A certain someone who shall remain nameless has suddenly discovered what I shall refer to as notoriety through controversy, hehe. If you don't know who or what I'm referring to, too bad, I'm done linking to that other blog, for now.
In the meanwhile, I thought I'd generate a little controversy of my own (heh heh) by commenting on some pictures someone graciously sent me of some of "da yutes" at a recent camp gathering thing for young peoples (I don't think I know any of da yute's parents, so I should be safe). Now, I think that's just dandy for the young people to be able to fellowship with other like-minded folks. Talking and singing and worshipping the Lord, and just having a grand ol' time of fellowship.
But then someone comes along and tries to "improve" things by adding activities, many of which create, as an indirect result of said activities, something I shall refer to heretofore, and with as much discretion as I can muster, as Boing Boing.
No doubt you're wondering: "What in the world is he talking about?"
There is one particular activity that invariably results in a large amount of Boing Boing: Volleyball. Scores of hormone fueled teeny boppers trying to hit a ball over a net whilst trying to keep from running into each other and, at the same time, pretending to be oblivious to all the... Boing Boing.
With all of the bouncing, jumping, stretching for the ball, and excellent chances to jostle into a member of the opposite sex, maybe instead of Volleyball it should be called Our Daughters On Parade.
And on that rather blunt note, I propose a slogan I believe worthy of a license plate: Say No to Boing Boing.

Say on, brutha.
(someone needs to)
You're hilarious!!!
So what happened to yesterday's post? Huh?
Yah. I read it. It had my name in it, so how could I not? I was gunna comment, too...
Boing boing. That's hilarious. That was the first biggest difference I noticed between Aussie & Yankee youth camps.
Maybe we're just legalist over here, but you're the first Yankee I've "met" that actually sees it this way.
Congrats!
such discretion!!
such controversy!!
I think this post was all about trying to compete with the other nameless someone.
Having said that, I can agree with the general side of this controversy.
Actually Bro. Trevor, I commented on the other blogger because I was trying so hard not to say what I really wanted to, that what I said just sort of slipped out. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
I wrote a whole blog slightly referencing said other blog's "controversy", and then, as Alysa noted (Sorry Alysa!), promptly deleted it. I didn't say anything bad, I just decided enough attention had been brought to the brou-haha going on over at the other blog that maybe I should just hesh my mouf.
I jest that this blog is controversial, but I really don't think it fits that definition. Because I'm speaking honestly and from my heart in an open forum, I often worry that people will think my latest post is controversial, or that I've completely gone off my rocker or something. Or that someone at church will beat me up in the parking lot (just kidding!!!).
I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't enjoy seeing how many people read this blog. But generating controversy to get them here is the furthest thing from my mind. I would lose too much sleep.
Alysa - that's sad about the shortage of Boing Boing opposing Yanks. I would disagree with you, but the evidence seems to overwhelmingly support your statement.
Did that last comment make a lick of sense? What I meant to say was, "My only competition is myself".
There now. Much better.
Ah, but brother, thou knowest more Yanks than I dost, and therefore wouldst know more fully the extent of the anti-boing boing Yanks.
And being the controversial subject that it is, it is usually avoided with due discretion.
So, perhaps I should have said, you're the first yank I've heard voice such opinions in such a manner.
That being said, maybe I was just talking to the wrong Yanks...
Could be. :-)
