Bug Juice and Fermentation: An Excellent Combination

In the past four websites I've visited (facebook and random blogs) three of them have talked about (or dedicated a note to) Camping. Surely this is a blogworthy event, I figured, so here we are. This all becomes truly Nexusy when I remind you all that a camping trip is being planned for this very weekend to honor this blog. (Well, partially. The other part is for some much needed Shizzy Crunkness. Sorry, Youngins, this is an 18+ event. We can hang out another time)

According to Wikipedia, Camping became popular in the early 20th century. This makes sense, of course, because that's also the time of prohibition in the US. (Coincidence? I think not) Even before then, camping was how those travelling Westward to freedom and new hopes in their humble covered wagons survived for months at a time. And since according to that logic Camping -> California and Colorado (both states on the foreground of decriminalization), clearly only good things can come of this.

So here's to Nature. Thanks, Mom, for giving people of all ages and backgrounds the oppurtunity to wait in lines or to go concerts for days on end, and attend parties so large that one house just can't sleep everyone. But most of all, Mom, thanks for giving people a legitimate excuse to get their real parents (and the rest of the world) out of their hair for awhile, and enjoy all the glories you have to offer (especially the chemical ones).

Oh, and best Wiki Link ever:
