In our last post<\/a>, our hero ventured forth and discovered many new areas. Today, we cover some of his travels on the way back to camp, to deliver his collected stories about his travels.<\/p>\n

First, a commentary on commodification (or perhaps yoghurt?)[1]:<\/p>\n

\"For<\/a>
For Sale: Culture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But then, something even more magical! An entire playground of comically oversized board games! First, chess!:<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A gigantic chess set?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then Jenga! Much more fun than the scary scaffolding![2]:<\/p>\n

\""You<\/a>
“You take a 2×4 from the bottom, and you put it on top…”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s something about hexagons that makes Settlers so tempting to enlarge.<\/p>\n

\""I'll<\/a>
“I’ll trade you sandy sheep for sandy grain?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did quite enjoy the instantiation of the resources:<\/p>\n

\""I'll<\/a>
“I’ll trade you dusty sheep for dusty beer?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Magic Labyrinth! Always surprisingly difficult:<\/p>\n

\""Kite,<\/a>
“Kite, then mushroom, and *then* ice cream?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Scrabble! The gigantic game back at home that was half of the inspiration for Biggle!:<\/p>\n

\""Do<\/a>
“Do note the ping peen. It is my erstwhi e creed.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Moving on, our hero encountered a strange sight: <\/p>\n

\""FUR"<\/a>
“FUR” “But what does that smaller sign say?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘FUR’? An ‘Acme’ Tupperware tub? Coyote Garden? Either this is going to be fantastic or fantastic and ‘meep meep<\/a>!’:<\/p>\n

\""An<\/a>
“An Acme tupperware tub? Coyote Garden? Uh oh.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Apparently, ‘FUR'[3] camp extends a long ways. We’ll revisit these friendly folks later:<\/p>\n

\"A...somewhat<\/a>
A…somewhat odd…Eeyore shows us the way to the rest of FUR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Apparently, the current location is 5:30:<\/p>\n

\"FUR<\/a>
FUR PORTAL (and trampoline).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Please do not put colourful shoes inside the coyotes.” “Or does it say ‘Please *do*’? I’m never sure about these things.”:<\/p>\n

\""Please<\/a>
“Please do not put colourful shoes inside the coyotes.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next time, night falls, S tries out FaIRE hockey, and much fire is had. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

[1]I’m not sure who’s in this pic with me. Any ideas?<\/p>\n

[2]Wait…Is that gigantic truth or dare Jenga?!?<\/p>\n

[3]My guess is that this camp was an oasis for people who enjoyed wearing fur in various ways. During the day, I could only imagine how difficult that would have been. However, by the end of the week, everyone wanted to be them…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
