So just a heads up, this isn't going to make much sense unless you do karate but I will try to explain this the best i can.
Kangeiko is an outdoor annual training event that our karate center does every year. The sensei has managed to set-up a really interesting scenario. I won't go in depth explaining it but, a bunch of ppl go out on space ships to planet toyota (aka a state park). The groups then split into teams (pu pu platters, barbies, superdeluxe, spam-a-lot, global warming, and the killer penguins). I'm a member of the spam-a-lot team. My sis is on the platters, my dad is on the penguins, and my mom is on the barbies. These teams are starting to inhabit planet Toyota. Every year we compete for the bragging rights of being in control of planet Toyota.
Anyways we spend two days competing for these titles. We did an obstacle course where you have to run over a wall, crawl on your belly through the mud, etc. The barbies also planned an event that involves the entire team changing into barbie clothes. As you could imagine, if you have to stay outside while it is pouring down snow and hail, you get awfully cold and miserable. But, when you throw in a few things it gets really fun.
On the first night we started a fire and got bored and started to burn barbies in the campfire. This was done to be an intimidation factor saying that the BARBIES ARE GOING DOWN!! Anyways this got kinda nasty, the barbie melted and got stuck to the shovel. So the next night we took a barbie head and stuck it on a barbie leg. We melted it in the fire. Now megan and I are going to give it to our band teacher 2moro.
Another story. This kid who I'm not going to name thought it would be funny to "smoke" a barbie leg. He stuck the foot in his mouth and lit the other side with a cigarette lighter. He had smoked at least three legs by the second night. The next morning after I finally dragged myself out of bed and to the mess hall, the kid who had been smoking the barbies was missing. I asked someone where he was and I found out he was sick. Some people seemed to think it had something to do with inhaling 3 burning plastic barbie legs worth of smoke.
So it was rainy and we were TRYING to start a fire. Nothing seemed to work. The killer penguins happened to have an aerosol can in their cabin for some reason. On the back it is clearly stated: "FLAMMABLE, KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT OR FIRE". Certain ppl couldn't think of a better fire starter. So after about 5 minutes of holding a match in front of the can and spraying fire at each other we decided to light the fire. fortunately, a judge/high councilman happened to stop by and take the can away. Eventually we did get the fire started. We tossed around jokes about throwing the can into the fire and what it would do. Another member said they were going back to grab another can. It was really dark so no1 could rly see anything. Upon arriving, a cylindrical object was thrown into the fire. Everybody hit the deck and ran. After hearing laughter we all came back up to notice that a coffee cup was burning in the fire. What a prank. It's kinda sad rly, every1 knew and did what you are supposed to do when a bomb is about to go off.
The next night some1 brought a karaoke machine and some1 else brought some beer. My team's juniors stayed up till about 3 in the morning either sitting in the sweat lodge (a home-made sauna) or playing with the karaoke machine. The adults decided to have a few. They came back to the cabin a little goofy. One of them slid into their bunk while grabbing the upper bunk, hit their head and fell. Only thing was it was really hard for my team to participate in this morning's events with a partial hangover.
