Toasting marshmallows can be very zen
Or you can be the non-zen me and keep lighting them on fire, then taking off the outside.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

I used to toast marshmallows for other people, because that is fun, but eating them, no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Campfire in America? Nope. I've been around campfires in:
- Jamaica
- Morocco
- Britain
- Canada
I didn't get here until age 23. Past my peak camping years, by far.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of white people...I was at a BBQ last night, and the girl who had caused the BBQ (she got her PhD) had NEVER HAD SMORES. Because she said it was a white people thing.
Yeah, I would say it's a camp/camping thing. Which has a heavy overlap with white people things, I'm sure.
I've never been in a bouncy house that I can recall. I think they are rich people things! Or something. People-with-yards things?

Sports bar, Dana?
Eta: I think my bouncy house experiences, such as they were, were at church fairs or the like.

Punishingly Intricate
I was never in a bouncy house until I was an adult so I figured they weren't around when I was a kid but other people my age say that is not true.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah. I suppose there has to be a sports bar around here somewhere.

Dana college football?
I found I could watch a lot of FSU's games on ESPN3.com.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
S'mores are good, but bouncy houses are awesome. There's a place on Cape Cod that has trampolines set up over holes in the ground, and it's the best thing ever. (This girl on the trampolines is doing all sorts of stuff that the rules say not to do, but almost no one actually follows any of the rules other than one person per trampoline. [link] )

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Is a bouncy house the same as a jumping castle? Ryan was in one of those on the weekend.
