You know how drunk/high/stoned people don't really do a whole lot? They either just sit there half-asleep or maybe dance until they pass out. Some argue there are nefarious machinations behind this behavior. There are no such arguments about basketball camp though, so feel free to shoot some hoops.

It had farm animals, food, and probably other things but we didn't experience those because we were being led by a toddler. We also didn't experience much of the Olympics, which may go down in history as one of the most divisive Olympics ever since the decision to allow non-Greeks to compete. Big mistake, if you ask us.

Cheering yourself up can mean different things to different people. If you're 21, it means drinking a lot. If you're a politician, it means voting for your own salary increase.
