Camp Rawls in Wagener, South Carolina

Camp Rawls
Wagener, S.C.

Soft breezes blowing
From the peaceful lake below,
While on the hillside
Pines toss to and fro;
Bursting forth in splendor
Sunlight lends a touch of gold,
God hath made you Camp Rawls
Lovely to behold.

Camp Rawls, Oh how lovely!
Surely God designed each part;
Camp Rawls, Spot of Beauty,
You have won our hearts.

Greetings!

Wish that you were here,

A Milk Mustache on Conan O'Brien

I ate lunch alone.  Girls avoided me. I was teased by bullies. And that was just this afternoon.  What else hasn't changed since grade school?  I still drink milk.  Big guys need the calcium as much as kids do.  Plus bones grow until age 35.  About the same time I'm likely to start dating.

Where's your mustache?
