Wait. It's Nick's fault. He was the one who started using chopsticks in the first place. Yeah, that's right. The way I heard it, he was working for a company which had company dinners at a nearby Chinese restaurant as often as possible. Being the astute and intelligent person he is, Nick noticed that the CEOs used chopsticks constantly and well, the middle-earning employees fumbled around, and the lower-earning employees used forks. Being the bright and discerning person he is, Nick saw a pattern here. He learned to use chopsticks, and in six months he got promoted three times. Moral of the story: use chopsticks well and often.
(see Nick's Rant for the story in his own words)
Several Not Back To School Campers (including myself) have taken this to heart. After all, chopsticks are not only useful in getting promoted, they are abnormal. And abnormality is the pinacle of existence.
So I got to camp this year all ready to be horrified by the vegitarian food they serve there. What did I see but people not only eating, but eating with gusto! And not only eating with gusto, but eating in a new and interesting way! Charlie loaned me an extra pair he just happened to have with him, and I joined the ranks of the... uhm... Chopstickians? This all culminated in a talent show skit.
And as they say, the rest is history...
