Potpourri - Monday 7/16

When the students arrived at the main campfire on Tuesday they would see there were a stack of plain looking tribal drums on a table. On Buster's table there was a basket full of glitter, glue, feathers and other moddable decorating stuff. When everyone was seated Buster clapped his hands (he was wearing his fake hand today) together and began to speak.



"Heeeeeey everyone. So today we are going to learn a bit about Indian Tribal Ceremonies. Indians lived here in America before Christopher Columbus came and gave all of them syphilis. Busy man, that guy. They didn't wear shirts and were the inventors of face painting." said Buster. He had no idea what he was talking about. "And they are also the ones who defeated the dinosaurs. Obviously they didn't do a very good job of it."

"Anyways, Indians used to drums to express how they feel during these ceremonies. They also um...drummed. A lot." Buster said. He paused for a moment. "Use every part of the buffalo."

"So you've got your drums on that table over there. They're a little plain but that's why I've got all this stuff from the store!" he said, sticking his fake hand in the basket on his desk. When he pulled it out it was covered in glitter and feathers. "Decorate them up! Try not to get any of the feathers near your face. You could poke an eye out."

"After you're done decorating them I'm going to give you a ceremony the Indians performed back in the day." said Buster. "And you just play what you feel. Maybe include a little dance or something...lyrics are always encouraged! And you get to keep the drums. Perhaps you can play at a Bar Mitzvah or something."

"And as a special added bonus that has nothing to do with the lecture, Chad was kind enough to bring in his kitty cat!" said Buster excitedly. "I love it when you guys get involved like this!"

"Oh, and before I forget. Next week we are going to learn how to be neither seen nor heard. So wear something that's inconspicuous." he said. "Sweater vests are always good. Nothing that makes you look like a trashy whore."

Jeff wasn't entirely sure what to doodle on his arms. He'd gotten started on Mary's busom, but stopped halfway as knowing his luck, it might not wash off that night. He absolutely did not hear a word Buster said.

Jeff had some feathers, a glittery hand, and a drum. He stared from one to the other and back again, nonplussed. Eventually he arranged the feathers in rude shapes on top of the drum, muttering.

Jeff was still staring at his drum. "...What's it for?" he asked, tapping the skin with his fingers. It may have been to the rhythm of 'The Bad Touch'.

Gwynn actually thought the drum looked nice the way it was...

...but then she started carefully decorating it with red feathers and red glitter.

She wasn't on a theme... no really.

Gwynn was a bit confused about all of this ceremony stuff.

Lucas was only half-listening while he tried to figure out what had gone wrong with the magnetic seal on his room.

Lucas' drum had carefully placed blue and green feathers around it, but no glitter. It all seemed very symmetrical.

Lucas stared for a few moments, then followed the instructions. Sadly without gusto.

"...Okay," Jeff said, totally lost. None the less, he started banging away on the drum, singing something garbled about holding out, stout, Doctor Indians and women. It might have actually made for a decent Broadway hit if he'd remembered the actual amount of flavors Buster had mentioned and hadn't ended up with something slightly more obscene instead.

He really got into it near the end.

Gwynn... stared at him. "Huh?"
