No post for you! (Stage 3)
"Yeah, that's like how shampoo smells good but tastes bad."
So we left on Friday for Rawley Point. It 's this Coast Guard lighthouse on Lake Michigan. It had a nice white sandy beach and a nice little cabin by the lighthouse. We went swimming for an hour in the very green lake (green with shit, not water reflection). Right as we were getting out, Mrs. Scudder ran up and told us that the lake was INFESTED WITH E.COLI. No, wait. It was infested with e.coli. Didn't we see all the red signs, of which there were none>!>!? In any case, it later turned out okay. I mean, I think. That shit has a 72-hour incubation period, after all. So we did that and then gamed a lot inside. Much Seinfeld watching as well. We roasted marshmallows. Mr.Scudder was having quite the time lighting the fire, so Jack and I showed him how to do it (wood+match+lighter fluid).
Wisconsin, Stage 4
"Look! Pepperoni!"
Luke is a noob. That is all that I can say at this point, LOL. More gaming. We went in the water for a little bit, but it was really shitty. I mean you couldn't even see a foot to the bottom for all the green crap floating in there. Septic tank drains to the lake, water taps from the lake. It was a calm day. Nice day.

"Gaming is not a crime."
We left Rawley Point that day. It was as great little stay, but it was over. After we got back, after much Castlevania and New Super Mario Bros in-car, we went to the Neenah Pool. It's a nice pool, which is populated mainly by overweight 9-year-olds. Also, there are many lifeguards. One of them was Spencer, Jack's friend. He is a very nice guy and we talked to him for a while. Luke spent a lot of time underwater with his goggles, probably ogling the moms and 9-year-old girls. We eneded the night with some Seinfeld, and then Jack and I went downstairs. We watched Anchorman and Collateral, both very good movies. "It smells like Bigfoot's dick!" This quote, though funny, was ruined by Luke's incessant, masturbatory repetitions of it.
Wisconsin, Stage 6
"You know, I don't think it's possible for me to stick my foot in my mouth. It's always in there."
We went driving around town today. I saw the Scudders' old house, and a bunch of other neighborhood-related things. We brought lunch to Mr. Scudder's office. He works at Pierce, a firetruck manufacturing company. It's pretty cool. We checked out some Seinfeld, and took a nap. We spent nearly two hours watching hilarious home videos of nine-year-old Jack dancing. HI-FREAKING-LARIOUS! We also covered many other aspects of the Scudders' past in our viewing spree. Tonight, we had two of Jack's friends come over to play the Bible Game and watch Dane Cook. The Bible Game is actually pretty fun! But there must always be 4 players, and the PS2 has only 2 natural controller ports. So the comps are really cheap, but we passed it around between Luke, Ben, Jack, Andrew, Ryan, (Jack's friends) and me. So now I'm sitting here at 11:34pm Wisconsin time. I am so fuck-ing tired. We have stayed up until like 2 every night this week. I am seriously going to crash tomorrow on the plane, if that's at all possible. This is Davis Hill. You stay classy, Shoreline.

Wisconsin, Stage 2
We were woken up by Mrs. Scudder's voice: "Jack, 10:30 is enough sleep! Wake up!"
We got up and went for a bike ridee so Jack could show me around. Today had much less adrenaline-fueled swearing than yesterday. Actually, not. Anyway, I got to see all over this nice town of Neenah. It's not as hot as Shoreline, but humid, so it's about equal. After that, we hung out until we went over to the EAA airshow. It is a huge airshow in Oshkosh, where all these people fly in their planes and show them off. There are also all sorts of stunt plane groups, so it was pretty fun. I tried not to fall asleep. We came back and gamed our heads off. We tried to see this play that Jack's teacher was in, but it was all sold out. We watched Super Troopers instead. Now I am enlightened ("That look like spit to you?" "Yeah." "Fuck it."). Now we're sitting on his nice couch. Jack's reading the Nintendo Power mini New Super Mario Bros guide and I'm sitting here posting. So we're heading out to Lake Michigan tomorrow for some uber fun. Happy day all.

Wisconsin, Part 1
So I'm here in Neenah, Wisconsin, at the Scudder residence. It is 11:57 pm. I have not slept for the last 39 hours. I shall detail my adventures:
Woke up at 8 on Tuesday and did normal activities. Okay, blah blah blah. I spent my day packing and gaming. I tried to take a nap at 9, but to no avail. I wish I had slept, because we left for the airport at 10:50, to catch my 12:55am flight (good job estimating how much time we needed, Mom). So I did that, and the flight was the very bad. I tried to sleep but phailed. Thankfully, I was energized for some reason or another. I arrived at Minneapolis/St.Paul airport at 6 (WI time). I flew out to Milwaukee at 7:20 and got in around 8. Suddenly, by the baggage claim, I saw him. Jack! We climbed into the car and headed out. We grabbed some McDonalrds' breakfast and began the journey to Great America, a huge Six Flags theme park in Illinois. It was raining and we thought to beat the crowds. Unfortunately, it cleared up and we had only a few hours until the hordes arrived. We (meaning Jack, Luke, Ben, and I) first tried the Orbit, a thing that whirls little carriages around at ever-stranger angles. We then hit up the Viper rollercoaster, then the Raging Bull rollercoaster (complete with near-vertical drop), and then the El Diablo Loco Mine Drop. One of those big towers that drops you in a free-fall and then stops you. It was so high. Like 200 feet. Well, probably not that much, but it was really scary all the same. As the chairs began to drop, an acute listener might have heard a faint, "FUCK! OH JESUS CHRIST!" And by faint, I mean me screaming at the top of my lungs. It was so good that we did it again. Then we set out to do the cow ride, the Ricochet, a thing with chairs that fling out and go up and down. It was good but very bad for the head. Then we rode the Demon, a coaster that had two loop-de-loops and a corkscrew section, and went underground. It was sweet. The other guys rode the DejaVu, one of those pieces that has you hanging from underneath the track. It also held you up in the air and then dropped you. I was not feeling very good at this point, after no sleep and eating mainly chocolate-chip granola bars on the plane. It all worked out, however. After lunch, we rode the American Eagle coaster, a very long track with a huge fall to rival Raging Bull's. The orld, screeching track produced a very large headache in my brain. After that, we hit up the water area. They had a wave pool, a river with a current, and a huge tower-play-structure thing, all of which we used to the highest capacity. We also did some cool water-slalom type rides. Finally, it was time to leave. After a long car ride, we ate dinner in Oshkosh (15 minutes from home) at Culver's, a very cool drive-in style restaurant. WE made it back home to Neenah and here I am! Much talking has occurred, and I presented teh_scudderer with his yearbook. Indeed, it was a glorious moment. Cheers to all! Now I bid you farewell, for I must sleep and rise early tomorrow to stand in the hot, hot sun of a plane show. Wish me luck.
God Bless Wisconsin.

Inventory Affected!
All right, my computer no longer accepts the wireless router, and, as such, I have no internet connection. There is much to report in my daily life and in the progress of the house reconstruction, but it shall have to wait.
