Going camping?

You simply cannot make up anything as strange as real life. On the news last night, there was a story about two lesbians and their attempt to start a campground catering to gays, lesbians, and transgenders. In the mountains of western North Carolina, they had worked out a deal with the Happy Valley Campground to use part of their property for their new venture. Now the folks at Happy Valley have backed out of the deal and the girls are unhappy.

The prevailing belief is that the locals were not ready to welcome Camp Lickalotta to their area. Yes, Camp Lickalotta! I'm guessing that the names Camp Muffdiver and Camp Carpetmuncher were already taken. For those of you who still think that I am making this up, go to www.camplickalotta.com .

I am fascinated by the way that some radical gay people approach things. In the restaurant business, I have worked with a lot of gays. Years ago, a gay waiter was telling me that his sexual preference was his private business. Then why, I asked, do you keep telling us all about it?? I don't care what you do, but I don't want to hear all about it either.

The girls are claiming that the Camp Lickalotta has been misunderstood. Yeah, I believe that! I also believe that Camp 69, Camp DoggyStyle, Camp Kama Sutra, Camp Cunnilingus, and Fort Fellatio have no sexual connotations.

Enough of this, I am going back to their website to check on those Camp Lickalotta t-shirts.
