Dina finds a frog in her shoe, and immediately wants to squish it. Storyline B involves a classic struggle between Dina and ZZ, which is a nice departure from the usual Dina/Telly clash of ideals. Budnick reckons he has it in the bag, but Ug reminds him that if the Camp Anawanna counsellor handbook is not enforced, Dr. Anyway, Ug and Budnick agree to swap roles for the weekend, and to sweeten the deal a little, the kids will vote for their favourite counsellor (Ug or Budnick) at the end. He's a pathetic little man who reminds me of every teacher I hated in high school. Ug is so unlikeable that I don't have a single ounce of sympathy for his plight. I mean, yes, the kids torment him like there's no tomorrow, but you know what? I don't even care. Coincidentally, Budnick has been complaining extra-loud about what a truly shitty counsellor Ug is. It seems that as part of Upside-Down Weekend, one lucky camper will get to become a counsellor for the next two days. It's Upside-Down Weekend at Camp Anawanna, which means that, uh, well.everyone does stuff backwards, I guess. Plus, I have a Camp Anawanna T-shirt now. How can she do that without even watching it first, I hear you ask. Since YouTube doesn't seem to have the first part of this episode, I'll have to recap it for you sans video. It's pink, which I know you think makes me a Dina, but ZZ did wear a pink shirt when the gang went to look for Sarah Madre's treasure, so the jury's still out on that one. Side note: my eBay-bought Camp Anawanna T-shirt arrived for me in the mail today, and I don't think I could be more excited. You should've seen how annoyed I was upon discovering that the actor who plays Pinsky got to feature in that banned Leo DiCaprio movie, and I didn't. I'm just as surprised as you that it ended up as 'yoghurt tub'.) Luckily, I've chosen an episode that features a distinct lack of Pinsky, because Pinsky sucks, and fuck Pinsky. (I'm sorry I wasn't sure where I was going with that metaphor until the very end.


Pinsky is exactly like Michael, if the word 'exactly' means 'completely the opposite of.' Pinsky is but a layer of mould on the yoghurt tub that is Camp Anawanna. You see, his parents decided to yank Michael right out of camp and take him to Switzerland.because Switzerland has some sort of magical healing properties? Whatever the madness behind this method was, it doesn't change the fact that we have a new camper. Now I know what you're thinking - terrible news, right? I mean, it definitely calls for a trip to the infirmary and some TLC from Nurse Julie.right? Right?! Short answer - no. (And I'm not just talking about the site's brand new make-over!) You see, one of our favourite campers, the oddly Aryan-looking Jew Michael Stein, contracted a nasty case of teh chicken pox. Greetings friends, and welcome back to Camp Anawanna! Things are slightly different here than last time you visited.
