Would you like to order a Purple Parrot from North Korea?

For five weekends, I battled with bad weather to pass my RCBS class (Red Cross Basic Sailing) so I could proudly call myself a Mariner. I'm a Girl Scout, as many of you know, and Mariners is part of the GS program. We sail Boats of all sizes including, sunfish, sloops, and Big Boats.

The last weekend, I managed to pass and became a Mariner. Whoohoo! And get this, the next weekend was the last Mariner weekend of the Spring 2011 sailing season, so I went and had a blast.

What's up with the Purple Parrots? You say.

Well, we stayed up late one night, and decided to prank call people. At first we were asking them if they wanted to donate to the Rooster Conservation Foundation, but we decided we needed something that was funnier.

So we agreed to sell Purple Parrots from North Korea. The stupid thing is, The U.S. has a trade band on North Korea and I don't think Solid purple parrots exist. Details...

We actually had two people say they wanted some, but since we didn't actually have any, we had to turn them down.

The interesting things we do at sailing camp... we also play Ninja, really intense games of ninja, like where you gets bruises and sore muscles from over doing your ninja moves...

We also play twister, which I'm not going to tell you about.
