From: THE JEP VAN DRIVERS MANUAL

This is WAY too scary! AAAAAAAA

Yup, that's me on the Pirate ship with half of Bunk one. Go bunk One!!!
C'mon guys, I know that you can come up with a much funnier caption for this picture. So get to it, onward, move it... post your caption here in the comments section!

Q. What Do You Get When You Cross A Snowman With A Vampire?

A. Frostbite.

Anybody know Nochi Krohn? You should!

Nochi Krohn is someone that may Nageela campers may not know, but he's a great friend of Nageelas (besides being a personal friend). He is the arranger, recording technician and principal musician on our "I'm a Jew" CD, and he's been in camp several times for plays to help with the sound (especially this year with our awesome shema yisrael play.

Anyway, Nochi is engaged, yippee!
Mazal Tov to Nochi.

You can send your mazal tov wishes here.

Ohhhh Baby

We would like to wish a Mazal Tov
to former Nageela counselor
Mr. and Mrs. Elchanan Shoff
upon the birth of his daughter Shifra.

You can post your wishes here

Too Funny

I'm sitting here in the JEP office, laughing hysterically. Yes, it's a JEP meeting. If you only knew what went on behind the closed doors (no, we don't only make fun of campers- although it is the main thing we do). It's wayyyy too funny. I need to sign off.

Let the Games Begin

Open for ideas, but those are the basic details for an upcoming event

Coming in February.

Party Time

As you all know, this weekend is the one, the only, the fantastic

PARTY SHABBATON

(drumroll please) where you will jump (boing boing), flip (ouch ouch) eat (instead of a drumroll, can I get a drumstick?) dance (Dani, my bunk hasn't had gameroom in 4 months!) and do other exciting things (notice how sleep wasn't included in that list) accompanied by an allstar cast (hopfully not IN a cast) of staff members.
Sounds sweet, I know, I know.

If for some odd reason you're not yet signed up, do it right now on jepli.org by clicking on EVENTS and going to the PARTY SHABBATON (duh) area.

HI

happy chanukah to won and awl

This picture is wide open for funny lines. Let's see what you can come up with!

If it was camp, it would be chicken

Shalom SOmething

About half the camp is part of Shalom. Not to be confused with the other half of Camp which is part of the other Shalom.
Anyway, one Shalom (not the Camp Shalom program from Sinai academy... sorry, Azi) is having a shabbaton this weekend (it's the one that's a school in NJ, oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh). Not only are they having a shabbaton, but they've decided to bring in the best of the best, so I guess they're serving Diet Mountain Dew; but besides that, it means they're having Camp Nageela at their shabbaton!
So I'll be there, along with former Camp Driver Dude Avi Appel (hmmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with who he's married to?) and the greatest Nageela staff around!
If you happen to know of any of the greatest Nageela staff around who still may be interested in coming, let me know and we'll see if we have a spot for you (wink, wink).

A true Shabbat SHALOM.
OUCH

corny frogs

What do you call an illegally parked frog?

Mazal Tov

Mazal Tov

Avichai Ben- Shmuel

on his engagement to Hadassah Forer of Toronto.

Mama Rachel

While I'm talking music, I figured I should post something jewish, too. One of the favorite 'Shabbos is going away' songs is Mama Rochel. Here's the original artist live in concert.

Jeerrrrzzzzeeeee

EE BEE was awesome!
All you guys who were at the EB shabbaton, let's hear from you!
Did anybody know that Yoni Hoch sings opera?
The NETS did pretty well at that awesome game! we went to. Tell you the truth though, the best part was the performance by NUTTIN' BUT STRINGZ' who are now my favorite band. Check em out here!

The Shabbatons Are Coming!

The Shabbatons Are Coming! The Shabbatons Are Coming!

Even if that wasn't exactly Paul revere's cry, it holds true for us these next few weeks.
1. EB- this week, Jersey is rockin the suburbs with a sweet shabbaton including a trip to see the NETS vs. HEAT (free jersies included, of course).
2. Bucks County, PA- Robbie Kravets and Andrew Katsman (bunk 4) host dorky and the Richboro Shabbaton crew for a chilled shabbaton out in Churchville Pennsylvania.

Many more coming in upcoming weeks. If you want a shabbaton in your neighborhood, let me know! (no, not your neighborhood, Yehuda)

Here we go again!

The crazies are at it again!

Crazy

I don't know what's goin on. I'm just in a bit of a weird mood. What's new. It's not often that mmonkey fly over my head in middle of the night, Well, it actually is often, but usually they aren't singing opera in Yiddish. I guess that's just because they're purple monkeys. Makes sense. Uh- huh, perfect sense.

See, Bartholomew agrees.

Have a wonderful afternight and a merry Tuesday.

'nuff said

Pumpkin korn

Well, not really korny, but hey, it's a joke.

A rich millionaire decides to throw a massive party for his 50th birthday, so during this party he grabs the microphone and he announces to his guests that down in the garden of his mansion he has a swimming pool with two great white sharks in it. 'I will give anything they desire of mine, to the man who swims across that pool.'
So the party continues with no events in the pool, until suddenly, there is a great splash and all the guests of the party run to the pool to see what has happened. In the pool is a man and he is swimming as hard as he can, and the fins come out of the water and the jaws are snapping and this guy just keeps on going and the sharks are gaining on him and this guy reaches the end and he gets out of the pool, tired and soaked.
The millionaire grabs the microphone and says, 'I am a man of my word, anything of mine I will give, my Ferraris, my house, absolutely anything, for you are the bravest man I have ever seen. So sir what will it be?' the millionaire asks.

The guy grabs the microphone and says, 'Why don't we start with the name of the wise guy that pushed me in!'

Name the Podcast...

Some stttrange people decided to make a podcast and for some reason call it a Nageela podcast. What do we do about that? It neeeds a kname (that's a sophisticated way of writing 'name').
So post your idea of what it should be called.

Sukkah Parties

I know you guys like partying without me, so I'm sure you all enjoyed the sukkah parties you had.
We'd like to hear about them on the blog, so if you were at a Nageela Sukkah party, either @ Azi or @ Baruch Wasser, or you heard about them, let us know by posting comments here, or email them to me, so I can post them myself.

Lunch

Just thought you'd all be interested in knowing that for lunch today I'm eating a red pepper and cottage cheese. Exciting, isn't it?

I like Chinese Blogs?

How scary would it be if my blog was all in Chinese? Check it out!

OK, IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE WE'VE HAD A TOP 10 CONTEST, so here we go!

Everyone has a unique way of decorating a sukkah.

Avi Gewirtz puts a disco ball in his, for some reason when I was a kid we had Haman hanging in our Sukkah. There are some strange ones out there.

We're going for the top 10 wacky NAGEELA themed Sukkah decorations.

It doesn't have to be real, but it should be creative.

email your ideas to me dani@jepli.org and I'll post the 10 best answers along with your name.

Nageela the Video!

It's finally here!

Don't shoot the messenger

Oh, the sorrow
Oh, the grief

it is my sad and ignominious duty to inform you of the passing of the sheep.
It lived a productive life, giving wool to those in need, support to the downtrodden insects that lived on its fleece, and giving warm, if undetectable smiles to poor campers who attempted to catch the rabbits.
Our thoughts and prayers are with its family.
Sheep, we will miss ewe.

Hey... Where all da campers at?

POST

POST

POST!

It doesn't have tyo be anything impressive or brilliant, as you can clearly see from the staff members who post here regularly. Just say Hi, or whatever, but make your presence felt. It's kinda lonely in here.

Thanks.

The most loneliest day of my life.

No Bananas!

We offer our deepest and most sincere apologies to Banana Head Joe for the blatant insensitivity this song shows towards him annd his race. This is a truly reprehensible demonsration of Human bigots (well, Muppet bigots, but everyone knows that muppet politicians have no real power, they're just puppets) superciliously casting condescending aspersions on the veracity of an entire, sweet, if not abit overly mushy, species. We do hope that by the publication of this video, the original producers will develop contition and ameliorate the plight in which overripe bananas now stand.

To tell you the truth, it's just a funny song, so eat it, banana head!

Smell the Cake, smell the cake...

Camp Nageela would like to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following all- star Nageela campers:

David Schenkler ...8/24
Leon Isahakbayev ...8/30
Zachary Miller ...8/31

Hey, I had korn for supper tonight...

Deep Thoughts

Do chickens think rubber humans are funny?

submitted by Jeffrey Weisz

aaaaand some more pix...

Everyone always loves pictures, so why not post another bunch?

Bunk 6 invades the pool.

Bunk 1 invades the dining room

Hershey Park invades Bunk 3

BY THE WAY...

Bunk pics are now up on the Nageela website!

In Honor of the Champions

Since Matis wins the league championship every year (quack, quack), and since this year he made it all the way up the mountain (quack, quack), we thought it appropriate to share this beautiful and mooooving video which we all saw in camp... here it is, DO DE DUCK!

Korn is Back

Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens?

They kept saying "Bach, Bach, Bach"

If apples come from an apple tree and peaches come from a peach tree, what kind of trees do chickens come from?

A poul-tree

Subliminal tuna tails

or something like that...

T- shirt poll

We asked you in a poll on this very blog which Nageela T- shirt design was your all- time favorite. Results were a bit surprising, here they are.

Goooogle 26.92%
Cartoon Network 15.38%
iProud 38.46%
Mountain Jew 7.69%
Verizon 11.54%

And the winner is iProud! That was 2005's logo.
Wonder what we'll come up with next year.

some more pictures

Welcome Home

Did someone say Camp is starting soon? It's really pretty nuts that it's over. 4 weeks can't fly by that quickly.
Well, at least I still can share a part of you guys, 'cause as I walk around camp today, I see tons of stuff that you all left. It is kind of lonlely, though walking around a totally quiet campus... well not totally quiet, Yehuda's sitting in the corner crying kind of loud. I also hear a faint thump, thump, thump, which means that either the horse is loose on the roof, or someone is playing dance dance revolution.
I keep tripping over things on the floor... yearbooks, kittens, someone's guitar, a 2 ton moose, a box of 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' four banana head joe cartoons, 3 toy guns from Hershey Park, and alot of Danish clues.
Well, gotta sign off now to try to finish packing up, but email me with ideas of what to post. dani@jepli.org

Let's see some posting!

Come on parents!
Your kids are having a fantastic time in camp, let's hear what you have to say about it.
