more submissions, please

I have gotten a few responses to the top 10 contest.
Need a few more, unless you just want my own pathetic reasons, labeled as 'anonymous'.

a kids' park?

For this, I needed to bring my kids to disneyland?

That's right. During winter break, my family went to disneyland (which is not nearly as cool as Nageela, anyway) and here's one of the terrible lessons they teach kids. I try to teach my kids NOT to waste.

Silly mouse

Verification Word

I'm sorry, but I've had to add one of those annoying verification words if you want to post. The reason for this, quite clearly is to get you to comment more often, due to the novelty of getting to try and decipher some squigly lines which may, at some point, before having been chewed by a pack of rabid chihuahuas, have looked like letters. It's also fun having to retype it 3 or 4 times because there's no way you can possibly get it right.

OK, there were also too many spam comments, so this is a security measure. I dare you to try it. Yeah, you... I dare you!

Camp Dates

Hey people. I havent heard from any of you in a while. Here's the scoop. Nageela west for boys will end a couple of day before Nageela East starts, so you can go to both. I don't want ppl to leave East to come to West, but I'd love ppl to come to both. I wouild like to get an idea on the blog if you or anyone you know is interested in that.
Please post comments. thanks.

I like escsalators, because an escalator can't break. It can only become stairs.

Website

Hey guys, I know it's been a really long time since my last post. I've just been too cold to type. It reached under 80 degrees a few times. Can you believe it? Everything they call a desert nowadays. Why in my day...
Anyway, I've been working really hard on Nageelawest, and now the website is up! Not totally finished, but up. Check it out at nageelawest.org.

UTAH, here we come!

So while all of you were vacationing in your beautiful sub- zero conditions, I've been out here suffering in our inclement 85-90 degree days. Aside from that , here's big news!

I spent yesterday up in Utah (the most beautiful state, btw) checking out a new campus for Nageela West!
Yup, that's right. Once we finalize the deal I'll let you know more, but all I can tell you now is I've never seen a camp with nicer facilities than we will have! The area is beautiful, the rooms are incredible! NAGEELAWESTROCKS!

I'll post some pics (maybe) if I can find my camera.

Sukkos party pics

Looks like the Jersey boys had an awesome time at the Sukkos party! Wish I could have been there, but I couldn't find my winter coat.

He looks way too happy. Any cops around?

Luckily, Nageela staff members are very mature- parents, you can rest easy now!

As I was saying

He's up to something. I know it, he is...

You're supposed to eat the dog, not the finger...

Fetch, Fido!

How do you pitch to a strike zone like that?

Thanks to Corky for the pics.

Disappointing

Its only October and it's already way under 100 degrees. What kind of desert is this anyway?

LETS GO YANKEES

9 games up! Oh yeah!

And it never rains in Camp Nageela...

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's next prime minister might be nicknamed "the alien," but it's his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.

"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, wrote in a book published last year.

"It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

Very patriotic Camp

In what other place in the world do they celebrate August the twelfth with the same pomp and circumstance as we?
Get your kazoos ready!

scarrrry

No, parents, this man was not involved in taking care of your children, don't worry.
Besides, we made sure he was well fed before we let him near any kids.

Shabbos was verry verry nice here in Vegas.
Friday was not so nice. It hailed.
It was over 100 degrees and it hailed.
I don't get it either. Naturally, though it only hailed for a few minutes, it was precisely when I was outside!

I nominate rabbi shorty as a nageela all-star for arranging this week's mini- shabbaton.
