1)For the first time ever, last year the younger half of the participants brought much more beer than the older half. What do you think is the major cause of the monumental shift?

Douglas "The Studly" Irwin - .

Ron (the old man) Roloff - .

Dave - .

garth langhammer - I am glad we are sensitive to the needs of the younger generation. I truly believe that drinking more beer will bring us all closer to an understanding of this monumental shift. I for one am willing to sacrifice all to resolve this mystery. .

Todd Byrne - This is an ageism question that really tries to divide rather than bring us all together (impling old farts vs. young pups) - can't we all just get along. If there is going to be a true comparison... we need to examine the past drinkers vs. non-drinkers groupings. I believe the answer to this question is rather simple ? 1) there are more old farts that are non-drinkers; 2) the old farts don't need as much beer as the young-pups; 3) the old farts have already suffered the pains of trying to canoe with lots of beer compared to the young-pups who are not as wise; and 4) the bottom line: Kenny is getting older and wiser.

Kyle Schwarz - Younger half is just preparing for a day of hard celebrating after winning the events. .

Jacob Malewicki - .

Eric Frank - .

Mr. Kenny Becker - Ron and DAVE, You know dirt the Wheel and Fire have one thing in common with the both of ya, AGE. The truth hurts, trust me my back hurts each day. .

Dan - .

John - .

Ian - We should have him list off the things not aloud on the trip as well as the simple rules Friday night. .

Jesse - The reason for this shift is that the older half is smarter than the younger half. The older half can save money by just drinking the younger half's beer instead of buying there own. .

Brady - Someone got married (Doug) .

Alan - .


2) Doug Irwin has been a poor example in terms of He-Man leadership for the younger generation. On He-Man 2011 he wore a watch for almost a full day and refused to expend effort on the lake race because he felt the start was unfair. How should we encourage Doug to be more He-Man like?

Douglas "The Studly" Irwin - .

Ron (the old man) Roloff - .

Dave - .

garth langhammer - Dougie,Dougie,Dougie.....I miss one year and you fall to pieces. Don't worry everyone. I am back to make sure he does not fail. Doug likes his ears scratched after he gets stressed out. If you all could do that for him until I get there that would encourage him. Thank you. .

Todd Byrne - In the days of He-Man past... such infractions would be punished by making the found culprit paddle the canoe backwards (with their complicit partner). This punishment would continue till Boyd thought enough punishment was served. However the rules are getting pretty lax and I am not sure if the true spirit of the He-Man still exists. That is ok, someday this trip might even have a woman show Doug how to really paddle (oh wait... I guess George has beat Doug before). .

Kyle Schwarz - Don't bother, it's simply just not possible. Getting married has obviously turned him soft, and there's just no more hope for Doug. He's lost. .

Jacob Malewicki - .

Eric Frank - .

Mr. Kenny Becker - ask the dear mrs. Irwin which strip club he was supposed to get picked up at, after a few undeserved nights on the couch He'll toughen up. .

Dan - .

John - .

Ian - If we recall form the 2010 He-man he dumped a large portion of one of the evening meals. With a chance to redeem himself in 2011, he failed to fully perform his duties as breakfast cook forcing other He-men to pick up the slack. Based on his record I think George cooking should simply be out of the question. .

Jesse - Lets make him swim the hole He-Man. This means no stopping,standing, or hanging on to canoes. .

Brady - i could say more beer o'clocks, but there was a few of those last year and he wasn't much of a He-Man last year. so we could make him paddle the aluminum canoe alone like Dave did last year. .

Alan - .

3) Dave allowed George to cook breakfast for the first time last year. What was observed was: a) George made sure to eat his granola before making breakfast. b) Ron did most of the breakfast cooking Saturday and Sunday. c) Alan did most of the cooking Monday. What should our response be if George wants to be breakfast cook again?

Douglas "The Studly" Irwin - .

Ron (the old man) Roloff - .

Dave - .

garth langhammer - a. Ron is the best breakfast cook, no offense to anyone else. b. Alan is a real he man for stepping up to the plate. c. If you all want some meat for breakfast. You should already know what to say about George cooking .

Todd Byrne - The saying goes something like this: fool me once - shame on you; fool me twice shame on me. Whoever thought that George should be allowed anywhere near He-Man food cooking duties needs to have their head examined. This is 2 years that George has somehow begged his way into food duty... George should not be allowed to pick chores until the last Rookie has selected. If George is required to do something with food, this should be as a towel assistant to the food preparers. .

Kyle Schwarz - I'm really confused as to why anyone thought vegetarians would even know how to cook sausage or bacon in the first place, let alone let it try. He had his chance, leave the breakfast to the experienced grill-masters. .

Jacob Malewicki - .

Eric Frank - .

Mr. Kenny Becker - ah snap crackle burp should be the menu then. .

Dan - .

John - .

Ian - If Ron is concerned with infections I suggest that he bring a first aid kit so he attend to boo-boos during the trip. .

Jesse - The Answer to this is simple, no. If he can't do the job properly than he shouldn't be allowed to do it. .

Brady - leave the cooking to the better cooks .

Alan - .


4) As a result of Ron being thrown into for his 25 He-Man, he cut his finger on Kenny's suspenders. He said he was not going to do the group swim at the end because he did not want his finger infected. What do have to say to that?

Douglas "The Studly" Irwin - .

Ron (the old man) Roloff - .

Dave - .

garth langhammer - I still have my EMT license and I have to say professionally that what he did makes absolute sense. Privately I think he really knows how cold the water is and I still think he makes absolute sense. .

Todd Byrne - While safety is always a concern, and I always respect Ron's opinion on the conditions relating to safety (yes this is a suck-up comment)... we do have to ask: what part of the traditions are sacred. As the He-Man founders become older what else will be compromised: are we going to have an ER team standing by for each event; while I might like pretty nurses (female) to provide nightly back-rubs - where do we limit these transgressions and say these are our core values. .

Kyle Schwarz - Ron is simply just afraid of water and making excuses to stay away from it after having a traumatic experience.. throw him in multiple times when he's not expecting it and I'm sure he will get over it. .

Jacob Malewicki - .

Eric Frank - .

Mr. Kenny Becker - what's a little flesh eating virus? To quote one of the Blessed Founders Boyd: come on what are Ya? A WIMP? .

Dan - .

John - .

Ian - Perhaps these participants believe the beer will ack as form of performance enhancer or that it will subdue the feeling of exaution at the end of the day. The older participants have realized that with beer neither is the case and now simply enjoy watching those who make beer can pyramids. .

Jesse - Whimp. Real He-Men don't worry about infection. .

Brady - i thought it was men only on this trip .

Alan - .
