They do this every summer, no? The school has to make money somehow. You know, I spent two summers in Ames and I never remember it being "overrun" by any group. I bleed cardinal and gold and will be a Cyclone until I die, but you're really giving some people the wrong impression of our school.
I know you're not being serious and all, but, really. Is that necessary? I would be saying the same thing if a girl said it.

The Order of the Arrow conference was here... 6 or 8 years ago? happens every 2 years at varying locations.
It just feels over-run since this is probably the largest group after the Iowa Games and the Iowa Special Olympics to be on campus
and the most noticed (I dont remember people standing in the middle of the streets during the Special Olympics)
As for the flirting- was only done to my roommate's friends that are in town for the conference and they knew it would be happening in jest.

So let me get this straight. You have crushes on celebrities who all happen to be young males, one was 16. You also flirt with boy scouts.

Meaning, the campus opens itself for use by many different groups.
It is one thing to make such comments in private when you're with friends who know you and your personality and are able to interpret your non-verbal communication cues. It's another thing entirely to post them on a public forum for anyone to read and interpret in the manner to which they see fit. Have you ever taken a look at the current users list? The majority of the time the guests outnumber the registered users. You never know who is lurking and reading.

Exactly...the comment is a little sketchy (especially with the age of most boy scouts), but maybe that's just me.
On another note - that's a huge gathering to be taking place, I don't remember groups taking over Boston U. like that when I was there.

We've got a Boy Scout Pathways to Eagle gathering this weekend at Village Hall in my town. Boy Scouts from all over the place come, camp out on Village Hall grounds and work on merit badges. Although if you aren't going to Village Hall you probably won't see them.

Yeah, they do open it up to tons and tons of different groups. And the Boy Scouts are in town just about every summer. The summer after my freshman year one of the guys at the fraternity convinced the kid to switch the top of his Boy Scout shirt for a Greek Week shirt. (Those shrits were SOOO heinous.)
Tons of other groups come through throughout the summer and they used to travel in huge herds. Odessey of the Mind for example. It was always great to be working at Do-Biz when it was positively dead and suddenly have a line of 25 kids wanting cookies.

Cheerleaders took over the campus every summer at my undergrad. Also dorks, like myself, who attended smart people envrionment camp for a month in high school (ok, technically "Governor's School on the Environment".)
Funny, I remember complaining about when the cheerleaders arrived when I was a Gov. School kid...I wonder if the college kids complained about me? 
Then again, we weren't chanting on the way to dinner, in line at dinner, on the way back from dinner, during the day....

Pretty sure those boyscouts are residing at M-W-L, the most common place to stay for summer groups. Also they go to the MU to have lunch, and walk all around campus, admiring Central Campus.
Ah, summer in Ames. This is my second summer NOT being in Ames, and I miss it

The character was 16, the celebrity is 19. As for the boy scouts: the ones I flirt with are all in college.
But, yes- you have this "straight".

MWL, BWR, Oak-Elm, and 5 floors of Knapp are what I've heard.
At least they provide entertainment like a street-corner band and I think there was a pow-wow that was open to the public.
