It's been ages since I've seen Camp Nowhere, but I used to love that movie as a kid.

Meh, I thought that was kind of unoriginal. My mom used to call the community college in the town where she grew up that, sinch the town's initials were SH, so it's kind of an old joke to me.

But I'm looking forward to seeing Lewis Black in it, I've been a fan for awhile and he also came to my school last semester, sold out the house and tore it down. Real nice guy off-stage too, and surprisingly soft-spoken.

/hijack: One of the community colleges near my parents, South Suburban, located in South Holland, IL, is informally known as the South Holland Institute of Technology. The other community college, Morraine Valley is known as either Moron Valley, or UCLA - University Closest to LaGrange Avenue. That's high humor in the south suburbs.
/end hijack.


eta: add Morraine Valley snarky comment.

HA! That's exactly the same school I was talking about. However, I have a friend who goes there now and I asked her if they still called South Suburban that, and she had never heard the joke. Right now I'm taking a class at Prarie State College, which has been lovingly nicknamed "Harvard on Halsted."
