You know how drunk/high/stoned people don't really do a whole lot? They either just sit there half-asleep or maybe dance until they pass out. Some argue there are nefarious machinations behind this behavior. There are no such arguments about basketball camp though, so feel free to shoot some hoops.

We also didn't experience much of the Olympics, which may go down in history as one of the most divisive Olympics ever since the decision to allow non-Greeks to compete. Big mistake, if you ask us.
