Bring the Tigers Back!
Rory: We have another addition to the saga of ---. They lost one of their canoes.
Maria: I feel like he gets addressed by Your Holiness more than yo Francis.
Jake K: They don't get signal.
Maria: So how are they calling us?
Jake K: You know...
Andrew: Hey Van ---! You're alive? Well done!
Chris C: Thanks for letting us know. No, just thanks for letting us know. No. Just thanks! From all of us.
Jim: What kind of weather are they having right now?
Maria: In Connecticut? Raining, according to my mother.
Jake K: Hey Jesse. We don't know why you were on hold.
Frosh: I actually like not having to shower.
Chris C: Well, some of them are nice to have. Or say that you have.
Caroline: Do you know where the box of red bags is that we knew we were going to lose?
Jim: The text was sent, but whether they read those directions is another question.
Andrew: If I had a child, it would be Ben.
Sarah: Andrew's such a cat. Like, if you made a cat a human, it would be Andrew.
Leader: Everyone knows where Nassau Hall is, right?
Frosh: Oh, that's the main one with the arch, right?
Andrew: GR is Vermont? I thought it was like Green Railroad in Massachusetts...
Frosh: I'm going to do that thing to you that you do when someone's choking, except just to make you throw up.
Delaney: I was so tired that when Bus 1 arrived, I shouted, "The South has risen again!"
Ben: The tent is peeing.
Rory: I don't want to be communicated with.
Rory: I'll be there until 10... 11... 9:40.
Caroline: Please don't get near me, I can't see that well.
Rory: Guys, be quiet. I'm getting a call, probably from the frosh... Hi, this is Rory from Command Center... Oh hi Rick.
Elizabeth: Oh, this is a table.
Maria: I feel like he gets addressed by Your Holiness more than yo Francis.
Jake K: They don't get signal.

We love blood, just not on OA.
Chris C: If it makes me sad, it's probably in the South.
Maria: I'm going to make them run an errand for me, and they're not going to like it.
Josh: I don't know why they want to talk to you.
Caroline: Because I'm the coolest, obviously. Get out of your seat.
Maria: Yeah, it's going to be -drops phone- sorry, hi, you guys are still there.
Erica: I love giving blood!
Caroline: Jake, if you text me a week before and also the day of, I will give blood.
Jake K: Any excuse to text you.
Erica: Of course everyone's on my blog.
Jake K: Feel free to get me coffee when you come back.
Josh: It's time for another rousing edition of "Where the Hell is ---".
Jake K: I have to reload this? Who the hell do they think they are?
Jake K, Erica, and Rory: Tell them we love them!
Chris C: Okay, we love you, bye.
Caroline: She's just been given too much morphine, so it's like she's on too much drugs to do anything.
Kathryn: So we basically have a high frosh...
Jake K: Hi Van 1--- You're not a van.
Rick (at 3:56pm): We missed pi time.
Chris C: I would? You would. I would. I will. I am. What do you want me to say?
Maria: You're checking on their diet?
Jake K: Well... Yes. I am.
Kathryn: Hey Van ---! How are your detective skills?
Kathryn: A group drank the Delaware River.
Josh: Really? The whole thing? They must have been really dehydrated.
Andrew: Just leave the pancake extract at the junction; I don't think anyone will want it anyways. Hello? Hello? She hung up on me!
Andrew: I know you haven't done anything yet, but I'm thanking you in advance.
Kathryn: We have an equilateral triangle situation going on...
Andrew: Caroline, what kinds of vegetarian food do you like?
Caroline: Uhm. Ones that don't have meat in them?
Chris C: I don't know. I don't ask questions, I just help.
Jake K: How am I? I'm doing good. Thank you for asking, no one asks that!
Rick: I am not a spicy person.
Chris C (on lawnparties): I'm lucky I have a really great skin tone and can rock all those colors.
Maria: We have a very special assignment for you guys; would you like to hear about it now, or on the conference call later?
Caroline: I'm the kind of person who usually has a spoon... On me... In my backpack.
Maria: 13.3 megabytes is bigger than 4.2 megabytes right?
Josh: They're doing chopsticks by choice in there.
Rick: So six days before the trip, we had to plan 40 new routes.
Maria: And then they all got cancelled anyways, because of the hurricane?
Ben: I'm the fat one, you're not the fat one.
Rei: There is no such thing as unnecessary aggression.
Erica: Your only blog on my quote is...
Maria: I'm going to make them run an errand for me, and they're not going to like it.

OA Command. Busy saving lives.
Sarah: I feel like I can look at you and see what kind of grandma you're going to be.
Chris Y: I have a game that can involve 13 people and will make you all want to kill each other.
Rei: Killing is good.

Phones Calls and Delayed Meals
Too be fair, all mealtimes have been at a reasonable hour thus far this year!
***
Caroline: You can't that seriously misuse soap...
Jake S: Oh, that's a K, not a chicken!
Caroline: Hey Jake, ready for some babysitting?
Sarah (as Ben sits down at South): Ben, do you even go here?
Caroline: Tell him to stop talking so much and drink some water!
Rick: It sounds like we need you to drink a little less water...
Kathryn: I don't approve of hearts.
Andrew: Could I have your store hours please? 9:15 oh my god.
Safeeyah: I was part of the [Green Team's] inaugural year. It's basically two people who -whispers- are paid -normal voice- to help with sustainability with what the trips bring back.
Sarah: Have I ever demonstrated that I can make a beard out of my hair?
Andrew: Yes. Hello. Yes. Hello. Hi. Yes.
Andrew: -to Command- I don't believe a bear stole their stove, it's just not possible. Maybe a frosh really liked the stove and just kept it? -to the trip- It seems like a good stove so you should be fine. We validate that a bear stole your stove.
Rick: You guys sometimes get dumped on.
Ben: So what is the treat? Is it just a pineapple?
Rick: It says Fifty Shades of OA; people have been trying to hook up.
Ben: Where is the CT binder?
Jake K: On top of the trash can.
Caroline: Man, there's a lot of wild pineapple in New England these days.
Jake S: Like when we all leave and you're alone sort of thing?
Safeeyah: Isn't that like a duh?
Jake S: It's 11:38. I mean 11 and 38 seconds.
Caroline (about Terhune's): I bet they open after we open.
Andrew: I'm sorry, I'm going to put you on hold, I'm so sorry.
Caroline: Not Nick. It was Rick.
Caroline: You can't that seriously misuse soap...

Rick: The short description is not very long.
Josh (trying to pick up a phone): Ah shit ah oh. Dammit.
Rory: How many miles do they have?
Kathryn: Hashtag hashtag hashtag hashtag
Elan: Tell them they'll definitely get the water. And we'll work on the other things, but no promises. And they're going to have a great trip.
Erica: There's no certified water dispensary, no.
Jake K: Just explain who you are, that you're supporting an orientation, drop Princeton if you have to...
Elan: How can you have a nine in his name?
Andrew: Hello? Helloooo? Please call back. Thank you.
Andrew: They might not take you up on the car ride, so just abduct them if necessary.
Kathryn: I'm sure you're associating my voice with evil things by now...
Rick: What are my options here?
Jake S and Erica: Rice...
Kathryn: Get Van --- on the line.
Sarah: Sure, what do I need to tell them?
Kathryn: That they're not going home tonight.
Sarah (to the tune of Grease songs): You better shape up, cuz I need a van...
Sarah: I thought T-shirt chair meant you put a T-shirt on a chair.
Jake S: Yeah, I go to meetings and put a T-shirt on a chair.
Rick: You're being very cooperative, it's just your bowels are not.
Chris Y: So should I get them another room or just order a crib?
Chris Y: I would enjoy the anonymity. Could def use it on the blog.
Kathryn: OA Command, this is you.
Josh (to a van): This is Josh from OA Support.
Erica: Command!

Departure Day!
Chris Y: Elan, what would you like for lunch?
Elan: Would you like a pepper?
Chris Y: Uh, I would prefer if that's not lunch.
Elan: I'm just going to be annoying to you as much as possible.
Jake K: Oh, we always stop at Kent School. It's a very nice boarding school.
Trip: So, we're on the bus and one of the mirrors fell off...
Josh: -dramatically- Hi, this is Josh with the North desk.
Kathryn: This trip has a 27-ton bus driving over a bridge with a max weight of 3 tons...
Caroline: NOOOO!
Chris Y: No more than six miles. No more than six miles. Six. Six. Six. Yes. Yes.
Jake K: Is that French onion soup? I thought it had cheese on top.
Maria: Well, I think if it's fancy it does...
Jake K: -condescendingly- Oh, of course, this is just takeout.
Kathryn: What are you reading that says you're shadowing a bus? ...You're reading the header that says Sunday rendezvous; is there anything in the actual box?
Rick: So for future reference, this is supposed to be an ice bucket. For cold drinks. Rather than a really small trash can. Just saying.
Caroline: What's the name of the campground we use in the Catskills?
Rick: Yoooou're kidding, right?
Caroline: Not for the expected reason!
Maria: Wait, this place has a chili cook-out tonight!
Jake K: MY place has a pirate ship playground!
Caroline: OMG DONE.
Maria: MY place has a bouncy fun slide!
Caroline: Oh, you're talking about two leaders, not two liters.
Rick: The system says you're trying to put letters in a number field, I ain't doing it.
Caroline: It's my dinnerware! -holds up two lids labeled CStone-
Rick: It's STONEware!
Erica: Can you grab a piece of pen? A piece of paper?
Jake K: This is Vermont. It's basically Canada.
Caroline: These are my priorities: I hate the outside. I was a Forbes girl. I never go outside.
Jake K: (to a van) Are you guys bored?
Jake K: I'm looking for camping pots for a large group of 10 people - I need a 5-liter pot, a 3-liter pot, and a 9-inch cutting board or something similar. -aside- They're transferring me to Lawn&Garden, I just don't think that's the right department...
Chris C: This is Chris to Command. I mean, OA Command, this is Chris.
Rick: OA is official. We're on someone else's Facebook, that's how you know it's real.
Elan: How are they out of medical tape? We give them so much! Do they have a mummy on the trip?
Kathryn: There you go Erica.
Elan: I'm trying, but without making it sound forced.
Erica: They have spotty wifi - I mean service, spotty service!
Rory: I am... losing functionality as a person.
Elan: Would you like a pepper?

Welcome to Princeton, now go to the woods!
The freshmen are here today!
***
Matt: I am like the next level of tone-deaf; I can't even understand spoken language.
Chris C: Where is W in the alphabet?
Kathryn: After V. Before V!
Delaney: We're Command - logistically inefficient.
Rick: Penguins, attention!
Everyone: NOOO!
Chris C: It's like reverse bouncing - like prison guarding!
EMS cashier: But you're wearing an outdoor shirt!
Erica: We're the indoor part of Outdoor Action...

If only Command were a Support van...
Unfortunately, due to the craziness that is pre-trip and also my personal stress level, quotes have been a little lacking - I'll try to do better once we're in Command Center!
***
Katie: That's not right, like if you can't feel your face, get that checked out!
Jake S: Oh, this smells like men.
Chris Y: This literally tastes like nail polish, there is no other way to describe it.

Erica: Rory, I have Jake on the phone. -to Jake- You're with Chris right?
Jake: Well, I have Chris's phone.
Rory: -to Jake on Chris's phone, on Rei's phone- Jake, talk to Erica.
Erica: Okay, I'm going to hang up.
Rory: Nevermind, talk to me! Jake, talk to me!
Rory: Do you have vegans there looking for food?
Caroline: Vegans! Vegans! We're ready to go!
Sarah: What is the word for a collective of vegans? Like, a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese...
Kathryn: A meet (meat)?
Jake: Well, I have Chris's phone.
Rory: -to Jake on Chris's phone, on Rei's phone- Jake, talk to Erica.
Erica: Okay, I'm going to hang up.

The Blogbook Lives!
Outdoor Action has started up again, and you guys know what that means! The famous Blogbook is back online, to be filled with sleep-deprived quotations from the college students responsible for saving other college students in the wild!
***
Chris C: After you guys left, we did some really irrelevant things.
Rick: They call him the refrigerator. Because he's so chill.

The Fourth and Final Round
It's been a difficult transition already from France back to the bustle and stress of Princeton life... Classes haven't even started yet, but I'm already worrying about labwork, thesis, grades, GRE, applications... Looked at my admission records - mixed feelings about those...
It's going to be a rough year.
But it'll be good too. Lots of discovery, and a last year to enjoy college before becoming slightly more of an adult. I've been so blessed to be here, I don't want to lose sight of that amidst the work involved.
