...I don't care WHAT you say---I'm gonna be a CHEERLEADER when I grow up!...hahahahahahaahha!....key word here is "grow up"......

Welcome to
Camp RUN-A-MUK!

 

Camp Run-A-Muk THEME SONG!
Where the Plan Of the Day is: Mirth...Merriment...and FUN!
Kick back! Relax! Tell a joke or two! Have a brew !

The BAR is OPEN!  We've got Eye candy...Mind candy...and 
Chicken soup for the soul!

Today, we're going to take a CLOSE look at
CHEERLEADERS!

Just as any anything else, cheerleading has quite a history behind it. In ancient times spectators cheered for runners in races held during the first ever Olympic Games in ancient Greece. In the 1860's students in Great Britain began cheering at competitive sporting events and soon the idea spread to the United States. At Princeton in New Jersey, in 1865 the first pep club was formed and they created the first-known cheer:

"Tah rah rah
Tiger Tiger Tiger
Sis sis sis
Boom boom boom
Aaaahhhhh!
Princeton! Princeton! Princeton!"

The history of organized cheerleading started in 1898. The University of Minnesota was having a pitiful football season. One fan decided to write a letter to the Ariel, "The Official Paper of The University of Minnesota," and complain. He wrote "Everyone's been crying, 'Keep up your spirits, and we will have a winning team bye and bye.' I say give us a winning team and our spirits will take care of themselves." 

Everyone agreed that something had to be done and soon a meeting was called of all University of Minnesota students and faculty before the game with Madison Wisconsin. One of the University's professors presented a brilliant scientific thesis on fan support. He stated that the collective stimuli of several hundred students focused on sending positive energy in the team's direction would help the team win. The professor concluded with a rousing cry: "Go to Madison! Go to Madison! Apply the summation of stimuli!" 

The game came and went, and the Gophers got killed 28-0. The cheer didn't work. It just didn't roll off of the tongue the right way. Something different had to be done to get the Gopher fans riled up. This is where Jack Campbell, a then first-year medical student, stepped in and he became the first ever cheerleader. Someone needs to lead the yells with organized cheering, he explained. And there needed to be variety, not just "He's all right" and "They're all right." So, the next game, Campbell led the crowd in a cheer that marked history:

"Rah Rah Rah!
Ski-U-Mah Hoo-Rah
Hoo-Rah!
Varsity!  Varsity!
Minn-e-so-tah!"

Thus, cheerleading in the United States was born.

Cheerleading, believe it or not, was dominated by men in its early years. However, when large numbers of young men went off to fight in World War II, the tables turned. More than 90 percent of cheerleaders were female from that point on.

We've got JUNIOR CHEERLEADERS

We've got COLLEGE CHEERLEADERS



We've got PROFESSIONAL CHEERLEADERS


And We've got, umm, well, you decide what "CHEERLEADERS"


Okay, Canteen Crew!

Let's ALL get out there & shake your Pom-Poms in support of OUR TROOPS!

Do YOU have any "SPECIAL" Cheerleaders????

Material posted was found freely on the Internet & is not intended to offend!

No CHEERLEADERS were mishandled, either.....many had nice tweeties & GAZONGAS.......
alto my "voices" tried.....somethin' about "HANDS ON" experience.....  got slapped a few times   ....plus a black eye..............arm is broke, two places....some type of groin injury........nose won't stop bleedin'....

FYI: Many of the Professional Cheerleaders are part of the USO Tour, & go out, visit, and entertain OUR troops!

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

Grandpa Knows BEST!

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall.

He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa".

The cop asked, "What's he like?"

The little boy replied, "Jack Daniels and women with big hooters."

Hurting And Hearing

Read:
Exodus 6:1-9

I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry. -Exodus 3:7

Bible In One Year: Psalm 34-36

cover When we are experiencing deep sorrow or difficult circumstances, we may feel offended if someone suggests that something good can emerge from our adversity. A well-meaning person who tries to encourage us to trust God's promises may be perceived as insensitive or even unrealistic.

That happened to the children of Israel when God was working for their deliverance from Egypt. As Pharaoh hardened his heart toward the Lord's command to let His people go, he increased the Hebrew slaves' workload by forcing them to gather the straw they needed to make bricks (Exodus 5:10-11). They became so discouraged, they couldn't accept Moses' assurance that God had heard their cries and promised to take them to a land of their own (6:9).

There are times when our hurts and fears can close our ears to the hopeful words of God. But the Lord doesn't stop speaking to us when it's hard for us to hear. He continues working on our behalf just as He did in delivering His people from Egypt.

As we experience God's compassion and His loving care, we can begin to hear again even as the hurt continues to heal. -David McCasland

O yes, He cares-I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares. -Graeff

Even when we don't sense God's presence, His loving care is all around us.
