Today, the International Kayak Consortium celebrates Camping (a Microframework)’s 1st birthday. They have honored the paragraph of code by awarding it the Annual First Place in Birthdaying Special Day Award and So Brave.

The commissioner of kayaking LeBrock Mitchell gave an acceptance speech on behalf of Camping at this morning’s banquet. His sentiments were brief, but stirring:

I have written two speeches for today, a long one and a short one. However, the pages for both got wet inside my kayak. Yes, I tried blow-drying them. But as I held that that cylinder of hot air, I realize that I couldn’t say anything as brief as Camping itself.

And he held up a printout of Camping from trunk and he wept exactly 4k of tears. We, in fact, measured with a graduated cylinder.

Here is Camping today.

2. Tiffany Rabbitsapple
3. (a non-notable prince)
4. why the lucky stiff
5. Spud Webb (the same)
6. Indian Chief Skittles McQueeny

10. Camera Nap
11. Helps the Janitor (holding a soccer ball under his poncho)

Update from Air Force Staff Sargeant Guds Mandragon:

We try to keep a lid on it, but some pilot folklore has infiltrated our ranks. The tale goes that if you eject from your plane on Camping’s birthday that you will be visited in the night by a red fairy who will grant you a free batch of caramel apples, answering to any quantity you provide. In some permutations of the rumor, she grants an infinite quantity. Four aircraft have been ditched, two have struck earth, one crushing a cereal factory. I am told Grape Nuts. Please dispell this rumor forthrighly.

Hmm, interesing stuff. Thanks, Guds!
