The gophers met up once again in June of 2005 for more fun in the sun. Our day began at Jeff and Erin's house before shifting to Josh's for swimming. Operation Yoda in a Speedo went into practice, teaching Paul to swim. The proper method of abandoning a sinking ship was also demonstrated. No one got hurt this time!
After swimming we all went out to dinner at The Olive Garden for some tasty Italian gourmet. Dinner conversations ranged from how loud the music in the bathroom was, the strength of a Galaxy class starship, and why the old Batman series isn't on DVD yet. Once dinner was complete we ventured back to Jeff and Erin's, where a lengthy lightsaber duel quickly broke out amongst the majority of us. An episode of Ren & Stimpy basically called it a night. But not for Dan, Paul, and Josh, who returned to the latter's house to watch Dan's Adventures of Pete and Pete DVDs. Two episodes later, we bid each other a good evening. Attending Gophers: Jeff & Erin Osthimer, Josh Gulch, Dan Norton, Paul Arquette, Chris Berry, and Devin Collins. |

Please note the huge florescent martini glass down the road.

Picture Credit: Josh GulchChances are pretty good that Phil was talking to Devin, but nobody really wanted to ask.
The cans are left over from the wedding. Josh drew that recycling symbol on it.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchBerry, Erin, Paul, and Dan were in that vehicle, and didn't remain ahead of us for long.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchIt's not uncommon for someone to look away accidentally when a photo is being taken of them. But to accidentally look away in your own self portrait? What is wrong with you Josh?
Picture Credit: Josh GulchThis is doing it right, but how right can it be?
Picture Credit: Josh GulchThis is where we passed Berry's gang. Though you can't tell in this photo, we're cruising down I-75 at 60 mph.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchNot that this means anything to Berry, who stops paying attention to the road to pay attention to Josh. Erin makes a face, too.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchWe interrupt these thrilling action photos with a shot of Phil's crotch.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchWe met alongside on the offramp. Phil gave Dan a call on his phone.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchErin takes a picture of Josh taking a picture of her taking a picture of him, and on and on like that.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchDan once served as a general in one of Napoleon's campaigns. Austere, that's him all right.
If there's a job to be done, Dan's the man to do it. He's like the A-Team all rolled into one person.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchReturning to the Osthimer's house, things went the way they usually do: with a duel of lightsabers.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchAlways two there are ... a master and an apprentice.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchThe two sides of Mr. Berry -- Jedi and Sith.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchObi-Wan looks on. He is pleased.

Picture Credit: Josh GulchBoth Phil and Devin pick Phil's nose. This sort of thing just happens.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchThis is Paul's hind end, in a photo for the ladies.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchWe wound up going outside to duel on the trampolines. If you hate lightsabers, then the rest of this will probably be pretty boring to you.
Jeff and Devin were the first to go.

Picture Credit: Josh GulchAs far as Jedi go, Dan knows how to make it look good.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchJeff does, too, but he's always a professional.

Picture Credit: Josh GulchPaul and Devin settle personal issues.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchJosh decided to fight everyone, beginning with Jeff.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchThen he fought Phil, ghetto-style
Picture Credit: Josh GulchJosh and Devin fought, too.
Picture Credit: Josh GulchIf this had been a real fight, Devin would be dead about now.
Josh fought those suckers for dang near ten minutes.
