What is a VH CAMP?

[Mean_Street]

I just don't know what it is... is it another word for band?

[Brett]

Didn't we go through this before??

VH Camp refers to people who are associated with the band, people that are "in the know" so to speak.

[jdogg5150]

Yeah it's like everyone involved with the band like PR staff, management, band members, etc. Basically anyone that would have reliable first hand info.

They should put out posters with tons of beautiful women, with the slogan, "Come and Pitch a Tent at Camp Van Halen!!!"

[Mean_Street]

The guy below your username is the mascot of the Western Exterminator Company, here in LA. Van Halen used the mascot as a symbol on their "1984" tour.

The actual image is this:

VH Camp is bad or ludicrous humor relating to the current VH SITUATION.

e.g. 12-12-12 5-3=2 BAD humor, NOT funny.
VH SITUATION......??????

Ludicrous, to say the least.

Now Psycho, you're just gonna confuse her with that!

However, I got it and an incredibly distorted vision of a Van Halen vaudeville comedy troup just went through my mind...

"Ladies and gentlemen! May I direct your attention to the center stage for the man whose musical accolades include once being "the King of 10 fingers and 6 strings"...a man who when it's said he "had his hip replaced" it means physically and literally...someone who can't see past the end of his nose (thank you Mary Poppins ) and a man who is relearning the fine art of "modern day communication"...Mr. Edward Van Halen!!"

(bawdy trombone, tambourine and bass drum ensemble begin the coronation as Ed stumbles out on stage wearing a clown suit and an authentic Tiny Tim ukelele strapped across his shoulder. A row of fat girls begin a rather lewd and mistimed burlesque kick routine as one of their shoes flies off and nails Mike in the head, causing him to fall from his perch as a spotlight coordinator.)

(Dave Roth leaps up onstage to grab the mic away from the outstretched hands of a falling EVH.)

DLR: "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Awww man, that's right...we were the mighty Van Halen at one time, but considering our gravy train has already come and gone, you'll pardon us if we sit beside your table and beg for some scraps!"

(rimshot)

(a few audible groans)

DLR: "Thank you very much. Roy, I'm not hearing anything up here. Can I get some volume up heah, I say? CAN YOU HEAR ME OUT THERE??"

(shuffling of dishes...a few muffled coughs...a chair scoots away from a table.)

DLR: "Roy, can I get some godd***ed volume up here?? Yes ladies and gents, we apologize about getting here late today, but we just flew in and MAN!! Are our arms tired or what??"

(rimshot)

(7 or 8 'boos' begin to echo toward the stage...)

DLR: "Hey, don't be booing me pal...I'm gonna f**k your grandma after the routine! Roy, why can't I get some volume here?? Eddie, Eddie(looks around for EVH) They say music soothes the savage soul of the beast. How about you play them a lil' something on your gee-tar and settle them down, huh? (to the crowd) Would you all like to hear Eddie play something?"

(smattering of applause...a few more groans...3 couples get up and head for the door)

DLR: "How 'bout 'My Dog Has Fleas'? You know that one? All together now...

(Eddie tries to tune his ukelele, tightening up his strings, popping one in the process)

'My dog has fleas...'

What? Do you not know this one? Whew. Tough crowd tonight. (cranes neck around in a Rodney Dangerfield manner) Hey, did I ever tell you all about the time when I forgot the words to a song of ours?? (DLR begins to look nervously around the room. One bead of sweat trickles ever so slowly down his brow) It was soo...ahh, uhh...waitaminnit folks. Don't leave yet."

(more people begin to get up)

DLR: "How 'bout the one about the bartender? You all heard that one yet? I walked into a bar the other day with a priest, a rabbi and a Mexican. Bartender looks up at us and says 'what is this? Some kind of joke?' Get it??"

(rimshot)

DLR: "Hit me again, Al!"

(rimshot)

(boos begin to get louder)

DLR: "Hang on everyone. Hey Ed...help me out with this one. I know a man with a wooden leg named 'Smith'."

(Ed responds

EVH: "What's the name of his other leg?"

(rimshot)

(cymbals crash over)

(crowd begins to yell and hiss at extreme levels)

(EVH begins to smash his ukelele out of frustration)

DLR: (near panicked) "Dammit Roy! Get me some fu**in' volume up heah!!"

(Barney from 'the Simpsons' comes marching on stage wearing a bad Krusty the Klown getup)

Barney: "We want Krunchy! We want Krunchy! We want Krunchy!"

**********************

THAT is also considered "Van Halen CAMP"

[jdogg5150]

Big Rimshot and big groan Cabo!

[Daved Mikalex]

Van Halen camp is where Dave, Ed, Al and Mike
sit around a big campfire, toast Marshmellows
and sing "Happy Trails" way past bedtime !

Sometimes Gary and Sammy drop in for a cup of
tea and everyone holds hands, cries,
and expresses their love for each other.
All for their overwhelming and unified love
of Van Halen.

Until recently Warner Brothers supplied the
tents !

But thats ok, Ed has offered to supply the tents
now....

VH camp is where they should send poor, underprivleged white kids who act like P Diddly Doofus and Limp Noodle to learn about real music.
