[i live 4 lax]

what am i goign to do for twelve hours?? :whyme:

[fenwicklax89]

bring some coloring books

[dta06]

You think a 12 hour drive is bad. Try a 3 day bus ride from ny to texas. Listen to music and read a book

[cali feeder]

Bring an Ipod. Talk to some friends. Bring your girlfriend. Bring a portable DVD player and watch Boondock Saints 5 times.

[Falconsmikevick]

bring some coloring books
They work miracles.

[tragically fish]

listen to music
read
watch a dvd on a port. dvd player

[mylax33142]

make sure u take a dookie before u leave.

bring some colouring books

[The Doors]

sleep....i did a 14hr one from Northern Illinois to dallas once, and im telling you, sleep is the best way to pass the time...also bring a pillow and an ipod

[turtle lover 32]

i agree with the coloring book they are amazing or bring a rubik's cube "unless u have a bad temper it could lead to problems" unless your like me and have actually looked for videos to find a solution to it and believe it or not it worked!!!!

[deadweight]

Bring some light freeweights to see which one of you and your friends can do the most non-stop. Bring a few gripmasters/ grip workers. Playing cards, magazines, tissues... you know the drill...

[i live 4 lax]

keep em comin guys im liking the ideas so far

[Longpole5435]

Benadryl...

Something to chew on or suck on. Jolly ranchers, jerky, gum.

Or if you're over 18, dip.

[matt25]

Benadryl works wonders for making you sleep take some of that.....




-Matt

[laolax]

a female always works. i drove from vt to DC and it was like 8 hours for a class trip. luckily i had a lady friend =]

[exile lacrosse]

sleep, watch a movie if you have a portable dvd player, listen to music, talk with friends, or just totally space out

[laxmiddie8]

When i take a 20 hour trip from here to florida i usually just listen to music, watch a dvd on a portable dvd player and eat. Also, if you have any homework, that could be a good time to do it.

[Sethlax17]

have fun with the other people on the bus

[MDUBlax]

cancel that bus ride and buy a plane ticket.

[brikk9]

Start a cult.

[goalie33fan]

[Storm21]

[Longpole5435]

It takes a while to assemble the entire 57 person population of Canada. There is just so much darn space...

[fenwicklax89]

Start a cult.

you could also have a debate. or make a congo line

[sidewinder19]

yeah but our bus drivers were on something(not really) and sucked at driving and took stupid ways and yeah haha it was brutal

[FitzGoalie]

man, i do love long bus rides...some tried and true activities include:

sleeping

waiting for others to fall asleep and writing on their faces.

gambling for candy, money, people's clothes, people's souls.

buying posters to decorate the back of the bus.

starting whole-bus throwing-things wars

mooning motorists

( i don't condone doing this, but my friend did it and it was honestly one of the funniest things ive ever seen): urinating in a bottle and rolling it under the seats and seeing who finds it.

trying to fit in luggage racks.

bringing miniature musical instruments and jamming

screaming obcenities from the back of the bus, but with your voice disguised so chaperones can't figure it out.

prank calling french bakeries

books

Oh, hush, I'm all Canadian on my mom's side.

If you love something, let it free...

[Pitibear]

...try a 3 day bus ride from ny to texas...
Yeah, over the past year, the tourney sched has been:
740 miles (13 hours) to Ft. Collins, CO
720 Miles (11 hours) to Las Vegas, NV
2130 miles (44 hours, driven straight) to Shelton Connecticut; and of course, each of these listings is only one way, so multiply by two...

Maybe it's 'cause I'm old, but I actually like the long drives...they give me unlimited time to think reflectively on life, etc...I now find them relaxing.

This year will be Florida and Las Vegas again, unless they move the event to California or something...

Take a few books, so if you get bored with one, you can go to another..or take some time to think reflectively about life, eh?

So the other stuff you do condone? Sheeesh! Yeah, they're funny, buy hey, dude, it appears that you can only get your kicks with things that hurt, discomfort, or demean other people...what is that, eh?

...bringing miniature musical instruments and jamming

That, however, is way cool...

[FitzGoalie]

i guess i'm just a hollow, hollow shell of a person...

nah...i mean, drawing on peoples faces is kind of mean i guess, but it's usually only in retaliation. and the prank call is just a tradition that goes back to middle school; by now we know the bakery staff well, and they know us and realize it's all good fun. but i'd say the rest of it is just good ol' teenage boy fun. i usually spend most of my time reading on bus rides, those are just some highlights from my tripping days. i'll chalk it up to that combination of excitement, sleep deprivation, sugar and caffeine that normally accompanies long bus trips.

and yes, mini-jams are awesome. but apparently ukulele and kazzoo harmonies eventually grate on chaperone's nerves.

[shoebag2000]

Prank call your parents saying you've been in a horrible accident.
Prank call basically everybody you know.
Bring mini speakers for your iPod so you can jam in the back of the bus with people.
Get in slap fights.
Write a goofy story about your friends where bad stuff happens to them.
Bring saran wrap to trap somebody in their chair.

[malax31]

where are you going/who are you playing? the farthest teams that we play are in wilkes-barre and down in philly, no more than 2 hours on a bus.

[benjamming18]

Get some mini lacrosse sticks and go at it.

[Lax n piemonade]

Drink a bottle of nyquil before you go..
Edit: Don't actually drink an entire bottle of nyquil

[Midman03]

i did a 14h drive once and i brought my PSP,ipod,beef jerky, like 10 monsters energy drinks, movies for psp, game, also sleep, talk and look around while your driving at teh stupid people around you. THat last one could last a while. Its so funny.

[laerdude04]

Just chill with your friends, sleep, and be glad it wasnt a 40hr bus ride I had to take last summer.

[pole15]

Madlibs...

[Spartan]

bring a laptop and lots of computer games, ipod, stuff like that to keep ya busy

[italianstalion]

well my longest was like 6 hours, Gretzky on PSP works very well, other than that just wait for someone to fall asleep and mess with them. Ofcourse ipods work well too. Or you can play this drawing game where like you fold a piece of paper in half and one person draws the top half of a person/monster/creature and they turn it over and draw tiny lines for references and then the other person draws the bottom half. Memory games work good as well.

[Ipod 777]

Just got back from a 3 hour ride to gainsville to play two teams. (Lost first in double OT and won the second in a blow out.) Whatever you do don't stand up or do crazy stuff early because you'll get car sick and the rest of the ride will be misserable!!

[laxmiddie11]

Listen to music
Watch DVD's
Sleep(Only if you know no one will write on your face)
Call the numbers on billboards

[TallLax]

Whatever you do don't stand up or do crazy stuff early because you'll get car sick and the rest of the ride will be misserable!!
You must have weak stomachs...in wrestling, on the way home we would have the heavyweight vs. the rest of the team fights in the back of the bus. Our coach was so chill, he would just laugh at us. We would be more tired from doing that than actually wrestling

[mrguyname]

i went on a band trip last year from new jersey to florida. I forgot if it was 12 hours but I watched movies, listened to music, ate, slept, and talked to friends

[murderlax]

listen to music
have a lady friend come along(they're always fun)
portable dvd player(bring lax dvds too so you guys can study the pros)
coloring books(lawl)
prank call your coach(block your number first)

or do what i do and if you have unlimited texting and a special someone, text your fingers out.

[OutlawLax085]

i pod. fill up with songs b4 leave and charger for when u get there

[malax31]

yeah, monster drinks and sleep-what a combo

[livinglegend]

a few years ago we had a 48 hour bus ride to nationals.... so you will live through it

you live in moose jaw saskachewan.. i dont think anywhere natinals have been would be 48 hours away. was it to victoria? because that was last year and then theyve been close to you everyother year. the only place i could see being 48 hours away would be up nunavit or something and they dont have nationals there.

oh ya buss rides though

wait till your team mates sleep then mess with them. tooth paste and shaving cream can really make stuff funny.

[smalbikpro]

Madlibs...

mad libs pwn. and yes drinking a full bottle of nyquil is a no-no. you'll wake up 3 days later very confused. :dummy:

[gigo567]

start with 100000 cans of beer on the wall and go to 0
Or you and the team could drink 100000 cans of beer and go to 0 :idea:
I'm just joking, pretty obvious

[fallingupstairs]

madlibs
make ur own madlibs
end every sentence with in bed

[jmilf]

That would be nice to have a portable DVD, we just went from IN to SC for spring break and it was a 14-hour long *** haul, I would bring like Prison Break season 1 and watch all of that.

[Pschwaegs]

bus ride? START A BADA$$ DANCE PARTAY!!!!!!! boombox, ipods are for loners. If you dont already own it, buy a gameboy and pokemon. Bring a bagfull of legos. bring a straw and a huge amount of paper for spitballs (endless entertainment).

[Dewdrop]

^^^POKEMON = WIN
Books, ipods, sleep = deadly 3

[TeQ NeeK]

bring some brownies and enjoy your self.

[rynolax]

Bring a laptop and go to the website where you started this thread. :idea: Or like people said, string, lots of beef jerky, and all your stuff that you ever bought from jimalax and make sick customs.

[WIlax]

Pop your ipod in your ears and string like 12 sticks...

[DutchyLacrosse]

This guy is a genius!

OR: You could use some toothpaste and chew it till it foams so you can scare your sleeping teammates with a rabies attack!

[Pschwaegs]

im going to disagree with the whole stringing thing. 12 hours of stringing would make me hate lacrosse.

[Blackhawk1]

Psh, i had to take an 8hr drive WITH MY FAMILY to a resort that HAD MY FAMILY housed NEARBY.

Or my 20 MINUTES!!! of driving to school each day.

[ptlax24]

There is only one thing you can do that will last a whole 12 hours

Pokemon Yellow/Blue/Red

[Lax'N'Roll]

Bring a can of dip, and people who have never done it will try, and put too much in and then get sick.A kid on my team tried it, and drank a gatorade while he was dipping, and swallowed a ton of dip, he came out and was literally green.

Our coaches fell asleep and we drew on their faces hilarious at the time, but that next practice was not a fun one.

[Lacrosse4life31]

ami the only one who has thought of bringing cards???

well bring some cards, you can play games with other kids.

[olentangylax22]

[James]
