Impact 2004 This Mystery

2004: Mystery- I guess if I had to rank my personal favorites Mystery would be top five. It was a great year and the skits were fun. I realize I talk a lot about the skits and Morning Impact, but that’s my gig. We had loads of fun and did a lot of weird stunts. I also really got to know Patrick Chapel and Aubrey Wood that year, two guys who will eventually in my opinion be very involved with Impact for years to come. This year for good or bad will probably be remembered best for some "drama" involving one of the groups who thought many of us including the speakers, entertainment, and Morning Impact pushed the envelope too far. I probably should not write too much about it since it's been years now, and hopefully forgotten, but I will say it certainly changed the way I look at some of the things we do. Upon some wise council from Impact "dad" Howard Todd, I know when to say I believe in something I am doing. I don't always have to bow to the whims of others. I loved just about everything about this year, but I simply cannot remember too many things about it. This was the first year our Crittenden Drive group had a large number of campers so I was pumped about that. Although not my favorite shirt, it was really cool we had like eight different colors, pink was all the rage that year for boys and girls, and our "safty green" shirts could be seen for miles. Campers were trading colors all week. The stage set that year was fantastic maybe the best, and everything was set in a "Clue" theme. We had all the Clue characters along with Skid as Sherlock Holmes, Jon as Watson, Rubes played Mrs. Peacock/ Mr. Body, Courtney Browning was Mrs. Scarlet, Haley Todd was Miss White, I forget the name of the college guy who played Pro. Plum (sorry), I was Col. Mustard my favorite role yet, Frank Harris was Mr. Green and even the roadies got in the act as the Scooby Doo gang. A funny story that has gone untold publicly is that at the climax of the skit Rubio's character Mr. Body/ Mrs. Peacock was to reveal a book from his library and read the passage about "In my house their are many rooms (paraphrase)" but he did not grab the bible he was supposed to in order to read it. He grabbed a Korean Bible with Korean writing. The reaction of Skid was priceless as he realized things had gone terribly wrong. Luckily Rubio knew the passage well enough to say it without reading it thus saving the last line of skit.
