RainbowGhettoFabulous Day

Throughout 2003 and 2004, session 2, at the CTY site in Bristol, RI (at Roger Williams University) a phenomenal holiday entitled RainbowGhettoFabulous Day has taken place. This holiday was first created by Ally. Methods for celebration include mostly wearing extremely colorful clothing, possibly including coloring your hair with rainbow markers, along with occasionally shouting "I love you!" to another random CTY-er (or non-CTY-er, if you really want to confuse people), giving hugs, wishing people a Happy RainbowGhettoFabulous Day and smiling. Its purpose is to spread joy and love to everyone (has nothing to do with gay pride). Eventually, the holiday became such a large part of this site, this session that at the end, when the RAs performed their goodbye performance of "You know you've been at CTY Bristol too long when...," two of the RAs, Jill and Brandon, finished the sentence with "you understand--and celebrate--RainbowGhettoFabulous Day." They were, of course, decked out in colorful clothing, necklaces etc. The holiday now occurs whenever Ally and her friends decide that they need one.

Edit:
Hello, My name is Ally and I am the founder of rainbowghettofabulous day. Rainbowghettofabulous day was created when in 2001, I witnessed a rainbow. That session was the session of wannabe gangsters, so it was appropriate to yell "hollER" to everyone you met. When I witnessed the rainbow I had achieved an enlightment: Rainbowghettofabulous. This holiday is intended to spread love happiness and joy.Feel it! and don't forget to rock some rainbow toe socks<3

edit: the whole bristol site is full of wannabe gangsters. its sortof a thing theyve got going there.

edit: rainbowghettofabulous day has not been celebrated for quite some time, though there are plans to attempt to bring it back during the 2009.1 session.

• 10.2:
  • Unknown to most of the campers, four kids in Jay Ben's hall counterfeited CAAsino Night money in order to win. They counterfeited $1200 worth of CAAsino Night money and ended up with $1600 in total. By being the hall with the most money, they won an extra sleepover.
  • After the Casino night, two RAs got nicknamed due to noodle fight: Jessica "Mount Crushmore" and Matt "Manderson"
  • Mucha Ropa is a tradition first started by CTYers in 10.2 who were in Nick and Joe T.'s hall. Mucha Ropa means "Many Clothes" or "Too many clothes" in Spanish. By saying this, you are technically instructing people to take off their clothes becuase they have too many. It was also known as Nick and Joe T.'s hall call. It quickly spread through the campus as even girls and RAs were saying it.
    • Pronounced: "Mucha Rooooooooopa" and repeat
  • Jay Ben was known as "the Squirrel"
  • This site is mostly invaded by Arizonians from San Luis, AZ (border town) every year, both sessions, there must be at least one CTYer from AZ. They are the most noticeable CAAmpers in the site because they are loud and so happy. They are very social, and they know how to dance! (**13.1 during social time, they were teaching how to dance "Banda, and Merengue". Lots of people joined, others just saw and cheered.) Very social, but majority of the time they WILL be speaking in Spanish due to their background and language spoken at home.
  • Los Angeles also sends lots of CTYers to Bristol! They are the craziest, the best, most sociable people ever! So easy to talk to, and they are hilarious!
• 13.1
  • CAMERON the RA was the beeeeest!
• 13.2:
  • A shower in Stonewall 2 turned purple when a camper died her hair. The normal white color of the shower was never restored.
  • When a ratchet baby seagull fell off of The Commons, everyone wanted to see the little baby gray fluff ball until RA Myles got dive bombed by eight of the baby seagull's fellow bird friends. No one was allowed to go near the bird after that.
  • Never Have I Ever was banned after SRA Molly decided that the content discussed during this game was much too mature for the CTY students.
• 14.1:
  • International Students
    • Hong Kong (Adish)
    • Belgium & Poland (Kenji)
    • Beijing (Helen)
    • France (Paul)
  • The site was way different than last year because the RAs were super strict and there was barely any freedom. Also, the site overpopulated and it was impossible to find a seat in the cafeteria.
  • Dances
    • The first dance was held in Global Heritage Hall, but the lights were on the entire time and most people stood on the balcony and watched
    • The second and third dances were held in the gym and they were fun.
  • CTY Cliques
    • The Hackey Sack
    • The Crew
    • The Twerk Crew
    • The Arizonians
  • During Passionfruit the RAs ripped us off and gave us cranberry juice instead of passionfruit juice.
  • Can I get a hooiyah??? (Alicia)
• 14.2
  • Dances
    • Foosball was a popular alternative to the dances during 14.2. While everyone was forced to go to the dances, many people chose to stay outside of the gym itself and play foosball and socialize without being surrounded by a giant orgy of sweaty people jumping up and down in the dark to bad music.
    • Themes
      • Hawaiian
        • RA Kristen DJed
      • Candy Land
        • RA Josh disc jockeyed the second dance and nearly blew out the speakers. The music was so bad that people left the gym and refused to go back. Except for the candy. The candy was the only reason to go back into the gym.
        • During Candy Land, Pixy Stix were given out. The majority of the people outside of the gym called these drugs. The Pixy powder was everywhere. Blue was the most popular by far. People would open the Pixy Stix out by the foosball table and makes lines with them on the pool table and snort them like cocaine. The following week, the powder remained.
      • Winter Wonderland
        • No one knows who DJed this one. Maybe it was RA Shaunna. But no one knows for sure.
        • "Pixy Dicks"
  • Foursquare
    • Soccer Foursquare got so popular that at one point during quad time there was no hand Foursquare game going on.
    • Invisible Foursquare happened.
    • Many people new to CTY (Moriah) were unfamiliar with the proper rules of Foursquare.
  • CAAsino Night
    • Initially, RA Cam's Hall was thought to be the winner of CAAsino Night. However, later developments suggest that a different boys' hall was crowned the winner. A video of RA Cam being pied (the winner's prize) is posten on Instagram somewhere.
      • The winning hall then proceeded to pie Cam in the face, as their prize.
    • Haslee's hall stole thousands of dollars from the Bank, so they got disqualified. They then had an opportunity to be re-qualified, which required them to publicly confess to their crimes and give back all money taken from the Bank AND their own rightfully earned money. It was later announced that all disqualifications were void.
    • Josh's hall had a similar experience to Haslee's. They robbed the Bank and were disqualified, so they began giving away money because it didn't matter anymore. But then the staff vetoed all disqualifications.
    • Girls resorted to prostitution, trading hugs for money.
    • Those in jail paid others to bail them out.
  • The Hunger Games
    • During the last week of the session, the weekly activity Hunger Games was popular. Each tribute was given five (5) lives and assorted tools -- like weapons, skills and survival tools. Each weapon required the person attacked to give up a specified amount of lives. The Gamemakers would change certain elements of the games, like the weather. Some people tried to bargain their way out of dying completely, saying, "Here, you can have one of my lives and my sleeping bag. The Gamemakers said they were really rare."
    • CTYer Miguel was vicious and broke all alliances with others. To the sponsors' happiness, Miguel did not come out as victor; Kevin with the clear plastic glasses did. This was due to the fact that all those allied with Kevin and his friends gave their remaining lives to him right before the game ended. No sponsor gave Miguel anything because he killed everyone and took the game way too seriously.
      • I think we have to give him some credit for being his awesome self, though.
    • Many alliances were formed. To name some:
      • The Latino Alliance
      • The Brown People Alliance
      • The Asian Alliance
      • The Erick Alliance
      • THE Alliance
    • Most participants were a part of at least one of these alliances.
  • Trivia Day
    • RA Trivia
    • Song Trivia
    • Free throws
    • CTY Rap creation
    • Passing ping-pong ball from one end of a line of hallmates to other and back
    • Silent organization or hallmates following certain criteria
    • CTY-themed Pictionary
  • CTYers
    • CTYer Miguel caused a fire drill when he burned popcorn in the microwave so bad that it set off the alarm. All four Stonewalls were forced to evacuate.
    • CTYer Dakota had beanies that an estimated 90% of the student body wore at some point during the session.
    • CTYer Sneha Kannan had a lovely trip to the emergency room after she (accidentally) stabbed herself in the hand with a brand new scalpel during a cow eye dissection (ANPY).
      • Everyone in her class came to the conclusion that their instructor Bernard put new blades on the scalpels for a reason: he hated us all.
      • Later in the session, that same CTYer ran down the stairs, fell on her back, and was unable to walk properly for a week. Great measures were taken as Brian the SRA had to drive her from the Quad to the nurse in a golf cart.
    • CTYer Trevor was quite popular among the other CTYers. He used the classiest pickup lines such as "It's hot here now that you came" followed by "I'm smooth". He had quite an expansive vocabulary for offending people of different genders and hair colors. All of his verbal offenses were reluctantly forgiven on the last night of the session. He was one of the most irritating people to play Foursquare with. And if not one of the most, he was the most. Many knew of his rivalry with CTYer Katie G after he seriously offended her one day in the Foursquare line during quad time. They were bitter towards each other until the last night when she involuntarily forgave him and they hugged it out.
    • CTYer "LeBron" was apparently "never intimidated" by CTYer Katie G.
      • LeBron said to Katie one day, "You don't intimidate me."
      • LeBron said to Katie on the last night, "You didn't intimidate me," and he hugged Katie.
    • CTYer Samantha was nicknamed Babyface within the first week of the session. The name stuck, eventually resulting in her being embarrassed in front of the entire student body by her RA at CAAsino Night.
    • There was one 12-year-old blonde girl.
      • She a hoe.
    • One girl in Stonewall III was voluntarily tied up with tape and put into a closet with a bucket over her head while other girls videotaped and took pictures.
      • The videos and pictures were later published online.
    • CTYer Katie G was feared by many. She was known as "that girl" in Foursquare. She made many alliances, but unintentionally failed to comply with the standard alliance rules on occasion.
      • "Her. Get That Girl out. She'll betray you."
    • CTYer Moriah was known to always ask for a redo every round she played Foursquare in every version (regular, soccer, eight square, eight triangle etc.)
      • Moriah: * playing Foursquare and gets out * "Can I have a redo, just one redo please"
      • Rest of CTYers playing Foursquare and in line fore Foursquare: "No way" "Get out" "There are no redos"
    • CTYer Moriah was also known for walking down the Foursquare line looking to find someone she could cut in line with.
    • CTYer Moriah was famous for arguing with the CTY alumnae and alumni over the official rules of Foursquare. She believed that she could set the rules herself even if she wasn't actually playing the game at the time.
  • Haslee’s Girls
    • Haslee's Girls gave boys in Josh's Hall the "insecurity talk".
    • Haslee's girls were constantly caught stealing Train Station, her stuffed animal, from her bedroom. At one point, Katie G took Train Station and kept him/her in one of her empty drawers in her bedroom for a whole night. Train Station mysteriously reappeared the next morning at Haslee's door.
    • "Draw me like one of your French girls."- A girl from Haslee's hall, who wishes to remain anonymous.
    • RIP Shelby Fusua Grotskan. You were the prettiest fetal pig dissected.
  • Josh's boys
    • Josh's boys downloaded a fart app. Number 19 on the app was known as the Peking Duck. To many people's disgust, the boys played with this app in the bathroom, outside Josh's bedroom and throughout campus when walking from place to place.
    • Three of Josh's boys took videos of moaning in the pitch black of their bedroom to simulate masturbation and/or sexual intercourse.
      • They later sent these videos to many people.
  • Baby CTY
    • Baby CTY's Inductive and Deductive Reasoning class performed an American Pie parody at the last all-site meeting, which offended all of the OS student body. They held up signs for each word in their parody, with an extra "Inde" at the end, which confused everyone.
      • "Pi, pi mathematical pi, 3-point-1-4-1-5-9" INDE.
      • Direct quote from CTYer: "This has officially ruined American Pie for me."
    • Baby CTY's Examining the Evidence class scarred the entire site with their "Pubis, don't touch this" song and dance about the bones in the human body.
  • Site Director quotes
    • Pink monkeys or brown monkeys?
    • Site Director: I say 'CT', you say 'Y'. CT
    • CTYers: WHY
    • Baby CTYers: Y!!!!
  • When water day was cancelled due to rain, many CTYers went to the alternate activity Board Games. There, some played Apples to Apples. There was a lengthy debate about whether Detroit or the NRA was scarier.
    • "But Detroit is scary because of the NRA."
    • Detroit won that round.
  • ANPY boys bonded over their not being circumcised, subsequently scarring the other girls and college tours that witnessed this interaction.
    • Unfortunately, these two boys were sitting on either side of a girl. So in class when the instructor was talking about circumcision, one of the boys said, "Haha, not me!" and the other said "Me either!" and they fist bumped. The girl sitting in between them was mortified, as were all other girls that were present during this time.
  • Two students in Anatomy were sent into timeout when they were caught throwing out gum wrappers during class.
    • Bernard (instructor): What are you doing?
    • Students: Throwing out gum wrappers.
    • Bernard: It didn't look like that. Go to the hall.
    • They were out in the hall for about 45 minutes.
    • And they were probably making out the entire time. (Theory from the rest of the class)
  • Muscles were used as insults. All of these completely confused all who were spoken to this way.
    • "You, gastrocnemius!"
    • "Why do you have to be such a sternocleidomastoid?"
  • The pronunciation of "vitamins" was debated among the ANPY class.
    • Vytamins or vitamins? No one knows.
      • Student: "Who says vitamins like 'vitamins'?"
      • Instructor: "British people."
  • Twerking lessons were given and filmed.
    • And they were then sent to the twerking teacher's CTY boyfriend's hallmate, Sean.
  • There was some sort of bizarre, peanutty smell in MNS one day so ANPY had to learn the reproductive system outside while college tours were going on. The computer programming instructor JD participated in this class, asking questions and following along with the instructor while he ignored his own programming students.
    • JD raised his hand and discussed his concerns about prostate cancer with the class.
  • Over $150 in pizza was ordered from one boys' hall alone. All in one night.
  • People wore cardboard and duct tape outfits for the rest of the day following their daily activity Trashon, (pronounced "Trashin", like fashion).
  • Social time was taken away for a night after the dining hall was left a mess.
  • Social time was taken away from Haslee's girls after their common area was left a mess. This did not stop the girls from finding a way of communicating with the outside world. They managed to open a window and talk to people outside from the third floor. RA Kristen (the CO-RA for Haslee's floor) went outside and found them looking out the window. The girls got into trouble with RA Kristen, the other RA on their floor, that night.
  • Some serious Duke TIP dissing happened.
    • "Duke TIP is so stupid. Like, I may have qualified for it, but that's so stupid!"
    • CTYers are still upset that the American Pie tradition began with Duke TIP. (amen to that. it's true. i have a friend who is a TiPster)
  • The time outside and in front of Stonewall II after the last dance was very emotional.

  • Every team CTYer Can Tunceli supported lost, whether it was Italy losing to Portugal in PKs or the Sixers losing to the Lakers on a D'Angelo Russell buzzer beater three
  • Tommy's hall managed to never have normal lights out until the start of the last week of session, due to the natural characteristics of troublemaking from his 17 sons

    • Cheeky Shadow's infamous Cheeky Drop Shot was unstoppable
  • NUUUUUUUUDES
  • CTYers Andrew Dawson and Justin Quezada went up and down the Lubnavator at least 10 times in the middle of class before anyone noticed
    • They were finally noticed by a man who worked at Roger Williams who was going up the elevator. It was a very awkward moment

  • BODY ON THE LINE
    • In the first week, CAAmpers Eric Ma and Joshua Johnson had an inside joke that when somebody laid out to catch a ball or a frisbee, they would yell "body on the line!" and laugh. Soon, a few more people caught onto it.
    • Body on the Line was a game that originated in the final week of the session. Fausto Alvarez, Greg Gomez, and Eric Ma were watching the circle of volleyball players keep the ball up. One boy laid out for the ball and the three of them yelled "body on the line!". When the next ball came, Greg could have easily gotten it with a volley, but instead, dramatically jumped and landed flat on the ground while hitting the ball and screaming the catch phrase with Fausto and Eric. Pretty soon, there were over 20 people that took up at least a quarter of the quad after every meal playing this game, except unnecessarily falling down each time they hit the ball and grunting something about putting their body on the line.
  • CAAmper Kathryn White was infamously known for her perpetual selfies.
