"Meanwhile, the initiates kept their towels on the whole time and were sworn to secrecy about the true nature of Naked Bible Readings. The newly initiated would then continue to perpetuate the rumor about weird, homoerotic rituals, thus ensuring that future initiates and other dorms are adequately scandalized."

"The next week, my friend revealed to me that I had unwittingly been part of the retreat's hazing ritual. The participants were told to invite their friends and prove 'they were focused on Christ' by never acknowledging their friend's presence."

"As you crawl, you're encouraged to keep going by Shellbacks, with two-foot sections of firehose that were used as paddles to hit you on your butt. Depending on who you were and the people in your clique, the spanking could get very painful. This was a time for vengeance for some. There was a chief on our ship who was universally despised as being a narc and an asshole. Someone brought a very large bottle of patchouli oil and drenched him with it as he crawled along the deck. He hated it. Once you make it to the bow of the ship, you have to face King Neptune’s Court: There was the King, Queen, Doctor, Executioner, and the Royal Baby. If any Shellbacks had an issue with you, they could plead with the King to send you to the Executioner. You had to stand in front of him and take whatever punishment the King called for — mostly just extra hits with a bigger piece of fire hose. Then you had to see the Royal Baby. The Baby was the fattest person on the ship, and wore a diaper and shoes with no shirt. The Shellbacks would mix the nastiest, most vile, foul concoction and mix it into a paste that would be smeared on the Baby's stomach. You would go up to the Baby, and he would grab your head and rub your face all over his nasty, hairy belly. After this, you had to crawl through a 20-foot canvas tube that was just wide enough for a man’s shoulders. It was full of food garbage that had been saved from the ship’s kitchen. You could see half-eaten hamburger patties and scrambled eggs in the mix. While you are in the tube, there is one person in front of you and one behind you also crawling through the tube. You couldn’t go back, and if the guy in front of you stopped, you’re just stuck until they move. Once through the garbage tube, you see the King's Doctor, who'd shoot hot pepper juice into your mouth with a big ear syringe. A quick baptism in a small pool, and you were a Shellback. This ritual may be different from those on other ships. I did go over twice, so the second time I was a Shellback. I did get a nice Shellback certificate and a laminated card. No, it was not something I wanted to do, but being a part of the tribe was important for survival. A ship in the middle of the ocean can be a rough place."
