‘Salute Your Shorts’: Where Are They Now?
Jan 22, 2010 at 9:20am
We run, we jump, we swim and play, we row and go on trips. But the thing that lasts forever, are our dear friendships! Such powerful words, which you may remember from the theme song of seminal ’90s Nickelodeon teen camp classic, Salute Your Shorts.
Who could forget a world where ghost-repellent toothpaste is plentiful; where boxers flap triumphantly atop a flagpole; where wedgies are dished out daily by an obese pre-teen that proudly goes by the name of Donkey Lips? Camp Anawanna, we STILL hold you in hearts.
It’s been almost 20 years (!) since the kids of Camp Anawanna packed their bags, but click through the gallery to find out what Donkey Lips, Telly, Bobby Budnick and the rest of the gang are up to these days.
It’s crazy when they grow up and do something else.
If i were in show business as a child..I’d keep with it
i like Paris with brown hair, very nice:)
she’s naturally gorg..but i haven’t seen her in any new movies..
I like your site ok, but this “where are they now” is horrible. You describe one girl as “reportedly Indiana Law School [sic]” and another as “fallen off the face of the Earth.” Duh.
Telly hated the sound of nail clippers. Dina once taunted her by clipping her nails near Telly’s bed.
Telly also hated the idea of ever attending a “Ball” and wearing a fancy dress
Actually, Blake and Winona aren’t together anymore.
Haha, I totally recognize Ronnie Pinsky from Boy Meets World, totally forgot he was in this show.
Oh man, I had such a crush on him. My sister thought I was so gross…
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts and when we think about you, IT MAKES ME WANNA FART!
It’s I hope we never part! Now get it right or pay the price!
Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories.
By the lake of Anawanna, something about pine trees…..
AWFUL WAFFLE! AWFUL WAFFLE!
She’s gorgeous. She was always one of my fave characters.
OH MY GOD!! I LOVED that show when I was a kid. I wish it would come out on DVD! Camp Anawanna! Yay!
I had the biggest crush on that guy. He was so cute!
so in other words, the douchey counselor is the person typing the ‘where are they now’ biographies? am i right?
Did that guy f*cking AGE?
he turned into a cutie
Safe The Whales echo echo echo
He had one gig I can think of. He was ‘Monica’s prom date’ in the one with the Video on Friends, season 2.
there was the storyline where she had horrible glasses and went to contacts.
She’s gorgeous!
” Heidi Lucas reportedly Indiana University School of Law”
The amount of sloppy typos on this website are ridiculous.
She was also their token minority character.
“Where are they now?” No. You didn’t answer that with this one. Consider renaming this article to something more accurate.
When I went to Universal Studios (LA) in 9th grade (so like Dec 1999), he was working at one of the shops outside and my friend and I got really excited and followed him around the store trying to gather the courage to get an autograph. He totally saw us and offered. He couldn’t have been nicer. He looked just like he did on Salute Your Shorts. That was one of my first celebrity autographs. Ahhh memories.
she did go to IU school of law. and she is my friend on facebook. and she is still hot.
telly also wore glasses. that’s about all i remember
lol yess! me and my sister lived for nickelodeon shows back then
lma0! made me g0 awayy t0 camps!
“The amount of sloppy typos on this website are ridiculous.”
The amount of sloppy typos on this website IS ridiculous.
Too bad they don’t make shows like that anymore lol
How freaking funny! When i was clicking on the link i was thinking how funny it would be if it was Salute your shorts!!!
I remember shortly after the end of the show, I saw Donkey Lips working at that scifi store at Universal CityWalk. He was a little uncomfortable when I asked him but otherwise cool.
Same here, I think the store was called From Another Planet? Something like that.
What was that, AMP Energy drink commercial where he was the tow truck drive and hooked up jumper cables to his nipples, drank the drink, then jumpstarted a stranded person’s car?
She hated the sight of blood.
i agree – this article is the worst – it shoulda just been a video clip
would’ve bee cool to see’em in a short love scene with Telly since they hated each other.
she being a priss which Zeke the Plumber exposed. LoL the scariest scene on that episode too.
should’ve had a season 3!
should’ve gathered Sponge & Donkeylips to hang Pinskey on the flagpole and salute his shorts by the end of season 2!
Always beautiful til the day she dies! love that woman! I envy the lucky bastard whoever’s with her! mwah-BANG!
Haaaaaaa……..i’m in heaven! one of the nick stars that made me enthusiastic about tuning in every week!
Nobody ever explained why he left the show. was it really acting wasn’t for him that’s all I heard? morally he was the main character. look past harry the hippo & applaude’em. you da man Erik!
oh my god she is still smoking hot
He actually wrote and directed that crap movie
Don’t forget abt DUDE WHERE’S MY CAR? He was one of the cult followers that got knocked out!
