You know how on some days it's warm out, and then on some other days
|
||
it's cold out? Well, I have a confession to make. That's MY FAULT.
|
||
You see, I have this control, and when I turn it one way the sun warms
|
||
up, and when I turn it the other way the sun cools down. Sometimes I
|

just TURN IT for no readily apparant reason. I'm not sure why; I just

do. And you know what else? I'm NOT SORRY ONE BIT. Ha ha ha!

gave no specifics about hardware required.. Did say you needed a Ham

Of course you're welcome to come watch, even more welcome to audition.
|

There's usually a terrible shortage of men (ain't that true everywhere
|

ladies?) Auditions are usually deadly dull to watch, though. Audition
|
||
Sunday evening, December 17 at Players of Sarasota (corner of US 41
|
||
and 9th Street) at 7:00 p.m.
|
||
Latest update -- cancel last post re: archangel. He will NOT be

auditioning for my show, though he'll probably come to watch. The

think my favorite scene was the Taxi cab, when the guy tried to rob

the driver, and was abruptly desitigrated by the laser machine the

driver activated. Interesting to say the least. I think the BEST ball
|
||
scheme that came out (In two movies to date) was the boring balls in
|
||
the movie(s) Phantasm. Now THAT was an interesting double sided movie.
|
||
I really didn't care for the way they blended the second movie in from
|
||
the first, and at times, Phantasm ][ was a little bit drug out, but it
|
||
STILL had the quality special effects that made the first movie a hit.

Ok, I've got a great game of skill to play. Has anyone ever played
|
||
"Pente"? It is one of the most simple, yet complicated games and is also
|
||
one of the OLDEST games ever invented. It is played with pebbles on a
|
||
grid, and the object is to get five pebbles in a row. This sounds easy,
|
||
but is really quite a strategic feat. Anyone ever play?

What do you think guys? Shall we do it intravenous, or will we pour it
|
||
down his throat. I think it's about time that he discovered what it is
|
||
really like to lighten up! Not that I truly enjoy alcohol (I haven't
|
||
touched a drink in over 2 months, not even beer, I've kinda lost my
|
||
taste for it) but I'll have to say, I've had some aweful good times
|
||
playing drinking games around a bunch of belching, farting, drunks, and
|
||
I think you should experience it at least ONCE in your life...
