Larry's Amazing Technicolor Dream Yawn -------------------------------------- Avoid this production at any cost. It is not only a tribute to the genius of Larry, but a cliched testimony to the virtue of moderation. Out of the butt, people had decided to cruise over to ChiChi's to buy Lon and Deb some birthday drinks. Things are bad enough over there without Larry contributing to the buffoonery by drinking six (I believe- people embellish, so it's difficult to be sure) 23 oz pilsners within the span of two hours. When the goddess dragged me over there, people were at the 1.5 hour mark and things were already in a poor state. Larry was pawing Curby's shoulder, sappily muttering, "Curby, I value yer friendshtptt *hic*", blubbering in his brew. Clearly, Larry should not be lent any money at these events. At this point, we decided that we were going to cut Larry off, but the waiter sat down the fatal brew which Larry picked up and downed before I could even get the tranquilizer gun out of my purse. Really, I blame myself. Larry was attempting to sway to the can, but put up his hands and spewed slightly to the side in the foyer. In a selfless act, Larry got most of the chunks on himself, so I really must give him a high 7 out of 10 for that reason only. Even though only incidental chunks were spewed, ANS folks should disguise themselves if returning to ChiChi's any time soon. Joe Belmonte and Luis were impressed, though stated that they really couldn't come out with the Ann Arbor folks the following night as they had some really important work that they wanted to complete. Wait, I must amend my score to 8 out of ten since I have late- breaking third-hand news from MarkD (who was live at the ChiChi's urinal) that Larry emitted "the most gut-wrenching sound I ever heard". Speaking of payLOAD, Lon should have stuffed Larry in the back of his truck. Curby had to hold onto Larry so he wouldn't fall out of his vehicle while tossing. It is a good thing that Curby is a fine human being. A lesser man could not have saved Larry from beaching himself on his back and drowning in his own vomit. Clearly, that would be unacceptable since lec-eng is extremely short-staffed...ah, I mean, since Larry is such a fine individual. Larry was a good sport about the nightdogs sending him joke pages after he got home asking him to call since Geraldine of AOL (I thought _I_ was a bitch; this woman makes me look like Cathy Lee Gifford) who wanted to know when a REAL fix would be implemented and NYNEX wanting to work on some frogged lines. He seemed upset only about the way people had drawn the hair of the vomiting figure on the whiteboard during the worthy Rob Lehman and Mel Mora-bite-me training session. Godliness is next to Bill Gates. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Moderation is next to cleanliness (or at least chunk-free clothing) ----- From: Dennis Shiao Reply-To: shiao@ans.net To: "B.
