It's
Been A While. (by
Gimp, 6/27/02, 8:02pm)
Okay,
so I got sick of looking at the same damn update from over a month
ago having to do with Star Wars, blah blah blah. I figure if we get
frustrated over the 48 Hour Film Festival not moving their asses and
updating the NYC site, then we need to set an example…. Heyyyyyyy…
maybe that’s why they haven’t put up the judging yet….
They’re biding their time and waiting for the Mafia site to updated.
Clever girl… Damn non-violent resistance!!!
Anyhoo,
since Poop is back at work for Mr. Ed, I thought I should take matters
into my own hands and provide you good people with an update. I feel
like Mrs. Claus. Where to begin? It’s been a month… Christ,
too much to cover so I’ll just hit some key points…
A.)
The mafia entered the 48 hour Film Festival (no doi) in which we had
48 hours to shoot and edit a movie using the film fest guidelines.
We still have yet to hear the results, but you can read about our
frustrations on the messageboard. That’s all I can say about
that topic without the vein in the middle of my forehead bulging,
so there.
B.)
Members of said Mafia took another group trip, this time to Beantown-
home of Irish and GiMp… a topic for which GiMp took much barbing…
again, the vein in the middle of the forehead. Hopefully, Poop will
be able to put up the pics. If not now, then soon, my friends soon.
Entertaining pics include the gang moshpitting in the rental AstroVan
and wiffle ball antics. A good time was had by all, as we experienced
chowder splashing and being in bars next to Fenway during a Sox game.
C.)
The Mafia band, Red Menace, had it’s world premiere on June 21st
at Galapagos Arts Space in Brooklyn to rave reviews! It was a total
blast and a huge success. Thanks to all who came “all the way
out to Brooklyn” (said in whiny voice) to check us out. The crowd
was wild. To those of you who missed it, and you know who you are
… jesus [look for a photo gallery soon --Kluv]…
You have another chance to see the OG band before GiMp leaves town
with Seussical. On August 1st we will be at Downtime at 251 West
30th St. between 7th and 8th Aves. at 10 PM. No excuses this time
people- we’re in Manhattan. Now I finally know what it’s
like to be a rock star. I’m off to get liquored up.
Well, those are the highlight for the past month. If I’ve missed
anything, do forgive. As Staind once sang, It’s been a while.

A Pleasure to Meet a Jedi. (by

Ah
Unemployment, Ah Humanity. That's right kids, it's Gen. Kluv back
in the hizouse (same thing as house) after taking a bit of a break
from the cyber-world. The last few weeks have been spent in loving
preparation for AOTC, and now with it in full swing (and with 3 viewings
under my belt), I can turn my attention elsewhere...
So
what's been going on, you ask? Not much, I reply. Most of my days
have been lazy ones, where I rise late, do something inbetween, and
by evenings end find myself sitting on my couches/floor with Diesel,
Duck, and Matty playing the ol' "Smackdown: Just Bring It!"
on the PS2 (and screaming about how Duck, as the guest referee, is
screwing me out of the match). Gimp, then returns from a long day
of work to find us here, and promptly smashes us over the head with
a steel chair--busting us wide open, as we then lay unconscious on
the ground, our faces--grim, crimson masks... Or somethinglikethat.
So
yes, I have seen the Clones, and they are good. In fact, the Sunday
before it opened, Gimp and I were treated to a special Charity Screening
at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center (my old digs)--complete with
Stormtroopers--as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. It was awesome.
Amazing. Blew my mind. And I couldn't talk to anyone about it until
most of us saw it on Wednesday. And then everyone else understood
what the phrase coined by Gimp's dad: "Change Your Pants Special"
really meant. Lo, yesterday Diesel, Spermy and myself traversed
the BLOCK LONG LINES for the Zigfield (at 3:30pm on a MONDAY no less!),
and were able to see the pic in all it's fine digital glory. Although,
I think Reed is doomed to always have the Mr. Obvious Comedian sitting
directly behind him spouting rapier-wit lines such as: "He's
feeling the dark side!" or "Ooooh, that's got to hurt!"
(or, when in Queens: "Aww schnapp! He's gonna bugg out!").
Nonetheless, the Ziegfield, it seems is the only way to go. Just be
prepared and show up early.
Why, what else
has been happening you ask? Why you might have heard of a little team
called the Boston Red Sox, who are currently the best team in baseball.
Peter Gammons knows what I speak of, and writes a fantastic article
on the Sox
vs. Mariners vs. Yankees in his Diamond Notes. Also, let's not
forget the fantastic run that the Celtics (and NETS)
have made during these NBA Playoffs. In fact, Duck and I will go head
to head tonight at the arena as the C's try to make up for their abysmal
performance on Sunday night. NOTE TO TEAM: DON'T LET KENNY ANDERSON
SHOOT. That is all.
And lastly, I
was emailed some pics from our own Jedi Monkey aka Jamie to the Engber,
of our former freshman's sherry party. Click on the links below to
see that our lil' uns' are all "Growds up, they're all growds
up!". He said all had a wonderful time, and also had tons of
DP Dough. Come to the city, boyos and girlos. Come soon.

Hopefully
I'll catch you kids sooner, rather than later. Adios.

Reebo's Summer Vacation (by
Kluv, 5/1/02, 5:28pm)
May day is here,
and with it, I can spy the end of gainful employment. Soon, I will have
a few weeks to call my own--and I intend to fill said weeks with varying
amounts of Movies, Playstation, Beer, Baseball, Basketball, Sunshine,
Food, Books, and other enjoyable things. Also, more time at home = more
time to work on web things. I intend to do a little brushing up on my
skills and perhaps spend some time teaching myself a flashy thing or
two. I may even have time to work on a new site, should
anyone be interested...
Spidey opens this
Friday. I think an evening filled with Yuengling would be good preparation
for New York's favorite web-slinger...anyone with me? And speaking of
movies we are a mere 2 weeks away from AOTC!!!
Somehow, I again got sucked up into the hooplah and found myself at
Toys R Us last week purchasing Obi-Wan and Jango Fett figures,
along with the Jedi Starfighter... It never fails. We're still trying
to arrange our plans for opening day ticket purchasing (or advance ticketing
should theatres allow it...). Keep an eye on the board.
I may just be the
luckiest
boy in the world next weekend thanks to my some old
friends...
Some quiet times
on the board this week as we all recover from the great Maillard-Yotko
wedding. I would just like to congratulate the YOTKO'S on a wonderful
wedding filled with food, fun, and alcohol. A great time was had, and
tons of dancing was drunkenly done (including myself taking the ol'
"James Brown" routine out of the closet...). Also, I would
like to thank the Yotko's for letting us all crash (and slightly trash)
their pad. My memory of the eve is a bit fuzzy, but I seem to remember
everyone mooning each other a lot... also, there was something about
"hamburger's" and "new watches" and "class
rings"...but... eh, never mind...
...Another great
moment from the Wedding Day was DEREK
LOWE'S
NO
HITTER.
That's right kids, the man who gave us the 'Lowe Face' is the new savior
in town, the C's are in the playoffs, and the Red Sox have the best
record in baseball right now. Sports are good at this moment. Plus,
let's not forget the new Lord Almighty of the Upstate Region: DREW.
We welcome our new #11 with open arms, and look forward to being the
Cinderella team of 2003...
The only downside
to the Wedding party was the creation of some new
Political Groups: the Floor People, the Couch People, and the Snore
People. For your enjoyment (or complete lack of enjoyment), we have
an update for ya below here. Enjoy. Or not. You could just check out
the new Mystery Link instead.
MTFBWY,
JOIN US.
(by The Floor
People, 5/1/02)
We are the Floor
People. We have been offered the honor to update this website, and we
have accepted. This means that our teachings and beliefs can reach more
people than ever before. Our acceptance to write such an update is in
no way related to our own website being shut down due to the vagueness
of child pornography laws. The Floor People stand by their testimony
that the pictures taken at the Annual Floor People Pool Party and BBQ
were not child pornography. We simply have some younger, more liberal
members, which we feel is an excellent example of the various types
of people who join us.
Republicans, surgeons,
construction workers, lawyers, actors, waiters, and high-ranking senior
executives all have membership to the Floor People's organization, and
detest together the Snore People and the Couch People.
Let us make this
clear: the Couch People are horny, disrespectful slobs, who make the
couches of the world their love nests in the wee hours of the morning
and skip emotionally relevant ceremonies as if they were nothing but
a fly to be brushed aside. For these and other reasons, the Couch People
must be destroyed.
The Snore People
are crass snobs, bragging of performance roles or industry jobs acquired
through "connections" (we suspect drugs), and making all suffer
with their rude nocturnal disturbances. The Snore People must, too,
be destroyed.
Also, we would like
to thank everyone who participated in the Floor People Bake Sale. Although
our musical guests Four on the Floor did not show due to a tragic incident
with a Swiffer WetJet, the guitar found in a nearby janitor's closet
made for much merriment to accompany the Floor Pies and Cookies.
If you would like
more information about us, the Floor People, you can contact the administrator
of this website, or check the message board. We will let you know when
our own website is up and running.

"The Best
I Ever HAAAAAAAAAAD!!!" (by
Kluv, 4/19/02, 11:39am)
Howdy, Nitz. Fresh
off the Gastroenterologists' table is Kluv, and I'm here to give you
the skinny on the hap-hap-happenings this side of the Missisip. This
Wednesday, I got the chance to have my very own endoscopy,
which was a super-happy-fun-time, I can assure you. Apparently I was
a comic hit as I came around from the sedation they gave me. I had the
spanish nurses & receptionists in stiches, literally. So, through
the post-endoscopy haze of the anesthesia, my Doc told me I apparently
have a HIATAL
HERNIA!!! (Cue shocking music: *Bum-Bum-BUUUUUUUUUUM!!* ) This,
apparently is what my aunt guessed I had a few months ago since I'm
"way too young to be having all this heartburn". Anyways,
it's nothing to really worry about, and I'll just take some yummy meds
to get rid of all the Acid Reflux that comes w/ it. Woila.
In other news, for
those of you who haven't heard: the Boston Red Sox took 3 games of the
4 game series this past weekend @ Fenway, thrusting the Sox into 1st
Place in the AL East. Just thought you might want to know.
Salieri
updated his bio to make it a more up to date, and some shifting has
gone on in the Jedi locations pages...some
folks over to 'Hattan, Some folks over to Queens, yet others...off into
the unknown...
Lastly, in this
month's In Style Magazine, Ms. Lesley Boone talks about many things
'Ed', but more importantly--she talks about a few things 'Larry'. Read
on:
Q:
"So tell me about your boyfriend:"
LB:
"His name is Larry and he's our Post Supervisor on Ed. He's Chinese
and 9 years younger than I am. I'm sure the last person he thought
he'd end up with was an older Jewish girl! I don't know if Larry's
ready, but i'm 34 and my clock is ticking. I drive a Dodge Durango,
it's sort of like if you build it they will come. I keep thinking
that if i have the big car the children will come."
Can we expect to
see little 3rd Generation Okay Okays
running around in the future? Stay Tuned.
PS--Seems like there
is a nice little college advertising campaign going on by Lucasfilm
& Co. Check out the following websites for some wallpaper &
fliers that kids are putting up all over colleges (and other places)
in the US. Acklay Come Home!
