And I didn't realize the AAA left you stranded! That is so not right. Time to go back to paying the $3 roadside assistance on your insurance, and dumping the gorram useless auto club.!
Although I was a little po'd about that, I guess I should cut AAA a little slack. A few months ago they did tow my sister's car a hundred-some miles using my card. Plus, I hit them up all the time for maps and such. And things worked out anyway thanks to Bonnet Bob, Mark TheTowGuy, and the rest of you shiny Browncoats.
Thanks for the link to the bonnet site. Do you think I'd look good sportin' the matching apron?

(echoing in my mind as flashback initiated...in high school...in high school...in high school...)
Montage of scenes:
...bringing cookies to the geeky guys in the high school radio station, so they would like me
...writing the choir "Bullsheet" (gossip newsletter) and making mimeographed copies for the chorus classes
...standing in line to see Star Wars when it premiered in Downtown Minneapolis
...sneaking copies of SciFi porn (John Norman Gor novels) into school and starting a rash of "capturing and collaring slaves" in the music practice rooms
...midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Uptown Theater
...distributing those notorious "alternative lyrics" I wrote for Pajama Game songs during Junior year musical (honestly! the songs were dirty, but that didn't mean I had experienced ANY of those things. Despite Gor novels etc., I was NOT the floozy I would one day become...)
...hanging out at Chris Newton's house, listening to David Bowie and Lou Reed albums, and us throwing darts at each other
...25-cent Chili Dog night at the A&W Drive-Thru, and being able to scarf down six chili dogs with no ill effects or concern about weight gain
Sigh. Yes, those WERE the days.
Wacky times :)
Anyone else care to share high-school reminiscences? Larry wants to know :)
Oooh, next Shindig we should ALL BRING OUR YEARBOOK pictures, lists of what we did then, maybe the predictions made about us in high school...and make a game of it!! Extrapolation:
Firefly crew - fake yearbook (Inara was what? President of Student Council and cheerleader?
Wash, Class Clown and Shadow Puppet Club...?)

Gor novels? What are those? I never read them. Nope never read them. Never. Really. 
In high school my nicknames were Elvis and Aquaman (I worked at the NE Aquarium in HS). I think people thought I would one day have a Vegas show where I inpersonated Elvis while having dolphins as backup singers. The biggest problem would have been the outfit. Polyester jumpsuit or orange spandex. I was always thinking the spandex with rhinstones would have been the best.
The one thing I remember the most was being in plays as seeing all the guys getting so in to having makeup on. I think at least one or two drag queens came out of that experience. :P

AQUAMAN!
Did you have to put your head in shark's
mouths and stuff?
ORANGE SPANDEX???
(((Erasing unbidden image)))
Even Wolverine couldn't carry THAT off
(oh, right...yellow spandex, much more different!!!)
Glad to hear you've never been exposed to Gor novels. They are SO trashy.

I actually was in "Pajama Game" in college! Hernando's Hide-a-way is one of my favorite songs of all times.
No high school reminders!!! I paid good money for enough therapy sessions that I can leave those days behind.
No, seriously that would be very funny to see what everyone was like back then... Are we having a PA spring fling?

**blush**MY Hernando's Hideaway lyrics were much filthier than the ones you probably remember, but hey, it was only supposed to circulate among a few close castmates..it just got out of hand!
Moving on past the trauma...
A PA Spring Fling?
Y'mean a "BDM Premiere Spring Fling?"
Or a pre-Premiere "IT'S BEEN A LONG WINTER AND WE CAN'T WAIT FIR THE MOVIE! LET'S PARTY NOW"
spring fling?
Personally, y'know what I would love to see?
Firefly-themed cruises, like the Star Trek cruises but with Firefly. Get to sunbathe and drink rum swizzles with our fellow browncoats and maybe party with castmembers? One big, happy, tropical Shindig-in-the-Caribbean!!? YUM.
(P.S. Dietcoke, Rhyme et al, if anybody wants to get away and meet up somewhere WARM for a few days over the cold months, I could be up for THAT!)

We really must get together again for the BD Opening Night. What a party that will be.
Keep flying
