dangerpest, you should try to Photoshop a turntable into that Dubya picture I posted a while ago. He looks like he's trying to scratch there.(no subject)

To the dozens of you who were on the verge of volunteering this announcement will come as a great disappointment. Christopher Heller has enthusiastically agreed to drive the YUP van to the picnic. So please put aside any regret you man have over losing the coveted title of YUP Picnic Van Driver and give our HERO a hearty thank-you and wish him well as he hits the open road the morning of June 27.
THANK YOU CHRIS!!!!

gee, I didn't realize paroled felons could get a driver's license in CT.
Well, it's not as if they were *vehicular* homicides . . .

I've never actually mowed down any people, only livestock. And they had it coming.
(Lauren, please don't tell them about our little skirmish in the parking lot. I wouldn't want it to get back to my probation officer, and neither would you.)

CHRIS ALMOST HIT ME AS HE WAS SPEEDING OUT OF THE YUP PARKING LOT
From: Chris
To: Dan; Kate; Lauren
Subject: RE: Our Hero
Dammit! I merely stepped on the clutch and harmlessly revved the engine a coupla times to coax Lauren into getting out of my way. She was wantonly sashaying down the sidewalk and impeding my progress, you see. And she had the nerve to turn and look at me as if I were some sort of madman. I swear, some people . . .
I should have known this mission would get ugly. It'll all end in tears, I know it . . .
From: Lauren
To: Chris; Kate; Dan
Subject: RE: Our Hero
Has Chris told you about the hundreds of innocent animals he has turned into roadkill and shows no remorse about? Apparently they were also "wantonly sashaying" through the road when Chris wanted to get by - but that didn't stop him! Chris is dangerous. I wouldn't put it past him to take off in the van with all the YUP goodies and head for the border.
Kate, is there some sort of screening process for this job? I would suggest a background check in this instance.

To: Chris; Dan; Lauren
Subject: RE: Our Hero
I think we all need to take a breather here and look at the bigger picture. Granted, Chris may be a bit of a threat to other drivers and small mammals, but this may be an opportunity for him to change his ways. If we could all close our eyes for a moment, take a deep breath, and envision Chris driving the YUP van down the highway with his head out the window--much like your beloved Golden Retriever from childhood--breathing in the fresh air of the early, early, early morn I think we can all see how much joy this experience will bring him. And maybe because of this, he'll rethink his road rage against harmless animals and pedestrians (though I have to say, Lauren is capable of one heck of a sashay).
PS Despite what you may have been lead to believe, he was one of only a few volunteers (he was up against Leo* and some blind woman).
* Leo is my boss' six-year-old.

Wow. I've seen this woman, and I've heard people talk about the Shakespeare Lady, but somehow I never put two and two together until I just ran across this article. Fascinating and tragic. You would think that some of these bigwigs who supposedly love her so much would find a way to help her out more--but what the fuck do I know, right?
