Fun and Games

Actually, there will be NO fun and games. Well maybe...just maybe. There WILL however, be a lot of merciless teasing and many embarrassing memories recalled. Some of them might even be about ELLEN WILSON. We might even consider letting some of you take the stage to tell a story if you like. Hell, we might even let you play air guitar if you're drunk enough, so Gerald Grainger ..... make sure you wear suitable clothing. We're trying to run a family show here. We may have the odd anouncement to make, or possibly an occasional booby prize to hand out. At a recent Committee Meeting Ron Clark had one such booby prize story to tell, but just listening to it was so embarrassing that I just don't care to repeat it here. But God help the recipient of the prize when her name is called. Having said that, the entire committee is now quite curious to lay eyes on this person, just to see for themselves whether or not she is still deserving of the "designation". Afterall, she was only 13 at the time, so we are awaiting to see if further developments have altered her score. Moving on, it has been suggested that Neil Harris might be a good person to get up and tell a story. This is true, Neil would make an excellent candidate to do just that, BUT BE WARNED. Don't let him do this until AFTER DINNER. Always the enthuisiastic conversationalist, Doctor Neil is prone to describing, in great detail, those things which interest him most. Unfortunately that tends to be a bunch of rather disgusting bodily functions and or diseased parts and pieces that only Neil considers to be appetizing fare, and for which past experience has proven to me is not necessarily the best subject matter to discuss around a dinner table. On the other hand, if ROY HARRIS wants to speak, at ANY time, my advice is to let him do so. Roy is a fun and gregarious guy, has no shortage of commentary to add to any event, and as Parkallen's resident Black Belt he is the perfect choice for anyone in fear of their life to make friends with ....... or to give a wide berth in passing, your choice. Either way, it is best to pay very close attention. Still trying to remember Roy? Think of a cross between John Wayne and Peter Lawford, with a twist of Yosemite Sam thrown in for good measure. And now that hand to hand combat has been discussed, let us move on to other things .....
