This crashed and burned the last time, but bored, so I'm going to try it again.
Respond to this post with your favorite memory of us that never happened.
To clarify - make up a story.
Bryan B: How could I forget? I was your backup dancer at the Kitten Klub in Chicago. You had such a following! It was an honor seeing a consummate artist perform.
Me: the honor was all mine!! And Best. Year. Ever!!!!!! But one of my favorite weeks was when I blew up my ankle and you got to take the lead. Your version of the Flashdance water bucket scene KILLED!!! Not quite sure how you went from that routine to the duct tape one . . . but that was . . .. uh . . . .. very popular too. :-D\
**************************
Mira S: All those nights we ran through the halls of fancy hotels at quarterly work meetings dressed in Copacabana costumes. Nobody could agree on who got to play Lola.
Me: Can't tell you the number of times I drove up to the front door of the Ritz in my white van with matching cardboard luggage (meeting materials), in jeans and a tshirt with no one batting an eye. But you wear a Lola costume just once!!!! The whole night at the police station trying to convince them we weren't hookers. . . . . Barely made it back in time for gavel for the board meeting, and NO idea how we got through that whole day of meetings. In fact, truth be told, I don't actually *remember* that whole day of board meetings!!
**************************
Elizabeth V: Remember that time we had Gilbert cut our hair in matching mullets, put on our Member's Only jackets and went cruising in your magenta 280zx???
Me: Magenta with fuchsia flames and a spoiler!!! And headed right up to Deerpark Lodge. I am 100% convinced that there was a group there who counted us for specials in the mullet spotting contest. And on the way home I could have beaten those guys in the drag race too if only that herd of frogs hadn't thundered out into the road in front of us. ::::::::oh JEEZ!!!! I promised I'd never tell how you came by your fear of frogs::::::::::::::::
Elizabeth V: If only we had a dollar for every time a herd of frogs spoiled our antics....we would be rich women indeed! Oh, How I miss that magenta ball of fire!!!
**************************
Ursula Q: You took your first stab at cooking dinner (hamburgers) but they weren't done all the way. Long story short, I ended up yacking on your Christmas doll..... No, wait, that actually happened.... (I wasn't aiming for it...it just happened - sorry!)
Me: What about the bungee jumping of the Millau thing? We never did finish that conversation. :)
**************************
Amy B: remember when you and I dressed up as robots and went to the Renaissance Festival
Me: Which was all fun and games until someone mistook the robot costumes for armor and we ended up on horses with 11 foot jousting lances pointed at each other! I thought I was going to die when the horses started running toward each other. Next thing I remember was someone trying to pour a pint of mead down me and some vague recollection of being on something stagelike with some guy yelling, "O monstrous beast! how like a swine he lies! Grim death, how foul and loathsome is thine image! Sirs, I will practise on this drunken man."!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
Amy B: Kim....that wasn't a horse I was on...remember ?.... Zadora was in costume as a horse...
Me: OMG That explains so much!!! It's all a fog, but I really have had some concerns about the flashbacks I've had about that day. It never made any sense until now. OK, it still really doesn't make sense, but now I know I'm not crazy. OK, it's not really definitive proof of that either . . . but for some strange reason, I still feel relieved.
