NC minutes

I put the minutes of last week's meeting at Northern Command HQ in my pocket and promptly sent them to the laundromat rendering them clean but unintelligible.

Here's what I recall.

Jerry has yet to pass his driver's test because he can't get used to driving on the right side of the road. Constant failures perhaps racially motivated.

JW has friends in Lubbock who a) never left and b) drink as much or more than he does.

One story was particularly interesting and I seem to be a little fuzzy on the details but JW's friend-who-never-left-Lubbock showed up at his Mom's house at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning with beer. JW, though groggy, folded faster than Superman on laundry day and quickly joined his friend in a pleasantly nostalgic liquid breakfast until John's Mom got up to get ready for church. It was around this time that said friend found a bottle of rum. So they drank it down. Rum-dumb, they drove a pick up truck down the street, avoiding children and small dogs and ran over a fire hydrant that didn't even explode water 'cause it's so damn dry in West Texas this summer. IS THAT RIGHT? SURELY IT MUST BE/NOT. There was some kind of something goin' on...

JW was sporting his National College Baseball Hall of Fame T-shirt which had written on the back the names of the inaugural inductees. Did you know that Will Clark, Dave Winfield, Robin Ventura and Buddy Holly are ALL from Lubbock? JW did.

Down to the business of the blog. A motion was forwarded that contributing bloggers be given assignments, research grants or quotas that must be filled during an as yet undisclosed period of time. Others argued this would imperil the original easy going liberal hippy attitude that has come to define the Ni Howdy environment. Stay tuned for more on that...

The rest, and the bulk, of the meeting was devoted to the discussion and speculation of a flashpoint situation that cannot as yet be discussed in such a public forum due to security concerns. Sorry. Write a letter.

Conspiracy theorists tabled these...

Why is Bread really going to Australia?

What was Bread really doing in Spain?

How can he afford such a swank lifestyle?

Why is Kevlar's motorcycle appearing at every other intersection?

Why indeed?
