Minutes of the DLS: March 6, 1997

 

Once upon a time there was this woman and she was really pretty and wore red and stuff and she was like looking in her closet for some fishnet hose and it was really cold and she just suddenly fell through the closet.  There was snow everywhere and she thought she’d have to burn puppies to stay warm but then Confucius drove up in a sled and there was this white chicken in underwear pulling the sled.  Then there was a lion and HEY I’m a lion ….

Hi I’m Leo Hudson.  I woke up this morning and it was like yeah, I’m the Secretary of the Demosthenian Literary Society.  WHOA, man, talk about pressure.  Can I make decrees form up here?  Do I get to order people around?  Cool, like “BRING ME THE HEAD OF COURTNEY LOVE!” What?  Oh, attached or unattached?  Gosh, I don’t know.  There was this bald pizza guy at my house the other day and it was like, WOW, I’m on Star Trek!  Stardate Log ….

Who am I again?  Wow.  Where did all of you come from?  What time is it?  It’s after 7:00?  My watch was like upside down.  You know I had this dream last night and there was this huge thing looming over me and it was like Phil’s jaw.  It was so square and then I started thinking about my brother.  I am my sister.  In slides, I can’t tell the difference.  My brother Donna Shillington is out there somewhere, she’s got enough soul to make up for any of you that have lost yours ….

Oh, Hey!  I’m Leo Hudson.  At least I was the last time I checked, I think.  I like playing tennis with women.  Especially if I get to be the ball.  Hey!  Did y’all notice we just moved into the 21st century?  I’m the Secretary.  It took forever to get up here but this time I got smart.  This quarter will be different.  Last quarter there was a paper weight up here and before that a lead pencil with hair.  It’s so weird.  I fixed those doorstops so they couldn’t run, though.  This is just gonna be so wild as long as we keep the dogs out.

 

            Cheong scattered rose petals as the meeting came to order.  Mr. Shumaker, champion of the blue droids, was chosen as the critic.  Mr. Hortman repetitioned and was accepted back into the fold and all the sheep went crazy.  In Committee Reports we got to hear Mr. Van Meter, again.  He only gives a report every meeting, geez.  HEY MAN, I WANT MY SHIRT!  His Librarian’s Address named all the evil violators of Library land.  I’m just waiting for Missile Envy to come back.  Mr. Bowman rose as Chief Justice and said he’d continue the lock project if there were no objections.

            Elections were next.  Absentee, proxy ballots or anything like them gained approval.  Mr. Stuart began to weep bitterly as he found he would be stripped of power, manhood, and the gavel…

            Presidential nominations went to Mr. Pyrdum and Mr. Choi.  After much stumpness there were speeches and the memory of Mr. Choi’s stunning figure got him elected.  For the Office of Vice President, Mr. Weaver and Mr. Bowman were nominated.  Mr. Bowman won and a mad dash for the appropriate attire was made by both candidates.  Many tries finally led to Mr. Hodgins, Ms. Richie, and Mr. Shumaker receiving the nomination and summarily the election to Judicial Council.  Mr. Shumaker rose out of the sea in an oyster shell to assume the position of the Chief Justice.

            Mr. “No New Dogs” Hudson quickly concealed, trampled or pocketed all doorstops in sight and thus gained the office of Secretary.   Mr. Hortman was nominated for the office of Treasurer and was summarily elected.  Ms. Mingledorff and Ms. Cunningham received nominations for Librarian and Ms. Mingledorff was elected.  All sleeping members awoke and found themselves nominated for Custodian.  Ms. Cunningham was elected despite the powerful bids of Mr. Gable, Ms. Brignac, and Ms. Moultrie.  The office of Sergeant-at-Arms faced down Mr. Smith, Ms. Brignac, Ms. Moultrie, Mr. Pyrdum and Mr. Gable leaving a run off between Ms. Shillington and Mr. WeirMs. “Soul Woman” Shillington was elected.

The new officers were sworn in and Mr. Shumaker, friend of the obscene short man (check his best friend), beeped and whistled a critic’s report. The Society couldn’t determine whether they had gotten Princess Choi or the Emperor in disguise but they adjourned with relief that the evil tyrant, Dark Stuart, was dethroned and back among the dogs.  OH WAIT,  sorry no dogs, no dog. 

I was awake the other day and I was thinking,  “Hey man, Ryan could be the next Ralph Reed.” But, NO, not enough green.  There just isn't enough green and green is yellow so you know you gotta have that.  There are all these men trying to whitewash America, they must be CRs or something but you gotta have color, geez man.  I think Mike Shumaker looks like Gumby when he dances.  Clay bodies are cool.  I want to make you ONE promise. No mention of small farm animals in the minutes, at least not many. I've been a chicken and you just gotta know what its like.

What was my, OH yeah- I'm Leo Hudson your new Secretary and this is gonna be a really fun quarter!!
