The story about Mark saying the funny thing is all true. Yes. 
Stubble and I were witnesses.  Stubble and Mark and I went over 
the the sick girl's house to get her copy of TEEN WOLF.  Whilst we 
were there, Mark said the funny thing. Stubble got it (as in, he 
understood it) before I did, because I wasn't fast on my feet. 
After Mark was done being clever, we watched TEEN WOLF. A few days 
later, I threw up five times. Twice in a dorm toilet. Once in Mike 
Cassady's car (and partially on the side of the road). Once in an 
Eastern Iowa Airport bathroom. Once on the airplane into a vomit 
bag. I was sitting next to a baby on the airplane.  About two 
weeks later, I went sledding.

:I heard a story about Mark.  It may have been twisted over time 
:by the effectus grapevinius, but here's how it was told to me:
:
:Mark went to visit a friend of his.  She said to him, "I've been 
:very sick for the last few days.  I hope you don't contract 
:anything."
:
:And Mark replied, "I will not."
:
This supports my hypothesis that mark is, in fact, the Funniest Man
in the Whole Wide World.  Keep on kickin' ass, mark!
 
And a very special shout out to all of you who made my new year's 
eve such a delightful experience.  Elton wanted to personally thank 
Chris for giving him his first-ever tongue-kiss from a man.  He was
too embarrassed to personally thank him, though, so I'm doing it.

Aprille, funny you should mention that; because Chris also 
attempted to give me said tounge kiss which would have been my 
first man on man tounge wrestling. But I evaded, not because I 
didn't want Chris to kiss me, but because I just feel like our 
relationship has to be more about sex, IT HAS TO BE, CHRIS!! I 
am not a piece of meat for you to "bend over and load like a 
cannon" in front of your friends! What about my needs?

:-)

In response to Balls (NBC) and his vomit story, I would like to 
add that the UI theater department is responsable for the last 
time I vomited. A lethal cocktail of Bass Ale and cheap 
champagne served at an opening night party prompted me to hurl 
so loudly that my roommate thought I was having a heart attack. 
I spent that day eating soup and watching THE OMEGA MAN staring 
Charlton Heston.

If you're talking about the plane you boarded on December 18th, I 
can verify THAT story.  I saw you sitting in the last row and 
waved as I went to my seat, but you were looking elsewhere.  I was 
sitting near the front (too close to see into first class, close 
enough to wonder how much nicer it might be there).  However, I 
didn't hear you puke.  And then I went dashing for my connection 
flight, or I might have said hi.  Small world.  Big plane.

I was that sick female "friend." After I heard that "joke,"
I was "sicker" than ever. In fact, I "puked" all over his "shoes." Ha. Now, let's see if he will not
"contract" anything. But don't "quote" me.

thanx for the info adam!!...sounds like another sweet 
opportunity....

my no shame abstenance is beginning to be unbearable.  four weeks 
without a no shame-gasm (or..."nogasm") (or "magippeared") gives 
me a dark hole inside my body where demons grow and eat the light 
of hope away.

so, that was morbid.

and now its finished.

its like the old rhyme goes.

exactly like it.

            THIS IS A MESSAGE JUST FOR SPECIAL YOU!!
                     from Anne Rice.

   I was thinking superhard about what I want to see at "No Shame 
Theater" next Friday.  Then I saw that movie "I Interviewed 
Bradley Pitt and he was a Vampire."  Well.  I decided "I want to 
see more things like that."  In one part, Christian Sleator, who 
is wearing the kind of corrective glasses with totally flat 
lenses, says "I want to be a vampire!!!!" and Bradley Pitt, who 
is playing a gay friendly vampire, says "REALLY?!?!" and 
Christian says "NO!"  How come?  Why would he say that?
       That made me think about things like Characters and 
Motivations and Plot Continuity.  I decided that they must often 
be sacrificed for the sake of entertaining me.  I would have said 
"That movie was just boring," if it had made sense. Instead I can 
say "that movie was horrible, and I can not forget how it make no 
senses."  Tom Cruise plays the other (mean) vampire, also gay, 
and eats a rat!
      Also before the movie, Anne Rice came on the video with a 
"special message from Anne Rice."  She said how she loved the 
story of the movie.  She did not acknowlege that she maybe loved 
the story because she wrote it.  Then she held up her new book 
and said "I would love for you to buy my new book 'Memnocker The 
Devils'"  Her horror make-up was more elaborate than on a 
plague-victim which Tom Cruise (the actor) has sexual intercourse 
with. (In the movie!)  Why I liked this part of the movie is: 
Anne Rice did not have a neck and could not move her body, but 
she was still excited to plug her book and pretend that it was a 
"special message," with out any shame or embarassment
     These are the kinds of things I would love to see at the No 
Shame.

16) No Shame by Chris Stangle

Okay, so I do know how to spell Chris' name, I was just really 
tired.  That should be be 
"Stangylishishnesswhatisthatthinginmybutt"

Sorry Chris...

....except for that pink fuzzy thing.....in Chris' butt....

We cannot believe we witnessed that.

There was a feather duster where no feather duster has ever ever 
EVER been before....or should ever ever EVER BE, for that matter.

Icky.  REALLY icky.

I will never be able to use a feather duster again.  My friend 
was so alienated by that, that she will never be able to look at 
Chris the same again.

Also - our apologies to Balls for being licked....ick

I dispute you and your argument backed wholly by opinion and 
without basis in fact or logic!

1) We have no way of knowing what a feather duster prefers.
2) While tools are admittedly manufactured to serve a primary 
function, the salient point behind tool manufacture is their use 
to solve problems or provide a service, which the feather duster 
did, regardless of whether that feather duster did what feather 
dusters are "supposed to do."
3) We therefore have no reason to assert that the feather duster 
was in a place where it did not need to be. 

Admittedly, I'll never look the same at Chris either, but if I 
made eye contact with him again, I'd burst into flames from his 
godlike radiance. Well, probably not. But good god, that took 
brass balls. Except there's not enough brass in the world.

I am convinced that the Ultimate Purpose of feather dusters is 
to be wiggled about by the ass of Chris Stangl while he claims 
to be a finch.  I don't know that I have ever seen anything more 
grotesquely beautiful or funny.  It will happify me for weeks to 
come.  I and Allison (the other girl who craved Kant, if you 
remember that) were nearly in tears, and even the next day ACHED 
from laughing. When we are old women, she says, even if we are 
not still friends, she will have to call me up once in a while 
to say "remember when Stangl did the thing with the feather 
duster?"  And I will have remembered, because it has been burned 
into my retinae for ever.

Chris, we love you.
