Hey. I was just watching PBS and saw your friend on a commercial. (The guy that's on your "on Bended Knee" video.)I think he's in SPF7?? Anyway, He got peed on by a baby....
And here is a little excerpt why we don't go sailing with a guy named Duane.
"Anyway, Duane came back to the dinghy dock, looked for me, crawled into a dinghy he thought was Purpeat, barfed everywhere, and went to sleep. When the couple who owned the dinghy came back to the dock and woke him up, he promptly fell out of the dinghy and into the water, somehow got back onto the dock, and quickly ran away.
So Duane is totally drunk, soaked, freezing, and now has no wallet or cellphone (but we didn't realize he lost the phone until the next day). He does the only thing you do when you're drunk, soaked, freezing, and have no wallet: you find Sara's hotel and throw rocks at the window."

After soliciting information from other secret beer garden attendees here is a list of supplies:
- Sturdy shoes for the 3 miles hike there - Inner tube for the 1.5 mile slide back - German-English dictionary - GPS device
My own additions:
- Sleeping bag (If we decide to stay with the Giant in the woods) - Bow and arrow (In case I need to shoot us some dinner) - Pepper spray (If we happen upon a rabid, uninformed USC football fan) - Our ability to merry make indefinitely...
I am beginning to think you are only using me to get to my dad.
But really how could you not considering he had a band at his wedding called Sit On My Face, played the harmonica in a band called Contraband and once forgot the color purple (not the movie).
I was hoping you were wearing your special socks.....I love it when we get down to two minutes of love making- because that's all you need, 2 minutes, because you are so intense.......
So your birthday was like, how many days ago?? I wanted to say happy birthday on the actualy day, but i just didnt get there. Little late, I know, but i hope it was a good one...
I generally only "friend" people who are actually my friends so you might have gotten yourself into a real mess here. I'll be approaching you shortly to borrow fifty bucks and whine to you about my love life. Welcome and good luck.
