Anyway the SGNC chili party was a blast! I got to introduce a few people to my new passion
, and got to hang out with some really cool, and shall we say liberated, people. Now for an announcement: I must let it be known that I am no "Fork!" It was with reluctance that I doffed my trousers and undergarments, and I was not alone! I won't name any names, but you people are on notice!
Thank you for your time. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
There is a first time for everything and today something happened that I've never experienced before. We were in the middle of performing our show for kids, and the girl playing the dog who helps me stand up for myself delivers a line then totally passes out. She keeled straight over backwards and lands on the ground with a loud thud, completely motionless. I sat there for a second shocked trying to grasp what was happening. Was this real or was she just doing some weird character thing? An eerie hush fell over the usually noisy elementary schoolers. I rushed over to her to make sure she was alright. Her eyes were open, but there was no response. So I say confusedly "I guess we have to stop the show." The other castmates come out and a few concerned teachers come over to see what was going on. Since she was still breathing and not convulsing, I felt that she was probably okay, but all I could think about is how all these kids must have thought Back Up Dog must have just fallen over and died. Some of the teachers thought it was all a part of the show. I tell them not to call an ambulance, but they should probably get the kids out of there before they get really worried. Luckily as they were leaving the girl regains consciousness, and the kids see she was alright. She was out for a good five minutes though. There was no way we could finish the show. Once the kids got back to their classroom the school staff had to make an announcement saying, "For all you K-3rd graders that saw the show this morning, we want you to know that Back Up Dog is alright, and ready to go after bullies again." The poor kids never got to see me stand up to that bully, but I guarantee we gave them a performance they'll remember for a long time. I just hope they don't think the best way to deal with a bully is to fall over and play dead.
So I hope no one gets upset if I don't return your comments in a timely manner. I like to reply to everything I get, but right now it's kind of tough getting online. I'll be around more regularly soon.
I hope your internet woes will be solved soon.
