In the same way that it
takes my employer a few months to deliver my 2006 review, it has taken some
time to assemble all of the things that happened to the Dungeon Crew in 2006.
That's mostly my fault for not updating the page more frequently. My 2007 New Years
resolution is to update a little more often than every 18 months. Anyway, it is
with great pleasure that I give you...
Dungeon Crew 2006 in Review
|
|
Okay, this first one is actually from 2005, outside
Cavallo's cigar bar: Timmy, Biz, myself and Paulie stunk up the place along
with Donna, who is not pictured because she's vomiting from all the smoke. |
|
Also from 2005. Surprise, surprise, Royboy caught a fish. |
|
|
|
Okay, moving on to 2006 then. Let's see, what happened?
First and foremost, crew were firing out kids* left and right. First up was
Juliet & Chad, who gave birth to Bret Steven D (the D is for
"Danger!) February 21st at 3:04 PM |
|
Next up were Ursula and Don, who originally expected a
girl (apparently he was a bit shy during the ultrasound). They were all set
to welcome Ruby into the world when Leo Gianmarco came bouncing out in June. |
|
|
|
And coming in just over the new year, Lee and Sherri
welcomed Story Ada, born January 4, 2007, at 7:36 p.m. At this point, our
refrigerator is practically plastered with baby photos... |
|
Lee also had a bang up year in 2006, race wise. I've
coalated alll of his racing e-mails on a separate page.
Here is the classic shot of him wondering whether those bicycle seats
actually contribute to sterility. Apparently not. |
|
|
|
Other news...The Davies moved. That's Will moving the
suitcases. |
|
And Mita and Sanjoy got engaged! Spankings for
celebration! |
|
|
|
Now, Juliet has made available lots of photos of Brett. I
think his likeness to Mommy is uncanny. |
|
Here is another pic of Mr. Danger, in the clutches of an
inept caregiver. Maybe the hands of another could soothe the boy… |
|
|
|
…and maybe not. I think somebody just pooped, but it’s a
coin toss who. |
|
Ok, pass the lad onto one of the ladies. Nope, still poopy,
but happy at least. |
|
|
|
Round about Halloween time, Juliet dressed up Brett the
most size-appropriate costume. See the rest of the pics here. |
And finally, Royboy had some thoughts for improving reality
television…
I hate these mass mailing, but seeing as I have some free
time on my hands without a job and all that complicated 'life's little
responsibilities' stuff, I figured I'd mail some crap to you guys. Mostly
because Sanjoy has been slacking in this department since he got a new woman.
I get the unique opportunity to live the life of some of America's great
cultural icons. Mostly, Archie Bunker. I sit in front of the TV, and that's
where you'll see me every week. So I'd like to make a few quick Archie Bunker recommendations.
Dan and Pete should go on The Amazing Race together. I would volunteer for this
show, but we all know that by the end of it I would be the worst person to be
spending time with, plus you would all kill me once the show came out and I showed
my real A-hole side. I mean, showed it to everyone else, since you all have
seen it (except you Donna). I think Dan and Pete would probably be our best
combination, since they won't let Biz play with his understanding of Injun, and
Paulie and Timmy would look too much like extras from Ronin to get anyone in
foreign countries to give them any free help. And let's face it, Lee and Amanda
just wouldn't be as exciting as Dan and Pete. Maybe if Donna could go on the
show with Donna, then the Crew would have some good representation, but I just
don't see Donna cloning herself anytime soon. Too bad.
Anyway, Dan and Pete would be great because they could do most of the physical
stuff pretty well, and once they figured out how to cheat they would, PLUS everyone
would love them because they would totally help other teams out if they liked
them. It's like a frickin mark-brunett GOLD MINE here people. Why am I the
first one to mention this? So, Team DP (is steiner chuckling?), get on the ball
and get your tape made so you two can travel and win some moolah.
My other television discoveries usually come later in the evening. Other than
'Intervention' and 'Cheaters' which are pretty seedy
can't-take-my-eyes-away-from-the-carwreck-of-your-life shows that I totally
love, I think the best show on after midnight might be G4 television's 'Ninja
Warriors'. So if you were an unemployed insomniac fat-boy, and saw that Ninja
Warriors was coming on in five minutes, you would watch too, right? This show
is a glorified Japanese obstacle course. If I win the lottery some day, I will
buy the Crew one of these courses, just to see what the hell happens when Hys
tries it.
The premise of the show is there are like 100 Japanese dudes who have like 90
seconds to run this course, which has jumping and climbing and all kinds of
crazy shit like holding onto this log spindle cynlinder thing while it rolls
down this ramp and you hold on like a hampster in one of those little exercise
balls they used to let hamsters run around in and I used to whip around to make
the hamsters sick. Woops. Too much Archie Bunker there.
Anyway, there are all kinds of Japanese dudes, skinny ones and fat ones and
athletes and gas station attendants, and they have to do like 4 different
obstacle courses in a few days if they want to be a Ninja Warrior. Which of
course they all do, cause every dude wants to be a Ninja Warrior.
Did I mention it is a Japanese show, broadcast in Japanese? With poor
subtitles? Classic.
Right. So these Japanese dudes are being announced like it was some kind of
modern day gladiator games, by the Howard Cosell of the Japanese extreme sports
world. This show is so much better than old shows like American Gladiator,
simply because there are like a hundred little asian dudes all falling off of
things into the water on their heads. Hilarious.
So, I think kev should head to Japan and get his Ninja Warrior on. Lee can be
your coach, monster. I hear he's in shape.
Stuck to the television. Again
