Volume six from the Short White Jewish guy: Big
Meeting Edition!

You asked for them. You got them...
I can't wait for the day when we hear Shirley say the following
over the PA... "Clancy Woods... Lomas Brown and Don Casey are on
lines one and two. They want to say hello."
Best line of the night: One of the waitresses spills some beer
on Bill Zimmerman and Bob Stelton says, "Quick! Get that man a napkin.
No one wants to see Zimm in a wet t-shirt."
For all the shit I give Paul each week, I must give him credit for coming up with the nickname "Mini Zimm" for Mike Snodgrass. It is, by far, the best nickname here at SNR since Dustin was dubbed the "Wonder Grump"
The highlight of Chet's great speech was the line about Bob Berger
dating again and this time "it's women." On the other
hand, I think I speak for all of us when I beg Chet to stop dirty
dancing on chairs, tables, etc. every time he sees Jen and/or Elizabeth.
This tidbit was shared by Doug Russell during dinner: During a
Yankees/Brewers game last week, John Sterling was seen chatting
up Justin's sister Kendra (Hesse), even inviting her into the Yankees'
radio booth.
Speaking of Doug, he almost single-handily polished off two onion loaves (or bricks) at our table. And, did you know, according to John Siuntres, the onion loaf is what made Glenview famous.
I'm proud to say I was part of the most random table of the night. It featured, T.J., Jen, Nahigian, Clancy, Rooster, Shakey, Doug and Jim Talamonti. I think Clancy should consider that table for VH1's Surreal Life.
Did anyone else notice they had a shower in the men's room?
Any time that Chet calls Rooster "Heavy D" to his face I can't help but laugh.
I like that Dustin brought his "A" game to the big meeting by calling Joey "White Jeans" no matter what Joey was talking about.
Am I the only one that pictures Dean sitting in his office and watching the
DVD of our building's plumbing wondering "How did my life end up
like this?"
My favorite moment from last week was on Tuesday when Tony called in from Vegas and Randy asked him if he had "lost his shirt?" Tony replied "Yea, yea, Merk. I've got it off right now. I'm at the pool."
Whatever happened to the guy who played Wayne from the Wonder Years?
The latest from the Lindsay Lohan file: Did you see her at the MTV Movie Awards? When Mean Girls won the first award of the night she was the THIRD (the Freaking THIRD) best looking girl up there! What a shame.
That’s it for now. Tune in next week.
