Top Three Skoro Sightings of 2007

1. March @ 331 Club - It was the last Sunday living in NE before
Nicole and I moved to Stillwater, so we decided to take advantage of
the discounted Bloody Marys. I had two of them and then decided to
break the hard news to Skoro. He seemed to understand the significance
and was sorry that I had to go.

2. March @ 331 Club - Later that evening, Robert Williams and I
decided to beat the crap out of everyone at 331 bar trivia. We won a
bar tab which allowed us the extra confidence to bullshit with Skoro.
He asked for my ID claiming to have forgotten me from 4 hours
previous. Rob asked if we could trade the bar tab for a copy of
'Proof'. That didn't fly, so he made us his favorite drink, the
Sidecar.

3. July @ Afton - After swimming at Afton State Park, Nicole and I
were driving home and stopped at a roadside garage sale. Skoro and
friends pulled up and looked around too. A friend of his purchased an
ice cream sandwich at a nearby gas station. He looked as though he
recognized me. I made no such look.

Top Six Lines from the Great American Novel

1. Justin tossed the bit of Internet in Mickey's cage.
2. His strokes were wild and free. His golf cart was fast and
careless. He was laughsterbating into a Nepali ornamental headdress.
3. "So they sent the message, a $10,000 bill upon which Rob had
supposedly written "Let's Party," then drawn some breasts upon
one-time Secretary of the Treasury Salomon P. Chase, before signing it
simply "Rob!"
4. "Mr. President," said Private Boline, "if he isn't ready, I didn't
graduate from college."
5. The man had flashed the gorgeous ocular magnets again, thrown the
frisbee out of bounds to lose the game, and sashayed away.
6. Kyle's scrotum had returned to human size, but Billington was
running up and down the shoreline, playing with Kyle's pants.
