Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 11:38:02 -0500 From: Catherine Berchtold Subject: INT: EmJays - the arrival rewrite Ms. Gray, the sixty-one year-old library assistant stood in front of the gymnasium door collecting tickets. She had a busting headache from a hangover she acquired at the Christmas party the night before. She'd pasted out cold and couldn't remember a thing except for an awful nightmare. She recalled an Oprah show warning women about a street drug called, Easy Lay. Sleazy men would drop it into a lady's drink while she was unaware. When she pasted out, he'd have his way with her. Ms. Gray distantly remembered the Dean of the English Department giving her the eye last night. Perhaps.... A gentleman interrupted her thoughts. "Good evening, Madam." He was a tall, slim fellow wearing a bowler hat at a jaunty angle and twirling a wet brolly. He reached for Ms. Gray's hand, held it for a mere second, then brought it to his lips for a kitten-soft kiss. "My name is Sir Randy Money and I am here for the Writer's meeting." Ms. Gray blushed. "The meeting is through these doors, Sir Money." Sir Money reluctantly dropped the lady's hand and turned to leave. Over his shoulder he commented. "By the way, I love the leather jumpsuit." Ms. Gray nearly fainted as she watched him disappear in the crowd and she thanked her lucky stars that she'd picked the jumpsuit to wear today. A tremendous noise brought her attention back to the hallway. A huge crowd was making it's way toward the gymnasium. Heading up the group was a bald man wearing a dirty sheet with holes and carrying a tambourine in his hand. A group of giggling women huddled in his wake. Ms. Gray got on her tip-toes to see a small pack of Jessica Rabbit look-alikes fighting and a man in tights leaping through the air. A scream vibrated through her body and out her mouth. "IT WASN'T A NIGHTMARE AFTER ALL!!!!!!" No one has seen Ms. Gray since. Note: A technical difficulty had to be rectified concerning one of the characters. Now, we may proceed with the EmJays. Thank you for your patience. Psst, Randy...... *wink* ********************************** Problem : Tummy Troubles Symptoms : Spitting up hairballs the size of a cow Cause : Self-bathing with tongue Fix : Get bathed by a friend -- Opus N' Bill's Life Repair Manual ***********************************
