“Here's a health to the company and one
to [our
lad]
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again.”
~Traditional, with an alteration from
Jenni since
Andrew is a lad and not a lass :-)
Welcome
to yet another JABB issue. I’m gonna keep this intro short cause I’m
pretty busy as I’m sure many of you are. But first I’d like to say a
few words about the next issue which should be out right before
Christmas. I’m going to try and do another story with parodies of
popular and even not-so-popular holiday movies/stories. Like
Newsletters 82
and 104.
So if you’d like your name dropped into the story please let me know.
Even if you have before. Cause I’m redoing all my JABB files right now
and can’t guarantee I’ll be able find that list. May be even suggest a
scene from something I might parody. Whether I can use it or not
depends on how familiar I am with the material. Anyhow, please respond
before Dec. 17th if you intend to. Thanks!
God
bless,
Jenni
Some
of you lucky people may be living in areas of the world where you don’t
have to worry about snow, ice, and subzero temperatures. Then there’s
the rest of us including myself who have to wear multiple sweaters,
drink hot cocoa by the case, and slip and slide into our homes and
workplace. For you I present…
You
might be an Androoler dealing with the cold, wet,
winter if…
~
You watch one of the TBAA Christmas episodes and find
yourself
lusting more over Andrew’s coat than Andrew.
Mmm... coat and gloves...
~
During Andrew’s revelation scenes you don’t want to hug him just cause
he’s Andrew and adorable but because you suspect that light radiating
from him may be warm and toasty.
~
You made yourself an
Andrew Snowman but then stole its scarf, mittens, hat, and other
accessories cause you were cold. Now he’s naked. (How very naughty of
you! Santa won’t be at your house!)
~
You tried to make yourself an orange juice and ginger
ale but
the OJ froze before you had time to add the ginger ale.
~
You’ve now gotten an addiction to rival Monica’s
because you’ve
been drinking so much coffee just to keep warm.
~
You’re considering a move to San Francisco. This has
nothing to
do with John Dye living there. You just want to get away from the snow
and ice!
~
You knitted a scarf and wrapped it around your TV
cause you
didn’t want Andrew to get cold.
~
During your hot tea/chocolate/coffee binges, you
always prepare
an extra cup. Ya know, just in case Andrew stops by.
~
You slipped and fell on the ice and were temporarily rendered insane.
You drove to the mall, went to visit Santa, and demanded to know where
his son-in-law Bill Morgan was. When he didn’t know what you were
talking about you screamed “Oh you’ll tell me, old man… or else!” You
are now forbidden to come with in 50 feet of the mall or white-haired,
bearded, old men.
And
finally…
~
It’s so cold you don’t leave your house so actually
get some
work done on JABB’s all-new Photo
Gallery. If you notice a picture
or link that doesn’t work please let me know!
Now
for something completely different…
JABB:
The Drinking Game
I’ve
been toying with this idea ever since Jennie, list
owner of TBAAngel@yahoogroups.com
(the list with
out which JABB would not be here), showed me the Touched by
an Angel Drinking Game
she and several others compiled. I think after over 7 years JABB
deserves one all its own. But first my obligatory public service
announcement:
The
following game is not meant
to encourage the imbibing of alcohol. If you did drink alcohol as you
played this game, you would probly get alcohol poisoning. That would
make us at JABB very sad and, potentially, Andrew and his fellow AODs
very busy. And we feel it’s more appropriate to play this with ginger
ale or decaf mocha lattes anyway. Or, if you’re one of those people I
wrote that “You might be…” list about, your favorite hot beverage. 0:-)
Okay
here goes…
Take
one sip any time:
~
An angel other than Andrew is mentioned in a
newsletter.
~
It’s a holiday issue!
~
Hair of any variety is discussed.
~
A newsletter just plain gets sappy.
Take
two sips when:
~
Dyeland serves as setting for a story.
~
A talking Chihuahua makes an appearance.
~
A non-Andrew John Dye character is mentioned.
~
Drool buckets are mentioned.
~
Anyone other than a co-president writes JABB.
~
A random character from some other TV show, movie, or
book that
in no way involves John Dye shows up.
~
Andrew is narrating or authoring the newsletter.
~
It’s pretty obvious the newsletter was in anyway
inspired by the
author’s schoolwork.
~
Andrew himself alludes to a John Dye character
other
than
himself.
~
Jarrod makes an appearance.
~
Andrew’s murder trial or lack thereof is
mentioned in
any way.
~
An author gives a lame excuse for the quality of
the
newsletter.
(Sick, busy with school, insane).
~
Audrey pokes fun at Jenni’s mental status.
~
Someone brings up Andrew’s pocket watch.
~
Jenni gets a new co-president.
~
Manion makes an appearance.
~
Andrew is running for president.
~
A co-presidents’ parental unit(s) make an
appearance.
You
have clearly disregarded my PSA and are utterly
wasted if:
~
Lady JenniAnn and Andrew elope.
~
Anyone professes that Eric Manion is the love of
their
life.
~
Andrew becomes a shock-rocker a la Marilyn Manson.
~
Andrew really goes on a murder spree but is not
put on
trial.
~
Andrew is put on trial and, sadly, gets the death
penalty.
~
Andrew is currently in the room with you…
Okay,
well that’s a start anyway! If you’d like to add
something
else please contact Jenni. Hope you all have a great weekend!
