"From a Distance" by Bette Midler
Hey
everyone!
First, I mentioned this a few weeks ago so here it is.......
Congrats to Chiwawa and Chimama on the birth of 6 beautiful puppies, 3
boys and 3 girls. Mother and puppies are doing wonderfully. The parents
have some ideas for names but due to the large number of puppies and
the fact that only so many consonants work well with Chi-a-a, they're
open to suggestions! Email Jenni if you have ideas!
Well, we co-presidents have been sending out these newsletters for over
two years now. In that time we've done an awful lot of weird stuff!
Fairy tales, parodies, we even sent John to a psychiatrist! But there's
also been some ideas for stories and merchandise that just never quite
made it to the newsletter... The following is a list of these misguided
efforts.
Top
Ten JABB Ideas That Just Didn't Happen.....
10. Writing an issue in which
Jenni doesn't appear to be neurotic.
9. A newsletter featuring Andrew
on trial for murder. (Hey! If TBAA
isn't gonna write it on earth then maybe I just will in Dyeland.... sob)
8. An unbelievably sappy alternate
version of the Jabbins wedding
story. Uhh.... It's just never gonna see the light of day and that's
all you need to know about it!
7. A play performed by Audrey,
Jenni, and Sara in the TBAA chatroom.
"Three friends, one mystery man, would their friendship survive?"
Ooooh, compelling stuff.
6. JABB: A Very Special
Newsletter-Somebody has a baby, someone else
gets engaged, and someone gets killed off but that's okay cause a month
later another character will wake up and find out it was all a dream.
5. The issue in which John starts
to wonder about how exactly he
ended
up in an alternate universe..... (I mean really, hasn't anyone else
wondered about this? Here's this actor who ends up in a magical land
ruled by 2 teenagers and for the most part he seems like it's as normal
as a visit to the grocery store?!?)
4. JABB: The Musical. Somehow
Jenni and Victor's magical rendition
of
"I Loved You Once in Silence" just didn't quite seem so magical without
Victor..... (That's an understatement! It was horrifying!) Plus Andrew
would only sing in a big group. But if you listened really hard you
could almost swear you really did hear him!
3. The JABB Theater Production of
"Othello." Andrew complained that
the
last scene would make him way too busy.
2. Writing an entire issue in
iambic pentameter.
1. JABB: The Video Game-
Navigate the co-presidents through Dyeland
(avoiding such obstacles as stray drool buckets and entrapment in
Kiwi's castle) as they search for their missing sanity.
Dyeland
Well, I might as
well fess up. I've officially decided I'm 10 again. (Oh this is Jenni
btw.) In honor of this I have made a map of Dyeland cause imaginary
worlds are super cool. I have finished a rough draft of the mainland as
well as some surrounding islands. So, if anyone would like to claim
some land to put their estate on please email me! The map can be viewed
at:
http://www.dyeland.onthisside.net/dyeland.html
The names in
red are the lands which are still available. If you don't like those
options feel free to think up a name and I'll add another island. If
you choose an island you can then choose if you'd like to live there
alone or leave it open for others to build their homes on. However,
since the mainland has limited room I can't have anyone living in those
"cities" alone.
The names in black are all ready pretty full due to various structures
I've "built." If you'd like to inquire about what a particular city has
let me know. Later when I get responses in I'm going to make a
prettier, more detailed map. Please let me know if you're interested by
Dec. 15th. Thanks!
To respond to any of the above items email Jenni.
