Susan: ~Was forced to leave early due to snow.

Masquot: ~Childhood memories of playing in the snow. Dan got caught on some
monkey bars by his jacket while playing by himself. No one came to his aid.
He was suspended for upwards of 25 minutes. A different occasion, Dan was
sledding down a hill. He went to the very top, hit the sweet spot, and caught
air off of a snow bank. Air is reported to be 50 or 60ft. Dan lay on the
pavement, unaided again for quite some time. He then resumed playing.

 ~Jamo was ridiculously late to the masque meeting because he had to dig
   Brie's car out 4 times in an hour!
 ~Moral of the masque meeting: Drive safe...in fact, don't drive at all.
 ~Someone at some point clipped their nails, possibly toe nails, in the green
   room. Seriously, don't do that.

Its Friday!

Trivia:
This weeks question was: Who invented the word .assassination?.
The answer was William Shakespeare.  The first to get the correct answer
was Caitlin McMonagle.  She received a green, stretchy, light up, frog
ring.

Masquot:
When Dan was five he went to an amusement park.  But it was by no means
fun. He was brought into a scare house and was traumatized by the
experience.  Therefore, he did not go back to an amusement park till he
was 10 or 11.  When he finally did, he went on the graviton.  A ride that
you stand up in and it spins and you get pinned to the wall.  But because
he was so small for his age, he progressively slid up along the wall.
While everyone was screaming with enjoyment he was screaming in terror.
It was not till later when he gained some weight that he went to Six Flags
at 13.  He went on his first roller coaster and a stream of profanities
came out of his mouth.  A little boy near by laughed at him.  So now he
likes many rides.  This also reminded him of his time in Hong Kong when
they went to Ocean Park there.  All the rides were like children.s rides.
Everyone at the park we scared but they were not.  If people from Hong
Kong were to go on rides in the US they would have heart attacks.

Trivia:
This weeks question was: In "West Side Story", Tony's death is sealed when
he hears the lie that Maria is dead. Who invents the lie?
The answer was Anita.  Jarthley Monterroso was the first to get it
correct.  Her prize was glow in the dark dough.

Masquot:
In Dan's past he would go into the woods for days with friends camping.
His friends and him decided to do a spoof on "The Blair Witch Project"
called "The Triangle Man Project."  There was a man that lived in the
woods who had a triangular head.  They would run around and hide taping
the whole thing.  Dan decided that it would be a good idea to take off all
his clothes but a sock and run and hide and curl up into a ball in the
fetal position near the end of the film.  They showed this to all of their
friends and laughed a lot.  Then they lost the tape.  So 5 or 6 months
later it got out and was circulation around their high school.  Random
people would come up to him and say, "you were in that video."

Others:
Jonnhy-the reversal of the curse on the LT extends beyond the LT.  He was
crossing the intersection near by and a car came very close to hitting
him.  So it is working.

Susan B:
CONGRATULATIONS KELLY AND PAUL ON THEIR ENGAGEMENT!!!

Trivia:
This weeks question was:
What was Times Square, one of the world's most famous theatre districts,
originally named?  What was it originally named after?
Smriti was the first person to get it correct with: Longacre Square, named
after a district in London.  Her prize was a blue, "hair ball" stretchy
blue ball.

Masquot:
The last week has been really crazy with the production and classes and
the such.  These crazy times have reminded Dan of his past.  In high
school he worked as a dish washer.  It was a horrible job; very hot and
humid.  He had some interesting experiences during the boring time when
they had nothing to do so they would go crazy and have ideas.  They would
clean the back room and organize it all.  Some of the grim would not come
off some it.  In particular there were these pipes that they decided one
day to clean.  So they had all these chemicals around them, so they mixed
them all together.  They knew it was a bad idea, but they did not care
when they were back there.  Everything was the cleanest it had ever been.
But then they were coughing and having trouble sleeping.  His chemistry
teacher thought that they made mustard gas. SO all in all they had a very
interesting experience.  (Note: "Please don't do this at home.")

Others:
AJ-Johnny gave her a fortune from a fortune cookie, "The heaviest chains
of worry are forged in idle hours..." in bed
Jamo-"Hey, you look clean today"-jess, "I mean you look like you showered
today."  Though she meant it in a very nice way, it was quite funny.
Chris-she is not dead, she has a job in Worcester, she needs a place to
live in December, please let her know if you have a place for her
EJ-2 days ago he got hit by a car, but luckily he is ok!
