I met "The Dave"
di...@utdallas.edu
When was Dave coming to Dallas? I've been muddled in exams lately and
been out of the loop. If I missed it, please flame me for stupidity in
placing homework over Dave.
Mike Yetto
I was just at Oxford Books in Atlanta where "The Dave" was signing
books and humoring us. He is, after all, a humorist. I asked how his
campaign was going and he relayed his administration's plan to bring
about peace in the Middle East. Simply send in troops some night and
steal all of the rocks so no one can start throwing them.
But that wasn't the high point of my evening (late afternoon
actually). When I brought a couple of books up for him to sign (Justin
Wilson cookbooks) he actually recognized my name. I am now officially
"widely known". He refered to me as "a deranged human being and my
personal Internet God".
He asked how the group was doing and I told him we're moving along
after a few rough weeks. He seemed as though he misses the group, but
such is life. I did mention that we were recently joined by a 15 year
old smart-ass and he said "that sounds like the proper maturity level",
so I guess the way has been paved for your fifteen minutes of fame,
Sumana.
Anyway, I'm still pumped, and not from using the mouse.

Hey, here's a suggestion to make that .sig even better;
This .sig is endorsed by Dave Barry. In fact Dave himself
said that I was "a deranged human being and my personal internet god."

Went to the Dave book signing here in Chicago tonight. I was very anal
retentive and took notes. Spoiler warning: If you've read previous
reports, some of this is a repeat, so if you are planning on seeing
something which you might not want to see if you are planning on seeing
HIM later, skip this message.
Don't you just love rambling runnon sentences
SPOILERS FOLLOW
All times, quotes, and miscellani (sp?) (Latin studs correct me please)
are aproximate.
7:00 Announcement that he is running late.
7:08 Intro stuff
7:11 Tells about interesting stuff on the web. Mainly, the exploding
whale story and how one can find it (Mr. Grimes)
7:15 Another: One of the best things one can find is a program which will
translate curses into Swedish. Not very accurate, as he states that one
of the worst curses is " Just wait til I have gotten ridden plaster".
(Disclaimer: I had a very precarious view and sound, so I may have
mistranslated.)
He was not making this up.
7:16 Sweden reminded him of a new column he is writing about Finland about
a new police toy. Called the Car Harpoon, it is mounted in the front of
Finnish cars to shoot at drunken driver's wheels, so that the barbs of the
harpoon will hold on and stop the drunken driver. The Carpoon (tm Dave
Barry), could be used, when married with a large speaker and amplifier,
to shoot at Miami driver's automobile operators who don't comprehend the
[red..green..yellow] sequence of traffic lights. One would shoot these
driver's cars and announce that a green light means "YOU CAN GO NOW" in a
large, godlike voice.
7:20 Question Time
1. Will you sing the Tupperware song?
DAVES REPLY (DREP): No. ( seques into historic booze container
museum nest to Gatorland.)
ME : Booze and alligators, great combination.
DREP continued: Talks about the Jumparoo (in Gatorland) and
alligator ennui.
7:22 2. What beer do you prefer, due to your antidomestic bias?
DREP: Beer taste is inversly (sp) (Budweiser) proportional to the
(Budweoser) to the amount of (Budwowser) marketing.
7:23 3. What happened to the Rock Bottom Remainders?
DREP: Formally disbanded. Tells stories of scary Stephen King
groupies who light their fingernails on fire and hang out all night in
very obscure truck stops and halt the tour bus for autographs. Relates
story of how Bruce Springsteen actually sang their (RBR) cover of
"Gloria". Highlight of Dave's musical career.
7:25 4. Are their any more exploding farm animals around?
DREP: No
7:28 5. Foreign policy story on Middle East. (ROCKS AND MORE ROCKS)
Also, the crooked arm syndrome among our elected leaders.
ME: Where is Rocky , still on tour?
7:29 6. What do you have to do with the TV show "Dave's World" and does
it reflect your life?
DREP: Dave's life is much more like Baywatch (according to him). He
said he had one line on the TV show but flubbed it so many times, they
shot him (just kidding).
7:30 7. Have you got a large response for the most annoying commercial
contest?
DREP: Huge response, better than the "Worst song" contest. (McArthur
Park story and Neil Diamond story). Plus "Horse with no name" and "Yummii
Yummi Yummi, I've Got Love In My Tummy".
7:33 8. Have you heard about the Barbie with no underpants?
DREP: Dave is now a Barbie expert, and Rollerbade Barbie is a best
seller. (He avoided this one masterfully)
7:34 9. When you say that you are not making this up, are you being
truthful?
DREP: yes
End of question session but he offered these few tidbits:
Political commercials in Chicago are viscious(sp) and fun.
Mr Language Person gets the most responses from people (mainly English
teachers). He said that almost everything is wrong, but these teachers
tend to only target one of the inaccuracies(sp).
Then there was a Border's contest to write most like Dave. I think the
winning entry was a comment about the fuzziness of print. (or that might
have been Dave)
End of transcripts:
Impressions: The people there do adhere to Dave Hairism. No
pulchritudinous people, grandmothers through gradeschoolers, and we all
love Dave.
One of the best parts was standing in line behind two young dudes
(summana's (sp) age), and listen to them talk about the different aspects
of the various Three Stooges. They talked and talked, and asked someone
for a penny. They got it and proved their point. You can get anything if
you ask. Then they got into economics. Correctly, they decided it was
fantasy, if one asks, and can influence, it is rather cheesy.
When I got to the Dave, I asked him to sign my books with various afdb
stuff. He signed them:
2038 boogers to you, on "Bad Habits" , my first book by Dave I ever
bought.
and
"a maximum cyberstud" for my DB in cyberspace.
I said how we missed him and mentioned Mr. Yetto's visit in Atlanta. He
seemed touched.;-)
I think.
All claims are done under the influence of intoxicants, so leave me alone
if you don't like what I posted.

I met "The Dave" a few years ago at a book signing, the line for which
stretched to an hour's wait. I brought a book I had gotten as a gift as
well as the bookstore's book (Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up). He
signed both books, moaning about how the gift book was purchased at Media
Play (the bookstore holding the book signing was an independent). I was
so in awe I muttered something totally inane and stumbled away. Later,
looking at the autograph, I read: To Joan, my idol. Dave Barry.
So while YOU might be Dave Barry's personal Internet God, I am his
IDOL!!!
And I tell that to anyone and everyone, whether they care or not.

Okay, dammit, you asked for it:
The Bee Swarm was flying cross-country when the point man came up to the
Queen and said, "Break-time, your Majesty."
So she said, "Okay, let's stop at the next BP Station."
A little while later, as they were forming ranks again, she said,
"Where's Charlie?"
The scout said, "For some reason, he went across the road to the Esso
Station."
To which she replied, "There's at least one Esso bee in every crowd."

Yes, I am almost nostalgic for those good old days when the son of my
favorite gentile humorist emailed me for the purpose of calling me names
using all the bad words he had learned in his lifetime. What a great
kid. I couldnt read Dave's column for a month after that. I mean, how
close do you actually want to get to a celebrity, anyway? Hint - getting
flamed by his son is too damn close.

Joy of joys! It actually made the Washington Post ("If You Don't Get It,

recently, coming out of retirement to the exaltations of many French
people and fans everywhere!!
There is very little Dave content to this note. I am realizing this. I
was just so happy when I realized I could follow this Latin stuff...
Okay, Dave Barry moment: has anyone discovered why certain regions of the
country seem to be WITHOUT Dave Barry '97 calendars??? Sure, it's not
that earth-shattering, but the Crown Books people said it wasn't even in
their computer as "arriving soon." Odd. As I have an inherently sneaky
web page where you can find the Quote of the Day, and have had this page
(with many disclaimers!) running through TWO yearly calendars now, it's
upsetting to think I won't be able to find one in my area. I know DC
ain't great, but surely we merit this small joy in our bleak, hopeless
existence???

All I can say is that I am happy my hard work and endless striving
lowered me to the level where I could be Dave's idol - even if I have

Well! Thanks to THIS MAN (Dave, not The Dave) (although partly thanks to
him, too...=), there's now a signed copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit"
waiting for me -- signed by The Dave! Really! It's, um, a long story.
But I'm damn pleased, let me tell you!!!
ONE of these days I'm actually going to be able to make it to a Dave Barry
Live Appearance. It is to my eternal regret that I flew to London on the
VERY DAY in 1992 that I COULD HAVE gone to the Bayou to see the Rock
Bottom Remainders. It was a tough call, but I'd spent an awful lot on the
London thing. (I also had to miss my brother getting his doctorate from
Hopkins, but that's no big deal. ;)
Hey, at least I own the videotape, right? Which, I might add, Dave sent
me email personally apologizing for....

Hey, Rob flamed me in e-mail, too! And swore a lot, in what he wrote.
Who do you suppose taught him it was okay to swear at people he didn't even
know? I mean, we all know it's a father's duty to teach a son /how/ to
swear, but isn't it also a father's duty to teach him /when/ to swear?
Maybe we should get up a petition and all ask Dave to spend some time with
Rob, teaching him the circumstances under which it's okay to use all those
big, four-letter words he's been learning.

Rob flamed me, too, but I don't remember him swearing. He just came to
the
defense of Dave's "serious girlfriend."
I think Rob is just overwhelmed by his dad's celebrity status, and has
not
yet learned how to deal with it, so he deals with it awkwardly and
inappropriately.
Bad enough for a kid to have a parent (or parents) who embarrass him -
but to
have a dad who does so on an international scale? Glad it's not me.
He's probably a good kid - just confused. He'll grow out of it (knock
wood).

Actually, if you think about it, Rob got it right! Lets think about
this for a minute. Dave wrote a now famous post where he did his fair
share of swearing. Rob has apparently done the same thing, just
managed to keep it in email instead of posting it to the group - so
depending on how you look at it, he is doing at LEAST as good as his
dad, possibly better... I would say Dave has done his job!

To sum up this thread from its primordial origins in the subject line to
its present state:
"Dave's World," the TV show, is doomed to fail and meander in mediocrity
because it lacks the day-to-day touch of The Dave.
Somehow (I was in BenFranklinLand): Rob, Dave's son, has flamed members
of AFDB.
The flaming is an initiation into true AFDBerdom, as is the offense of
another AFDBer.

There is usenet lore that

thread is about to die
2. If you attempt to intentionally kill a thread by mentioning Hitler, it

You want a whole bunch of useless and experience-devoid opinions on youth
vs. age? Even if you don't, I shall forge (barge?) ahead, just as I did
in that other Krieger thread a month or year ago or whatever.
On originality: You think everything is happening for the first time. But
then you realize nothing ever happens for the first time - maybe nothing
ever did.
On love: You hope to fall passionately in love, and maybe you even do.
But then you realize temporary passion is cheapened without lasting bonds
of intimacy.
On time: You are never content with the forward passage of time; you
always wish it were slower or faster. But then you realize that you gain
control with enough memories to halt time for a moment and enough wisdom
and patience to move with the flow.
On learning: You love school - except all those classes get in the way.
You wish you could learn about the real world instead. But then you
realize that it's all the same thing, that you need one to understand the
other.
Again, IMHO.

Dave posted his post, accidentally, but under his own name. Rob used an
alias to purposefully stir things up on the group, and only identified
himself on email when he felt the spirit move him. Rob *did* confine his
cussing to email. Guess he didnt want his access jerked by AOL.
Dave's apology IMHO was what make "Chuckletrousers" funny - before the
apology, I just read over "Chuckletrousers" and went "Hm, Dave sure has
picked up Usenetspeak in a hurry".
Rob also apologized to me, after I apologized to him for saying unkind
things to him (before I knew a) he was just a kid and b) why he said he
wasnt a fan of Dave's).

a ritual toilet firebombing for thoughtful, 90's sensitive guy stuff in
your next post. Should be well as received as this. :)

Speaking of the Weinermobile -- you were speaking of the Weinermobile,
weren't you? -- I had a close encounter with same last weekend. The
spousal unit and I were in Memphis and were making the obligatory
pilgrimage to Graceland when we noticed in the parking lot the Vehicle
Itself. We took each other's picture in front of the Weinermobile and
congratulated ourselves on this serindipitous turn of events.
The driver(s) were not in the Wenermobile, so we had to assume that
they had taken the Graceland tour...unless,of course, the King really
is still alive and he had a hankering for a big ole hot dog. Hmmm.
Still (mostly) lurking,

In London and homesick for Oklahoma? It is to laugh oneself sick.
Speaking of toilets, and assuming that you know the inventor of the
flush toilet was a gent named Crapper (true, that's where it got it's
name), a friend of mine gave me a copy of "The Specialist" by Charles
Sale, a famous book about an expert outhouse builder, the connection
that had most Americans calling outhouses "Chic Sales" half a century
ago. I found it profoundly interesting that the illustrator of this
famous book was a man named Kermode.
Lest you pooh pooh this idea, I have the actual book right here in my
hands.
There. I'll leave the sensitive gay stuff to somebody better fitted to
post it.

Ahh... ok, this explains part of it. This was happening when I was
starting to get back into the group... I had been taking some time
away from here (ok, more like 8 or 9 months)... and it was just as all
this junk was happening that I started dropping in more. Let me tell
you it just about got me out of here PERMANATLY.

Yes, THEY are.... could you PLEASE stand by the window again, the
reception gets a little fuzzy when you sit in front of the computer.

Great, NOW you tell me... I assumed I et you (everone was telling me I
did), so I just went out and got the jumbo tub-o-tums and a pint of
beano - I guess I need to go out and eat a LOT of mexican food now...
I would hate for them to go to waste.

Whew. I'm relieved. I saw the subject line and author and immediately
steeled myself for a diatribe (vocabulary word) against my inanity
(another vocab word).
Thanks.
