October 2011

(According to the computer stats, CHUY DAH has passed the 60-post mark!)


Greetings, one and all, to the October issue of the Empire's top newsletter, the excellence that is CHUY DAH. . .


This is going to be a short newsletter, because let's face it, not much is really going on right now. Not because of apathy or inattention, but due simply to that daemon we call "real life". And that's okay, because it's been a helluva year for us all, a hell in various forms. Not to say there haven't been high points, but it's been hard, and I think we've all needed the time to take care of things.




That being said, onto business:

I'm suspending this month's meeting, as well as next month's -- but would like to suggest an event for this month, which is somewhat related to our "Dinner and Movie Night":


On October 21st, a new version of one of my all-time favorite movies -- "The Three Musketeers" -- is due to be released. One of the major stars is our late Thought-Admiral's dream girl, one Milla Jovovich (as Milady DeWinter). And since our movies were going to be a Milla retrospective anyway, I suggest that we attend this movie and have dinner at New Towne Mall. As for me, I plan on seeing the movie on the 21st (or 22nd) regardless, but I'd like to think that the boss would appreciate the symbolism of this event.


Also, a certain member of this crew (who is currently MIA at this time) has a birthday around this time, so we can celebrate it as well...


I'd appreciate crew input on this.


And now, before I sign off for the time being, a moment of Zen...

Hell May Have Very Well Frozen Over...



Crew, today is a special day. "Why is that, Admiral ?" you may ask.


(Go ahead, ask.)


It's a special day because today, after 28 years of swearing he'd never get married, my favorite bass player and one of my personal heroes, Gene Simmons, is finally tying the knot with his lady, Shannon Tweed.


In honor of this cosmically rare event, I raise a flagon of the Clan's best bloodwine in their honor, and am officially ordering bloodwine to be served freely in the galley all day today!


TO THE MARRIAGE! QAPLA!
