A special thanks to my First Officers Katie and Cat, who recorded this part of the log while I was being detained by the OU Chemistry Department. These are all from Cat�s point of view.
25 August 2005
6:00 pm � I arrive at the Meyer�s house, ready for what waits
6:05 pm � Ralph begins to pitch an idea for a children�s concert to me. For 30 minutes. I do not know how many times I can say �yes.�
6:31 pm � �Catherine, I was trying to make fun of my mom and then you had to be all �you look nice Mrs. Meyer blah blah!�� � Katie
6:34 pm � Katie: Mooooom, I�m hungry!!!
Carol: Well, are you going to wait for anyone to come?
Katie: ���..noooooo.
6:35 pm � Ralph: The whole room got really quiet
Carol: Yeah, because you were mean.
6:37 pm � Ralph: the horn player has died twice, and brought back twice
Carol: �and you still yelled at him? How could you possibly yell at someone who�s died twice?!
Ralph: well, he won�t remember, so it doesn�t matter
6:40 pm � Cat: my away message says �proud member of Ohio Party of Katie Meyer�
Katie: we should have made buttons
6:53 pm � �These little umbrellas are Jessica�s!� � Carol
7:03 pm � Katie and Catherine tell the infamous �broccoli fettuccine alfredo� story.
(Side note: there have been show tunes playing for an hour. Currently it is the theme from Mame)
7:07 pm � Chris arrives. Katie says �You look like a long haired yak!�
7:09 pm � Oliver arrives. Ralph begins the community band routine again. My fault.
7:10 pm � �you just disproved my point! How�s that for loyalty? The Meyer family needs to put up a united front!� � Katie
7:23 pm � Oliver: Katie some people are winners, some are losers.
Katie: well, I guess we will see which one I am.
7:35 pm � Oliver tells a story of A.I. �Root� who invented modern beekeeping as we know it today.
7:38 pm � Katie: do you think these are done?
Chris: these look like big juicy plumpy wieners to me!
7:42 pm � �Hey did you know that moths and butterflies are genetically related?� � Oliver
7:47 pm � �You guys, there is nothing sadder than an empty house filled with party food and show tunes.� � Cat
7:53 pm � �my imaginary friend�s name was Harmonica� � Katie, Chris�s face is priceless, a mixture of horror and disgust.
8:09 pm � Oliver makes us guess what movie was the first to have a website. Chris guesses correctly.
8:20 pm � Liz arrives and promptly goes to the bathroom
8:22 pm � �Isn�t your bed on wheels?� � Katie
8:30 pm � �so at the library party�� � Oliver
8:34 pm � �speaking of deaf people�well this is different because he�s deaf� � Liz
8:44 pm � �there�s something weird about the name �orchid.� It�s like arachnid or something like �whoa, spider-flower!�� - Chris
8:50 pm � �it�s hard to have a nemesis� - Katie
8:52 pm � Oliver and Cat make a bet whether �nemesis� came from King Arthur OR Greek mythology. Terms: loser must take a bite of banana plus skin and swallow. If both loose, they both must do it. Winner gets to hear a compliment from everyone else at the party, where everyone else at the party has to come up with a scenario for both Oliver and Cat where they are facing imminent death and would have to pick the winner over the loser to help the winner die in a less painful way and let the loser die in the worst way possible.
9:03 pm � Katie searches for the resolution of the bet.
9:04 pm � Chris and Oliver get into a dispute over whether Skeletor � has muscles or not
Oliver = yes, Chris = no
9:07 pm � Cat has won the bet
9:09 pm � Chris says that if Cat and Oliver were chained to the back of a speeding truck, he would make sure to turn the wheel sharply as to make the truck not only crash into Oliver but also grind his feet onto the pavement
9:12 pm � Katie would be driving a truck filled with metal rods, the straps break and as the straps break Katie would make sure to steer the truck so the rods would impale Oliver rather than Cat.
9:15 pm � an impartial voting system has been set up for the Skeletor � bet
9:19 pm � Liz would save Cat by sending vultures to rip her throat out whole molten lava burned Oliver to death.
9:25 pm � Oliver has won the Skeletor � argument
9:28 pm � Heidi and Steve arrive
9:50 pm � Ralph makes everyone sit in a circle and take the �World�s Smallest Political Quiz�
10:35 pm � We continue to discuss the quiz. Gospel music plays. Currently, it is �Oh How I love Jesus� sung by Patrice Morris off her album �Trust Him.�
INTURELUDE:
11:01 pm - I, Captain Jessica, call the Ohio Party of Katie Meyer to find the conversation is currently about healthcare. And I thought I had it bad in Chemistry Prison.
END
11:02 pm � Now we are discussing health care. Nell Smith Spell is singing �Take to thee Lord in Prayer� off her album �Not Available�
11:20 pm � We�re talking about taxes. 11:40 pm � Oliver is pretending to be blind. There is a moment when we all pretend to be blind and Liz wound up in Cat�s lap.
11:45 pm � �Teach a man to fish, and he�ll eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to see, and he�ll look.� � Oliver
11:47 pm � Chris: What�s that disease that destroys your kidneys?
Oliver: Forgetting to pee?
