MEMO Saturday 05/09/09
TO: joshua devenport (microsoft paint guru and laminate designer)
FROM: kim pack (loom secretary)
SUBJECT: tour laminate
Joshua,
After several drunken nights of witty banter and humorous exchanges to influence us, the band has officially decided on a “proper” title for this stretch of tour on the year of our lord 2009. please change the title from “Loom and Ocean awesome tour, great job!” to “Trusty old hog tour '09.” I will attempt to briefly explain the reasonings for this change. Your gut instinct was spot on as you originally came up with the very title. Due to the joke once dropped (I hesitate to mention the names of those involved), “trusty old hog” has always provided a good belly aching giggle. It can be used in reference to most any scenario. ie. “My courier always delivers my memos on time. What a trusty old hog she is!” or, on a more personal level in relation to the band, “Crucial Greaser! Trusty old hog! Neil, Michael, Dan, and Will...the genius force behind Crucial's (the bus's) hours of repairs....TRUSTY OLD HOGS!” I need not remind you also of the continual use of the term as reference to water jugs as trusty old hogs whether used for the drinking of water or disposal of urine. As you can see, the possibilities are endless and due to recent events the phrase is extremely applicable. So, you may now officially retire the previous laminate of “get your duck sick” and welcome the new “trusty old hog!” I would offer you other programs that could be of assistance, but am fully aware of your “attachment” to the paint program. I look forward to your artistic ingenuity and expect a rough draft of your ideas on my bunk in no less than 24 hours from the time you receive this memo from my.....you guessed it......trusty old hog.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Pack
