November Bookclub Date Announced

After the rousing success of our first bookclub, the November Bookclub has been scheduled for Thursday, November 13th! It will be a doubleheader of activity. We will be meeting at 6:30 at Mandango's for Thursday night football, dinner and a discussion of Bill's Photobook from the Night at the Races. Then we will move over to Country Club Lanes at 8:30 for the Big Lebowski Bowl Off. The Gnu Abides! Join the party for one or both.

The last meeting was a great time! Moebs was the big winner. I don't know if he actually came out ahead but I have a picture of him cashing a ticket. From cashing tickets, watching the ponies, riding in the pace car and even running into an old friend I had a blast at the races! The afterparty took place at the Luna Lounge where we had another Gnus Brush with D-List Celebrity. This time is was Barbi Benton! Shown here with Stuart and Bill. (From the look on Stuart's face, any guesses where Bill's hand is?) She was very nice and more than gracious posing for pictures with everyone at the lounge.

Who knows what D-Lister will be cool enough to hang with the Gnus this time? Will Creighton Sanders be sucking down gin & tonics at Mandango's? Will it be the lead singer of Tesla be whipping a rose-incased, clear bowling ball down the Country Club Lanes? Will Molly Ringwald be singing Karaoke at the Candlerock Lounge? Show up to find out!

A Message from a Racehorse

Hey there Bad Gnus! My name is Hung Like A Me. First off, I can't tell you what an honor it is that me and my friends will be your companions at the first ever Bad Gnus Book Club. Wait... What's that? You want us to run around the track pulling little dudes in a buggy while they whip us so you degenerates can bet $2 a race on us?!? Figures. Your loss. I bet that won't be the last time you hear that phrase all night. (he he he whinney he he)

I guess you'll miss my opinion on some of my favorite books: The Black Stallion, Seabiscuit, anything by Dick Francis and Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Dude's a sick mother but the trainer couldn't turn the pages fast enough for me...

Anyway, runnin' fast is what we do! The only way I could be happier is if the guy with the Napolean complex that I have to drag around all night would stop hitting me. We have a great time at track. We're full of little in-jokes like when we stick a white horse out there so all you racist sons of guns will throw your money away at it. Or the names we give ourselves so we can hear the fast-talking announcer shout it out. Some of my favorites that make me laugh everytime are Hoof Hearted, Mike Oxsmall and Vice President Palin. Hooo boy! Some words just shouldn't be said together.

So here's the deal. Y'all show up Thursday, October 9th around 6:00. The Fellas will either be in the low part of the second deck or wandering around. It's not a big place. First race is 6:15. There's probably some kinda drink and food specials. Just stay away from the Kielbaska. He was looking pretty sick before he was put down.

See ya then!
