Yes, the second one is gorgeous and will swing nicely. 
Theme, schmeme. We’ve already hired the swing band. 
Umm, I’m afraid to go. Last time I did, my date introduced me to some of her friends by the wrong name. I think that name dated her soon after.
SIGH
Did someone say the punch would be spiked?
oh my god

the swing band came down with maleria and died.
but that’s not it…

Pah. Those guys? I have it on good authority that one of them is off doing…[sub]what? I can’t? Oh…[/sub]
Lucky for you we have back ups.
I’ve done this before.
Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t been able to get to a committee meeting. Old lady Harkness has been on my case about a late book report.
The decorations committee will come to order. Gee Rosebud, you look so nice with your hair like that. Franch-baby! Here’s that new Sondheim biography I promised to lend you. Is Ruby here yet? Isn’t she fitting in well for a new girl. So popular already!
Okay, as I see it the pointilliste painting theme although attractive would not succeed because nobody would wear spotted outfits, or bustles, or stand in one place long enough. Although it would be nice to use **FireUnderpantsBoob’s **pet monkey. Still, on the whole it won’t wash.
On the other hand if we let what people are likely to wear influence the theme then we might as well choose “Sluts and Criminals” which is not a good idea.
The cave thing has merits but oh, not chickens again. Last year’s seniors had a chicken release, and so many had their necks wrung, the parent who lent them was really mad.
Guinastasia suggested “Starry Night”. Let’s go with that. Van Gogh, Carl Sagan, and (if you like) Hollywood.
The decorations committee will go together as the Witches of Eastwick (me as Jack Nicholson) 'mkay? Waaay cool.
So it’s black velveteen, dayglo stars and black lights, we’ll definitely use that two meter (6 foot) disco ball, and maybe we could have those lamps on each table that have little nylon threads that glow at their tips and change colour?
Basically, let’s get the gym as black as we can then add lots of tiny light sources? Okay?
Now, nominations for Prom King and Queen?
Esprix and matt - obviously
or it could be all longdistance couples -
Anniz and **racinchikki ** and Fierra and Nymys and their friends
Gobear and stoid?
anyone else?
Redboss
Pfffft - who needs you guys anyway… MY boyfriend goes to college - a really famous one!! And we’re WAY too mature for your silly prom anyway. We have way better things to do than hang around with a bunch of children… we’re gonna stay home and have [sub]sex[/sub]!! So NYAH!
Okay, let’s just wipe out what were obviously some pretty terrible years for one of our colleagues. I say wholeheartedly - **FairyChatMom for Prom Queen.!!! ** YAY!!! Woohoo!! etc
And for King? - **Scylla **? nah, he’s too stern and unbending. And married.
Fenris Nah, he’d just make stupid jokes all the time.
FCMom? any preferences?. After all it’s your special spotlight waltz…
Red-,two,three -boss,two three…
Angel, sweety, you don’t have to buy me dinner. But if you want me to “put out” it might be a good idea. Nothing fancy, just something so I can “pay you back, later”. It’s your call. Just let me know, so I can get “prepared”.
Too bad Snickers isn’t coming. She could bring this mysterious boyfriend that we’ve all heard so much about, but never met. There’s plenty of room in the Buick. (And no chickens, either.)
-Rue.
Rue- weren’t you in Boy Scouts?? 
You know it, Baby. Maybe I’ll take you up to my room and show you my patches.
<wiping a stray tear>
Awww, how very touching… I’m all warm and squishy inside! As for my preference, I’d be too embarrassed to say, just in case he doesn’t lust after me the same way I lust after him…
But if being married is a disqualifier, well, maybe I’ll just mill about with the chaperones and look stern and disapproving…
Well, if Anthracite & I attend, whether as prom queen & queen or not, there will be a lot for you to look stern & disapproving of ;)!
I said that? I mean yes! I said that! He said they will all be there and will perform all of their hits. Hangin’ tough… You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff)… Please don’t go girl! Man… this is gonna be HOT!
Aw shucks, Redboss thanks and stuff. That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard since my chicken wire dealer refused to give me a refund.
I dunno, Committee… Rue’s boulders sound ok to me but I’m not so keen on the chicken droppings. Sigh… I lack inspiration… picturing myself as the dateless Lisa Simpson-esque ticket-taker…
::looks suspiciously at pez and BNB. Books swing band anyway::
I think Glenn Miller’s nephew is in a band…hmmmm…
Aw, man - which one of us is gonna be queen? <sigh> Do I have to be all butch again? It’s matt’s turn, dammit!
[sub]OK, fine, whatever you say, sweetie… <sigh>…[/sub]
Esprix
At least YOU have a date. sigh
Hello, SDMB male population?
Sorry, I’m taking bad news baboon. She’s a looker!
[QUI dunno, Committee… Rue’s boulders sound ok to me but I’m not so keen on the chicken droppings.**

It’s not the chicken droppings you should concentrate on. The chickens are stored in a dropping-proof tarp. It’s the chickens dropping that is Art.
Chicken droppings = bad
Chickens dropping = art
-Rue, (looking for a nice beret)
