Ok, so we’re hanging out at IHOP in Oklahoma City after the Weird Al show. It’s about 2AM. After we’re done eating, we all walk out into the parking lot just in time to see a van come to a screeching halt in front of us. 5 guys jump out and open the back to reveal a butt-nekkid guy tied up and in hand-cuffs. The guys proceed to drag the poor man out and throw him on the ground. At this point, we notice that someone has written, in black marker, “This is my last night a virgin” on his back. His ass has also been cleverly labeled “ass”. They roll the guy up in carpet foam and start walking him into the restaurant. As they’re walking in, I yelled - “What people won’t do for pancakes…”
We got pictures, before and after they made him into a nekkid-guy burrito. My guess is it was his batchelor party.
When it first happened, I thought we were about to witness a horrible sex crime.

You went to a Wierd Al show? Why? 😕

Because Weird Al has been my idol since I was 3… If you don’t like him, that’s fine (not really), but don’t start giving me shit. He’s a musical genius, as well as a very witty guy and parody artist. His live shows are just amazing. Seeing him play the accordion so fast while singing really tough vocals just blows your fucking mind. Definitely the happiest few hours of my life, rivaled only by They Might Be Giants.
Aside from all his talent, Al is also just a damn nice guy.
I’m going to see him 2 more times in October.

Was he rushing maybe? Any colleges close by?
Boy, talk about humiliation. I’m sure the midnight shift at IHOP has just about seen it all.
Was the show good? I like Weird Al. He’s…well…he’s weird. 😃

Nah, he was about 40 or so… Was most likely his batchelor party.
The show was unbelievable. The first time I saw him was at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas, with several thousand people… But this time, it was in a quiet little community-college auditorium… Only about 1000 people there… Very rad.

Whoa! Easy there, boy. I was just teasing. I know plenty of other psychos like you out there that are obsessed with Wierd Al. I mean, I have…umm…friends, yeah that’s it, who…ummm…like Wierd Al.

Be quiet Jack! We told you not to talk or it would be worse next time…

And according to my best friend (who was an extra in his Jedi video), he is quite the perfectionist too.

Yeah, Jack, the first rule of Ass Club is Don’t Talk About Ass Club.

Ooops.

Democritus: Don’t worry, I’ve told the hitmen to stand down.
Jack: Damn, you sure did have a really big grin on your face Friday night… You’re really into that whole pretending-to-struggle thing, aren’t you?

I guess rule number three is “Only 2 men to an ass”?
Sounds dangerous, but OK.

C’mon. \* Obviously \* the two events are related. Really, this can’t be surprising.
slight hijack…
Ruffian and I are both fans of his and we’re actually planning to send Weird Al an invitation to our wedding. Not that we expect him to show, but wouldn’t we all be surprised? Now if we can just figure out where he lives.
Or, _even better_ maybe we could hire those 5 guys to find Weird Al, tie him up, and bring him to our wedding.
Hmmm…

Good God! Where can I find the itinerary? If he’s anywhere within 50 miles of DC I gotta get tix.

Farris, pay no attention to Demo, I 've seen his record collection, I’ve seen the Weird Al vinyl.

Damn you woman! You’re supposed to SUPPORT me!!!
Love and cherish and all that shit!
Anyway, since I’ve been exposed, yes, I admit to having In 3D on vinyl…and loving it. I still think he’s a freak, but…well…I like freaks? Anyway, I have to go listen to Polkas On 45 now, see ya later.

Bachelor parties tend to be slightly less homoerotic. I’m sure it was a fraternity thing. Did they do soggy biscuit/butter the toast in the resturant?
Al’s show is a lot of fun. I’m not quite enough of a fan to follow him around like a Deadhead but I enjoyed seeing him at the AZ state fair last fall.

His full tour list is on Bermuda’s website at _tada_ [http://www.weirdal.com](http://www.weirdal.com).
Padeye: OK, I’ll ruin the mystery and humor of the whole thing and admit that we asked the guy on his way in, and he grinningly told us that it WAS his batchelor party… But it’s cooler the other way.
DeathLlama: Send the invitation to the CLOSE PERSONAL FRIENDS OF AL… The address is on [weirdal.com](http://weirdal.com). I happen to know for certain that he personally reads everything sent there, unless you send him a parody idea. He hates that. I’ll try to put in a good word for you when I meet him in Lubbock.
I certainly hope Al plays at MY wedding…
