Band practice was put on hold tonight due to the democratic caucus. I knew we might experience some conflict with the primary elections, but when they started packing up at 7pm, we thought we were golden. But then we found out that more people were showing up to caucus. I've heard of the word caucus used as a noun, but I've never heard it as a verb before....Hello, Judy...why yes, I am going caucusing tonight. You?
Ugh.
We waited around for like an hour, decided to go get food, waited around for another hour after returning from food, and they were still there. We finally decided to call it at 10pm and as we were walking out, what did we hear? The sound of stacking chairs. They were finally done. *sigh*
A whole practice session squashed by the democratic process.
Frickin' caucus.

so what was the problem? i would have started playing "christian" music, and chased the demodonks out of where the majority of them are most uncomfortable to begin with....a church.
well, i guess the church had to open up to the dems because with all of the repub positioning that happens on sundays, they have to remain "unaffiliated" to a political party to keep their "non-prof" status. sorry it messed up your rehearsal, but to be quite frank, i would have continued as scheduled, maybe just moved to a more "convenient" location (great hall, 2nd floor of building c, etc).
we were caucus-blocked !!
Well played, my friend....well played.
You know, I can't hear that phrase (or rather, the original phrase "cock-blocked") without thinking of that SNL episode where Will Ferrel was playing a frat boy commentator on Weekend Update. He was talking about Bill Clinton during the whole Lewinsky scandal, and uttered the immortal line (which many of my friends in college quoted incessantly): "Our President, Slick Willie, was just tryin' to get some blow on the down low when that bitch, Linda Tripp, totally cock-blocked him!"
We were greeting one another with shouts of "HAMBONE!" for weeks after that one aired.
[pan over to Randy, who is wearing a red "Ohio" sweatshirt and a backwards baseball cap and talks like a stereotypical college frat boy]
Randy Graves: [has his hand up towards Colin, expecting a high-five] COLON! [pronounces it "Col-ohn"] WOOO! COLON! COLIN! AAOWW! [puts his hand down] WOOO! First of all, this is a big story, dude. Read the papes! This thing is huge! Basically, what happened: the President of the United States, Slick Willie, went for a kick-ass hummer on the sly...and this BI***, Linda Tripp, totally cockblocked him! Simple as that!
Now, my good bro, Steve Pinner, we were in the same pledge class, he got arrested for rape, we used to call him Hambone. HAMBONE! CHECK IT OUT! HAMBONE! Anyway, the papers called him "The Laundry Room Rapist." He was clockblocked by some bi***. Tripp is a bi***, Hillary's a bi***, but Bubba's cool 'cause he's out looking for a BJ! [turns back to Colin and puts his hand back up] Give it up, Colin! AAOWW! [some applause] Colon! Colonial foot soldier! COLON! AAOWW! [puts his hand back down and faces the audience]...Come on, man, he won't give it up!...[to Colin] Dude, are you gay?...You gotta give it up for the bi*** line, Quinny!
Well, there you go. Thanks for the transcript.
