"cheetoes") into a bucket and barked at me: "i do not appreciate having my 
photo taken." i burst out into great peals of laughter that lasted some long 
minutes (i can only guess as to how long i actually laughed but i do recall 
that as i began i could hear the first strains of 'Dazed and Confused' from 
the 'Song Remains The Same' live album begining their weepy tintintabulation 
on the juke box and by the time i was able to dry my eyes and continue we 
were half way through 'Brown Eyed Girl'). "neither does Sean Penn, you twit" 
i said, "i was actually only pretending to take _your_ photo because i 
didn't want to make you self conscious about your truely ghastly apperance, 
fret not, your grim and horriffic visage will not be appearing on the pages 
of People Magazine, causing children to run screaming in terror and old 
people to wet themselves. move to france, you troglodite." i was expecting 
applause from the other PLUGgers, but the only response was a single, 
extended and racou
s belch and a call to the bartender for more beer, but that's the way things 
usually go around here.
