Check out the WiFiW Photo Album, as well as a tribute to our beloved Fran and our Weekend highlights [...]

20 Tops: Knobs, hats, Hobs and more

It’s the obsession with cheese. | Talking about what we most miss about real-live Weekend, Elizabeth nailed it with an annual cheese-based quote. You just woke me up. | Tommye on how she’s been doing lately. Get thee robe gone! | From Rosemary’s brilliant haiku. 25% of the time you should be thinking about toilets. | Mike as an efficiency expert giving bad advice. Sounds like a personal problem. | When a haiku emerges. From Sue. A pirate festival? What?! | Explaining her costume, Deb thought we would let her just gloss over her past life. I use it when [...]

Hips of Kilauea Contest

Led by our senior Weekenders, teams of three created their own hulas to the tune and theme of Little Brown Gal. See the wondrous videos at our Weekend Album. Lyrics: Team Tony, Mary Jo and Erik. Went to rent a pontoon! We had a store in mindRun by two local loons who didn’t like our kind.(Refrain.) There’s no little brown hair from a little brown dogOn a little pontoon in Illinois.So out went Mary Jo and Kurt. And Deb and Bryan too I know.On the lake they go, but with Millie No No No.            (Refrain.)They tried to catch a fish [...]

Top these, Mauna Loa.

It was not all paradise and sunshine on our Island. But it was always damnably hilarious ... There’s a chaw theme? | Erik, on learning we’re getting buckets.That’s an NP problem. | Showing off both our grasp of high-level concepts and our inability to pack a car.Vote for Joe! Vote for Joe! | Perhaps not in the Sistine. But our conclaves are more fun: They include group chants. At the election of the first Funnery Sergeant, Office of Coordination and Direction.We impeached Joe. | Five hours later, our first coup. Lu made the announcement.I think we made a mistake. | [...]
