I didn't sit down for long, because while Mark was writing on the attendance sheet and people were preparing for something, I sat up front and read from Monty Python's Brand New Papperbok. I read a short excerpt from the story about Happy Valley [Note: Happy Valley is also the name of the valley wherein which Penn State is located], where everybody is happy because there is a penalty of death under the Happy Act if you are not: "I sentence you to be hung by the neck until you cheer up." Since the story was extremely long, I only read the first two paragraphs.

I went to sit down, but Mark told me to continue, because he wasn't ready to take over again yet. So I went back up and read part of the naughty version of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." As I was reading the funny, but raunchy, parody I kept waiting for someone to stop me. Finally, I said, "Isn't anyone going to try to stop me?"

Someone piped up, "I didn't know we were supposed to." But luckily, Mark was ready to begin again, so I went back to my seat.

Andrija was making some more jokes in his fake Russian accent (as Dmitri Stroganoff): "I giff you Stealth bomber and AK-47 for shoes." [Note: Dmitri Stroganoff was a character in a parody I wrote of the popular game show The Price is Right.]

The meeting wound down with tearing the flyers down and reading the attendance sheet. Neale tried desperately to read Andrija's name correctly (and failed — he said "An-dridge-uh"). When he messed up, both Andrija and I chimed, "Wrong answer. Thanks for playing."

Joe shouted, "WRONG!!!" [Note: As does McLaughlin in his McLaughlin Group sketches.]

Afterwards, we gathered outside for the traditional primal scream. Things have changed since we started the scream. We used to run down in the middle of the meeting to shout, but now we do it at the end of every meeting. We gather in a big circle in front of Willard building and brainstorm for ideas. When we've chosen one that we like, Mark counts down from three an we shout it. No matter what the scream is, we always end with a prolonged "Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Tonight's scream was, in a pronounced German accent, "You vill drink Pepsi, und you vill like it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Then afterwards, people did straight-armed salutes and shouted, "Seig Pepsi!"
