Davidyup has been commenting here for a while. for those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, yup and i have known each other for more than a couple of years.
we met way back in monterey.
i had a roomie named jay hagman. and he had this vile creature for a roomie named lj. lj would invite nasty vile women over to the room when yup wasn’t around, and then defile yups sheets.
one of the funniest things i remember about yup was that he liked to dance. not me. i’m the typical white guy. i dance sort of. if i paid serious mind to it i could probably learn to dance passibly well, but i just don’t give a rats ass.
hence i’m single.
dancing is no doubt what endeared yup to mrs yup.
i founf this little ditty on the net that featured yup dancing. no kidding, this is just what he looks like.
Dance, Yuppy. Dance!
I am shocked that for all the years that I have known him that he would have kept his from me. His Mrs. let this out of the bag. Not even on their last visit to the People’s Republic of Maryland.
Nor did he mention the fouled sheets or maybe I just confused the ramblings as him trying to talk sailor and meaning sails. I will have to press the issue next time he comes back across the pond.
darn, the link isn’t working right now….I guess I’ll have to check back later…oh boooooo!
Take advantage of my vacation to London to air my dirty little secrets there, Mlah. Cheers, mate.
You should have seen me doing karaoke, something I didn’t really get into until I lived in the Orient. Man, I do a mean rendition of Tequila.
Aren’t you in grad school? when do you have time to find this stuff?!
Sadly, I dance like that, too.
We should make a guild of sorts.
It’s interesting the things people find when they google your name. In this case, an old friend looking for me found that I was a vile person doing vile things in Monterey while rooming with ‘yup’. Given that I only roomed with Alan and John while there, I’m left to assume that one of them changed his name to Jay Hagman. As for the defiled sheets, I wish I had a better memory of them. In any case, thanks for letting me know what I was doing while stationed there. I’m sure, from the inane comments and juvinile political commentary you spew out here, that you spent your time in deep study of Big Issues.
or that i, mlah roomed with jay hagman, and you roomed with yup.
one name for you sen~or lj.
tracy kinnerly.
that earned you the moniker of vile. and don’t worry, i have never denied my own status amongst the low, but i didn’t earn it with her…….
Innane comments and juvenile political commentary. Gee, Gus, are you gonna take that sitting down? Hola Larry!
gus’ll never see this post again yup. most likely. it’s way too far in the past. larry only found it because of his vanity search. gus’ll never see these comments. but i appreciated it!
mlah (yeah, i edited my name)… thats a name I havent heard in about fifteen years. I do remember you from Montereytall, kind, a little awkward physically and socially in a Peter Boyle/Randy Quaid-ish waybut Id already placed you in the knew a long time ago, liked, but wont see again file. When youve moved around as much as I have, acquaintances tend to slip away.
Though that had happened in our case, I recognized your name immediately. I remembered the Diplomacy game where you all teamed up and knocked me out, a mock attack on a sidewalk in San Francisco, and many drinking bouts and conversations about life, music, and the universe with the gang in the gazebo outside the barracks. I didnt remember you as the kind of person who snipes anonymously from a distance of fifteen years. If you or Yup (Yup, I assume) (again edited) feel some sort of animosity towards me, Im sorry that this is the case. I was under the impression that we parted as friends; apparently, that wasnt so. Nevertheless, mean-spirited blogging about who was involved with whom over a decade ago seems petty.
From what I can gather from a brief look at your work here, it seems that you are still single, are still in grad school, and still cant dance. While these arent the case with most people in their late 30s, that certainly shouldnt cause you to include yourself among the low. Know that I never placed you in their number.
mlah, I have no wish to continue your acquaintance or this conversation. Unfortunately, the Internet allows personal opinions and gossip that responsible adults would keep private to become randomly and forever accessible. I hope that you and Yup will remember that. Please place me in the dont like and wont mention file and refrain from making comments about me online in the future. While I have no way to stop you, I trust that you will be man enough to do so.
And here I thought this whole blog entry was mocking my dancing….
Larry, I do happen to believe that a person can change a whole lot in 15 years. The middle-aged man that you are today (don’t worry, we’re all there, but hey, 40 is the new 30) is likely a far cry from the young man you were in your early 20s. No one likes to be reminded of their foolish escapades of youth. Like me making a fool of myself dancing.
I Googled you, Larry, and I gotta tell you, I envy you your hair retention. And apparently you don’t have to fight that middle age spread like Mlah and I do. Also, I was happy to see the success you’ve enjoyed in life, with your MA and teaching experience in Eastern Europe. Way to use that language training the government gave you!
And Mlah, looks like Larry won’t ever be sending you a Christmas card.
