4… Krista McBroom. See, I didn’t forget you!
3… The fact 25+ people showed up on Friday night for Pearl Harbor. Rock.
2… Stephanie Campbell. Thanks for hosting the Campbell’s Souper Mmm Mmm Good Memorial Day Dinner, surpassed only by…
1… Ken and Lynn Nipp. Lunch every Sunday after church, and this time it was a feast! Thank you so much!
The Spotlight Haiku
June is Deuce History Month… June 10th, as a matter of fact, is our one year anniversary! This is the second in a series of Spotlight Haiku, shining the spotlight on the residents of The Deuce. This week? Tom Johnson gets the light on him. This haiku was written by our own Michael Nipp.
Tom da Preacha Man
Kick, Chop, Punch Karate Fan
He loves critters too
If I Could Be Serious for a Minute
The only thing I am requesting in the space is a request by Shawn… if anyone has a stand alone cd burner, not the computer burner, we could borrow/rent for one day (DeuceFestDeuce, July 7th) we would be so appreciative to talk to you. Contact Shawn at shawngs@bellsouth.net.
This Week’s Top Ten List
Top Ten Ways to Mispronounce Meredith Quintana (This was one of my all time faves...)

The Deuce Weekly, 5/22 - 5/28/01 (Summer Preview!)
Vol II, Iss I
5/22-5/28
THE SUMMER PREVIEW ISSUE
In this issue, which is longer than most, so be warned, the editors of DW have decided to give you a preview of all the major events coming up between now and September. Also, we begin our series of Spotlight Haiku on the Deuce members, plus Dave’s Top Ten Summer Predictions. Without ado, I give you the first annual Deuce Weekly Summer Preview… (as I re-read this issue, I laughed numerous times... was this really five years ago??)
Coming Up:
TONIGHT, SOFTBALL AND PROJECT 86…
Tonight at Herdmont Park, Common Ground is playing a wacky game of softball for anyone with any talents whatsoever. Meet at 5:30 at The Deuce to carpool, or come out to the park, off of 119, around 6:15-6:30 to play. More info? Email Sybil@datacrest.com
Also, Project 86, Living Sacrifice and Stavesacre will be in concert at Five Points Music Hall tonight. For more details of times and such, contact Michael at nubjubjr@aol.com
THURSDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY…
Just a reminder, this Thursday at 6:30, our weekly entrance into the presence of God via Sybil’s house. For more details, see the above email.
PEARL HARBOR ON FRIDAY…
The Deuce will be going as a group to see Pearl Harbor this Friday, May 25th, probably to the late show. Don’t be foolish and show up at 9 to get a 9:30 ticket… it will be sold out, I promise. Bring your $7.50 to me during TNBS or this week sometime and I will go during lunch on Friday and get a ticket. Bring the amount needed or be ready to sacrifice 50 cents because I probably wont have change. First come, first serve, and absolutely no “get me a ticket and I will give you money on Friday night”. If you are planning on getting your ticket on Friday on your own, email me that day to find out the time that everyone will be going to…
MIDNIGHT BREAKFAST, FRIDAY, JUNE 8th...
For 2 bucks each from midnight to 1am, come to The Deuce and enjoy the tastes of The Crosby Show and Dave’s Pancakes and Waffles, this time with a much more extensive menu than last. We pulled in 35 people last time… lets shoot for 40! Doors open at 10:30, Coke, water, milk and OJ provided, coffee bar opened at 1am.
WALKABOUT: ON HOLY GROUND DINNER THEATER, JUNE 29th AND 30th
Besides Common Ground, The Deuce and Ashley Judd, my other obsession lies with the middle school drama team I direct. This is the 2nd annual dinner theater that we are putting on, and I hope to see all of you there. Tickets will be about $5 apiece, for dinner. If you only wish to see the show, that will be free! Times TBA.
DEUCEFESTDEUCE… SATURDAY JULY 7th…
Simply the biggest party you will find at Rollingwood on July 7th, I promise you! Our plan is a shrimp and crawfish boil, cooked by the hands of Vic and Ken Nipp. In the Deuce Café we’ll be serving up the coffee and ice cream. Cost is $5.00 per person, cheaper than an afternoon movie, for all you can eat, all you can handle.
In concert… The Mix of DJ Phrenzy… Ashley O’Neal… Justin Glenn… Stephanie Knipp… Dave the Drama Guy.. Drew Morris and Friends… and our newest game, The Deuce Weakest Link, one prize, one winner… now can you dig that? (So, I don't think we played Weakest Link... I can't remember what we did--perhaps Deucenaire again?)
LE PERC at COMMON GROUND, SATURDAY, JULY 14th…
Common Ground takes on a French Café appeal as we hold a great coffeehouse night. Come for music, poetry, song, dance and great food and coffee. Times TBA.
SO LONG STEPH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4th
Stephanie Knipp is our Deuce First Lady, and we love her so. Sadly, she is leaving us in the fall to go away to school, but we are excited about the new direction God is taking her in. So, make plans to join us at The Deuce as we say goodbye (for now) to our beloved First Lady, the original Deuce Diva. You’ll hear more about this in weeks to come, and in the July 30th DW, the Steph Knipp Edition (this event is soon to be called StephStock, and the DW Stephanie Tribute Issue comes the first week of August)
THE DFC II BEGINS, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1st
The DFC? The Deuce Football Championships… before you laugh, just know that the DFC is open to anyone and is a rigorous 15 week season of football pickings and choosings, predictions, surprises and excitement. Anyone outside of the DFC can tell you how obnoxious it was… and anyone inside the DFC can tell you how awesome it was. Shawn Sharp was a wire-to-wire number 1 last season… and he thinks he’ll do it again. Oh, and DeRamus has already issued a challenge to all. (by the way, I'm taking some time to do major work on The DFC blogsite--I really want to put up everything, so watch for that)
Stuff to take note of Coming Soon:
*June 10th, Sunday… Life Connection at Valleydale begins our study on Song of Solomon… great for singles, all about the Lord of life, love and other mysteries. (PoG reference intended)
*June 15th, Friday, Ecclesia Church downtown is hosting Travail in concert.
*June 16th, Saturday… Watermark in concert, Kindred Bookstore
*June 20th-23rd… AtlantaFest in Atlanta, Georgia. Contact Michael for more info.
*July 20th-21st… Youth Evangelism Conference with Salvador, LaRue and Becca St James in concert.
*August 4th… Furnace Fest at Sloss Furnace
*August 7th… N’Sync in concert
In the Fall and Beyond
*September… Survivor III kicks off from Kenya, Africa
*October 20th… DeuceNight, our first semi-formal
*December… Jill takes her diploma from Auburn U!
*December 22nd… It’s a Wonderful Deuce Christmas
*February 2002… Deuce Date Party II
*Summer 2002… Matt and Ginger get hitched.
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5… Run DMC. I didn’t go, but I heard enough good things about it to warrant a ranking.
4… Amy Wible’s graduation cake. It looked okay, but it was so freakin’ good to eat.
3… Shrek. Good movie. I personally think Eddie Murphy steals the show.
2… Steph Knipp’s simply groovy new haircut.
1… Silvertron Café. This little café in Clairmont, being led to it by Jimmy, was awesome. They had cheese logs… not cheese sticks, but cheese logs. (I took a date to this place once. It was nice. The owner was recently shot and killed. Very sad)
The Spotlight Haiku
On deck for their own Spotlight Haiku this summer are Osborne, Sarah Hasha, Jodi Nelson, Earl Salser and many more… However, since we are approaching June, the one year anniversary of The Deuce is upon us… so, its fitting that June is declared Deuce History Month! In the next few weeks, we are going to spotlight Tom, Michael, Malcolm, Fisher and The Deuce in a special series of haiku.
This week… The Haiku goes to Shawn, written for us by our friend Leslie Cordell.
Shawn, such a hottie
All women wish to be his,
Yet all get the shaft.
If I Could Be Serious For A Minute…
Hey, if you think about it this week, say a prayer for Ginger in Chile, Matt who’s going to Belize, Ross in California, Rachelle in Russia and Nathan in New Zealand. Pray for safe travel, pray for God’s hand… and though all of these trips aren’t necessarily mission trips, anytime we are around non-Christians, it’s a mission trip. (nothing's changed, really... at least for Matt & Ginger)
This Week’s Top Ten List
Dave’s Top Ten Summer Predictions
10… Dave forgets what he’s doing in June and puts out a top ten list that has no reference whatsoever to the hit motion picture “Black Dog”.
9… Frustrated with trying to get into Samford, Michael Nipp turns to Montevallo… where he doesn’t become a student, he becomes a night professor, teaching the new class “The Films of Will Patton.”
8… The full moon in August causes a strange happening, as in one single evening, Vic passes up free ribs, Sean Hall decides he’s too tired to pray and Drew Morris plays Jewel… for four hours.
7… Common Ground is shocked, though editors at DW weren’t surprised, when Jennifer Pritchett is arrested in August for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Bombing. Apparently her quiet spirit front could only hold off the FBI for so long, as they soon discover her two alias names: Eric Rudolph and Joey Buttafuaco.
6… In June, David Mark Osborne is kicked out of Factor 7 for sharing his plans for the band to do a Yanni tribute album. Osborne joins with Tom Johnson and they form the duo “Ex Facto 7”.
5… Extracting revenge, Malcolm sneaks out in the middle of a hot June night and eats a sleeping Wookiee, leaving only a four pound hairball. Tom is upset only until he realizes there is a whole week he doesn’t have to feed Malcolm.
4.. Fed up with the way things are run in Samford’s SGA, Ty Coffey organizes a coup of the government in August, putting himself in power, with a new system of government… Ty-talitarianism. (Man, I thought this was one of the funniest things I'd ever written... no one else laughed)
3… After hearing her sing at DeuceFestDeuce, a talent scout tells Jennifer Knapp about Steph’s voice. So impressed is Jennifer that, in an effort to be more like Steph, she cuts her long hair and then drops the “K” from her name to become Jennifer Napp.
2… Playing Tetris one fateful day in July, Tommy achieves 16,428 lines in a sprint game. A mere ten seconds later, Tommy’s head blows up from overload. Michael is happy there is scotchguard on the couch to prevent stains.
1… In June, Sarah wins a million dollars in a McDonald’s contest, and we all spend a week in Tahiti.
Be a Part…
After resisting, I’ve been urged to put all call out for another haiku. We’ve done Tom, Michael, Shawn, Fisher and Malcolm… now, I guess it’s my turn. Send me your best Dave Dollar haiku and we’ll make sure it gets printed in June! Remember, a haiku is three lines, with five syllables in the first and third line, and seven in the middle line.
The First Ever DW Poll…
Response has been really good, I’m happy to say. One more week to left.. we are asking for ALL TIME FAVORITE CHRISTIAN CDs… YOUR TOP FIVE, or YOUR TOP TEN. The countdown begins in 2 weeks!
Removal…

Now, don’t be a silly goose and show up at 8 wanting to get ticket to the 9:30 show… it will be sold out. If you can bring your $7.25 during TNBS or a few days before hand (bring the amount needed, or sacrifice 75 cents, I probably wont have change) I will go during lunch on Friday and buy as many tickets as I can. First come, first serve. Please, no “get me a ticket and I’ll give you money on Friday night”. That’s why I’ve given you plenty of time to take note.
DeuceFestDeuce… 54 Days Away
It’s the biggest party you are going to find at Rollingwood Apartments on July 7th, I promise you!
Our tentative plan, depending on cost, is an all you can eat shrimp and crawfish boil. How will we do it? We aren’t sure yet, but we’ll figure that out later! Plus, in the Deuce Café, we’ll be serving up “personalized” ice cream sundaes and treats! Cost right now is a mere $5.00 at the door for all you eat, all you can handle. Tell your mama. Tell your friends. Tell anyone who can comprehend. Send it in a letter, baby tell it on the phone… if you don’t show up, I know you’ll be alone! (we’ll miss you much)
In concert: Ashley O’Neal… Justin Glenn… Stephanie Knipp… Dave the Drama Guy
and a our newest game, The Deuce Weakest Link… one prize, one winner. Can you dig it? (okay, so we didn't do the shrimp or crawfish, it was too expensive. And we didn't play Weakest Link. But darn it was a blast anyway)
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5… Stefanie Jovanovich’s VW Beetle. For those of you who haven’t seen it, it’s a 1973 VW bug. It rules. (Funny--would you believe I saw her today, five years after she was mentioned here in the DW?)
4… Earl Saucer… Just a neat guy.
3… Audrey Hepburn… A real classy lady from way back when.
2… The graduating seniors. Congrats to you, welcome to the DW.
1… Superman II’s battle scene over Metropolis. It doesn’t get any finer than Superman vs. Non, Ursula and General Zod… unless, of course, it’s the Star Wars Death Star battle. (Funny--a month before Superman returns in Superman Returns. I'm prophetic)
The Spotlight Haiku
The spotlight Haiku is a feature that spotlights one person every week, someone who is loved by The Deuce. We still need more haiku for Shawn and Fisher! Come on folks, show the love!
This week’s haiku is dedicated to one of my best friends, in honor of her graduation from Alabama… we salute Amy Wible!
My friend Amy is
godly, funny… she’s awesome!
And really cute, too.
(yes, yes she was)
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
This Saturday, Ashley O’Neal is working at the Alabama Pro Life Coalition Yard Sale. It’s from 7am to 3pm this coming weekend.

Or, if you are absolutely bored this weekend, maybe you could help out! Call Ashley O’Neal at 980-1191 or 444-7784 for more details.

Pearl Harbor
Here’s the most anticipated movie of the summer… and we are getting the group together to go see it. The Deuce will be going as a large group Friday, May 25th, to the late show to see Pearl Harbor at The Summit. Don’t show up at 8 wanting to get a ticket for the 9:30 show, because it will be sold out. If you can bring your $7.25 during Thursday night bible study or a few days before hand (bring the amount needed, or sacrifice 75 cents, I probably won’t have change), I will go during lunch on Friday and buy as many tickets as I can. First come, first serve. Please, no “get me a ticket and I’ll give you money on Friday night”. (Were tickets ever $7.25? Oh, FYI--this was the movie that that I learned to never say "I'll get your tickets and wait for you outside the theater...")
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five Of Everything… PCB Edition
5… Ashley O’Neal. Your version of “Trinity” was a great rendition of a song I used to not care for. (very true. after this weekend, "Trinity" has become one of my favorite J-Knapp songs)
4… Merdi Q. “On The Verge” is the poem. You guys should read it. Again. And again.
3… Saturday. How much more can you ask for in terms of weather?
2… Emily, Derek and Brad. New or fairly new faces we enjoyed seeing. (I miss Emily... and Derek was her stalker. And who the crap is Brad?)
1… Sean Hall. Your prayer on the beach ruled.
The Spotlight Haiku
Don’t forget, we are accepting haiku for Shawn and Michael for printing in the June DWs! This week’s haiku spotlights a very good friend of The Deuce… We salute Jill Berthon!
Jill Jill Jill Jill Jill
Her name just rolls off the lips

If you missed the weekend in Florida, it was great. Lots of time of prayer and great fellowship. Thanks to everyone who came and made it what it was.

Top Ten Things You Didn’t Hear Said This Weekend in Panama City From…
10… Josh Crosby: “I don’t have much energy right now.”

8… Wookiee: “Oh, look at those kids throwing water balloons. They are so sweet… I love children.”
7… Stephanie Campbell: “Geez, I’m almost as dark as Dave!”
6… Drew Morris: “Of course I’ll teach you how to play Jewel, Snipp!”
5… Sean Hall: “Hey guys, to be honest, discipleship is really not worth it, so don’t worry about it, okay?”
4… Sarah Hasha: “Ten o’clock is so early… I’m going to be up until at least one or two.”
3… Sybil Johnson: “Honestly, I’m really not that excited about hearing Rick.” (That being Rick Stanley, Elvis' cousin)
2… Eric Wade: “You know, I think I’ll sit over here, as far away from Ashley as possible.” (That being Eric Wade, Ashley's stalker)
1… Brooke Belcher: “Look Ellen! We’re early for the session!” (Story: Brooke & Ellen showed up late for eeeeverything that weekend, including a later water ocean romp with a very scared Josh Crosby)
Be A Part

(I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in a movie than I was in this one... I mean... this movie really, really blew)

The Spotlight Haiku
The haiku written by DW Correspondent Stephanie Nipp
This week was initially going to Tom Johnson, but that has been postponed to the first week of June, which is Deuce History Month. However, in honor of Matt and Ginger, we decided to throw the Haiku to them. We salute you!
Matt and Ginger, hitched
Small kids, black hair and blue eyes
Latta swing her way
(I still don't get this joke...)
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
All joking aside, congratulations. The ring is spectacular, the bride-to-be is beautiful, the groom-in-waiting is awesome, and The Deuce and its extended family wish you a great year of engagement!

10) Boutros-Boutros Ghali
9) The San Diego Chargers
8) Salmonella poisoning
7) Meatloaf’s bolo tie in the hit motion picture “Black Dog”.
6) A left sock filled with Amy Valdmanis’ foot sweat
5) If you travel down 31 from The Deuce towards the Galleria, on your left, there is a Books a Million and Schlotzsky’s and such, and if you turn into that shopping center there, you’ll see a Chick-fila, and if you go into the drive-thru, there is a sign with a chicken on it that says “Employees only” on the door in the back where I’m guessing the employee’s go through… well, number five is that sign.
4) This ½ pint of chocolate milk I’m drinking right now
3) An old 45 pressing of “Head to Toe” by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam
2) A box of C-3P-Ohs
1) Pickles and Ice Cream (nothing to do with it at least until a few months after they get married) (oh, but now? Ha!)
The Michael Nipp May Guide to CDs

Point of Grace “Free to Fly”-May 1st (after the ugly chick got married, they just lost something)
Avalon “Oxygen”-May 22nd (they haven't had much luck either)
Hangnail “Facing Charges”-May 22nd (I'm not entirely convinced Michael didn't make this up)
Katinas “Destiny”-May 8th (I think they were called Salvador later...)

Be A Part:
June is Deuce History Month, and we are setting aside the month of June to honor Tom, Shawn, Michael, Fisher and Malcolm in a series of Haiku. Tom’s Haiku has been selected and will run the first week of June. We are still accepting all submissions for Michael, Shawn and one Haiku for Fisher and Malcolm. A Haiku is a Japanese poem with three lines… 5 syllables in the first and third line, 7 in the middle. Turn-ins have been low, so you guys need to pick it up! Put your creative gowns on and give me some haiku!

Pearl Harbor
We are planning on going to see the most anticipated movie of the summer! The Deuce will be going as a large group either on Friday, May 25th or Saturday, May 26th, probably to the late show of either. Tickets will be sold out, so don’t show up at 8 for a 9:30 show expecting to get a ticket. Next week’s DW will give you full details of everything, including how to get your ticket! (I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in a movie than I was in this one... I mean... this movie really, really blew)
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything… Having to Do With Ginger Thomas

The Spotlight Haiku
The haiku written by DW Correspondent Stephanie Nipp
This week was initially going to Tom Johnson, but that has been postponed to the first week of June, which is Deuce History Month. However, in honor of Matt and Ginger, we decided to throw the Haiku to them. We salute you!
Matt and Ginger, hitched
Small kids, black hair and blue eyes
Latta swing her way
(I still don't get this joke...)
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
All joking aside, congratulations. The ring is spectacular, the bride-to-be is beautiful, the groom-in-waiting is awesome, and The Deuce and its extended family wish you a great year of engagement!
