The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
The Weekend in Atlanta Edition.
5... Meredith Q. Responding to my asking the pilot if we could do a fly by of the tower like in Top Gun, she said "Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full". That is funny. (Still one of the funniest things I've ever heard)
4... Josh and James, who dared to get onto a plane with no parachutes, after they had to jump off the battery.
3... Steak and Shake. Gosh, I love that place.
2... Chess Cake, or more specific, Steph Campbell's Chess Cake. Its some good stuff.
1... Emily Eldridge, who opened up her home to us even though bizarre roommates forbade us to touch their stereo equipment.
Just missing the cut: Lady Marmalade, Jason Q, Wax n Facts, Taco Mac and Erin. (for the record, I learned how to say that French phrase in the song from "Lady Marmalade" on this weekend... Steph Campbell taught me... and I don't know what Wax n Facts is...)
The Spotlight Haiku
Continuing in our series of Spotlight Haiku shining on Deuce History Month, this is the sixth. The seventh, and then final installment of this series include the David Dollar Haiku, and a cute little DeuceFest haiku by Vic Paschal. But this time... here is a Haiku just for The Deuce...
The Deuce. The best there
is, the best there was, the best
there ever will be.
This Week's Top Ten List
Top Ten Things David Mark Osborne Is Glad He's Not Doing Right Now
10... Caressing industrial pipe valves
9... Taking a casual stroll through Kosovo
8... Hearing that oh-so familiar music from the hit motion picture Black Dog.
7... Dusting off his commemorative "Bosom Buddies" plate collection
6... Slowly and methodically hacking off his foot with a butter knife.
5... Wiping counters at a proctology clinic
4... Washing his hands in a urinal
3... Telling Stefanie Jovanovich about washing his hands in a urinal
2... Working on Factor 7's Michael Bolton's tribute album.
1... He'd rather do just about anything than read this, I'm sure.
Top Ten Christian Albums of All Time,
as voted on by you, the DW audience.
We now move up to number seven on our list of all time Christian albums. Here are Amy Anderson's favorite cds: "Jesus Freak", dcTalk; "Much Afraid" and "Jars of Clay", Jars of Clay; "Life, Love and Other Mysteries" and "Steady On", Point of Grace.
Number Ten - Craig's Brother, "Homecoming"
Number Nine - Third Day, "Third Day"
Number Eight - Nichole Nordeman, "Wide Eyed"
Number Seven-Caedmon's Call, "Caedmon's Call"
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first get a CD, I read the lyrics along with the song, until I have it memorized. As I looked through the words, one phrase stood out to me, and always does. Its from "Lead of Love" [the opening track], "...and how you've made good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery..." That gets me everytime. Even as I type this, my eyes blur with unshed tears, as my heart is filled with joy and overwhelmign gratitude. It's words, phrases, and thoughts like these, that make this CD what it is. Caedmon's Call has never been one to "sugar coat" anything. They tell you like it is, then show you His grace, mercy and love through songs of praise, adoration and encouragement. I've listened to this CD more times than I can count, but everytime, He's shown me something new. Funny how that works.You can talk to most any 20-something and they'll tell you how great Caedmon's Call, is.... but you don't have to take their word for it. Find out for yourself, if you don't already know. (Meredith Quintana)
{Merdi's review has been edited only for space purposes... for the full, unedited review (its very good), please email tanguy2001@aol.com. Thanks-ed} (It was about a page long... no, I don't have it anymore. But it was good)

Deuce History Moment #6
Its time for another moment in Deuce History...
So, like this didn't happen at the Deuce, it was in the Apartment, but one night, Shawn was goofed around with Lauren, and she was all freaky-deaky, like usual. She actually jumped on top of me while I was laying on the couch and bit my breastorial area. Bit. Very weird.
Anyway, so Shawn kicked her out for being obnoxious, and she came to the window of the bedroom that Mikey and Shawn shared. And Lauren is kind of a big girl. So, she starts banging on the window, yelling "Come out, Shawn! Let me in! I want to talk to you!". With the street lamp's orangish glow behind her, her shadow looked ten feet tall, so it looked as if there was this ten foot monster, arms wailing, banging on the window. Mikey curled up on the bed, I stood in the doorway frightened, Shawn cursed at her, finally went out and they both left. Crazy freaknik.

Hey! Tastes like chicken!
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute.
Okay, in a follow up to last week's IICBSFAM section, I read today that Timothy McVeigh actually did meet with a priest right before his execution. His last rites were read, something that has to be asked for by the prisoner. Only God knows if McVeigh really meant to pray for forgiveness (it was totally contradictory of everything he'd said so far) or if it was for show, but I thought it was encouraging anyway. Thought I'd share.
This Week's Top Ten List
Top Ten Signs The Deuce Needs to Be Cleaned (topic chosen by Stefanie Jovi)
10... Sarah asked "What died in here?!" and we showed her.
9... There's suddenly an added scene in the hit motion picture Black Dog where Charles S. Dutton has a dust reaction and dies.
8... Michael wins the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, but Ed McMahon refuses to leave the van.
7... The so-called "dust bunnies" have sharp snapping teeth.
6... The Deuce gets hit by a twister, and it actually looks cleaner.
5... Earl takes one look at Shawn and Tom's bathroom, and heads for the pool instead.
4... Shawn mourns for days when one of the stains in the toilet he worked so hard to build is cleaned away.
3... Every time you turn on a faucet, you hear a muffled barking sound.
2... Bounty paper towel commercials suddenly have the line "Its the quicker picker upper... unless you live at 2715C, where there is no hope."
1... We've been recieving death threats from Mr. Clean.
Top Ten Christian Albums of All Time
We are up to number eight on our list of Christian albums, voted on by you the people. But first, here's some of Ashley O'Neal's faves, in no particular order:"Much Afraid", Jars of Clay; "Free at Last", dcTalk; "Sonic Flood", Sonic Flood; "Without Condition", Ginny Owens; "Candycoatedwaterdrops", Plumb.
Number Ten - Craig's Brother, "Homecoming"
Number Nine - Third Day, "Third Day"
Number Eight-Nichole Nordeman, "Wide Eyed"
Her lyrics contain valuble insights into the Christian's walk. The recurring theme seems to be a desire to know Christ and be shaped to His image. This is seen in both the opening prayer "To Know You" and the closing surrender of "River God." The songs in between struggle with this issue as well, but also deal with deep insight into the Christian faith. The lyrics, written by Nordeman, seem real and genuine to the listener, like her heart is in her songs. (Hillary Kelly)

Deuce History Moment #5
Time for another Deuce History Moment
Okay, so like, remember when The Deuce Weekly was coming under fire from Valleydale Baptist Church and some of its leaders? And when Michael fired off an email to the pastor, from an anonymous email account? Only, when he set up his anonymous email account, he filled out the information part with his name and such? Yeah, that was really funny.
Join us again later for another Deuce History Moment.

2… Ryan and Tanya Smith’s house

The Spotlight Haiku
June is Deuce History Month… This is our fourth in a series of Spotlight Haiku, shining the spotlight on the residents of The Deuce. This week we honor Michael Nipp, with a haiku written by the Deuce First Lady Steph Knipp.
Mike rub your tummy
Bounces like a tennis ball
Watch out, Andre A
If I Can Be Serious For a Minute…
This morning at 8:14ET, the government held, via lethal injection, its first execution at a federal level in a long, long time. Timothy McVeigh blew up a building in Oklahoma City in 1995, and in my opinion, he deserves to die. In my opinion, he deserves to die a much more painful death. Stick him in a chair and put some dynamite in his pocket. Of course, that’s just my opinion. Is that a wrong attitude? Yes, it is.
Who am I to judge him? Yes, he caused the death of 162 people. But God loves him. And God would forgive him just as much as me asking forgiveness for not tithing like I should. So this week, when you hear all the hoopla surrounding his execution, and you hear cries denouncing execution (I still support it) and cries wanting him to die much more horribly than a needle filled with poison, say a prayer. The Bible never said you can’t become a believer if you kill over a hundred people at one time. Pray for healing of the victims, pray for the victims themselves… and pray for Timothy McVeigh. You never know what God might have done in his heart at the last minute.
This Week’s Top Ten List
Top Ten Amys, Stephanies, Stefanies and Ways to Wash Your Car, in no Particular Order (I just cracked myself up)
10.. Amy Anderson
9… Amy Wible
8… Stephanie Knipp
7… Amy Dennis (blast from the past alert!)
6… Stephanie Campbell
5… Stefanie Jovanovich (saw her the other day at starbucks)
4… Use a hose and a rag
3… Stephanie Crook (another blast from the past alert!)
2… Amy Valdmanis
1… Amy Vos
The Top Ten Christian Albums of All Time
At number ten on our list was Homecoming, by Craig’s Brother… over the next nine weeks, we’ll be doing our countdown of your all time favorite Christian albums!
Scott Latta’s favorites: 4) Steven Curtis Chapman’s Signs of Life; 3) dcTalk’s Jesus Freak 2) dcTalk’s Free at Last and 1) Steven Curtis Chapman’s Great Adventure. (Part of me wonders if this has changed by now)
Number Ten-Craig’s Brother-Homecoming
Number Nine-Third Day’s debut album
Says Drew Morris:
Third Day brought a sound to Christian rock that had never before been attempted (or at least, never was achieved). Their first album contained hits like "Consuming Fire" and "Thief" that are still just as popular as they were 5 years ago when it was released. But more importantly, that album (and it's popularity) showed the world that not all Christians sound like Twila Paris or Chris Rice.

Deuce History Moment #3
On this day, June 10th, 2000, four men began to move their stuff into 2715-C Briarberry Circle. Tom Johnson & Shawn Sharp went to the far bedrooms, on the Wook Wing. Michael Nipp and Yours Truly moved into the first two bedrooms, on the Laz Wing. It took five guys to move the washer and dryer upstairs, it took four to move the Sony Trinitron upstairs.
And this is where it began.
On this day, six years ago, the Deuce was born.
This has been a Deuce History Moment.

Deuce History Moment #2
Its time for another moment in Deuce History:
So, like, this one time it was Shawn's week for garbage... see, like all the guys each had chores each week--garbage, dishes, clean up and one week off, and they rotated each month. Well, Shawn didn't take out the garbage and it was piled up the wall. Michael got mad and piled it all in front of Shawn's door late one night, after Shawn had already gone to bed. When he opened the door the next morning, the garbage fell in on him. Oh man, that was really, really funny.

Deuce History Moment #1
In celebration of June being Deuce History Month, I bring you this moment in Deuce History:
Once, Tom obtained a lizard named Malcolm. He was a three foot iguana (Malcolm, not Tom). He crapped on the table and it looked like runny snot. (Again, Malcolm, not Tom). Malcolm crapped on the new couches once. Mikey didn't find out until much later. Thank goodness for Scotchgard.

COST? A mere Three Dollars (reduced from five!)… three bucks will get you all the amenities DeuceFestDeuce has to offer, including the pool, ice cream, fellowship, and food… we are doing hamburgers and hotdogs now instead of shrimp (way too expensive)… if you want to bring your own steaks or chicken to grill out, you are welcome to do so, we will grill it for you! Grill done by Vic and Ken.
In Concert?
Stephanie Knipp is now headlining DFD, with Justin Glenn also performing. Ashley O’Neal opens up, while Sean Hall and Steph Campbell make a special musical appearance. The sounds of DJ Phrenzy will roam through the air all through the night!
PLUS…. THE DEUCE WEAKEST LINK…. Goodbye! (Because I can't remember my comments from week to week here, I might have already said this... but we didn't do Weakest Link. We did Deucenaire again--still a hit)
COMMON GROUND BBQ
The night of July 3rd, on into July 4th, we are calling on everyone to come help out! Common Ground is selling BBQ to pay for the mission trip to Seattle in August. The BBQ is $8 bucks a pound, and you can help by either selling tickets for BBQ bags, or by coming this night to help chop and assemble the BBQ. We need your help! Contact Sybil@datacrest.com for more details.
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5… That poor Barbie… anyone at Jodi’s pool party will know what I’m talking about. (This was a Barbie doll that somehow ended up in the pool... and in the hands of Josh Crosby. Need I say more?)
4… Cheese Fries… Lone Star’s are okay, Wings are a little better… Outback still rules the cheese fries genre.
3… Meredith Q, extracting revenge by soaking ribs in hot sauce for someone else… quite funny. (I vaguely remember this... I do remember it was darn funny, whatever it was)
2… Emily Eldridge! We miss her when she’s gone, but you know she’ll be back soon. (She's gone. Hasn't come back)
1… Jodi and her home… Thanks for opening up your house to us for the whole day!
The Spotlight Haiku
June is Deuce History Month… June 10th, as a matter of fact, is our one year anniversary! This is the third in a series of Spotlight Haiku, shining the spotlight on the residents of The Deuce. This week? Our psychotic cat Fisher has the spotlight… written by our own Michael Nipp.
We Can’t Hardly Wait
Fisher, Fisher, we love you
Shawn does more than most
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
By the time you read this, 80+ high schools and leaders will have been at the beach several days, and 80+ middle schoolers and leaders will be getting ready to head to the beach for camp… Pray for the believers, that they may grow stronger… pray for the non-believers, that they may hear the truth… and pray for the leaders that they may have strength, patience and compassion for God’s Word.
This Week’s Top Ten List
Top Ten Names if The Deuce Family were Star Wars Characters (man, this was funny to me)
10… Gingreedo
9… Justin Justin Binks
8… Oblack-Dog-Nobi
7… Boba Nipp

5… Queen Amidavidmarka
4… Wookiee… wait, that’s his real name

The Top Ten Christian Albums of All Time, as voted by DW Readers
Our poll is complete, and over the next ten weeks, we’ll be giving you the top ten favorites of the readers of the Deuce Weekly….
Hillary Kelly’s favorites? 5) Nichole Nordeman’s This Mystery; 4) Point of Grace’s The Whole Truth; 3) Watermark’s Debut cd; 2) Jennifer Knapp’s Kansas; and 1) Nichole Nordeman’s Wide Eyed.
Number Ten on the DW List:
Craig’s Brother, “Homecoming”.
Says DW Reader David Mark Osborne: "Homecoming is an incredible CD because it steps outside of the jarring, rebellious, and sometimes even shallow world of punk rock to create a masterpiece of insightful lyrics, tight, powerful vocal harmony, and energetic story telling. Inspiring melodies soar over rapid guitar licks and furious drum beats to create a barrage of sound that takes the listener deep into the emotions of the singer. It may be one of the greatest punk rock accomplishments ever." (I'll admit this much... #s 10 thru like, 8 didn't get a lot of votes. I think this cd got maybe 3? It was the top 7, especially the top 5 that racked up the votes... I still haven't a clue who Craig or his Brother is)

DW Special:
by DW correspondent Earl Salser
The Deuce has taken over Broadway… here are a few of the new shows appearing recently:
Deuc-I-cal The Musical
The original and best according to most critics. Seven years and running, this excellent production tells the story of how the original four Deucesters met and transformed a humble apartment into a phenom known as The Deuce. Lyric Theater. Available. (I love how on each one, Earl puts the theater, and how hard the tickets are to get... just hysterical)
The Pro-Deucers
Currently up for eleven Tony awards, including Ty Coffey for best supporting actor, the continuing adventures of the Deuce which introduces many of the current supporters of the Deuce way of life. The Orpheum. Difficult.
Les Deucerables
The tragic tale of what happens when four Tetris addicts battle a sleepy Wookiee for the couch. Includes Drew Morris singing "Tetr-cide", and the famous "Do You Hear the Wookiee Scream?". Broadway Theatre. Available. (This is my favorite one... the "Do You Hear the Wookiee Scream?" joke is one of the top 20 funniest things I've ever heard)
Cats II: The Fisher King
Continuing the success of the "Deuce" musicals storming Broadway over the past few years, this darker one deals with "Fisher", the cat of the Deuce household, and how she uses microtransmitters to control the brain of Malcolm. Special appearance this month only by DJ Frenzy. The Oberon Theatre. Available.
Miss Deuc-gone
The newest of the Deuce musicals, still in preproduction but opening in August, the true story of Steph Nipp, first lady of the Deuce, and her adventures in the strange land of Carson-Newman. Opens at the Disney/ MGM theatre in August. Difficult.
The Deuce' s Tommy
Not to be confused with The Who's Tommy, this tells the story of a satellite Deucester, Tommy McLeod, and how he develops a way to play computer games with a trombone slide. The Scrushy. Difficult.
Hope you get to catch some of these shows.
Thanks to Earl for that stirring piece of art culture… have a great week, catch you guys in the update!
