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!)

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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?)

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.

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
Say it with me: Jill!
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
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.
This Week’s Top Ten List…
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.”
9… Michael Nipp: “I’d much rather be watching the hit motion picture Black Dog than be sitting on this beach.”
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

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!
The First Ever DW Poll…
Response has been pretty good… so keep ‘em coming! We are asking for your favorite all time Christian albums. Not something you like because you bought it last week, I’m talking something you aren’t sure you can live without. Give me your top ten all time!

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
Say it with me: Jill!
If I Can Be Serious for a Minute…
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.
This Week’s Top Ten List…
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.”
9… Michael Nipp: “I’d much rather be watching the hit motion picture Black Dog than be sitting on this beach.”
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
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!
The First Ever DW Poll…
Response has been pretty good… so keep ‘em coming! We are asking for your favorite all time Christian albums. Not something you like because you bought it last week, I’m talking something you aren’t sure you can live without. Give me your top ten all time!

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
5… Nice smile
4… Very Godly chick
3… That ring is really shiny.
2… Cool pool table in her basement.
1… Have you seen her dad’s sports car? It rules
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!
This Week’s Top Ten List…
Top Ten Things Having Absolutely, Positively Nothing to Do With Matt and Ginger, Their Relationship or Their Wedding in Any Shape, Form or Fashion, As Far As the Editors at the Deuce Weekly are Aware Of…
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

And will wait on you
If I Could Be Serious For a Minute:
This is from Emily in Atlanta who asked me to post this, for anyone who has a heart for foreign missions:
They are in need of singles to teach k-5 school children and couples to be house parents in Indonesia. If you are interested in either thing, please [Contact DW] ..and I will send you more info about the program. It is an awesome way to be a Christian witness to the Indonesian children and families. Emily is waiting on more info on the exact dates, but I think summer help is needed as well as long term help. Both positions are salaried with full benefits. (anyone remember Emily Eldridge? She was the sorta hot chick who was friends with Amy Valdmanis, and ended up being just as good friends with us... she had the Star Wars on laserdisc that belonged to her roommate in Atlanta, which Tommy and Mikey Nipp molested when we all went to visit Emily and Steph Campbell one weekend... last I heard,m Emily was living in California, probably hiking the west coast barefoot)
This Week’s TopTen List…
(Okay, so this was one of my all time favorites, if only for the Thug Life comment, and I felt like I got crickets from the audience on this one... nary a comment, an email, or anything about it. Disappointing.)
Top Ten Things the Muppets Could Do to Appeal to Today’s Teens
10) Popular Muppet changes his name to Notorious B.I.G. Bird
9) Rumble scene with the cast of South Park where Gonzo shanks Cartman
8) Sesame Street now sponsored by the number 3 and Colt 45
7) To save hostages Miss Piggy and nephew Robin, Kermit takes to the road in a big rig, hauling illegal weapons for crime-boss Meatloaf in an epic called “Black Frog”
6) Cookie Monster writes a tell-all book about his struggles with an eating disorder
5) Bert and Ernie guest star on “Friends” in a comical love triangle with Phoebe.
4) New fuzzy purple Muppet named “Ritalin”
3) Scooter openly complains about the guy with the arm up his bum
2) Fozzie gets “Thug Life” tattoo on chest
1) Elmo is beheaded
Be a Part:
June is Deuce History Month! We are wanting to give Haiku to Tom, Shawn, Michael and the two pets, Malcolm and Fisher (as one haiku), and we want you to do it! Next Monday will be Tom’s Spotlight Haiku.
Up next is Shawn Sharp… you have until May 7th to get in Shawn’s Haiku, to be featured in the 5/14 DW. Remember, a haiku is a three line poem with five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven in the second line. Put your poetic Asian caps on, and submit your Shawn Haiku!
The Puzzler
The answer to last week’s Puzzler…
It was in the Silver Box. The fact that only one inscription can be correct means that the only one the COULD be correct is the Periwinkle inscription. If the Gold was correct, that means Silver’s was correct, and that can’t happen. That rules out all but the Silver box. So Ashley’s pic was in the Silver box, with the correct inscription being on the perwinkle. Congrats to Meredith Brazzel, who got the right answer about 15 minutes after I sent it out.
New Puzzler next week!

(Okay, so this was one of my all time favorites, if only for the Thug Life comment, and I felt like I got crickets from the audience on this one... nary a comment, an email, or anything about it. Disappointing.)
Top Ten Things the Muppets Could Do to Appeal to Today’s Teens
10) Popular Muppet changes his name to Notorious B.I.G. Bird
9) Rumble scene with the cast of South Park where Gonzo shanks Cartman
8) Sesame Street now sponsored by the number 3 and Colt 45
7) To save hostages Miss Piggy and nephew Robin, Kermit takes to the road in a big rig, hauling illegal weapons for crime-boss Meatloaf in an epic called “Black Frog”
6) Cookie Monster writes a tell-all book about his struggles with an eating disorder
5) Bert and Ernie guest star on “Friends” in a comical love triangle with Phoebe.
4) New fuzzy purple Muppet named “Ritalin”
3) Scooter openly complains about the guy with the arm up his bum
2) Fozzie gets “Thug Life” tattoo on chest

Be a Part:
June is Deuce History Month! We are wanting to give Haiku to Tom, Shawn, Michael and the two pets, Malcolm and Fisher (as one haiku), and we want you to do it! Next Monday will be Tom’s Spotlight Haiku.
Up next is Shawn Sharp… you have until May 7th to get in Shawn’s Haiku, to be featured in the 5/14 DW. Remember, a haiku is a three line poem with five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven in the second line. Put your poetic Asian caps on, and submit your Shawn Haiku!
The Puzzler
The answer to last week’s Puzzler…
It was in the Silver Box. The fact that only one inscription can be correct means that the only one the COULD be correct is the Periwinkle inscription. If the Gold was correct, that means Silver’s was correct, and that can’t happen. That rules out all but the Silver box. So Ashley’s pic was in the Silver box, with the correct inscription being on the perwinkle. Congrats to Meredith Brazzel, who got the right answer about 15 minutes after I sent it out.
New Puzzler next week!

If I Could Be Serious For a Minute
Nathan Tutor has laid down the challenge, to Fast. This Thursday is praise and worship night, so if you feel God leading you to do so, you are invited to some sort of fasting on Thursday in prep for deep worship that night. Or, you might want to fast for the week. Talk to Nathan if you have “fasting” questions, its much deeper than giving up a meal or skipping caffeine for a day.
This Week’s Top Ten List…
Top Ten Best Things about having Sean Hall’s height
10-You can better relate to a tall Patrick Swayze in the hit motion picture Black Dog
9-Something satisfying about knowing you are exactly three times the height of Amy Vos
8-You can look like The Rock to people who can barely see
7-Don’t know if you know this, but its much easier to make a basket if you are like, really, really tall
6-Thin air around your head gives you that woozy, peaceful feeling
5-Easy to stay awake driving when your head is sticking out of the sunroof
4-You have a breathtaking view of all the bald spots at Valleydale
3-You can hit the big and tall stores with Vic
2-Get to go by the sadistically ironic nickname “Tiny”
And the number one best thing about being as tall as Sean Hall:
Tall Women!

June is Deuce History Month! We are wanting to give Haiku to Tom, Shawn, Michael and the two pets, Malcolm and Fisher (as one haiku), and we want you to do it!

A haiku is a three line poem with five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven in the second line. Put your poetic Asian caps on, and submit your Tom Haiku!
New Feature!
The Puzzler…
Each week, I’m going to throw out a little puzzle. Your job? Figure it out. First one to send me the correct answer wins, and the winner and answer will be announced in the next DW.
This weeks Puzzle:
Our Fair Maiden Ashley
The king wants to marry off his lovely Princess Ashley, but must find an intelligent suitor for her. Not just any cute, but stupid brute will do, he wants to find a cute, smart brute. So the king devises a test. Young Knight Michael comes in to try his hand at the hand of Ashley.
Here is the test:
On the table are three boxes, one is gold, one is silver, one is periwinkle. Inside one of these boxes is a lovely picture of our fair maiden Ashley. Knight Michael’s job, without opening the boxes, is to pick the box with her picture in it.
On top of each box is an inscription. The gold box says, "Ashley's picture is in this box." The silver box says, "Ashley's picture is not in this box." The periwinkle box says, "Ashley's picture is not in the gold box."
The King gives Knight Michael one hint, because as it stands, he can’t figure out the puzzle. The hint? Only one of the inscriptions is correct… making the other two, duh, incorrect.
So… which box would give Michael the chance to marry Ashley? That doesn’t mean he wants that one, but your job is to find the box with Ashley’s picture and why?
You get the answer next week, send all guesses to this email address or to Tanguy2001@aol.com

The Deuce Weekly, 4/10 - 4/16/01
Vol I, Iss VIII
4/10-4/16
The DRL (deuce request live) Top Five of Everything
5… Tiger Woods, Master of the Masters. He won again, by the way.
4… Ashley Dekker. Did you see the size of the Common Ground newsletter? It was huge!
3… Ecclesia. Out of Matthew 16:18, it’s a small new church in downtown B’ham. Very trendy, very cool.
2… Opening Day. The boys of summer are back.
1… Ty Coffey, taking another step today towards owning Samford, and that much closer to World Domination.
Easter Plans:
For those of you not sitting with family, or with no family around to sit with, here’s my preliminary plan. This is tentative, so don’t carve it in stone just yet. Meet at the Deuce at 5pm, and we can all go out to eat somewhere. We can all go to the church afterwards and sit together for the 7pm service. For those who don’t want to eat, just meet in the lobby at 6:30.
Afterwards, come back to The Deuce where we’ll have a special screening of the production “Stephen”. While not an Easter story, it is the modern retelling of the martyrdom of Stephen, and trust me, you’ll get a lot out of it.
Coming Soon:
*Friday, April 20th, Common Ground afire! Come on out to Meredith Quintana’s house, as we set things on fire and have a great time of fellowship.
*Friday, April 20th, all night, Meredith Q wanted me to announce Chick’s Night at her house, all night movies and makeup and talking about boys and playing MASH and all that sissy stuff.
*Saturday, April 21st, during the day… play the day away at Oak Mountain!
*Saturday, April 21st, at night, Supertones, Reliant K and Switchfoot in concert! Metro Church O’God
*Saturday, April 28th, The Dove Awards at The Deuce. Well, not actually at The Deuce, but in Nashville, but come to The Deuce and watch it with us.
*Sunday, April 29th, Life Connection luncheon at The Refuge, after church.
*May 4-6, Common Ground goes to PCB. Prayer, worship, women. Christian women are righteous babes, remember that.
