Pam’s Debut

Party up! I had plenty of fun, and I’m sure everyone else did. We sipped on tea, watched Junior walk around, and then the food came out. I decided it would be a good idea to take small portions of the food on the Sterno heaters. After seeing so much space left on my plate, the carver would slap a massive chunk of prime rib onto it. That was the plan at least. Instead, the exact opposite happened and the carver probably thought I was a small eater and gave me a piece the size of a deck of cards. Seconds came and I was a happy boy again.

Next were the ceremonies for the eighteen roses and eighteen candles. There was also a video slideshow where we all got to see Pam grow up. More important, though, is that we got to see Retro Chris. A few people sang to Pam, then came time for our feet to hit the dance floor. Jason, Maggie, and Danielle did the Thriller dance from 13 Going on 30. It was faded quickly when Jamie broke it down over Ocho-Ocho. Slow motion for us.

Karaoke started off with a bang with Pam’s My Heart Will go On. Curt and Cindy stole my jam and did alright, I guess. Jason was wonderful tonight. I had to say it. Curt’s solo got the top score of the night, but everyone knows those scores are backwards. After all, these two guys only got a 72 after they grabbed the microphones and murdered it on A Whole New World. The guy singing Jasmine’s part was ravishingly fine.

Overall, it was definitely a fun night. And I forgot to mention the cake. It looked like a wedding cake. Bridges and a fountain connected four or five round cakes. That’s cool and all, but the fatso awesome part is that three were cheesecake.

This has nothing to do with anything, but Jon told me a joke. A magic tractor turns into a field. Nevermind, I forgot how the rest goes.
