Entertainer Archive

I've got a good entertaining story:

Come 'n listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor Mountaineer barely kept his family fed
An' then one day, he was shootin' at some food,
An' up thru the ground came a bubblin' crude.
Oil that is! Black gold! Texas tea!

Well, the first thing ya know, Jed's a millionaire
Kin-folk said, "Jed, move away from there." Said
Californy is the place y'oughta be, so they
loaded up the truck, and they moved to Beverly.
Hills that is! Swimmin' pools, Movie stars!

Oops wrong one. Here's the real entertaining story:

Here's the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.

Here's the story, of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own,
They were four men, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group would somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch.
The Brady Bunch.

Darn it. And now,the real entertaining tale:

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny Ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour.

A three hour tour. [ sound of thunder: crack! ]

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would be lost.

The Minnow would be lost.

The ship's aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his wife,
A movie star, ( and the rest ) the Professor and Mary Ann,
( All ) Here on Gilligan's Isle!

So this is the tale of our castways,
They're here for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

The first mate and ( his ) the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In their tropic island nest.

No phone(s)! No light(s)! No motor car(s)!
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson C-ru-soe, it's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile,
From ( For ) seven stranded castways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."

Good post John.

I was a member of the less-than-famous band Eternal Heart back from launch. A few people may remember Leppy and his Coff33 B33r from that time as well. Leppy had finally found a large Corellian house south of Coronet to make into a cantina (no player cities yet, or cantina buildings) and had stocked his vendors finally with the (then broken) chef food and drinks. Half the chef line was broken due to no milk and no eggs yet. It was a long time ago... ...

Anyway, so he was ready to open his club officially; Leppy's Lounge. He had been running missions on Dathomir for someting like 2 weeks with his guild getting the prize money for his brawler match and lotto he was running for the opening party. It was a friday night party and two of the biggest PA's on Corellia both showed up. One rebel and one imperial. There were minimum 200 people at the party, half probably didn't even get inside the Lounge. I wasn't a master yet and I was playing Kloo horn I think. With maybe 10 people (12 I think) in the band, I was getting 80-90 xp per tick on ballad I think from all the people watching and listening to us.

It was insane, I have pictures. We were all in uniform and people kept asking to join the group but we had to turn them down since it was a paid gig and we were kind of exclusive at the time . I think as a band we made like 200k in fees and tips for the band (which went to buying our PA hall and uniform repayment, etc.) and I made something like 50k myself.

After about 2 hours of bandflos and comments like "this is the best band I"ve seen in the game to date" and synched lights etc., we went outside for the fireworks display. We played along with the fireworks and shot off some more lights.

I was great to get all the people dancing and hear all the comments on the show we were putting on. I have a screenshot of the guy saying we're the best he's ever seen, and one of Leppy's Lounge so packed with people that you could feel the heat in the room thru the computer screen. People were in every chair, on every couch, at the bar, outside, sitting on the ground, in every room in the house, and Leppy was running around like a madMon Calgiving away free Coff33 b33rs to OoD and BK and everyone who showed up.

Again, nice post and thanks for the positive thread. Three cheers for the hardest working Rodian in show business!
