We were honored at our second meeting to have Diane Long '00 and
her friend since the 2nd grade - Michelle Luporini '00. Between
the two of them they probably have more beanie babies than all
of the school put together! They have gone wild collecting them,
and they brought some of their best to show to us today at our
get together. They shared a bear that none of us had ever seen
or heard of before. The name of this particular bear was "Lil Pukey"
It was about the size of Curley being of a light puce color, and when
you squeezed it, it gave out a belching sound and threw up some plastic
pelits in your hand. Wow! Most of those in attendance thoght it
was gross, but some thought it was "cute".
Brandi just picked up Mystic and left the meeting mumbling under
her breath somthing about crazy beanie collectors. We hope that she
will come back to our next meeting.
I personally do not think that Pukey is or would be a great seller. I do
not like the color puce because it sounds too much like puke and I do not
like the idea of a bear throwing up like that. That happens too much
around our house with our cat. Oh well. Oh well. Neither Diane or Michelle
said much about where Pukey came from except that it was in a package
with some other animals that an unnamed store just got in. They
said that it was a gift to them because they had done so much business
with that store, but we think it might just be a trick that they were
trying to play on us. We all brought our favorites, but "Lil Pukey"
certainly stood out from the rest. Come on young ladies. what kind
of a sick joke were you playing on us today? Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
