Dudes,
I thought you might enjoy this clip of a talk show host laughing at his guests. The topic for the show was medical procedures gone wrong and as you'll see, his reaction to a throat-surgery survivor is less than professional. Apparently, his show was canceled and his television career ended because of this one show. Enjoy.

Behold the Man
President's Message
Another successful Dude Squad meeting is in the bag thanks to Scott Silva and his dear wife Christy who was kind enough to allow ten dudes to roast strips of beef on skewers in her living room fireplace. The beef, I'm compelled to add, was marinaded in such a way as to leave me at a loss for superlatives to describe it. Suffice it to say the meat was transcendent. Pre-discussion chatter was lively and not entirely unproductive as we listened to Troy's adventures in China confronting guys with superfluous teeth and playing charades with the Eggman. We also enjoyed Bret's pictures of people with severely disfigured faces. Then we touched lightly on the 'woman question' and decided that reading women authors is permissible but a girl in the Dude Squad would just be too weird. Perhaps next month we should consider building a tree house with the appropriate defenses and signage. Also, we decided that it's ok for Leo to listen to audio books.
Scott initiated discussion with the question: what was the turning point for Greg Mortenson? A number of postulates were presented and some even questioned whether there was an actual turning point in his life. Discussion revolved around the man Greg Mortenson for most of the night and the general consensus was that such selfless service can open doors that most consider locked. We also considered the related topics of education (and decided that California teachers are grossly overpaid), US military involvement in Afghanistan/Pakistan, and earthquakes with Sam telling stories about how he used to impress girls in college.
Of course I'd like to mention our newest initiates, Brent Christensen and Richard Norman and thank them for their contributions and insights. For the record I want to mention all those in attendance on that dark and stormy night, January 21, 2010: Scott Silva, Leo Bunting, Brent Christensen, Richard Norman, Tyler Wilson, John Root, Troy Thorup, Sam Gilstrap, Trevor Beck and Bret Prawitt. Our next book was chosen by Leo Bunting: The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes. Discussion is tentatively scheduled for February 25 at Leo's house. Standby for more information.
Gentlemen, go forth and serve.

Next Meeting
The next official meeting of Dude Squad and Obscure Sports Society will be held at Scott Silva's house at 364 Oro Drive in Arroyo Grande on Thursday, January 21 at 8:00. We will be discussing Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. We will be in the back yard roasting things around the fire pit as we discuss so Scott asked me to remind everyone to kindly bring your own chair (B.Y.O.C.). See you there!
