Uncle Frank's Outer Banks 25th Reunion

Uncle Frank's Outer Banks
25th Reunion
July 16 - 23, 2005

"What? Sea Oats was washed away in a hurricane? Do you have anything else
that will hold nine adults and ten children?"

"I'm just dreaming about UFOB 2025. No more bunk beds. And we won't
have to share chairs".

"So Keith came down to the beach wearing a blanket as a ceremonial robe, and started
yelling,'Latecomers are not newcomers'? What the heck does that mean?"

Hugh catches Maureen off-gaurd with his hilarious Pirate Night outfit.

Then he puts on the mask.

"Abercrombie was down with the hat. But Fitch was all, 'No way.'"

The Mexican Night tradition of tequila shots was replaced with the more
child-friendly game of "Who can hold a chili pepper on their tongue the longest
without grabbing for the water bottle?"

"Since that tofu taco is about to be thrown away by someone else, it has already
exited the production-consumption cycle where money is used in exchange for goods."

"I call with a suited nine six. Then I pick up two more clubs on the flop, and actually make
the flush on the river. Then Frank shows me one of his cards--an ace--expecting me to
believe he has pocket aces. Then I say he can pick either of my cards and I'll show it
to him. Without looking, he folds, saying I must have the aces. When he sees my flush,
he shouts, 'Why did you stay in? You're ignorant!' I may be ignorant, but who's got three
magic markers, and who's dealing for tips?"

Hugh enraged the academic community when he presented this artist's rendering of the cave
from Plato's The Republic at a recent conference of Guys Who Have Graduated From College
But Still Study Socrates.

Hugh personally enforces the "no swimming until one hour after eating" and "you have to
stay in line, or you lose your place" rules.

At this quarterly meeting of the Hatteras City Council, the members voted
unanimously to change the name of the island to Cabo San Franko.

"This Lord of the Flies is good stuff. At the next house meeting, there are going
to be some changes."

"And that's why the girls call me G Grandpa."

"How many times do I have to explain it to you city folk?
The big fish is called the catch. The little fish is called the bait."

"And then Tupac signed an exclusive management contract with
Suge Knight. That was his big mistake, you see."

"Which was your favorite part? The ninety-minute wait, the blazing sand dunes and mile
after mile of telephone poles, or not being able to keep the drinking water down at the end?"

"Yes and, how many pirates must stand on my back,
Before they call me Bob Dylan?"

Say Cheese
