Jordan" Date: Mon, 30 Sep 1996 11:44:12 -0400 Subject: Alloy: Monya Maintains a Fine Tradition Monya - Glad to hear you've Dolby-fied your living space. Keep up the good work! Your poster anecdote reminded me of one of my college roommate/Dolby poster encounters back in the "days when dinosaurs ruled the earth." (I get the impression that you must be about a decade younger than I am - I turn 31 in a month.) While rummaging around in one of my favorite record stores in Minneapolis (Northern Lights) I found a screamingly big Dolby poster - just a head shot, with our fearless leader looking quite spiffy, wearing a microphone headset. I took it back to the Russian House (campus residence for neurotic Russian students) and immediately blu-tacked it up on the only empty wall in my dorm room... right above my roommate's bed. When my roommate returned that night - very late and pretty whacked on some sort of controlled substance - she flopped into bed - lights on, clothes on - - without noticing the new item gracing the wall. At about four in the morning, I heard this tremendous shriek and a colorful stream of invective that I will not relate in this genteel atmosphere. When I got up and my eyes focused, I realized that my roommate was rolling around, battling rather ineffectively with Mr. Dolby's head, which had slipped off the wall and was smothering the pixie-sized woman. The only printable thing I recall her saying was: "Omigod! Giant head! Giant head! Get it off me!" Needless to say, some poster shuffling took place the next day: TMDR got the wall above our desks, and the roommate *stapled* a poster of a rose on a piano (bleech) over her bed. Cheers, all.
