HollySCOOPS the Story.

HollyScoop is a top tier entertainment/celebrity/style blog master'd by the lovely Diana Magpapian (UCSB '04). Lady Diana is not just lovely for her blog and her signature "shoutouts", but moreso because she dumped her "9 to 5" job working for the man and started a professional blog with friends since kindergarten Nora Gasparian and Ani Esmalian. Cool.

Today she SCOOPED the story from TheCHIMP.net and so I will just link to her review of last night's premiere party for the "944-magazine-come-to-life" show of partying and bros in LA that is MTV's TwentyFour-Seven.

Go Directly to HollyScoop's Report of another SpinShoppe Success.

Aye! Tarea! - Highschool Spanish Homework

Brooke Rappaport (Daled '05, Framingham MA '08) recently submitted a spanish assignment in which she was asked to write about her "hero". In honoring a tradition from last year, she submitted the project below. I dont know what to say as I am humbled, so I'll say "Yo soy halagado y lo agrdezco mucho." (google translator can help)

And its secretly one of my favorite songs also.

My Prom Date Goes All the Way

Congratulations to my prom date for making a great decision: Annabelle Richardson ’94 is engaged.

Annabelle (Cedar Rapids H.S. ’90-91, Deerfield ’94, Boulder ’94-95, Hamilton ’98, Imaginary Forces ‘current) may best be known as the only person to go from public school “pom-pom and pigtails” cheerleader to turn to sweater/megaphone/socially selective senior “cheerleader”….and a rare Iowa’n at prep school.

In the spirit of this news, please enjoy these photos of this year’s Choate Day Banners in the run up to DA’s “thumping” of Choate 31-6 (word of the month - Nov ’06) AT Choate on Saturday, November 11.

Elements of what appears to be an expanded spirit week included: “Everybody Wear Green” Day and a baffling Deerfield orchestrated re-baptism of Choate with some type of pig nick-naming..curious.

If anyone can shed light on the deal with the Choate pig thing, please email me.

The full wedding announcement is here.

UPDATE 12.10.06: Is a pep rally bonfire supposed to look like a terrorist attack? Weird.

Casey's Cable from Cambodia

If the tunes from the Dead Babbys have rung a little more hollow since Labor Day, it's because bassist Casey Brumels (Michigan State Univ ’98, MTV ’04, Nanny 911 ’05, Discovery Channel ‘current) has been on his own Amazing Race. In every corner of the globe, Casey's been directing an awesome new show for Discovery Channel called “1000 Places to See Before You Die”. He recently filed this dangerous dispatch:

Hello my brothas...

I had a day off a few days back and hopped in a tuk tuk and told him to take me to fun. In Cambodian, I guess “fun” takes place in an old army depot…For a mere 15 bucks, they assembled a hand grenade for me to throw into the pond out back. They hand you a grenade, tell you to pull the pin and throw it.

Click below to read the whole email....it's good.
Hello my brothas,

I had a day off a few days back and hopped in a tuk-tuk and told him to “take me to fun”. In Cambodian, I guess “fun” takes place in an old army depot about and hour outside of town because that is where he took me. We paid the "guard" at the gate a whopping $1.00 to let us in and we were off and rolling.

This old army depot has a cache of Vietnam era weapons just sitting there, with no one to shoot them and nothing to shoot at. So for a few bucks, they let me shoot them. I started off with an ak-47. When in Cambodia right? I squeezed off a few rounds before the helper guy stopped me and asked if I wanted to really have fun? Again because of language barriers it was hard to understand but he offered me a chicken for $10. )in an Asian accent) "moving target more fun" I agreed a moving target would be more fun but the thought of offing a chicken with an ak was a little weird to me so I said “no”. (Again in an Asian accent) ‘Ok, you want cow then?’ For 300, I could have offed a cow. Again, I declined.

I now know what charlie felt like shooting at us with an AK, and now I wanted to see what the US troops felt like so I had them pull the M-60 off the wall and let the bitch sing. Fully auto, I was working that target like [REDACTED] works a [REDACTED part of the human anatomy]. Good times, good times.

I squeezed off a couple rounds of some 9mm Russian handgun. I held it side ways and called the target a dirty bitch as I was shooting it. IT was cool.

A Marathon of Misconceptions

Sometimes people who are the same age, who pursue the same exact profession, and who share the same social profile, have different notes of their similar personalities muted or blasted.

A casestudy:On a recent "Send/Receive" session in Outlook, I received emails from two friends...and I will blast them both.

LT Thompson (Deerfield '94, Williams '98, Insight Express '99, Capitol Concepts '01): First to the altar, first to change a diaper, first alumni cheerleader to be banned from his prep school campus, only friend of TheCHIMP.net to own a oft ridiculed piece of sitdown lawn machinery, LT Thompson remains the pinnacle of productivity.

LT's news: Deerfield Tri Team Captain LT completed the 26.2 mile course of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC in 4:25 with energy and spirit to spare on Sunday, October 29. After, he showed off the Georgetown Campus (steeples pictured at the top) to his wife and daughters.

Meanwhile.....

Criminal's News:
From the Miami wing of TheCHIMP.net readership, Criminal realizes significant misconceptions he has given his maid - an unintenional self-indictment. The email text reads:

There's no question that my cleaning lady either
a) thinks I'm crazy
b) thinks I'm gay or
c) thinks all of the above.

Here's what she finds when she cleans my place:
Multiple wigs
Rocket launcher
Kite
Caveman bone
Pink Shorts…socks, headband, etc. In my room, several other random costumes ... Makeup in my bathroom (Cleveland Indians eye black) ... Cut up fur vest ... Rabbit ears .... Picture of me naked in shopping cart (which she nicely placed on my nightstand) .... Pictures of me on an oil rig .... A stuffed animal ....baby chimp (which she always places on my bed nested upon the pillows) .... Other men's clothing .... Lots of empty liquor bottles Condom wrappers (btw not mine...they're for sailors) And a box of candy that says "I'm not a tranny"

The Class of October 2006

From the mouth of Criminal Mike:

What do two producers from LA do when they get tired of making reality TV shows? Pack up, leave their apartments on Sunset Blvd vacant, and move into their friend’s living room on South Beach and matriculate in bartending school. Neither intend to actually bartend, but this was the only productive daytime activity they could imagine

Bobby P. and I sacrificed 5 hours a day of beach patrol for 2 weeks to pass our final exams: "Make me a Cosmo, 2 kamikaze shots, and a roasted toasted almond....1 kool-aid shot..etc"

Add a new credit on to our list of Academic Achievements .... Deerfield .. Syracuse .. MTV .. Congress .. Jackass .. Executive Producers .. Production Company founder...and ABC Bartending '06
As always, the best part of any school? The graduation party!






A produced sunset pool party, we enjoyed VIP attendance with Gonzalo (Sharon, MA H.S. '93, Syracuse '97, MTV Bus Development 'current) and Rappa flying in from the west coast.
Whitney Valins (Tampa Prep '02, Cornell '06, Miami Med School '10) chose this special occasion to make her overdue South Beach debut. (Pictured Right) Tampa Prep's headmaster is ex-Deefield faculty member Gordon McLeod
