It's the Viacom benefit ALPHABETICAL DISCO!

David Hepworth's picture

Welcome to this week's disco which is by popular acclamation a benefit for Viacom who are being driven out of business because some of their clips have been on YouTube. Anyway, there'll be a collection at some point in aid of their boss Sumner Redstone because he's down to his last nine billion dollars.

We have a format here. It's Alphabetical and the alphabet system we follow is as would be adopted by a record shop. That is, in the case of a solo artist, it's the surname. In the case of a group it's "B" for "Beatles" rather than "T" for "The".

I'm going first with Aerosmith. Who's next with a B?

Oops I peaked too soon

It's Hare's fault, sir. He was supposed to do "N", sir. And I was busy looking for my "O" in my satchel, sir, and thought he'd done it. I think a good board-rubbering is in order for Hare, sir, don't you, sir?

Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 4:36pm

Still waiting for N.

Some James Burton for teach in a weaselly attempt to get out of Big Trouble, that's just typical, Hare. I hope you get cuffed.

It's all Hare's fault, Mutt

He deserves to have his PE kit dispersed all over Big Side for this.

0
Archie Valparaiso | 4 July 2008 - 4:43pm

Yes, we'll jolly well roast him for this.

Six of the best, trousers down, and a radish where the matron won't find it.

Valparaiso!

Have you got something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?

0
David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 5:06pm

If he's not back in fifteen minutes...

...we can take a cut! Careful of Mr Lewry, though.

0
Lucas Hare | 4 July 2008 - 5:06pm

In this context...

Lewry does not qualify for the honorific "Mr".
Like most school caretakers he is known as "Old Lewry".

0
David Hepworth | 4 July 2008 - 5:10pm

Old Lewry

They say he never sleeps and eats ants in the janitor's cupboard.
