F or 1997, the Duke insisted on having the celebration in Dallas, Texas. Nobody really fought or had a better place to have the party, so Dallas it was. This year the clan voted unanimously to honor the King with a T-shirt dedicated to his antics from the previous year. Thus the Co-Ed Naked Light Bulb Replacement theme was placed upon the shirt, and it was declared good by all.

T he party was once again a success. Several of the Duke's coworkers showed up to see what the party was all about. By far the most memorable guest, however, was one that El Gato dragged in. To protect the innocent, we'll call her Rebecca. Rebecca seemed to be obsessed with showing everyone at the party where her NIPPLE ring USED to be!! Unfortunately, nobody had the forethought to snap a photo any of the dozen times she decided to "share" with others.

A nd, yet again the King and Duke came up with a new event to torture the masses; Beer Chess. Basically, it was just the King and Duke playing each other and substituting drinks for points, but some peasant lipped off and the party was then divided into teams, each drinking when their appropriate master had to drink.

T his is what it's all about. Hanging out and having a beer in hand...
