Photoshopped! Just like Tom Jones over in the "What do you feel like saying" thread!

LOL, oh good lord, I just grabbed the first image that caught my eye in the google search, I didn't look that closely past the hair, missed the "action" south of the border. Woops!

Sure, sister - that's what they all say!;)

LOL. Yep, you got me, I am HOT for what Robert Van Winkle is packing in those red white and blue shiny knickers! He's so sessy! :p

You need to read more carefully.

I've seen Tom Jones, up close and personal, and he likes to grab his junk. I don't think he'd stuff and then manhandle himself while performing because if something fell out that could be super embarrassing.

I'm just saying...to the extreme I rock the mike like a VANDAL.

LOL. You win!

I also win at life because I have an antique diamond solitaire engagement ring, and I don't have to marry anyone to keep it, and also...I AM SEEING BARRY AGAIN NEXT MONTH. Jealousssssss of my floor seats?

I've been alternating between my Idi Amin and Tom Jones mug.

Holy crap, you DO win at life!!!

Are you going back out to Vegas or is Barry on the road and I am unaware of it? And not to get into a one-ups-man-thing with you, but *I* had floor seats to Barry too and I SWEAR he made eye contact with me during "Weekend in New England"! (I think the hubby got a little jealous ;))

Talk to me when it's Neil Diamond.

Like it has been said, the "brothel law" is a myth. You can't strike down a law that doesn't exist.

I lived in my chapter's house for 3 years. I loved it and couldn't imagine my Greek experience without a house. However, there are advantages to not having a house, assuming all sororities don't have one---it'd be a hard sell to be the only one without, and the change in culture may not be well received at every school.

A couple of things to inquire about:
1. Are other chapters interested in housing?
2. Do fraternities have housing?
3. Is there space to build sorority houses for all chapters?
4. What are the zoning laws/requirements to build a sorority house?

and of course, money:

5. Has your chapter been saving for a house? Would your National Housing Corporation contribute?

The University of Tennessee has been working on building housing for all Panhellenic sororities for at least 5 years now. So, remember, this is something that, even if it happens, you would not be a collegian to experience. Maybe you could get in touch with the Phi Mu chapter there and ask them about it?

I am seeing him in Spokane, but they are having deals this month at the Las Vegas Hilton, home of Barry Manilow! The bff has been in touch with the Fanilows. As a social scientist I find it fascinating, to the point I'd totally write a book. We're seeing him in Spokane just after my birthday, remember my secret Barry hookup (1 degree of separation from the man who writes the songs that make the whole world sing) ? ;)

I should send you some of the goofy pictures we took with his platinum and gold records, and in the Manilow store. I'm not the Fanilow as much as she is, but I go along for entertainment. You'd die at some of the Fanilow interactions I had, the Tom Jones ones were a hoot as well.

Well, she also needs to investigate whether there is an NPC Housing Compact in force for her campus. It may be that the national organizations have signed one and therefore it isn't up to an individual group to take this step. I strongly suggest that she contact her inter/national director of housing.

I sang backup -- on stage -- for Barry Manilow in a concert when I was in college.

Go ahead and be jealous. Does this mean I win at life? :p

This talk of "Ice Ice Baby" is cracking me up and bringing back some not so pleasant memories. My NM class wrote new words to "Ice Ice Baby" to perform for a competition between NM classes of each sorority. It was embarrassing to say the least. All I remember is, "Something grabs ahold of me tightly, Brothers and Sisters all around me nightly..." It was BAD! I don't know who had this idea, but I could have killed her.
