Beta Pi:
IS "BETA PI BLOG" JUNK E-MAIL?: 
E-MAIL FROM FRANK BILLER, April 24, 2008:
"Dear Larry and guys,
I get sooo confused on all this blog stuff. Larry's trains of thought have always been challenging for a simple boy from Davenport Iowa like me. So, I try to follow the blog despite a great deal of confusion. However, I have to give Props to Brother Larry on his Header/Screen Crawler at the top of the Blog. I mean- come on. a copy of the cover of "Thrasher" magazine with a pic of young 
There is brilliance in Brother Larry's insanity my friends. And he does have way too much time on his hands.
Kudos to you Brother Simons. You magnificent mad bastard.

I assume this has something to do with local Thai culture, years of alcohol abuse (Gin and tonic MUST be used in sub tropical climes to ward off malaria, monkey fever and other nefarious maladies) and/or something called "Thai Sticks" (not to start another controversey ala the Ted and Vinnie scenario).
Just as the Vietnamese Spin-f _ _ _ (edited, B.E.S.) chair has crept into all our bedrooms, I notice this coloquialism has creeped into Larrys lexicon on the blog.
RESPONSE SENT TO BUCK: Thank you, my friend. Your words remind me of the scene in Patton, where

XBG NEAL CRENSHAW, INTERNATIONAL TICK-A-LO MAN: It’s a good thing Buck brought up 
For those brothers new to the blog, 
There is a story behind that (see Archives, Vol.2007, No.17 ) but suffice to say, Neal has built (he’s a contractor who builds embassies) a beautiful 
Here are some shots of XBG’s 
As you may know, Neal issued a standing invitation to Tick-a-lo’s spanning the globe, to come vacation in his compound, where he has a pool, and recording studio. Marlon had suggested several of us charter a flight. Who knows?

Yes, and 
no! It is not this e-mail. This e-mail contains some written content of the "Beta Pi Blog", not the entire content. The "blog" is actually a web-site, it includes

Vinny Starr 
to trying a Quaalude during college - and after swallowing the pill, claims to have felt nothing, and prompting this question: 
gangster movies "Donnie Brasco" starring Al Pacino. And a scene in this movie provides an amusing answer to Vinny’s recent question:

things 
"spy." When I was a kid, my favorite TV shows were "I Spy" "Get Smart" "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and "Goldfinger" was the first James Bond movie I saw. These days, I love to watch The Bourne series, and C.I.A. movies like "The Good Shepherd" which are among the best cloak & dagger movies ever made, in my opinion.

I will be obliged to share this info with my fellow brothers.I look forward o your response in the near future.
part Scottish, and generally squeeze nickels 'til they spit out 2 cents extra). Ah yes, as we know, the "internet" is full of surprises. As a disclaimer (at the top of the blog), I warn the Brothers (and others) that Beta Pi Blog is not a "private" blog, it can be viewed by anyone savvy enough to follow a URL. And, being a trial lawyer, I have my hands full - frankly my dear I don't give-a-damn - you might say. I've spent untold amounts in therapy learning to "lighten-up." 
Vinauseous Starrinsky - he is my best friend, and I would die for him. If I have P.O.'ed you, I will sit in judgment alongside transgressor Starr at Alumni Star Chamber.

Earl Stover 
Hangin’ Judge Earl, has some good news - his daughter has been accepted at Vanderbilt! Apparently, she has not yet decided whether to attend. Here is the note 
Earl sent to me:
toga party was in progress. I think they had the same band we had in the day. They were wandering/stumbling about at full speed. They had erected a privacy fence of plastic bamboo for dubious security purposes. The roman columns were in peril of falling. They had beer and wenches aplenty. I wanted to stop but my wife would not allow it. We drove around the block and the KA's had a weak effort underway. 
me when you came to town, for the same reason she forbid you from setting foot in Tic Mansion. 
band party (see Archives, Vol.2007, No.55), and were all very polite (in spite of their condition). In my view, they’re a good group of guys. My step-daughter Maggie and some of her girlfriends at Belmont have been to a few ATO parties, and Maggie says the ATO’s have the best parties. Of course, my situation is a bit different - my wife lets me go to the Tic House, and enjoys going with me. Hang in there (no pun intended) my brother.
