351.0. "DAVE - the motion picture" by GOOROO::DCLARK (never compromise with mediocrity) Thu May 13 1993 13:57

    So, now they have a MOVIE out about a guy named DAVE. Great topic.
    One that hasn't been covered before. Although they should have used
    a 'real' Dave instead of some Dave stand-in. Maybe da_ve, with his
    experience in HLO safety training films, would have been a good
    choice (especially if it's an axe murderer-type of movie). Anyone
    seen it yet?

I'm not a Dave on film but I play one in real life.

...in fact, there's a recording of Patty Larking singing "Dave's Holiday"
with background vocals by "The Davettes"...

Yeah ... what a discovery ... great stuff!

Thanks to Ken Hannan for bringing me to that Country Joe show a couple of years
ago.  Country Joe is still a liberal hippie pinko Communist, and still plays
and sings great.  Gotta love it.

    Remember that night we saw County Joe at that club on El Camino.
    Ahh  '87 was a good year.

    re: .5.   Yup, I remember that night.  Country Joe sure had an electric
    look in his eyes when he came out for the second set :-) :-0 :-)!
    
    I'm still trying to figure this one out.  Barry Melton is the Fish,
    right?  So what was the name of the rest of the band?

If you can prove you're a Dave, do you get into the theater free?
351.12apparently Bob also believes in the power of DAVE! :^)ROULET::DWESTif wishes were horses...Tue Jun 01 1993 20:328

351.13your meeting is rescheuled Bob...SMURF::PETERTrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyWed Jun 02 1993 14:167
    I haven't seen that yet, but I did see the DVN boradcast last week
    where, IMHO, Bob and Dave were a hit.  I was going to mention it,
    but not being a Dave, it wasn't high on the list, and I guess it 
    slipped my mind.

351.14:^) i liked it!! no special prices for daves though...ROULET::DWESTif wishes were horses...Mon Jun 07 1993 15:1530
    well, this weekend my saturday plans got all jumbled up and i ended up
    with a little free time saturday night...   well, Rochelle and i
    decided to go check out the movie!
    
    if any of you are wondering just what being a Dave is all about, well,
    you simply MUST go see this film!  :^)  the hero (Dave, naturally)
    answers the call and performs admirably with his dave-ness shining
    through...  selflessly performing acts of grateness with no thought to
    his personal fame or reward, Dave makes the world a better place to
    be...  which, in reality, is at the root of all dave-ness...  :^)
    through thick and thin, good times and bad, Dave continues to "do the
    right thing" and enrich the lives of all he comes in contact with...
    Dave is witty, funny, charming, all the things the reviewers have been
    saying about it...  
    
    oh, another important point, the villains name is (drum roll please...)
    
    				BOB!  :^)  :^)  :^)
    
    
    		so, anyone looking to put a smile on thier face and further
    educate themselves on the concept of dave-ness, this movie is for you!
    
    and daves everywhere can now celebrate and rejoice in their daveness,
    for it is now recognized as being truly a beacon shining bright for all 
    to see!  :^)
    
    				yours in eternal dave-ness,
