Penn Six is going to be performing at the Committee of Seventy’s Annual Breakfast. Vice President Joe Biden is the honorable guest at the event. And there will be Danishes.

UPDATE:

Not only did Penn Six meet Joe Biden, but the tenors managed to score a point in Spinzies against the Vice President!

Here’s how it went down:

Step 1: Lingus walks up to shake Joe Biden’s hand.  He does so, vigorously.  The Vice President smiles, Lingus smiles, and the seeds of trust are sewn.

Step 2: Tolken shakes Joebiden’s hand, which is bare since the glove train has not yet arrived.  Tolken finds the veep’s secret service guards and approaches them, exclaiming “I’ve always wanted to be like you!”  The guards, thinking Tolken wants to be a secret service agent, begin to converse with him.  Actually, as it happens, the secret service men were African American, and Tolken’s exclamation was related only to their ethnicity and not to their profession.

Step 3: Bear walks up to shake Biden’s hand.  Since he is a dot-head, Biden wants to seize the chance to display his love of diversity.  Bear takes this opportunity to make a request.  ”Excuse me, Mr. Vice President.  Would you mind doing me a favor?  It’d be a great honor to me” he says in his best durka-durka voice.  ”Sure, son” exclaims Biden.  Smantis, being a new guy fuck, thinks Biden’s offhand comment means Bear is actually his son.  Begins furiously posting conspiracy theories for 5 or 6 minutes.  Bear, meanwhile, continues.  ”Mr. Biden, I promised my family that if I met you I would ask you if we could perform the traditional ritual for meeting important people (excluding Burnsey).  It goes like this: I hold your hand like a handshake, and then walk in a circle around you with you facing me.”

Step 4: Biden is confused.  He looks to Lingus for reassurance.  Lingus confirms Bear’s story, using the trust built up from their fleeting earlier meeting.  Lingus, in addition, offers Biden a Werther’s Original candy if he accepts Bear’s proposal.  This pushes Biden over the edge, and he agrees.

Step 5: Bear holds Biden’s hand, spinning the VP in place as he walks in a circle around Biden.  At the completion of 360 degrees, he lets go, and the tenors exclaim with joy, except for Schmoizie.  Where was Schmoizie?

Step 6: The group, with Biden in tow, searches for Schmoizie.  They find the new guy clutching a flower and gingerly pointing at Mayor Nutter’s nostril.  He asks, “Can I put this in you?”  The Mayor agrees, for whatever reason, likely taken in by Schmoizie’s sweet demeanor and love of diapers, which he shares.  Penn Six, Biden, and Nutter then engage in the first-ever documented episode of VPGMS.
