EXTREME CLOSE-UP!
Will Robertson and Jimmy Johnson weren't only timely last week in their portrayal of Wayne and Garth - the goofy heroes of the just-released movie "Wayne's World" - they were topical, too.
Last week, the William Byrd seniors gave the high-school student body a most excellent portrayal of the cable-TV spoofsters played by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey on "Saturday Night Live" and in the new movie.
No way, you say? Way.
Robertson (Wayne) and Johnson (Garth) made a video that was shown on the school's closed-circuit TV system as part of last week's statewide Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness Week.
It featured two dream-sequence scenarios: In the first, Wayne asks his father if he can borrow the car "to scope out babes on Williamson Road." His father agrees only if he promises not to use alcohol or drugs.
"Yeah, right," Wayne says. "And later on, monkeys will fly out of my butt!" Of course, Wayne partakes of mind-altering stimulants and - KA-BOOM! - wrecks. (Garth considers giving him mouth-to-mouth, but doesn't "because his breath is quite odoriferous.")
In the second scenario, Wayne stays straight, nobody hurls and everything rocks. The message from Robertson and Johnson: Party on - not.
