HURRICANE WILMA DEVESTATES FLORIDA - Shower Curtain Rod Saves Structure, Curtain
Associated Press
 FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Though dismissively referred to as “that other hurricane” by some news sources, Hurricane Wilma reaped extensive and widespread destruction across South Florida, costing over twenty lives, causing billions of dollars worth of damage, and leaving thousands without homes.
In response to this, PtQ philanthropists, Robert and Shea Roggio, have set up camp in Florida as Red Cross volunteers.
Robert Roggio is the retired Senior Vice-President of Zenith Products Corp., America’s leading manufacturer of bathroom storage and organizational products for the retail market. Shea Roggio, Robert's newphew, is a professional photographer.
Versatile Solutions for Modern Living
During a recent survey of the disaster area, the Roggio tandem discovered one battered dwelling of keen interest.
The roof of this particular house had been completely torn off and destroyed. Yet, the bathroom remained standing, its walls evidently secured by a metal shower curtain rod. Just as miraculously, the shower curtain itself, the style of which onlookers described as both “attractive and functional,” remained attached to the rod by a full set of plastic hooks.
The senior Roggio immediately recognized the shower curtain and rod, as well as the stylish plastic hooks, as having been manufactured by his former company, Zenith Products.
In light of this discovery, a petition is now being circulated around Washington calling for the federal government to finance the installation of Zenith shower curtain systems in all residences located in disaster prone areas, not only to strengthen the structural integrity of the buildings, but to improve the overall appeal of each home's decor.
Acting FEMA Director, R. David Paulison, has gone even further, advising victims of future storms to take refuge in their bathtubs, provided that their bathrooms have been equipped with genuine Zenith accessories.
Paulison has drawn criticism in recent weeks, however, after claiming that overcrowding in area shelters could have been avoided had more victims sought refuge from the torrential rains by wrapping themselves in plastic shower curtains.

WHOOPS - PtQ CFO Faces Charges of Gross Incompetence
PAVE the QUAD'S Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Peter Quinn, has come under fire recently amidst accusations that he allowed the rights to the “pavethequad.com” domain name to expire and remain unregistered for nearly three months. This “minor oversite,” as Mr. Quinn described it, not only shut down all access to the web site, but left the famous web address available to any putz off the street who wished to purchase it.
The embattled executive vehemently countered the charges, however, in an official written statement released last week. Mr. Quinn wrote that he didn't “give a fuk [sic]” and was preparing to clone himself just so everyone could kiss both of his asses.
Fortunately for us and for Mr. Quinn, our clueless adversaries missed this gift-wrapped opportunity to kidnap our precious domain name.
And we're back just in time, because we have absolutely no new content!
But fear not, loyal Pavers and Paveressas. The Shag Tournament is once again active, and the next All-Star Photo Gallery promises to be the most EXTREME yet, featuring never before seen images of the Roggio cousins' summer in Italy and the much anticipated wedding of beloved PtQ All-Star and Wake alum., Bryan Gregory Thomas, to Pennsylvania native, Kristin Volpe.
And in Italy bonus coverage, we are prepared to reveal the greatest scientific discovery in recent history. PtQ agents have miraculously captured on videotape the definitive answer to the age old question: How many Italians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Coming soon....
PRIMAL SCREAM - packafoma films Hired By Crooked Man
“Of all the crooked men, in all the crooked west, this man
was...the crooked-est.”
So says the intro track of The Crooked Man's latest
album, There Was A Crooked Man.
The Philadelphia hip-hop artist is currently working with packafoma
films to produce a music video for the album's single, Primal
Scream. With producer Shea Winter Roggio and director Dax
Mackenzie Roggio at the helm, most of the project has already
been shot on location in West Philadelphia. It is now in post
production.
2001 ROGGIO BOWL - Roggio's Remain Undefeated After Spectacular
Comeback
Provided By A.P. SportsWire - December 23, 2001
King
Of Prussia, Pennsylvania set the stage for the 2001 Roggio Bowl, the
Roggio squad's first appearance since their legendary rout of a hapless
San Francisco team in the 1999 Olive Bowl. The Roggio Bowl, held at
Rocket Sports Indoor Arena, pitted the championship Roggio's against
a team of local All-Stars.
In their first game on artificial turf in an indoor arena, the Roggio
crew struggled with little success against the younger visiting team
for nearly three quarters of play, before mounting an exceptional
comeback that left the game tied with only seconds remaining.
The visitors struck quickly, scoring the first three touchdowns of
the game against a Roggio defense that was mired in communications
problems. Meanwhile, the Roggio offense was haunted by free safety
Matthew Purdy, who made an interception early in the game and broke
up many plays throughout the day. Brian Yetter also picked up an interception,
halting another Roggio drive.
The Roggio's continued to show exceptional heart, however, epitomized
by Miah Roggio's dive over the boards and onto a concrete floor in
an attempt to track down a loose ball during the second quarter.
Determined not to lose, especially in a bowl game that bared their
own name, the Roggio's kicked it up a notch after the half, implementing
new offensive strategies and a zone defense.
Shea Roggio quickly turned the game around with a spectacular interception
that he returned the full length of the field, tumbling into the end
zone behind a Miah Roggio block.
The Roggio's soon scored again on a pass from Victor Roggio to Miah
Roggio, and with their defense back on track, they only allowed the
visitors to score two more times the rest of the way.
Nonetheless, as the last 15 minute quarter began, Team Roggio was
still down by what appeared to be an insurmountable score of 5 to
2. This was when Miika Roggio stepped up at wide receiver, catching
everything that quarterbacks Bob and Victor Roggio threw in his direction,
including two touchdown grabs.
With time running out and the score at 5 to 4, the visitors had a
couple of opportunities to put the game away, but found themselves
overwhelmed by the intensity of the swarming Roggio secondary.
In one crucial defensive play, Miika Roggio intercepted a pass deep
in the opposing team's end zone. This ignited a last ditch effort
to stave off defeat. After a gutsy drive down the entire length of
the field, the Roggio's found themselves in a fourth and goal situation
with almost no time left.
As the last few seconds clicked off the clock, quarterback Bob Roggio
dropped into the pocket and lofted a pass over the blitzing defenders.
Dax Roggio pulled down the pass to tie the game and promptly spiked
the ball, taunting the stunned opposition.
Although current regulations do not allow for overtime, Miah Roggio
later stated, "The momentum at the end of the game was all ours. They
were helpless and demoralized. If there had been an O.T., we would
have stomped on them."
Shea Roggio added, "No doubt."
PAVE IT FORWARD - Changing The World One Flyer At A Time
More than ever, PtQ's guerilla forces are spread throughout the world
engaged in highly subversive and vaguely magnanimous activities, both
clandestine and public.
As a result of the diversity of our operations, however, PtQ's Propaganda
Division is understaffed, overly intoxicated, and chronically unmotivated.
Because there's just not enough Prozac or Kind Bud to go around, we
have no choice but to ask our loyal followers for help.
Here's the plan: We're asking everyone who reads this to send out
PtQ flyers of their own design to at least three random Wake Forest
PO Boxes. The only requirement is that all the notices list our web
address, pavethequad.com. Otherwise they can say anything you
damn well please, or nothing at all.1
You can try using random PO
Box numbers. All you have to do is fill in the blank with a number
ranging from about 6000 to about 9800.

CALL IT IN - Secret Campus Phone Numbers Revealed!
From elevators to residence hall lobbies to library study areas,
Wake Forest University is riddled with random telephones. Though
most of them are unlabeled and unlisted, each of these extensions
has a number just like any other campus phone.
Several years ago our Winston-Salem intelligence forces acquired
a partial list of these numbers. After much debate we have decided
to release this list to the masses.

2nd ANNUAL OLIVE BOWL - Team Roggio Victorious
Provided By A.P. SportsWire - November 26, 1999
Once again, Los Olivos, California was the place to be on Thanksgiving
Day for west coasters of all latitudes. The event was marked by great
food, great fun, and a great big tepee. Although the celebration was
fabulous, many visitors came to see just one thing...football!
Winning by a score of 8 touchdowns to 5, the Roggio based squad led
from the first touchdown of this year's football championship and
never looked back.
While Los Angeles recruit Scott “Scoop” Bailey picked up much of
the quarterbacking responsibilities, Shea and Miah Roggio dominated
the backfield and constantly stunned the defense with short-yardage
1st down receptions.
Meanwhile Miika Roggio caught several 50-plus yard passes, including
three touchdowns. Being one of the most balanced teams of decade,
Victor, Miah, Dax, and Shea Roggio all made at least one touchdown
grab as well.
Catching the visitors by surprise, a walk-on to the Roggio team threw
two of their touchdown passes late in the game, while also contributing
as a long-range kick-off thrower.
The game turned ugly, however, when team Roggio was penalized 15
yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Dax apparently taunted the visitors
with the “cut-throat” signal, a move recently banned by the
commissioner of the league.
Defensive highlights for the home team included two outstanding interceptions
by Bailey, one of which was initiated by Dax's second tip of the game.
The opposing team was led by lighting-quick receiver Jon Spence,
who seemed to get open at will, but Michael Strohl's overall performance
at quarterback was plagued with interceptions caused by blitzing line-backers
Miah and Shea.
Defensively, Ryan Irwin led his team with two interceptions, while
Wade Davis and Jim Vinson made life tough on the Roggio receivers.
It was not enough, however, in light of the diverse strategies being
implemented against them.
Lastly, fans agreed that the most remarkable play of the game occurred
when Shea successfully called for the “long lateral” in an
exciting kick-off run-back.
When asked to comment on the game, head coach Victor Roggio responded,
“We just had too many weapons.”
