Legends have been passed down through the centuries about a work of literary magnificence, so unparalled in its wit and wisdom that the gods deemed humanity unworthy to read it. It disappeared long ago. So long ago, that many, for many years, have believed it to be nothing more than the stuff of fantasy. If you found an Ancient Greek who spoke English, and you asked him, "Does SWILNews #12 exist?", he would say, "No." But that won't stop your intrepid copresidents from searching for it anyway. In the meantime, you'll have to make due with this. *** SWILBusiness *** The rabble were disorderly. Monday was Bring Your Phone to Dinner Night. Many of us brought our phones to dinner. Gold even brought hers to lunch. Isn't Gold cool? (Guess who's typing. -s) Saturday was Walpurgisnacht. Many of us brought our walpugises. Er, rather, many of us brought stories to read. Gold brought her homework. Isn't Gold cool? (Not in this heat. -s) Rebecca Jingleheimer-Schmidt bought the food. May 12 will be Senior Remembrances. Many of us will bring our seniors. (Boy, when we find a good thing, we just stick with it. -s) (Over, and over, and over, and over.... -d) Actually, what we'll bring is fun stories to remember the dismemberees (even those not dismembered yet -g) (yay, Katrina! -s) of the class of 2001 by. These stories will be shared for the enjoyment of all. Yesterday was the day Franzi got in touch with the t-shirt guy. Many of us ordered our t-shirts. If you didn't, tough noogies. Saturday was also Movie Nominations. Many of us nominated movies. Guess how long it took for the usual argument about what counts as science fiction or fantasy to break out? (Whoever comes closest without going over gets this fabulous new goat! -g) (Fresh from Lord Julius' grave! -s) Keep an eye out for the email! Jim won confetti bubble bath. *** NonSWILBusiness *** There was an Easter Egg Hunt. No Easter Eggs were killed. Discussions are in the works to modify the rules, as whapping them three times on the feet is too difficult. Especially given that they have no feet. (Why, in my day...! -random alum) DanB and JC directed pieces for the Night of Scenes that happend over the weekend. Everyone recognized Arcadia. She may be showing "Monster Agogo" (or something very similar to that -g) during the next couple of weeks. If you have MST3K requests for next year, email her before then. Gold has a power extension cord from the Kegger. If it's yours, claim it. Andrea Stout is a 64-thousandaire. The second episode airs tonight! Kyra will be showing Blackadder Saturday at 7pm in Kohlberg 115. (I hope she's out of Worth by then.... -g) There will be a Roundsing soon. Stay tuned to the Fun list, most likely. The Yankees suck. The Mets suck. (Shut up, Will. -s) Ross has Farscape, except for season one. He would like to encourage people to randomly go watch it with him. DanB loves Gold. *** The ISDb -- 4/28/01 *** (The Information Services Decibel) (I want you all to know that "ISDb" stands for "International SWIL Database". I was very upset to see that Jim graffitied my attendance list. -s) Dan "Who's YOUR favorite palindromic Scandinavian band?" Blim (Mine's The People Persons. -g) (The Who. -s) (The People Persons. -g) (No, that's _my_ favorite. -s) (No, the People Persons are _my_ favorite.

The French are amateurs" Noda Rebecca "Walpurgisnacht money + millionaire tapings -- do you see a pattern?"
