From acbrown @ sccs.swarthmore.edu Thu Apr 14 13:01:43 2005 Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 23:20:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Andrew C. Brown Reply-To: presidents @ swil.org To: swilnews @ swil.org Subject: SWILNews #N+1: The SWILNews that Andrew Wrote in his Sleep The SWILNews that Andrew Wrote in his Sleep [I want to claw my nose off; it itches -f] The lottery closed in a timely fashion with only four tickets distributed [He forgot to note that SWILMeeting was called to disorder -c] Jillian mused on the subject of Qian's sanity; she later attacked Mark. The meeting was duly called to disorder and the patheticness of the call was debated [Ha! Here's the call to disorder; and you had no faith in Kit's notes -m]. Andrew then peremptorily ended the meeting [Argument over pre-emptorily and peremptorily -c/m] [If I get a grammar e-mail after this is all over, I'm going to slap you -m] SWILShirts and Walpurgisnacht were mentioned. The latter is in Bond, April 30, from 10PM to 6AM or whenever we leave, or whenever we go to Bryn Mawr for longsword and sundry other fertile activities. Truly disturbing stories ought to be brought, to read to other people. The themes are, allegedly, fertility, horror, and because we feel like it (and have for many years, making it tradition), trees. Qian wanted to be screwed, but Jillian would kill her if so, said Andrew. [This didn't happen, did it? -c] [Of course it did; don't you remember killing people? -Jamison] [Jamisonian rambling; frankly, it's funnier if you make it up in your head] The Hitchhhhhiker's movie opens April 29th, and we discussed getting a van if there's a midnight showing. SWIL officially does not recognize "Alice Paul" Hall. We will continue to send our representatives to NuDorm until a better name is chosen. Like shirts, BEM could not be discussed, because Miriam was not there. It ought to exist at some point, so watch this space for further news! Or ignore us; we know you don't really love us. We know when we're not wanted. I'm going away now. [sobbing in the corner -the presidents] [um... andrew? the self-pity is getting kind of ridiculous -c] [what self-pity? where? -f] [But we need to know if anyone's reading this! -m] Specstupid, formerly Spec Weekend, is next week. We will have a table from 11:30 to 1! Help us set up from 10:30 to 11:30! Sit at the table and tell people how cool SWIL is! Come see Jamison, who is succeeding Jackie as Hot SWILlie to attract lots of hot guys to SWIL nect year! Or, alternatively, come see the hot guys that are coming to see Jamison. We will have one of Live Chess or Tic-tac-toe at the activities fair. Unfortunately, we have neither the resources nor insurance to run Live Connect 4 or Live Tetris. [Damn. I wanted to throw Specs off of Parrish -m] [Oh, that would be so coool -c] SFDT is allegedly R2-D2 vs. Boba Fett. [Watch it not happen -c] [Thursdays 5:30 in Upper Sharples; I'm not cynical! -c] Movie nominations will be at meeting a week from this Saturday (the 22nd). Voting will be on-line afterwards. [By e-mail, afterwards -c] [Yeah, we'd hate for someone to unethically use the on-line voting mechanism to skew the votes, now, wouldn't we? -m] Next week's SWILmovie is...Wizard of Speed and Time, the movie that everyone used to care about, but now no one does. Make it feel special again and come see it. Also, if you're supposed to make prop, do so. Then post it. It will make Jackie not kill people, and that makes everyone, except Jackie, happy. Dark Star is still STooPiD [Damn you, very pretty, but ultimately useless, notes! -m] Lottery: Ben won the lottery. He took the mystery bowl and won Love Dice. People tried to pressure him into rolling the dice, but Noda [actually, that was me -c] [it doesn't matter -m] handed him a d20, and he rolled a natural 20 on his will save. [And he wasted a really good 20. The bastard. -m] Non-SWIL Business The chocolate seder was Wednesday at 4:15. You missed a lot of chocolate. [Campaign spoiler: he is a dragon -Jamison] It is better than a chocolate Sager [Says you -m] Qian announced the Gamelan concert this Sunday at 3 in the Ampitheater. We think; the notes weren't particularly helpful. [Damn you, pretty but ultimately useless note-taker! -m] The Orchestra concert is this Saturday at 8. Jillian wants Mark to fill a red book full of useless sayings. [No, his FOLLOWERS have to fill the book with his useful sayings, like SQUISH! -c] [I've said it before... -m] The alternative religions meeting was/will be Wednesday at 2 in the ampitheater. ML/SWIL. [I don't quite get it -m] There will be a housing lottery. Next week; Bingo will be on Wednesday. [I don't understand your punctuation at all -c] [It's all right, no one's reading this anyway -m] Vertigogo had a 15-year reunion. We missed it. :( Ben played breakball, possibly with others. We called the meeting to order.
