We'd like to live in the block on ML 3rd.
Block that kick! Block that kick!
SWIL is one of the building blocks of a responsible college campus. (We provide a counterexample? -R)

So's this for H&R Block or what?
<HR>
Block? So that's what they're calling it these days!

He smelled like peppermint and lime jello. His words were kind if you couldn't hear them. His propensity for humor made him most excellent target practice. We shall long mourn the passing of our dearly beloved who are gathered here today to unite in holy matrimony these two
</EULOGY>
Unfortunately the other two presidents forgot with whom they were dealing...

RETRY!

Aha! Have at you, knave!
Alas! Fie upon thee! A pox of chicken upon your children and your children's children and your children's best friend!

Do you by any chance have six fingers on your left hand? Why yes! Die scum dog! OH NO, Not again!
No, I have six fingers on YOUR hand.
That's not my hand!

Suppose that there exists an epsilon ball about a deleted region of the origin. <DEPRAVED> Why don't we have sex with it? </DEPRAVED>

It occured. Attendance was good. Food was good. Weapons were non-existant and therefore not good. But there WERE the darts... (Oops -A) There was game-playing. There was filk-singing. Much frivolity occured. Nobody lost an eye to a dart.

Many names were considered for the new administration. Some of the popular ones which were not chosen:

<UL>
<LI>Kill Kill, Hate Hate, Murder Murder Mutilate
<LI>James & The Giant Peach & Frank
<LI>Riki Tiki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip, Peri, Pembo
<LI>Kosh, Kosh, Kosh: We are all Kosh
<LI>WWI, WWII, Monday
<LI>Prisons, Madness, & Sexualitiy (French Lit 68)
<LI>Peter, Touch my nose, Wong
<LI>Who are you?, What do you want?, Do you want fries with that?
<LI>Werewolf, There Wolf, There Castle
<LI>Tupperware, Cockroaches, Thermonuclear Missle
</UL>

Our final choice was eventually made.
Mr. Erik William Rosolowsky shall henceforth be known as Abort.
Mr. Joseph Merritt Robins shall hencefifth be known as Retry.
Ms. Melissa Diane Binde shall hencesixth be known as Ignore.
Nobody shall be known as Frank, Fail, or Influence With Large Hammer.

Four horsemen of the apocalypse seen in New Jersey. Details at noon next Saturday.
</GIBBERISH>

Many signup lists. To quote: "Sign up to work! Less effort than wallet making in Burma! Just 6 hours per weekend!" (that's what they said! -A.) (They also said you couldn't build Rome in a day! -I.) (We'll show them HAHA! -A.) (No comment. -R) (Sure you don't want to try again on the comment, R.? -I.) (That joke is going to get old, isn't it? -F.)

Seriously: Sign up to work. Necessary. Need people. Mars needs women. No need subjects. Grammar not Zathras's specialty. See Andrea.

We need tables and chairs -- raid the classrooms! Or talk to someone in the college.

Need money from departments -- ask your favorite department to contribute! They all have money, we deserve it. See Andrea for a more politic way of getting it.

We need people to summon the press demons by getting their addresses. See Andrea. (you could guess that part by now -I.)

You might find her at otavia @ sccs.swarthmore.edu.

You might find her at oproppe1 @ cc.swarthmore.edu.

You WON'T find her at root @ att.com.

But you could try!

</SHOWING>

B5 shall be shown at 7:30pm in j7y's apartment as there were no objections (sorry, Elizabeth!).

None this week, however. First showing is 5 February 1997. That will be a new episode. Not a gnu episode. At least, we don't THINK so.... But with JMS, you never can tell....
