WMAS Newsletter #15

"Usually elections aren't based on who looks best in a black mini-skirt."

In Washington D.C., Framerates and Family Forever an extremist anti-anime group, announced that they have possession of Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head.   The FFF, allied with various Y2K survivalist groups, claim the head in preparation for the 2nd coming of the New Messiah.

In more local news. . . we now have a Vice-President and Secretary for the Anime club.  The officers are as follows:

President:  Aaron Seigo
Vice-President:  Robert Dieterich
Secretary:  Tina Liu
Catering:  Aramark

The functions of these persons is to forge a viable and strong anime society in this world of chaos, and to look really good in black mini-skirts (At least Tina is successful in this area).  For anyone who missed the meeting, we watched Fushigi Yuugi, Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, and Escaflowne.

Being that the officers are the ones who have already submitted bios, we would request that all members turn in their bios as soon as humanly possible.  Failure to do so will result in an unspeakable punishment that will be mentioned at a latter date.

Quasi-Trivia Questions:

Easy Question:  Who tastes better with a light duck sauce, Ryoga Hibiki from Ramna 1/2 or Yusukei Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho (Poltergeist Report)?

Hard Question:  Of the series we watch last meeting, which male character looks the best in a tight, black mini-skirt?

Anime Deathmatch Weekly:
In an effort to get the whole Deathmatch thing moving, I'm trying to get everyone in the club at least somewhat involved in its creation.  With that in mind, I'm going to keep everyone updated on the progress of ADM and make requests for your aid.

This week, we need drawings of our two Deathmatch announcers, Jim and Bob.
Ben describes them as:

Bob- Bob is a drunk, under appreciated, unloved, overweight, unshaved, and angry ball of paranormal study. He has a community college degree in parapsychology, more cynicism than one would believe possible, and a constant bottle of liquor in his hand. His favorite activity is making jokes about NERV to Jim’s expense. Other than that, he’s trying to party 100% of the time.                                                                                                          

Jim- Jim is a PhD from Harvard AND Princeton, and he’ll let you know about it. He was a 40-something engineer with a wife and some kids, but he worked for NERV America and they were vaporized while he was at an "unethical cloning technology"
convention. He still has some loyalties to NERV, although he skipped to another dimension, and uses a lot of their technological design and nomenclature in the workings of the arena, which he built. He wishes Bob would be replaced by something easier to deal with, like a bubbling mass of unidentifiable goo.

Visually, I (Robbie this time) see Jim as looking a lot like the typical NERV agent depicted in Evangelion, black suit, black tie, sunglasses, that sort of thing.  You may want to tone him down slightly for civilian duty.  I (Tina) personally think that at least one of them should be drawn in a black mini-skirt or have some fetish with cross-dressing.  Bob, I kind of see as resembling a cross between Nintendo's Mario and that drunk guy in your neighborhood that your parents tell you never to talk to.  I'd also like to see if we can make him the proud owner of the world's only (thank God) pinstripe tuxedo.

We should only need to have them from the waist-up (sorry, Tina) and, possibly, including their lower arms and hands.
