"What do you love more . . . Escaflowne or me?!?"
-- Kevin to Liza

The US government recently announced a new design for an environment and exploration suit based on Japanese school-girl uniforms.  This decision was based on recent discoveries revealing that school girl uniforms are very transportation friendly, dry-clean only, and show very little wear and tear under even the most extreme environmental circumstances. 

In the Club, we watched Escaflowne, Utena, Sorcerer Hunters, and several people beating up on each other in an animated apocalypse known as Panzer Bandit.  Some of our eyes still haven't uncrossed from the last one.

We will not be having a meeting next week.  The reason being that everyone is little bit more interested in getting out of here than watching anime (the heathens!)  Our next meeting will take place the weekend of the 19th, after we get back from Spring Break (repeat those sweet words after me:  Spring Break... ahhh, what a lovely sound....)

Also, Tina recently acquired the first Escaflowne soundtrack and will be getting the rest in two weeks.  We don't know why she wanted me to mention this, but she seems very excited about it and I'm too scared not to.

Quasi-Trivia Questions:

Last Week's Answers
Easy Question: The SDF-1's Main Cannon.  Dragonslave's good, but the Macross is better.

Hard question:  The one common denominator in all the answers to this questions is that Japanese animators are either perverts, lazy, or both.

This Week's Questions:
Easy Question: How would the Student Council in Utena like the world, hard-boiled, fried, or scrambled.

Hard Question:  Someone in the club is a Doppelganger, guess who?

Hint:  The Student Council always refer to cracking the egg-shell of the world to start their revolution.  They always refer to this in that elevator from hell.
A Dopppelganger is a soul-stealing creature that takes the shape of it's last victim from the The Vision of Escaflowne.
