Message From That Guy
Dear Readers,
For the roleplaying game, it's ready to
party. All interested people please send their names and a weekend
afternoon time that is good for them. It involves magical
girls, corporate sponsorship, and more wackiness than most can
imagine. Or possibly tolerate. ("How can anyone
do that?" "Same way he did it for the last twelve
people, James.")
I spoke to the "Joe Mama"
corporation and they are not going to try anything else possibly
impugning my religion or they will die. I am very touchy about my
absences due to religion. Thank you for your patience with
my ranting.

As of this moment, we have eight people signed up for the trip to
Nekocon R. This is just two people short of getting the
group rate. If anyone else intends to go, this is
definitely the time to go. Otherwise the price will
skyrocket a hideous $3 per person. After this week's
meeting, I'm going to go ahead and register and pay for
everyone. People can pay me back as we go along, preferably
before I leave college. Bear in mind, candy is no
substitute for money.
Also, I want to know more about you. Turn in your
bios. Just give me your name and some personal info.
Or just make it all up. It doesn't have to be long.
Just a few lines should suffice. Those who don't hand in
their bios will be subject to Joe Mama's discretion. I hold
no responsibility for the consequence.
Finally, this week's gaming hour will be featuring Bust-A-Move
2. More silly pop music and dancing polygons in vaguely
human form. The fun begins at six o' clock.
Tina's Column
With the new addition Joe Mama as the official WMAS Enforcer, I'm
hoping for more and more members to pay their dues. As long
as Joe Mama isn't trying to hit on me, he will be on the
prowl. Here is the list of all the members who have already
paid:
If you have paid, but are not on this list, please talk to me
and we will straighten that out, or I'll just send Joe Mama
out.
We now have a Webmaster for our Webpage. Josh Glover has
graciously donated his time to me. . . and the club. His
duties will be to put the newsletters on the webpage and update
the page about any new social events that may be happening.
For anyone else who was interested in being the Webmaster,
they'll have to file a complaint with Joe Mama.
Mike's Library of Fun
Greetings everyone. This is my first time ever in the
newsletter, if you
don't count a few out-of-context quotes, that is.
As all of you who attended our last meeting know, the library is
up and
running; as all of you who checked out a few manga or videos
know, we've got
a lot of really nice stuff. It's still developing, however, and
the next
few months are going to be a learning experience for everyone
involved. Here's a quick rundown on the current rules for the
library's usage.
---
LIBRARY RULES ver. 1.0
-Access to items contained in the library shall be granted to
"paid members"
only. The membership dues are set at $5 a semester/$7.50 a year.
This
money serves as collateral for items in the library and will be
put towards
club-related activities. Ask our lovely miniskirt-clad secretary,
Tina for
more info.
-At a given time, a person may have no more than 3 tapes, 4
manga, and 4
CD's (when they become available) checked-out.
-Items must be returned to the library no later than a week after
their
check-out. For example, all items checked out at Friday meetings
must be
returned no later than the following Friday. Late fees are set at
a dollar
a week, starting from the day after the due date.
-If a checked-out item is damaged, the owner (or in the case of
club
property, the president) shall decide whether or not replacement
is
necessary. If so, the item's replacement cost shall be paid in
full by the
person who checked it out.
-Suspension of library privileges is likely never to happen, but
will be
exercised if a person willfully and maliciously damages or
destroys library
property. Also, if a person consistently damages or destroys
library
property, discretionary suspension may be exercised by the
elected club
officers or Joe Mama. Trust me--you want to deal with us;
not him.

That about covers the basics. I'd like to take a moment to point
out that
items may be checked out outside of club meetings. A partial list
of items
is available in Aaron's neighborhood network shared files under
SSF TRUNKS,
MPEG, Library Record (it's an Excel database). Simply e-mail me
at
mikecanada@hotmail.com or call x6282 (preferably call). I will
then give
you instructions on how to reach the item's maintainer. Same
rules as
above.
On a final note, I'd like to thank the other librarians (as of
today) for
taking on the task of maintaining all of these items. It's a lot
to
carry--both in responsibility and raw weight. Thanks King Chan,
Jillian
Kallman, Tina Wagner, and Rozik Adianto. Special thanks to
librarians Abby
Reed and Jillian Kallman for donating a lot of their own videos
and manga
too. We love y'all!
Joe Mama's Smack Down of the Week
Tedd better get his ass to the club or damn...
he's gonna be one dead honky.
Mini-Poll:
What are you wearing right now? Is it sexy?
Quasi-Trivia Questions:
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS -- Easy: Who's sexier, Yumi or
Emi? Answer censored due to the youth of the subjects.
Hard: If you were dating Lina Inverse or Zelgadis, how
would you tell them that you'd be better off just being
friends? Run, hide, blame Xellos. Do whatever you
want because you will never get away unscathed and/or
unincinerated.
Easy Question: Who's sexier: Karla in Leylia's body or Karla in
Woodchuck's body?
Hard Question: If we were on Dragon Ball Z time, how long would
our meetings last?
