"I don't want to be grabbed in the ass today."
"The same goes double for me."
- Tina and Ben, faced with an officer whose lust motor was revved way too high...

"During the Bakumatsu, they called me the Puyokiri Battousai."
- Ben before a game of Puyo Puyo

"If you don't come with us to the con, we'll stop loving you."
"Don't say that!"
- Rob and Ben, referring to Tina's conflict of interest during Katsucon

"No wild party's complete without Sailor Moon!"
- Otoko [Male] Maze

"Don't you think Amy is pretty?"
- Otaku Maze

"So, Gattsu, what you've been telling me about your sword and your dreams has been fascinating..."
- Sigmund Freud

"I carry a big sword and have dreams about naked people."
"Believe in the magic of your dreams."
- Gattsu and Dr. Sbaitso

"That's the last time we buy our androids from Genom."
- a Raalgon fleet captain

"Now, you must be asking yourself: did I fire off five bolts or six bolts.  In the heat of battle I kind of lost track.  Now, you tell me:  do you feel lucky?"
"At this point, I don't think it really matters...."
-Gattsu and that snake guy who now has a striking resemblance to swiss cheese.

"Back in the Smurfumatsu, there was a smurfy smurf know as the Smurfukiri Smurfosai."
- the Rurouni Kensmurf Movie

Message from that Guy

Hey Club members!  First things first.  We will have a meeting on Friday.  It will be somewhere.  I'm assuming Blair 205, but if not we'll try to give you 24 hours notice. Is that cool with everyone?

Second, the Raalgon weren't very good at scanning.  The Soyokaze is a big metal object with serious displacement and turbulence.  Using various scanning techniques, such as checking gas red shift, radar, and lasers, a large object could easily be found.  Even with a nebula in the way.  Or, as everyone else was saying, "look out the window." 

Raalgon ships, by the way, seem to be made out of bioceramics.  That's why they can shatter when hit by the Soyokaze.

Finally, I'm hoping that at this very moment Aaron is photocopying parts of my manga for an activity we've been thinking of next semester.  It'll be dramatic manga reading--in translation!  I know some of you out there are dying to do/see this, and we're going to accommodate you.  If you want to be a voice, like for Lemures, reply to this e-mail and you'll be called upon in two months to serve.


Tina's Corner
For our last official meeting of the week, we watched Maze, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and Berserk.  We saw the male version of Sailormoon, Usagi as a porn star, and various other interesting things such as a drunk Yamamoto.  Next week we will be holding a movie night in BLR 205.  If you have any Anime movies, bring them to the meeting and we'll put them up for auc . . . I mean to be voted on.  Dubbed, subbed, or even none of the above, just bring them.  So long as it is Anime.  No, we're not watching that.

But just in case I don't get a chance to say it before anyone leaves, I hope everyone enjoys your winter break and we will see you next semester where we will have more, and more interesting things to do.  If you thought the club was fun this semester, just wait til we show you what we have in store for you next semester.  *grins*


Happy, Happy >(*_*)< Time

Here's the deal with Katsucon folks.  The people I have signed up to register are:
Julie V-wig
Kara Husson
King Chan
Ann-Ruffin Minarik
Sara Alexander
Mike Canada
Benjamin Cooper
Adam Gieseler

Now, if you'd like to register with the group for Katsucon or to be taken of the list, you have to tell me before Sunday the 12th.  I plan to send out the registration on Monday at which point I will be holding people responsible for paying the $30 registration fee.  I'm not going to really get on people's cases for money until after break.  But, I will most certainly not complain if I get it earlier.  I do have Christmas shopping to do.  ^_^ 

On another note, I need to get the names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of people who want to do cosplay.  Please tell me before Sunday, we should probably try to touch base before we leave.  That way, we can do whatever shopping for props and costume materials over break.  I know that I'm headed to DC's Chinatown.

That should cover Katsucon stuff.  I'll stop bending your ear and wish you a Happy Holiday and good luck on those exams.

And now the long-forthcoming section in iambic pentameter.

Before I begin my newsletter section
I would like to disavow knowledge
of several photos I know will be seen.
Now, it has been a very good semester.
The club is getting more and more collective.
We're friends and comrades more than 'ere before.
...
Okay, that'll do.  This one goes out to Julie Vichveg [sic].

It's been a lot of fun and am looking forward to next semester.  We're already making plans for Katsucon and are making a number of delightful plans for the coming months.  I'm also happy to announce that Christina will hopefully have the T-shirt design done before too long, provided that everyone gives me their avatar's identity.  Try to get it to me ASAP.  Send it to me directly and e-mail me if you come up with something late... I have a hotmail address, so any time works.  Have a great holiday and see y'all soon.
