Message from That Guy

Today is the sex n' swords issue. This is not just because we're watching Berserk, starring Gatts and the big black version of Pip from Great Expectations. You may have thought he's Joe Mama's brother, but his last name is Pirrip. We swear.

There was no role playing game recently, because of exams, and all that stuff. I want to know if anyone really wants to finish it. I really don't care, although I want to move to different projects next semester, like the Yuna RPG Aaron's been working on and my own "fight the anime sekai" idea. Please keep me posted.

In anime notes, I want to say that I do like Nadesico, Maze, and the like, but you really passed up a good opportunity to see some good stuff. Watch for more opportunities to see new and different stuff in the future. You have been warned.

Oh, and this'll be the last newsletter of the semester, but I'm no good at closure, so assume I said whatever goodbyes are mentally healthy for you. Now I vanish for a couple months.

Tina no meirei

For all those that were able to make it to our very, very last meeting for the year of 1999, thanks to all! We saw Maze, Berserk, Nadesico, and lots of Chinese food. With the funds we have gathered from you all, we purchased some Chinese food. With the combination of all the wholesome food goodness, we learned that in order to properly enjoy taking a bath, you have to be naked with Griffith.

Besides learning about the fringe benefits that come from joining the "Band of the Hawk," we also learned about the fringe benefits of being a crewmember of the Nadesico. Wow, I never thought that someone could live so much in her own little world and be able to run a space craft. The mind boggles.

I think my favorite part of the evening came when we were fighting with our shinai's at the meeting. With long, hard strokes, we came, saw, and sweat a lot. And afterwards, we all had an all nighter at the J-House. Imagine, four guys and two girls. I had fun, but I was sure tired the next day. I was able to find out that Rob has a tendency to sleep with his sword resting against his shoulder and Mike snores. Either way, sleeping with swords can't be very comfortable. Anyway, I ended the year with a blast! But for all those that are still around, I hope you all enjoy your break and remember, Santa Claus likes Anime as well. :)

Chulips and Duelgar and Griffith's a Ken doll.  Oh my!  Well, it seems that the time has finally come.  We've had our last meeting (official or otherwise) before the advent of the year 2000.  You all know what that means, right?

That's right!  I'm going to bug you about Con stuff.  So, here's the deal.  The people registered to be registered are:
Julie Viehweg
Kara Husson
King Chan
Ann-Ruffin Minarik
Mike Canada
Benjamin Cooper
Adam Giesler
Aaron Seigo
Alicia Foley
and >(*_*)<

Plus, some random folks from my dubious past.  Basically, we're sending a small army to invade Katsucon.  Of course, it takes money to fund an army ^_^ .  The registration fee for the Con is $30, you're free to pay before or after break, I will be keeping a list and checking it twice.  On another note, I really need to know who my cosplay shock troops will be.  Kara, you keep saying that you want to be Miyu, now's the time to prove it!  For only through hard work, determination, spectacular costumes, choreographed swordplay and seduction of the judges will we win at Katsucon.  (There, Tina, are you happy?  Sex and swords all in one sentence!)

For those of you who haven't seen enough of us and happen to be willing to be in the DC area this New Year's, I'm trying to see who wants to meet up for some crazed Year 2000 silliness.  Over break, my number is (703)486-7075 and my e-mail address is shnobichan@aol.com (gasp!  an AOL account, I'm so ashamed!)

Other than that, Happy Non-Sectarian Holiday to Everyone!

Hey Everyone... wow... I have absolutely nothing to say... except I'm still tired. If you didn't come to the J-house anime night, you missed some fun stuff. There was anime too. There was Gecko's bad Scottish dub of Evangelion. There was a new look at Bubblegum Crisis in 2040. There was gratuitous gratuity in Gainax's Gunbuster. Finally there was Puyo. Oh yeah, and then there was the hours of kfl;sdjafasdj;kflasdjkljsdfsdkla;j

Bwahahaha! Don't worry about Mike -- he's not feeling any pain. Heh heh... this is your new librarian speaking -- prepare for my benevolent rule! I've been given control of this newslettter, as long as I provide free sex and swords. And both are coming up as soon as... here's where I would outline my diabolical plans for the club, but from personal experience I've found it's not good to piss of people who have swords (I said I'd deliver!) or who have.. um, never mind, I'm not delivering that. I mean... that's not what I meant! Oh no! Maybe I should leave quietly before I say something that sounds even more wrong...

Tina: Personally I prefer the Japanese katana.

I'm afraid Sara is no longer with us. She get a decent shallow burial though. Anyway, that's enough randomness for one newsletter. have a good break and see you next semester.

Joe Mama's Smack Down of the Week
In a story so like another one filled with pigs who drive around in large, powered exoskeletons like the fucking blue-suited gangstas of the Man that they are, Noriko has just joined the force seeking fame, fortune, and the ability to drive on any fucking side of the street she wants to.  As you can guess if you've got half a brain, the bitch meets the Man of Her Dreams here...

Quasi-Trivia Questions:

LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS:
EASY:  More effective as a Sailor Scout: Female Maze or Sailor Moon?
In the words of Sara, who we had to subdue to finish Mike's segment --
"Tuxedo Mask by moonlight, a Sailor Scout by daylight
She's wussy, yes, but Serena bites! Maze is the better Sailor Moon."

HARD: What would Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion be like drunk?
This is a koan.  Derive from that what you will.  There was little agreement on this question, and since Tina didn't want to spring for beer from club funds to find out, and we didn't want to expose the poor little clone to a frat party, we'll never know.
