Tenchi Masaki's Ratings of Various Anime Girls
On a scale from 1 to 10, as follows:

• Aeka
(Tenchi Muyo!): 5, would be a 3 if she wasn't so easy to get into the sack.
• Ryoko
(Tenchi Muyo!): 6, because she's a better conversationalist when she isn't sloshed.
• Mihoshi
(Tenchi Muyo!): 8.  You think I would pass up an MTV-caliber tanned blonde with the IQ of paste?  Really!
• Kiyone
(Tenchi Muyo!): 5.  She's friendly, but she's into girls.
• Yumi
and Emi (Irresponsible Captain Tylor): 7 and 4, respectively.  Emi just isn't as passionate.
• Rally Vincent
(Gunsmith Cats): 6.  Too chatty.
• Minnie May
(Gunsmith Cats): 4.  I know she's over 18, but I feel dirtier thinking about her than I do about Britney Spears.
• Pai
(3x3 Eyes): 2.  Too freaky.  Too freaky.
• Misato
(Evangelion): 9.  She's not that impressive, but she keeps coming back.  I usually feed her daiquiris so at least she doesn't smell like beer.
• Belldandy
(Ah My Goddess): 4.  Really into the kinky stuff. 
• Skuld
(Ah My Goddess): 3.  I really don't like all the toys. 
• Alita
(Gunnm): 10.  They don't make 'em like they used to.
• Leona Ozaki (Dominion Tank Police): 5.  She likes tanks better.
• Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi): 7.  After the first two beers, she's quite receptive to new ideas.
• Aburatsubo (Mahou Tsukai Tai!): 10--what do you mean "that was a man"!?!?  I swear--okay, well, it doesn't mean anything, okay?  Really. We do things when drunk.  And it's the nineties.  You know...

Stuff You Should Know:
No manga reading this week.  Once again, I will not be here.  Sorry.  If you're angry, do not blame me or He who keeps me away; the Lord tends not to appreciate that.

Officer elections will be the meeting after next.  If you have a need to run for office, this is your chance.  Offices available are:

• President
• Vice President
• Secretary/Treasurer
• That Guy

By deciding to run for an officer, you promise that, if elected, you WILL:      1. Work for the club like you mean it.  Be around here all the time for the newsletter, make sure the videos get loaded into the box, and care deeply, deeply.  We are a flexible officership; other than the treasurer dealing with money and the librarian keeping the library, everyone else takes an equal share in the work.  That's going to be at least an hour a week, if not more. 
        2. Be friendly to everyone.  As an officer, it is incumbent upon you to keep the club happy and running smoothly. 
        3. Join in our efforts to put anime in the mainstream.

To be an officer, tell an officer at the next meeting what position you'd like to run for.  Here's a rundown of the only diversified responsibilities of the officers (remember, we all share in vetting the videos, planning special events, etc. etc.)

Prez - gets the mail and acts on it.  You are the contact person, so TECHNICALLY you fill out the forms.  Other than that, try to lead.
VP - Has been responsible for organizing convention trips.  Also aids the president when he needs it.
Sec/Treas - Handles the money.  You must be able to keep track of the cash.  Sometimes you suggest things to do with it.
That Guy - Has been amorphous ever since I was That Guy.  Your job, as That Guy, is to be the most energetic and helpful officer possible, coming up with new ideas, making things happen, and generally spreading anime goodwill.  You also do the voting on the videos; the most important thing to remember is BE IMPARTIAL-SOUNDING.  Even if it is CLAMP.

T-Shirts will be at the meeting.  "No money, no get," in the words of the Raven.

Finally...I'd just like to let you know that our current That Guy has started a web comic about going to conventions.  It is at http://conscrew.keenspace.com, and you should visit it.  In a perfect world, you would visit it repeatedly every day from every computer you ever touch, so that Kara's pageviews smack through the roof and she starts getting money.  But every update, which are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, should be enough. 

Poll:
This Week:  We have a papier mache chicken head sitting in here from a cosplay we did at the last Otakon.  What should we do with it, bearing in mind that we will be complying with local fire and waste disposal codes?  No, giving it to Juri is not an option.  She doesn't really exist.


Quasi-Trivia Questions:
This Week:
Easy: Better death, Spike Spiegel, that girl from Memories, the cat from Utena, or the girl who drops off the building at the beginning of Lain?
Hard: Describe Lain's L33+ nekkid skillz. (Translation for those who do not consider slashdot.org their personal god: "elite naked skills.")
