Minutes: 3/2/03 From: Chris Doucette Date: Mon Mar 03 2003 - 01:41:50 EST --------------------------------------------------- Charles: "Does bulllging actually have three l's?" Chris: "Yes." Charles: "...best *noun*?" Chris: "It's a gerund." Kaitlin: "That's what I said before, it's a gerund. Or a participle." Charles: "...but it's not a *word*!" It was raining. Hard. There was a significant drop in attendance from last week. This had its advantages and disadvantages. "Woof." -- Ender *************** *************** NORMAL BUSINESS *************** *************** We nominated Masq, Road Trip, SIGs, and Non-Cons of DOOM (later changed to Non-Cons *or* Doom) for Agenda. *************** MASQ *************** We are planning for the first weekend after Spring Break, when thesises will be (mostly) done with. *************** ROAD TRIP *************** Warren wants to know where people might want to go, events people would want to attend, in a HRSFA weekend trip type way. *************** *************** SIGS *************** *************** Writers: Will be meeting at 4:30 on Saturday in the Owen Room in Winthrop G Entryway. *************** Star Trek: Datathon happened again. There will probably be more TNG showings on Wednesdays before Angel. *************** Milk & Cookies: Happened last night, not many people came. Another will hopefully be held before Spring Break. (There may be a special event for Kevin Gold's arriving in town.) *************** Babylon 5: Meeting tomorrow, presumably in Waka Commons. If we can't get the room we will be notified. "Oh my God, come. Oh my frigging *God*, come." -- Dennis *************** $IG: Farscape is awesome; SG-1 is in a lean period, so we'll watch a Season 4 rerun, "The Curse," tomorrow before B5 starts. "There's a curse... and... Egyptian stuff happens." -- Chris *************** Video Gaming: Jason's not here. Where *could* he be? Obviously he forgot to use the option in Master of Orion III that actually notifies you when you begin to lead a truly sad life. (Jason showed up a few minutes later, to the shock of all.) *************** Gaming: Diplomacy won't happen this Saturday due to lack of interest. LARP LARP LARPs happened over the weekend at Intercon, which Ender attended. *************** Magic: Still wants to be its own SIG. Kowarsky and Warren went to a tourney at Your Move Games. "Bad manners, good gaming." -- Warren *************** CIG: No new Buffy or Smallville. Angel - first of ten new episodes. Cause they can count that high now. *************** Munchies: There were munchies at the meeting. We passed them out before voting began. *************** *************** NON-CONS of DOOM *************** *************** Inferior: Lumati Sex "Charles, do the Ivanova dance." -- Kaitlin *************** Late Fun Girl: Mindy *************** Wombat: Bill *************** Masochist: Kartik *************** Mascot: Undead Elmo "If it's Claw Shrimp, I'm going to have to stab you." -- Warren *************** Most Extensive Inside Joke: Babylon 5 *************** Mind Killer: Com Plex Analysis *************** Swollen, Mindless, Brain-Sucking God of Death: Master of Orion III *************** Legally Redheaded: Mindy *************** Illegally Redheaded: Dev *************** Useful Implement: Region-Free Dragon Summoning Horn *************** Puppet Dictator: Tony Blair *************** Muppet Dictator: Rygel "Henri has been a GM. If a GM is not a dictator, *and* a muppet, what *is* a GM?" -- Dev "I'm gonna only vote for the most popular ones, so I'll always win." -- Jason *************** Agenda: DOOM *************** My Buddy: Kaitlin *************** The Man: Yorick *************** Sweetness + Light: Lis "Who's fucking nominated for goddamn Sweetness + Light?" -- Dev *************** Pumpkin King: Warren *************** Shut The Fuck Up: Deev-deev *************** Path to the Dark Side: Waffles *************** Pun Inspector: Elisabeth *************** Mafia: Cassia *************** Best Accent: Londo "Best Asset?" -- Dev *************** Easiest Class At Harvard: Applied Math 21b *************** The Big Bad: Yves *************** Cutest Dragonball Z: Meatwad "Meatwad's got the money, *G* - Meatwad's got the honey, *see*." -- Tony *************** Person Whose Very Secret Diary I Least Want to Read: Tony *************** Breedable Female: Dev *************** East Coast Chauffeur: Bill *************** Least Compelling Argument: Tony has 8 points "If I might be allowed to speak on behalf of Tony has 8 points. I have played Tony in Catan 7 times. Out of these, Tony has won 7 times. Whenever Tony has 8 points, I tell everyone, Tony has 8 points, don't trade with him. This has no effect. Direct result: Tony wins." -- Jason *************** Political Affiliation: Jason For Dwarf Love "If I could clarify my position. Now, let us think of the demi-humans. Obviously, we have the elves. Thin, forest creatures. Rather stupid. Spend all their time in the trees. They produce music, and culture, and other things that are very bad for killing Orcs. Humans. Sure, there are good things about humans. They've been known to kill the Orc or three. But really, how often do they speak of trade routes, and peace negotiations, and loving one's brethren. Halflings. Half a human. Gnomes build things. Occasionaly they kill an Orc, but mostly they kill Gnomes. Half-Orcs... ? Now Dwarves. You want to kill an Orc, you go to the Dwarves. Because Dwarves have axes... I am not a Dwarf. Thus, if I like Dwarves, then it's not patriotism. It's Dwarf love. If you think it's something else, you have problems." -- Jason *************** Grounded: Kaitlin "The Overmind - yeah, I *grounded* that bitch." -- Chris *************** Martyr: MaintBot 17 *************** Most Virulent Meme: Homestar Runner *************** Best Noun: Xylophonosynthesis *************** Best Proverb: "A single dedicated mind can bring about the greatest destruction. That, or goblins. Goblins work too." "As far as the lemons one - There are even better proverbs that use that formation, for instance: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Unless you're allergic to citrus, in which case, when life gives you lemonade, swell up and die." -- Warren *************** God + His Prophet: Moloch + Warren *************** Best Verb: Googling Kaitlin: "Did you just say muffed?" Ender: "Yes." *************** Bane of HRSFA: Kong "Chloe Lopez has never actually tried to poison us, whereas the *Kong*..." -- Jason *************** Best TV Show Ever: Babylon 5 *************** Bane of Charles: Marcus *************** Most Compelling Argument: Green *************** Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Chris, Kartik + Jason *************** Eternal Prefrosh: Kartik *************** Dances With Gazebos: Kartik *************** All Your Jewish Gazebos Are Belong To Us: Dennis *************** Awwwww: Replicators "They go clickety-click..." -- Jason *************** Mister HRSFA: Kaitlin "If we nominated *waffles*, we could elect them. We've done it before!" -- Ender *************** AAAAAA: 0010101011 "Ass-pennies - It's a double entendre! Oh wait, never mind, it's not." -- Jason *************** What Do We Want: To look up at your lifeless head and wave, just like this *************** Miss HRSFA: Dev "I'm wearing a dress under this. Really." -- Dev *************** When Do We Want It: Right Now *************** Daaaaad!: Dennis *************** Mom: Cassia *************** My Little Brother: Chris *************** My Little Sister: Kaitlin *************** Highly Susceptible Chancellor: Palpatine *************** Highly Flammable Chancellor: Palpatine *************** Cream Puff: Charles *************** Legally Blonde: Dennis *************** Illegally Blonde: Tony *************** Lucifer: Jason *************** Londo + G'Kar: Tony + Dennis *************** Surface of the Planet Mars: Illegally Redheaded *************** Cutest B5 Character: Vir "You are cute for a Minbari. You are cute too, in an annoying sort of way. You're all cute. Everyone's cute. Even me. I'm cute too. Except in purple. In purple, I am *stunning*!" -- Dennis *************** Cruel Mistress: The Laws of Physics "Alright, runoff between Cersei and the Laws of Physics." -- Kaitlin *************** Battle Cry: "Zen silence!" *************** Breakfast Sandwich: Aaron *************** I'm Busy: Kartik *************** Greatest Movie Quote: "We shouldn't even be here, Mr. Frodo." *************** Liar: Small Musical Instrument *************** Albericht of Nibelheim: Jason *************** Armless Sergeant: Warren *************** Sith: Dave + Warren *************** Biggest Badass: Thundercleese "I've pissed on bigger badasses than Raven." -- Jason *************** Sketch: HRSFA DVD Player "...volume up, volume down, volume up, volume down..." -- Tony et al. *************** Oldest HRSFAn: Jason *************** Usual Suspects: Tony + Dev *************** Cutest Couple: Lex + Clark "Bald is the new hair." -- Jason *************** Heteronormative Relationality Structure: Mister + Miss HRSFA Charles: "I would like to speak in favor of Harlan Ellison." Ender: "I find that hard to believe." *************** Stick: Charles "Run-off between Charles and the Cardboard Tube." -- Kaitlin *************** Bitch With A Stick: Charles *************** Best Laugh: Henri *************** The Murderer: Lis *************** Buffet Dictator: HUDS *************** HRSFA Homeworld: Lowell House *************** Correct: Com Plex Analysis *************** Jaime Lannister: Dennis *************** Cersei: Kaitlin *************** Sansa: Kartik *************** Jon Snow: Charles *************** Fruit: Poison Mango *************** Bitch: Kaitlin Kaitlin: "Bitch. How many for Kaitlin?"

Jason's position is a little different. Jason is *glad* things went wrong." -- Jason *************** *************** The high proportion of Jason quotes here is not an accident. Many people have suggested wiring Jason 24 hours a day to make sure we don't miss a single gem that comes out of that blessed brain of his. The Infernal Secretary supports this idea. Details to follow. - Chris Doucette, Infernal Secretary doucett@fas _______________________________________________ hrsfa-announce mailing list hrsfa-announce@hcs.harvard.edu http://lists.hcs.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/hrsfa-announce
