Time Warp to Committee Reports

Pseudo-pianocomm: it may work better to get the prentices into the library and threaten to shoot them if they don't choose a project NOW. (They hadn't replied to skinner's email.)

Discussion of people's keyholder projects. WDS got his key in 1976... no one could beat that. Jade: "I don't want to discuss it." ED: time elapsed since beginning of keyholder project about 3 years. The shortest time: less than a week.

Prentice project being to rent them out- makes money for the library too! Must not be broken when returned- minor psychological damage is okay...

M: to thoroughly tie up and ding up the prentices. Fails by skinnerial decree.

M: to chastise pseudo-skinner AMU for being no fun. Fails.

BING!

New Business

Today is the last day that the date is all odd digits- this won't happen for some 37 generations.

M: say hi to pseudo-Telzey. Passes.

Lots of people shout "Bag!" jhawk: "We're supposed to bag the pseudo-Telzey?"

BING!

Future Business

There is no difference between the rule for leap years in the US and Russia...

Motion to sympathize with Julius Caesar because his calendar died.

M: encourage Jade to throw more articles of clothing. Passes.

Several motions fail for the lack of comprehension (others and my own).

M: to end the meeting. Passes.

M: something about bananas. Passes.



Meeting adjourned, 1725 SST.
