John: ``Let the minutes note that someone is reading 'A Shoggoth on the Roof'.''

Discussion on what people report they do first thing in the morning.

John wonders how they can do things without getting out of bed first, but Jamie says that his bed flows out around the entire house in the morning so that he won't have to get out. John thinks Jamie should fix the hole in his water bed.

Mobcomm3: We need a new run soon.

Theftcom: Rotation.

Pseudo-Pianocom: Dave Cora is resigning or something.

BING!

Old Business

Derrick is in the library. ``Hi Derrick!''

Unicorn Jelly is over. It was a very good serious web-comic that everybody should read (hint, hint).

Finboard gave us almost as much money as we wanted for such evil schemes as magazine binding and a digital camera.

Discussion of windows, and minesweepers, with discussion of whether it is addiction or meditation.

Minutes of May 3rd of 1991 read. Whee! Jamie's first minutes.

Another discussion of ``The Core.'' The biggest problem: its the geophysicist that figured out that its pacemaker failures that are killing people. Come see the core with eh geophysics group. People qualified to heckle it properly.

ALGOL

BING!

New Business

A cool official type person came in and said he'd mention us to the library director.

Marines are hunting Gazzels in Iraq with rocks for food.

We're getting a Laurel K. Hamilton book donated. No need for the brown paper bag.

John: ``My niece is a mutant. She's off the chart in size, coming out of a small woman.''

Motion: ``Send the marines lots of copies of Larry Niven's 'Folk Tale' so they'll know the proper way to hunt Gazels.'' Passes enough-not enough-a little+Spehn.
