BING!
Vox-Sciuorum: There was a squirrel on John's windowsill, but not dancing this time. It was safe on the other side of a non-opening window, mocking him.

John: On the panthercomm shelf we have this reserve banana with a yellow sicker. We already have a reserve banana, so this must be the foreign one.
Mobcomm2: There is a run at 10:00 AM next week.
Pseudo-Bluebellcomm: They seem to be slipping back into their old habits.
We look at ebooks, and an average picture in a pirated movie really is about as big a file as 1000 words. Its also noted that the first few Robert Jordan books compress much less than the later books. More content? You decide.
Alohalenscomm: We still have a fuzzy picture of Kat.
Pseudo-Picniccomm: About a decade ago the route was renamed, and I (John) am finally editing it.
Picniccomm: Mail today!
BING!
Discussion of later Dune books and B-Movies.
Motion: ``Suppress those standing nearest the keyholder's desk!'' Does nothing 3-3-1+Spehn.
Kat: How come I have to replace my fuzzy picture?
John: Because I'm Aloha Lenscomm and I have absolute power.
Kat: Thats what I was expecting.
Motion: Read from past minutes.
We read past minutes from the days of the original Skinner, for a little too long. Motion: Stop. Passes 15-8-0+Spehn.
Motion: ``Recommend that the Onseck learn from these minutes.'' Passes 11-4-1+Spehn.

We put in our new Finboard request.
The UA usually rubber stamps the Finboard's decision, as long as they give the UA enough.

What about The Matrix?
