War Concil

Not enough people came by during office-hours to move stuff out of the warehouse. Later, people are coming by to move filing cabinets to the Annex in order to have more shelf space.

Jamie argues that this violates the prime principle of having all material available. Skinner admits that it was a hard decision, but continues with it.

BING!

Old Business

Slinkies are heard. AR- evil silence- GOL.

``Were they telepaths? Were they emergency food supply?'' ``No. They were not alchemists or mailmen or stateworkers. The cats were /just/ cute furry /pets/.''

The Skinner confesses to being a scientologist. The Skinner confesses to being a hallucination.

``Are you saying that you are an agnostic solipsist?''

FrOm here On, all Ps and Os will be caPitalized everywhere because Jamie says it is mOre fun that way.

``I saw an episode about a giant ape that had a two-finger technique for making sushi out of robot monkeys'' ``Kinky!''

With lazy vicioussness, the Skinner attacks Jamie for mentioning Kenya.
