Committee Reports

KKB: Can I have the green pill? CJT: No, it's not gluten-free. KCR: I'm going to have some green pills! *fetches* KKB: ... Oh ... I'm allergic to those.

Skinner

If you had Athena accounts that were about to expire, well, now they aren't.

We granted Henry Jenkins a life membership. He's pretty cool, but we're looking for a new advisor.

The Cruft Collective: Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. ESK/KKB: Yaaaay!

Pain of Space-comm

We got the test scans back from the place in Utah. They look very nice. Unfortunately, we still need Money.

ESK: I don't get it...
CJT: Scanners Live in Vain! The Pain of Space!
ESK: But what does that have to do with microfilm?
KR: Scanners!
KCR: ... ALBANIAN.

Onseck

The Onseck made new signs!

Also, someone failed to turn in their books properly. Someone else vomited all over the hallway! The Onseck was very disgruntled.

Mortcomm

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry is dead.

KCR: Someone needs to be the bastard.
CJT: And I never doubted it would be you.

BING!

Old Business

Term! Term is Old Business, and finals are dead!

When will the digital system be ready? Eventually.

This would be a lot less funny if I was actually writing unit tests.

Anathem does not fit through the book slot. The book slot is .75 Anathems.

Discussion of the book slot and how one might return books.

ALGOL.

BING!

New Business

Usual... whatever. Usual ... something. Usual apathy.

Oh hey, it's, like, winter break now!

Discussion of real science fiction ensues. Wow, we have time!

BING!

Future Business

Speaking of the Doctor... he will be back in six episodes!

More discussion of science fiction! Wow, again!

In the future, Lee will have a prentice project!

In the future, various people will be unhosed.

The library will be closed for the next two Fridays!

Kevin's banana motion passes by ... white ballot. Woo hoo.
