BING!

Committee Reports

Picniccomm

Prentice will buy coconuts tomorrow. Hmart recommended. Cars are being covered by TM and CS. Bear and Gladstone contacted by the Skinner, cannot make it to the picnic but Bear expressed interest in visiting in the fall. Rain might be looming on the horizon. Suggested that we put extra effort into the sacrifice for next year. Do we know what makes a virgin watermelon? The answer is no.

ManciniComm

Shelves will need to be reorganized, will happen soon.

TrojanComm

will be dealt with soon.

BSTcomm

MJS tells us that the sharp corner of the table is now OSHA compliant. Reverse bubbling happening.

BING! BING!

Old Business

XDL should get sleep. Midway happened was sucessful. Prefrosh wanted animorphs. We do not have animorphs. They are small books but creepy, loom large in the mind, existentially horrifying to adults. The best animorphs is where they turn into horses.

BING! RS screams in response to the bing.

BING!

New Business

The taking down of the cpw open house sign. Shirts ordering will happen at some point. Designed already. Someday banana stickers will happen.

ELECTIONS

Onseck

Nominations: Eileen Hu monkey signed by David Brin atasha (the AI of the guy who wants to bribe his son into MIT)

Note: All the knowledge of accents that CS once posesssed has been replaced by irregular verbs.

Votes counted.Eileen Hu (EH) wins and is declared onseck. Natasha got second place. We may communicate this to the guy. Natasha may be useful on the war council.

LHE

Nominations: Eleanor Graham Eleanor's credit card Bernie Madoff the guy from catch me if you can William Nobreaga?

Question: Why do they scream? because they are alive. A question for the world from RS. What is this button on Firefox that changes things? SJW replies that it is reader mode. DNA and Cas13 RNases are invading the votes as write-ins on the scratch paper side of the votes.

Votes counted.Eleanor Graham (ERG) wins, blowing them all out of the water and is declared LHE.

Vice

Nomination: Margarita Misirpasheyeva: Sloth Elena: Overthinking Elena's plant: Death The kitten that lives inside Al's suit: Fuzzy Free Will: Pride The Grinch: Wrath Sarek: Being a bad father

A very very serious stump speech for the local peasantry is given by Elena. The watchers of Full Metal Alchemist are condescending towards those who have not seen it and cannot name all the seven deadly sins. Margarita is probably singing right now. Her stump speech is transmitted to an adoring audience. CS contains multitudes. Nestor has had emergency surgery but it didn't work.

Votes counted. Elena wins and is declared Vice. Elena will embody the Vice of Overthinking.

President

Nominations: Mathew Suazo running under the slogan Make MITSFS bureaucratic again. Nestor Leia Organa The OSHA-compliant corner The cardigan of SJW The genre squid The dormant office of official second The letter E The meme E

There is a mystery vote for Oulipo, very clearly written but meaning unknown. We resolve the mystery. Oulipo is no one in greek. Probably from SJW but she's not admitting it.

Votes counted. Mathew Suazo (MJS) wins and is declared President. A round of applause. President is asked to appoint a Skinner. MJS appoints MJS to Skinner.

Note to picniccomm. Do not get moldy coconuts.

BING!

Future Business

In the future there will be a picnic. If we are lucky they will shut up and stop cheering in the future.
