Year 2, quarter 2, in summary
Mar. 15th, 2007 03:56 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sniffnoyBarring finals week, of course.
So, if you don't elect me secretary again, you won't have to endure this again. (Meanwhile still waiting for Appie to get her stuff together...)
You all know how it works by now. Headers are bolded. And, to make things even better, I'm now including big horizontal lines between weeks. You probably just want to skip to the Weenie of the Week stories, which this quarter included the now-infamous-in-Tufts story of Chris spitting on the chips.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 1 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Ian plans to usurp Aaron as Condom Czar this quarter, but his odds
aren't good. What? Condom Czar is yearlong? When did we do that?
Guess his odds are 0, then.
Constitution is amended to make social service chair, IM, and webmaster
yearlong.
Colin thinks Mark is the cheerleader.
Kate has a broomball team.
Mark may run for president, Ginny can run for vice president.
But! Now the 2/3rd nomination provision has been eliminated from the
constitution.
President nominations: Mark, Ginny, Chris (not present). Mark is
reelected.
Ginny takes vice president unopposed.
Also, Tancer needs an assistant/apprentice, a first-year, for selling
T-shirts and treasurering.
Nominees: Colin and Aviva nominate each other, also Agnes
Agnes says she knows shirt design, shirt-selling, and money-handling.
Aviva says she knows how to count and is failing calculus (after one
day!). She hopes this will help. Also she knows shirts?
Colin says he just got back from selling crack and pilfering house
funds, and is also really bad at math. But! Aviva, he says, would be a
good candidate, because she's really studious, and she has the will to
really do this, whereas he's shiftless and diabetic, and will probably
pilfer house funds to buy crack to sell to kindergarteners.
Agnes is the winner!
Social chair nominees: Alex, Dan - but Dan hates society! - but he
accepts the nomination since he still loves us; Sadie declines - no,
wait! Dan does decline, so Alex takes it unopposed
Assistant: Sadie and Dan - but Dan declines again, no, wait, he doesn't!
Sadie vs. Dan!
Dan hates society but loves Tufts House, and would like to help us
organize things and have fun.
Grant: What are some of your brilliant ideas?
Dan: Well...
Kate: Bowling... ice skating...
Mark: You're an amazing ventriloquist!
Dan: I will consult Kate on all of my ideas.
Alex: I will already do that.
Someone suggests Whirlyball.
Sadie likes Whirlyball but stresses the importance of the suggestion
box. Her door is also a suggestion box.
Well, after a bunch of talk about an amendment that would allow an
arbitrary number - or just 2 - social chairs, they ultimately decide to
go the Triumvirate way and not fight.
PTC time nominees: Evette, Laura, Charlotte declines, Colin, Peter
declines, Mark Stankevitz declines, all the Saras - sort of; they'll go
together for one meeting (otherwise, Evette replaces Wilson)
IHC nominees: Colleen, Wilson (not present; this time it's decided means
that doesn't count), so Colleen wins.
HARK (HARC?) we don't decide, PTC decides that. So that gets removed
from constitution.
Kitchen wench nominees: Sarah E, Kate the Younger. They'll go as a
team.
Birthday fairies are made yearlong.
Wait, we totally skipped secretary!
Secretary nominees: Dan declines, Jake (sitting in a chair looking
pretty cool with his thumb on his tooth) declines, Noah, and I decide to
run.
Noah has very little to say; Aviva says he meows like a cat. Also that
he types better than he speaks.
Wait, also, Steve... declines!
Aviva claims that Noah said that if he were secretary he would just say
"fuck it" and leave halfway through... not like any of our other
secretaries have done that...
Alex nominates Supriya, who declines.
I am reelected secretary... oh boy...
John Wood announces: He has a Wii! He wants it insured by the house.
As in, if the stuff is damaged, it would be nice if the house were to
pay for it. The suggestion is we give him $430, so if something
mysteriously breaks, he can take the money from that; we'll get the rest
back.
It passes; Dave notes that this is probably covered in our homeowner's
insurance.
Bill announces: Friday movie night is The Edukators, which is about
pranksters and sounds cool, Saturday is Sin City.
Secret winter father: Gift exchange is tomorrow, not tomorrow, which is
Summer's birthday. Just leave it by their door.
Kuviya starts next week. This is the thing that involves getting up at
6:00 and doing calistenics and going to the point. Also, Friday is the
polar bear run. You only get a shirt if you go every single day of the
week... or make someone else go and say they're you, as Rachel did.
Ice skating tomorrow, 7:40, RMs are planning a ballet trip, they're
going to watch House.
Broomball is on Tuesday nights, 7 and 8? It gets $30.
I will come back next week with input switch information, and possibly
TV information, though I will wait for the repair attempt for the
second.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
The whole thing going on with Noah, Aviva, Colin, and Antonia on the
lishost... I can't follow it. Colin is the nominee.
Kat nominates Sara for failing to make instant pudding.
Jake nominates Jim for shaving with the full knowledge that he was the
last beard in the house.
Kenneth nominates this meeting for exceeding an hour.
This meeting wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Kenneth wins unopposed for beginning repairs/tuning of the piano.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 2 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
The law school has been selling shirts that say "Where fun comes to
die!" Apparently we actually have a copyright on that. A copyright?
Not a trademark or something? I suppose a trademark wouldn't make much
sense. Neither would a copyright! Whatever it is, we have the rights,
we're not going to allow this.
President Zimmer is coming to Tufts tomorrow! Huh? Apparently this
will happen to all the houses. Chris wonders if he will have an
entourage. Or trumpeters or heralds, or maybe secret servicemen. We
should ask him to play Smash! We must not let him play Ian, though.
Put the dishes away for him, though.
Does anyone have questions about the college roundtable? Leslie does.
There are 3 showings, check the email. It's all in the RH's apartment.
It's about a 2 hour movie. They need about a dozen people.
Movie nights: Friday is Breakfast at Tiffany's, Saturday is Moulin
Rouge.
The survey - do the survey, guys! It helps the house! If not enough
people do it, Bill and Dave will knock on doors. Mark suggests they get
the Blitz Brothers to do the knocking for them.
Alex announces that Whirlyball is a given. Also this quarter their
theme is aesthetics. WTF? Is Whirlyball included in aesthetics? Alex
says "you'll see." They're gonna go to a symphony. Also Dan wants to
actually paint the house. I say we should paint the house while driving
around in little karts. Mark reminds us that we don't want to look like
Max.
Alex: We'll do fun things, I promsise - no! *I* think they're fun! You
know what else is fun? Shooting ranges, etc?
Sarah E reminds of the date/time list for Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
Dave points out that many people are not wearing glasses.
Alex continues: Also, we were thinking of doing something for
Jan-Michael, but we don't know what yet. Ginny will take care of it,
apparently.
Leslie announces: On Sunday, for MLK day, there will be south side
Chicago tours, of areas important to the civil rights movement. We have
4 people so far.
Colleen reports: RA applications are open, and IHC is considering
proposing to housing that we start introducing gender-neutral rooms.
Laura announces: Laura writes for Triple Helix and she wants writers,
editors, whatever. What is Triple Helix? It's a student publication.
February 8th is an introductory meeting.
Ginny has the signups for house snack! If you sign up, Ginny will help
you. Remember, you get reimbursed up to $20. Also Mark wants to get
$60 of Depot for study break once. Wait! Many of the first-years do
not know what Depot is! 12:00 tonight, then, they'll do a run. Mark
explains what Depot is, I need not explain it here. Except to remind
you that if you order fries, they give you a sign of fries.
Mark: The burgers are so greasy, they don't taste like meat - they taste
like *grease*! But it's *good*!
Nadja: Arteries are overrated.
I announce that I know nothing about getting stuff and I suggest we get
someone else to get us a new TV and input switch. Ian enters right on
cue.
Grant: You enjoy procuring house items, right?
Ian agrees to research the stuff in my place. It should be cheap, but
must not be a Yobo TV!
Alex wants the social chairs to take over the board above the community
service board. It's official.
Also, Broomball starts next Tuesday.
Also, Dan is going to every Hitchcock film at Doc.
Charlotte wants sugar; Alex has some, so do the RHs.
Nadja asks, How long are these Christmas decorations going to be up?
Alex suggests they'll go away when the decorators get started. Sarah E
suggests Groundhog Day decorations. I love it. Mark suggests getting
groundhogs and just setting them loose (in Shorey). Sadie suggests Mark
should dress up as a huge groundhog; Mark says he will if she supplies
the costumes. So who's on the decorating committee? Alex, Evette,
others - if you want to be on it, talk to Alex.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Sara nominates Colin for pushing her down on the ice. Colin insists
that's not what really happened... Sara tells the story. On Friday, at
the skating rink, Colin was trying to be really manly by slamming into
the wall. He turned away at the last moment, though. Trying again, he
bumped into Sara, knocked her over, and shouted "Who's the pussy now?!"
(Though he did not do it deliberately or put his foot on her back as he
claims.)
When Wilson, Aaron, Ian, and Colin - no, no, we're moving on.
Noah nominates Ian: Ian had a tea party in his room, but instead of
using stuffed animals, he used real people.
Nadja nominates Kenneth, Summer tells the story: Friday night was
Summer's birthday, it was late, and Kenneth devised this drink, which he
called a "Hot Dicking" (a la Dr. Tran), and so they were walking around
the hall, they meet Kate Harney and her friends, and Kenneth asks them,
"Do you want a hot dicking?" He continues to be like, "Guys, guys,
c'mon, don't you want a hot dicking?" completely scary them. Also he
apparently declared Summer the mistress of hot dickings.
Dan nominates Michael Toney for cracking the dining hall window. He had
his backpack on the back of one of the dining hall chairs; when he got
up, the chair fell back and cracked the window. Everybody clapped for
him.
Kenneth wins Weenie of the Week!
Nadja: Also, for the record, hot chocolate and peppermint Schnapps, if
he asks you if you want a hot dicking.
Sadie: The answer is yes.
Hero of the Week:
Evette nominates Mark the Younger for singing all of My Fair Lady in the
practice room.
Sadie nominates Kenneth for inventing the hot dicking.
Toney once again for the window.
Sara nominates Sarah M for putting Sara's juice in the fridge.
Apparently Sara is very, very lazy, not unlike a blob.
Toney wins Hero of the Week!
Our RH Dave goes on record to say:
Breaking windows on purpose isn't OK.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 3 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Getting another table? Ian tells us he can get us a cheap TV for about
$210. Apparently that's really cheap. How much money do we actually
have? Where the hell is Tancer? Agnes will find out for us. Chairs we
can get from facilities for free. Leslie was in the basement of BJ
looking at a room full of chairs. What?
So are we buying the TV if we have... $300? $500? $1000? Why don't we
just bug Tancer and hold a special vote? Look's like we're doing that.
Dave just wanted to check on the noise situation, all seems well there.
Mostly, anyway. So what about the loud gamers? There don't seem to be
any real complaints, and closing the lounge doors helps a lot... oh
wait, Bill and Dave do kind of live here, don't they? Hm. But also it
is the all-night studiers who are loud. I'm not sure what the
conclusion here is, there doesn't seem to be one.
Bill: We need to find an occassion to beat Henderson house at something!
Firstly, the housing survey. The house does not respond well - but Bill
points out, it was Henderson's RH who designed the survey, and is
convinced they're going to get the highest turnout. It would be pretty
sweet to beat them at their own game. (For the contrary viewpoint:
Since when does Tufts play Henderson's game? But really guys, do the
housing survey because it helps the house.) Also, Sports Frolic! Yes
guys! We're going to win Sports Frolic! 8:00 PM ("This is Pierce, not
Snell") next Saturday (not this Saturday). Kate Harney doesn't want to
go, but we need everyone we can get.
Chris and Sam seem very excited about something involving Ian and Laura
- "You were not contacting her!" - OH! They were talking about Sam
finally killing Ian! The game's over guys, seriously.
Blake: We also need to think of a sport to run for the other houses.
Aaron: Smash!
Nadja: Boobtag!
RH movie night - Friday: Central Station; Saturday - Descent (no
relation to the computer game)
Antonia wants to do something involing old people's homes on same day as
Sports Frolic.
Dave: And there's old people!
Leslie also advertises another vampire pyramid scheme.
Agnes has no idea what the budget is, but the order for the shirts is
being placed tomorrow. But she lost everyone's sizes, so you'll need to
right them down again.
Sara Abarbanel complains about leaking sinks, which can in fact be
turned off if turned really hard; Alex suggests putting up a sign
telling people to turn them off.
The building has a new facilities manager! Octavia has retired, and the
new one is someone Bill and Dave have worked with before.
Kate: Can we make her [Octavia] a card, "We love you even though you
hate us?"
Alex is throwing a yoga study break on Tuesday. Really Alex? If you
don't want to come, she says, we don't want you there.
Also, potluck Saturday, talk to Alex. Also Agnes wants to know who
wants pyrogies.
Blake talks about a rummage sale, you can get rid of stuff, but I'm not
sure you'll actually get the money. Also, if you can give away any
jackets or shoes, Dave's patients could use them. Also CSO is doing
Rite of Spring?
Ian won the Assassins game with 7 kills to Sam's 1, so Kate Harney gives
him the W necklace and an issue of Stuff magazine.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
Sara nominates Ian for talking about using balloons condoms. Ian wants
to talk about his Assassins victory; the house boos him down. Grant
nominates him from killing Steve, though that was, you know, kind of his
mission.
Sam tells us: Friday night, as many of you know, Chris, Ben, Jacob and I
got duck suits for a party - a lingerie party. We were walking coming
back and walking down an alley and we run into these two big guys, and
they tell us, they're from Fiji, they play football.
Chris: Oh, you think you're badasses, cause you play division 3 football?
Fiji guy: Well, what do you play?
Chris: Where are you from?
Fiji guy: What?
Chris: Where are you from?
Fiji guy: Well, I'm from Michigan.
Other Fiji guy: I'm from Michigan too.
Chris: Well, I'm from the South, and I watch better football down there,
so that makes me better than you!
As they came back onto the quads, Chris would chase around whoever he
found, wearing his duck suit.
Later, at Bart Mart:
Sam hears the lady going, "Why would you spit on the chips?"
Chris has apparently spit on the chips for no good reason.
And there's Chris saying, I'm so sorry, I promise I'll pay for it.
Lady: But why would you spit on the chips?
Chris: Fuck you!
We come back, Sam continues, we go up to Henderson - he pounds on - or
body slams - every single door, and everyone comes out of their rooms
and thinks it's Sam. He finally finds Chris passed out on his bed.
Chris also apparently ran around naked at one point.
Chris wins with no opposition!
Hero of the Week:
Aaron nominates me - he was in his room, door open, headphones on, note
on his whiteboard saying "I can't hear you." And suddenly he feels this
blow to the head - turning around, he sees me, with a pillow.
Why did you hit me? he asks.
Because you couldn't hear me!
Also nominated is John Wood, for going up to Shorey in a shopping cart,
going around the halls, saying not a word, as Shorey people followed
him, audibly wondering about who he was and what he was doing. Finally,
he arrived in the Shorey kitchen, and placed his ice cream in their
fridge. This ice cream is the worst ice cream Mark has ever tasted,
apparently, and is just generally really nasty, so this is a good thing.
Also, he finally got his doorbell working!
John Wood wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 4 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Grant calls for announcements; Joss hates math.
Mark is all dressed up.
RH movies - Friday: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Saturday: Indiana Jones and the
Temple of Doom. Shouldn't we show Raiders of the Lost Ark first?
Sports Frolic - 8:00 Henry Crown. We are doing the orange navel relay - wait,
what?! Orange *neck* relay, sorry. Maybe that was supposed to be orange naval
relay? That doesn't exactly make sense either.
Alex points out that Ian is wondering where his steering wheel is.
Colleen tells us about the Battle of the Bulbs. If you want to do it, ask
Colleen. They also have free compact bulbs downstairs. Also, we need to
determine the house's official stance on gender-neutral rooms, or else Colleen
will simply report that Tufts House abstains. Also, drunk vans are now buses
and supposedly more reliable.
Also - 8:00 monday, Bill and Dave are doing RH interviews for other houses;
they could use a few students to help. Sort of like RA interviews.
Whoever our PTC rep is, could they do something about the washers? Laura and
Eve aren't here, and Colin doesn't do anything. Well, the guys are working on
that. If you leave your laundry there a long time, they'll move it.
How soon can we get a guy to fix the TV cable? Dave forgot, I'll remind him.
We did really well on the house survey, but final figures aren't in yet. Also,
Dave speaks for Emily and tells people to sell ...so, it's now several days
later and I have no idea what I was originally writing there, but I think that
word was supposed to be "see", not "sell".
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Antonia nominates Colin: Jake's girlfriend, in town and wanting to surprise
Jake, talking to Jake on the phone, asks to talk to one of his friends; he puts
Wai Lee on. She asks him to bring her from the airport to Pierce, as she
doesn't know the way. He doesn't want to do it, so he puts Colin on. He
agrees. Only problem is that apparently he doesn't know the way either. He
gets *to* Midway with little problem, but then they take the bus and somehow
end up on 63rd. They walk to 55th, but are apparently on the wrong side of
Chicago. They get on the bus, which they take to the orange line, and end up
back at Midway where they started. They then take the real 55 bus to Pierce.
Colin wins Weenie of the Week unopposed!
Hero of the Week:
Mark nominates Kenneth for accidentally showing up for his math midterm. Sara
nominates Sarah M for putting up the save water signs. Grant nominates Mark
and everyone for keeping the meeting (and their minutes) short. Nadja
nominates Marco, her econ TA, for volunteering to move the midterm from the day
after the Superbowl, even though the other students actually didn't want it
moved. Mark hopes the rioting and noise, which will violate quiet hours, but
he'll be in Miami so it won't be his fault, disrupts them all and causes them
all to fail the midterm. Blake nominates Agnes for pyrogies. Antonia
nominates that entire study break.
Agnes wins Hero of the Week!
OK guys - to save paper, I'm now putting more text in each row.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 5 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Screw facilities, Dave has fixed the TV himself! He rethreaded the cable. You
read that right. Many yays to Dave.
So the painting the lounge may be able to go ahead? I missed most of this.
Movies - Friday: Before Sunrise; Saturday: Snakes on a Plane (in English, not
Spanish)
Battle of the Bulbs has started. Conserve energy, but don't go unplugging all
our stuff, OK? In particular, DO NOT TURN OFF THE N64! Also, bug Grant to get
his friend to mail him the Smash cartridge. But turn off your lights when
you're not using them.
Ida Noyes, 8 tomorrow, Sunday at 2, Katy is in Sleeping Beauty. Folk Festival
this weekend, too.
Orchestra, go to that then you can go the party at Millikan afterward? The
concert is in Rockefeller.
Colleen announces a blood drive next week, please don't help the vampires.
Also there is collecting canned goods - also a building things out of canned
goods contest? That sounds like a tremendous waste of food. Don't support
food wasting.
Ian says that an aquarium trip is still a possibility. I won't record the next
thing. However! Ian thinks he can replace the Smash battery. Chris suggests
we just get a new cartridge from EBay. I say we Grant should get this friend
of his to send him the cartridge in the mail.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Alex nominates Chris: "Someone tried to come in my room. And everyone else's
room."
Kate expands on the story: So Chris was going into everyone's room (who hadn't
locked theirs), and walked into Jake's room... where he found 2 naked people,
and quickly left. But wait, he reflected, something's not right here. Does
Jake have a mistress *and* a girlfriend? He figured he'd better go ask him,
and walked right back in. Jake just flipped him off.
Chris wins Weenie unopposed!
Hero of the Week:
Laura nominates Antonia for the CD thing.
Alex reports that she and Kate tried to turn off the lights in the second floor
lobby, but someone told them they didn't have the authority. Can she get the
authority? This seems unrelated to Hero; I'm assuming Antonia wins that.
Yes short minutes!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 6 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Dave ripped his thumbnail off by accident. Ew...
Movies: None on Friday, Blade Runner on Saturday.
Laura reports: We actually had all 3 representatives at PTC this week! They're
considering implementing a house composting policy. Also, they're talking
about what TANSTAAFL should get. They're talking about a new pool table, but I
think a new toaster oven is much more important so they can get their cheese
sticks back on track (even though they strictly speaking don't need one). Sara
would rather buy cheese sticks frozen, bring them back upstairs, and toast them
herself. WTF?
Agnes announces shirt-selling, if you want to sign up, talk to her about that.
Also, if you do, you get a free shirt.
Tyler tells us how Joe, the soccer player, smacked his head on that metal thing
over the stairs, and suggests we put some padding on it. Sara suggests we
banish tall people.
Aaron is performing tomorrow in Off-Off, in fact he's performing every week
from now on.
Cheetos and Cheetos Puffs are not the same things.
Marissa wants to bake stuff but needs the hardware. Bill and Dave to the
rescue!
Mural: Girl Alex brings out some paint colors, as does Agnes, and Ginny has
drawn a mural on the blackboard. Although Agnes's "colors" are actually
murals. Or collections of colors. One is a swoosh! Just a general swoosh,
not the Nike logo. Just something swooshy.
Ian randomly shouts "Rasterbator!" and "I found it accidentally!". OK, so
actually there was context, but I don't know what it was, so I'll ignore that.
Kate suggests the Chicago skyline (on behalf of Blake). Also, outer space! If
we do outer space can we have battling starships? Yes!
EIGHT (8) <- This is the number eight (8), representing eight objects: XXXXXXXX
There will be a mural. Lizgoetz wants to be in the minutes, but she has no
good reason to be. Forget I wrote this. Oh wait, she wants Chegall windows.
I suggest that instead of one big mural, we should just paint on windows - I
meant all onto the same scene (coherence), but they think it should be onto
different scenes. Oh, Lizgoetz wants to vote. Agnes wonders if we ought to
have some sort of quorum; Ginny rejects this on the basis that it was announced
to the listhost. Also, we have no sort of quorum in the constituion, TTBOMK.
Ginny appoints Sara as our official judge of ugliness wrt the mural. Someone
suggests glitter; this gets shouted down. Melissa suggests the pyramids of
Giza; Ginny asks about a vote on the Leaning Tower of Giza. What? Amelia and
Antonia have stolen the brownies! They claim to be protecting them.
Laura wants to put up decorations for Valentine's Day. Blech.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
Ginny nominates Antonia and Amelia for stealing the brownies?
Oh, Girl Alex forgot about paint colors! Background color, to go inbetween the
windows. Sarah Magidson wants the abstract swoosh thingy inbetween the
windows; this fails. It's decided that the decorating committee will decide
the color.
Kate the Younger nominates Joe for hitting his head.
Tyler nominates Wai Lee for doing Wai-Lee-like things.
Ian is nominated for naming people. There is confusion, and the story doesn't
get told; I'll write it in later.
OK, here's the story, as I have already recorded it elsewhere:
Friday night, Ian, quite drunk, was adressing people in very long form. He
followed everyone's name (just their first name, though) with their species and
sex (e.g., "Grant, human male"), and usually some additional information.
(Although once Grant was just "Grant... guy".)
Some good ones: "Amelia, human female, Katif's roommmate" - I may have that
name wrong, as obviously I wasn't there, and no-one seems to remember just what
it was; it was eventually determined, however, that he meant Zafir (who is
Aaron's roommate).
Fortunately, someone else has written this one down before me - "Blake, human
female, the only one you can go to in a dire situation... dire, meaning I'm in
a situation which is not conducive to present activity... meaning, I drunk a
lot."
He eventually, after throwing up into a bag, curled up on the couch, crying for
Steve, who eventually led him off to bed, Amelia carrying his vomit bag.
Ian wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Steve and Amelia are nominated for getting Ian to bed - Steve holding Ian's
hand, Amelia the vomit bag.
Sara nominates Ginny and her genetics textbook.
Kate nominates Girl Alex for peeing in Wai Lee's bed. What do you mean there's
no more story?
Any other nominations? What does Lizgoetz have to say? Oh, she was voting.
Girl Alex ties with Team Steve for Hero of the Week! They'll fight or
something for the win. Also, Kat will be watching a ridiculous Canadian movie
in the lounge for anyone who wants to see it.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 7 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Uh... where is everyone? Mark is doing some emergency pledging thing, Ginny is
making food, and so Girl Alex takes the lead. Is the social chair really the
ranking member, Grant asks? Tancer's not here, so Grant suggests *I* am! Then
Blake arrives, and Grant suggests the RA really is... Alex continues to lead
anyway.
Blake is going to the zoo tomorrow, around 2 - also the conservatory. It's a
bit less than an hour away. Also Chinese New Year is Sunday, so you should see
Chinatown. Don't drive, Dave declares.
Antonia finds a spider; Colleen doesn't want to kill it. It was not in the
eggs, calm down; meanwhile Blake talks about some all-Pierce ice-skating thing.
Blake wants to get a Happy Lamp? It's like a lamp but its spectrum is that of
the sun. It costs $40; that sounds really pointless, but it gets approved
anyway.
Movies: Friday is Metropolitan, about downwardly-mobile urban debutantes,
Saturday is Blade Runner.
Colleen reports: SG is doing their food drive - on March 2nd, they're doing
some sort of competition, giving $100 to the winning house. They want canned
stuff, primarily meat.
Agnes reports: We're selling shirts next week, there are still lots of slots
open, Tuesday to Friday, she'll send out an updated version of the schedule.
Ginny wants salt, Bill goes to get some.
Alex announces the color - it's green. What sort of green? It's like
aquamarine? Or like ugly, according to Kate.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Weenie nominations are lacking. I won't nominate Colin or Aaron because they
will probably win hero.
Eve nominates Mark Stankevitz for breaking a wine glass? It wasn't his wine
glass, either.
Ah, here's one. Kate tells us of how Alex had his toenails painted. Boy Alex?
No, Soccer Player Alex. He came into the lounge late at night and said, very
sullenly, "Does anyone have any nail polish remover?" And Ginny was very happy
to supply him with it. Apparently this is just a general nomination on
everyone who's pledging.
Alex tells a story of Kate: Kate is a commodore in the sailing club. She took
a bath with her clothes on with people she didn't really know. She doesn't
like baths normally, it's like a big deal... maybe. Kate expands - but that's
not the big deal, really. The big deal is that they made a *video* of it and
then watched it at sailing club. In summary, Kate nominates the Northwestern
Sailing Club for giving her lots of rum.
Alex nominates Thompson for giving us lots of alcohol; shouldn't that be hero?
Sarah wants to nominate Henderson for the 90's party.
Melissa would like to nominate the person at the gay marriage march the other
day who thought Antonia and her were getting married.
The gay marriage guy wins Weenie of the Week?
Hero of the Week:
Dan nominates Colin for his manly courtship of Aaron.
Kate nominates the Thompson RHs, who are really nice.
Alex nominates Jim for pretending the RA and kicking the baseball team out of
our table. Does this just happen to our table? Yeah, because we have the best
one.
Alex nominates Kat for being sexiled for an entire weekend. She thinks
everyone knows what happened when she walked into the room! Wait, what
happened? I don't know. Kat explains that Sara gave the excuse "We were just
studying." Sara would also like to nominate her for being the best person
ever.
Kate wants to review the Thompson RHs, they're really cool and nice. What did
they do? They were nice to us!
Colin wins Hero with Jim a close second.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 8 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
African food at Bartlett Tuesday, and all dining halls Wednesday. Also, study
break next week will be Tuesday rather than Monday.
Movies - Friday: Kill Bill vol 1, and Saturday a documentary called Crumb (sp?)
Blake announces Piercewide skating next Friday.
Laura reports for PTC: They're doing a composting thing? Also, nobody knows
what the hell is going on with TANSTAAFL, as Kelvin is nowhere to be found.
Agnes says, if you sold shirts, come pick up your free one. Also, there is
some sort of concert on Saturday?
Colleen repots: IHC is organizing a campuswide Assassins game! Details yet
unknown.
On Sunday April 1st someone's hosting a pancake breakfast, and Leslie said we
would have 10 people who would volunteer. Um...
Grace announces a Singaporean stand-up comedy thing on Saturday. You can buy
tickets from her. Dinner at 6:30, show at 8:00, symposium before that at 5.
Grace is dancing. Harish might be doing a guest performance too. He's
completely from Singapore, right?
Richard Perle (Secretary of Defense under Reagan) speaking on Wednesday at noon.
Leslie announces Men in Drag winter quarter concert; it's in bars - er, BARS,
i.e., Bartlett. Also, Leslie insults Colin via Facebook.
Blake has a bunch of TV shows - Firefly, House, something I missed - and
Antonia has Arrested Development, or part of it - and Kate Harney has Gilmore
Girls. Mark points out that there is a movie list, and these can go on it...
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Kat nominates Wai Lee for hopping around the halls with his pants around his
ankles. Amelia tells the story: It's Friday night, Wai Lee is drunk, is
coming down the hall and starts unbuckling his belt at me. "/At/ you?" "At
me." Kat points out, there was the line, "You know you want some of this."
Kate Harney tried to rebuckle it, but didn't rezip it or anything. And so he
was walking around with his pants starting around his hips and ending around
his ankles.
Tyler points out that Dmitry sucks.
Hero of the Week:
Grant is nominated for F-Zero X, and the music that goes with it. Mark opposes
this, on the basis that it's not Smash, and that he still hasn't got us good
Smash. He also thinks it's weird that Grant has non-Tufts friends.
Wilson nominates Soccer Player Alex for his Raiden hat? There was more but I
missed it. It's made out of beer boxes, though.
Dan nominates Joss for his Silver Surfer costume; Jake also tells us that Joss
bought $50 worth of stuff at Bart Mart, cash. Mark says that's Weenie! Jake
says it's hero because he's got the dollar dollar bills (?). Leslie talks
about Facebook some more.
Mark remembers something that Jacob should have been nominated for Weenie for
weeks and weeks ago:
Jacob, seeing Joss's photos from his time in Jamaica, asked Joss how he could
not have had a great time in Jamaica with such a hot girl. Joss says, it's his
sister. Jake adds: To which Jacob replied, So? Mark points out that's only if
it's a younger sister.
Joss wins hero of the week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Study break next week is Tuesday, not Monday. The RMs are also doing some
things I missed.
The refrigerator will be cleaned out over Spring Break and needs to be emptied
by then. Gigantic feast Friday night?
For Passover, you can get food money back since your meal points won't be much
use; there's a form you need to fill out.
The first OAide information session is Thursday; if you want to be an OAide,
you'll need to go to one. There'll be more, though.
We close at noon Saturday of Finals week, reopens 8 AM of Sunday, if you're
staying in the Shoreland there's a form you need to fill out.
The laundry room - it's kind of gross. Is that so new? Well, if you see
multiple dryers are out, tell the front desk.
Ice skating is tomorrow.
Leslie says pancakes. She also has a time, noon to 3, April 1st. What does
this mean? Oh, those who sign up will be serving them.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Ian jumps up! He nominates Mike, John, Ginny, Leslie, and Evette. He tells
the story: In the mail yesterday, Ian got a tonto. It's like a 7-inch piece of
wood. It's meant to resemble a knife, but, according to Ian, it also resembles
a dildo. So Ian hears a weird noise, like raspy breathing, and it turns out
it's Mike and John with the accordion. So they go around to various doors
doing this outside seeing if they get a response. Meanwhile, Ian is telling
some people about how the tonto could be used as a dildo. Enter Ginny, who
demonstrates ways of (actually) using one - "You can use it like this and like
this and like this..." ...yeah... anyway, Mike and John had stolen Leslie's
high heels, and Leslie thought they were hiding in the shower. Ian lends her
the tonto so she can threaten them. She stabs into a shower, but finds Luke
inside. I couldn't follow the rest.
Aaron nominates Ian for telling that story; Mark complains we can't do that
every week!
Sadie nominates Mark for his Crerar song. Leslie nominates Evette for falling
down and screaming? Mark was going to nominate Wai Lee for something, but
forgets what it was. In the meantime, he nominates Grant for *still* not
bringing good Smash! (But bringing F-Zero so Smash gets erased.)
Ian has important news! He can buy 4 new thumbsticks, first-party, on eBay,
like he did last year (you know, the ones that actually worked). It'll cost
$25. It passes!
Aaron nominates Wai Lee: Wai Lee is sitting on the couch, and hears F-Zero
upstairs. "I have to go," he says, and takes off, slipping on the rug and
falling flat on his face. Mark says this is yet another reason why F-Zero is
bad.
Pavel is nominated? So Pavel is standing in Kate Harney's doorway, looking at
her whiteboard, and Anthony and Rachel are at the end of the hall, and Anthony
says to Rachel, "Let's kick Pavel - I'll carry you", or something like that,
something that made it clear what they were going to do; and Rachel gets on
Anthony's back, and he runs down the hall, and as he passes Kate Harney's
doorway, Pavel turns around to face them and Anthony shouts "Kick!" and Rachel
sticks her foot out and (not deliberately, she insists) hits him straight in
the nuts; he collapses to the ground. This got Pavel saying that she must have
done it deliberately because his nuts aren't that large. Rachel was then
saying how she didn't even get a nickel for this, so I gave her one.
Grant nominates Mark for Tower Defence.
Pavel wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the Week:
Peter nominates Rachel and Anthony, see above. Mark reminds us all the kicking
people in the balls is *not* *good*.
Ian nominates Luke for his "wonderful coverup skills", Grant nominates Mark for
his Crerar song, Sadie nominates Pavel for helping her write a program when he
was drunk. Finally the boy's basketball team for "being awesome"? Oh wait,
Kate nominates me for staying awake for house meeting, though I wanted to go to
bed at 5!
I win Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 10 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
---------------------------------------
Ultimate Frisbee next quarter, email Dan about it with your ID number and what
day works best for you. Also there will be smores Sunday.
There is a huge debate over bowls, Mark tells me.
There is an OAide meeting tomorrow. When checking out, you should have closed
windows, locked doors, down blinds, unplugged devices (save for refrigerators)
and set-to-1 radiators. Remember the refrigerator is getting cleaned out.
Movie night: Ghost Dog. It's a hip-hop samurai movie? As for the second,
Babel, maybe? Mark votes for Indiana Jones again.
Pancake study break on ???. Sunday/Monday border is midnight breakfast. Do we
want to send a few people early, or all arrive late?
Bill announces pie for pi day! Aaron will eat 26 pancakes, by which he means
pies. RMs are doing pancake night on Monday night as well. Or is that
Tuesday? The point is, there will be food every day up till Wednesday! And
Thursday, Wai Lee and Aaron are providing study break. Grey Poupon, Mark says.
Kate: Does smores involve fire?
It does. Kate is happy.
Dan repeats the Ultimate Frisbee announcement. He would also like to say that
we need lots of people, and it doesn't matter if you suck or haven't played
before.
Alex announces that tomorrow is bathrobe day. Wear a bathrobe. Jim
demonstrates.
Aaron: What if you don't own a bathrobe?
Kate: Wear a towel!
Me: Why don't you own a bathrobe?
Aaron: Why would I own a bathrobe?
Mark: Why would Aaron own a bathrobe? He doesn't want to cover up the sexy!
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Mark nominates Jacob: At Alpha Delt, Jacob needs to go to the bathroom, but
there is a long line. He sees Sam ahead of him, and cuts in line up to
there... and then starts using the same toilet as Sam. "It's OK, we know each
other."
Mark forgot this one last week, though it's actually Hero: Aaron Puri. Last
quarter this guy was walking up and down the dining hall talking on his cell
phone, and he accidentally sets off the alarm; fortunately Chris Powers fingers
him out. So now it's this quarter, and the guy is doing it again. Aaron
shouts at him, "You're going to set off the alarm! There it is! You're
getting closer! You're getting closer!" Chris gets up and stares the guy down
until he stops.
Jake: Wait, you threw cherry tomatoes at him!
Mark: Yeah, that too.
Luke nominates Ian for hero of the month for the controllers, but we're not
doing hero yet.
Jacob wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero: Kenneth? Or is this a weenie story? Kat and Sara refuse to tell it.
Ian wins Weenie - er, Hero - of the Week!
-Harry
So, if you don't elect me secretary again, you won't have to endure this again. (Meanwhile still waiting for Appie to get her stuff together...)
You all know how it works by now. Headers are bolded. And, to make things even better, I'm now including big horizontal lines between weeks. You probably just want to skip to the Weenie of the Week stories, which this quarter included the now-infamous-in-Tufts story of Chris spitting on the chips.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 1 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Ian plans to usurp Aaron as Condom Czar this quarter, but his odds
aren't good. What? Condom Czar is yearlong? When did we do that?
Guess his odds are 0, then.
Constitution is amended to make social service chair, IM, and webmaster
yearlong.
Colin thinks Mark is the cheerleader.
Kate has a broomball team.
Mark may run for president, Ginny can run for vice president.
But! Now the 2/3rd nomination provision has been eliminated from the
constitution.
President nominations: Mark, Ginny, Chris (not present). Mark is
reelected.
Ginny takes vice president unopposed.
Also, Tancer needs an assistant/apprentice, a first-year, for selling
T-shirts and treasurering.
Nominees: Colin and Aviva nominate each other, also Agnes
Agnes says she knows shirt design, shirt-selling, and money-handling.
Aviva says she knows how to count and is failing calculus (after one
day!). She hopes this will help. Also she knows shirts?
Colin says he just got back from selling crack and pilfering house
funds, and is also really bad at math. But! Aviva, he says, would be a
good candidate, because she's really studious, and she has the will to
really do this, whereas he's shiftless and diabetic, and will probably
pilfer house funds to buy crack to sell to kindergarteners.
Agnes is the winner!
Social chair nominees: Alex, Dan - but Dan hates society! - but he
accepts the nomination since he still loves us; Sadie declines - no,
wait! Dan does decline, so Alex takes it unopposed
Assistant: Sadie and Dan - but Dan declines again, no, wait, he doesn't!
Sadie vs. Dan!
Dan hates society but loves Tufts House, and would like to help us
organize things and have fun.
Grant: What are some of your brilliant ideas?
Dan: Well...
Kate: Bowling... ice skating...
Mark: You're an amazing ventriloquist!
Dan: I will consult Kate on all of my ideas.
Alex: I will already do that.
Someone suggests Whirlyball.
Sadie likes Whirlyball but stresses the importance of the suggestion
box. Her door is also a suggestion box.
Well, after a bunch of talk about an amendment that would allow an
arbitrary number - or just 2 - social chairs, they ultimately decide to
go the Triumvirate way and not fight.
PTC time nominees: Evette, Laura, Charlotte declines, Colin, Peter
declines, Mark Stankevitz declines, all the Saras - sort of; they'll go
together for one meeting (otherwise, Evette replaces Wilson)
IHC nominees: Colleen, Wilson (not present; this time it's decided means
that doesn't count), so Colleen wins.
HARK (HARC?) we don't decide, PTC decides that. So that gets removed
from constitution.
Kitchen wench nominees: Sarah E, Kate the Younger. They'll go as a
team.
Birthday fairies are made yearlong.
Wait, we totally skipped secretary!
Secretary nominees: Dan declines, Jake (sitting in a chair looking
pretty cool with his thumb on his tooth) declines, Noah, and I decide to
run.
Noah has very little to say; Aviva says he meows like a cat. Also that
he types better than he speaks.
Wait, also, Steve... declines!
Aviva claims that Noah said that if he were secretary he would just say
"fuck it" and leave halfway through... not like any of our other
secretaries have done that...
Alex nominates Supriya, who declines.
I am reelected secretary... oh boy...
John Wood announces: He has a Wii! He wants it insured by the house.
As in, if the stuff is damaged, it would be nice if the house were to
pay for it. The suggestion is we give him $430, so if something
mysteriously breaks, he can take the money from that; we'll get the rest
back.
It passes; Dave notes that this is probably covered in our homeowner's
insurance.
Bill announces: Friday movie night is The Edukators, which is about
pranksters and sounds cool, Saturday is Sin City.
Secret winter father: Gift exchange is tomorrow, not tomorrow, which is
Summer's birthday. Just leave it by their door.
Kuviya starts next week. This is the thing that involves getting up at
6:00 and doing calistenics and going to the point. Also, Friday is the
polar bear run. You only get a shirt if you go every single day of the
week... or make someone else go and say they're you, as Rachel did.
Ice skating tomorrow, 7:40, RMs are planning a ballet trip, they're
going to watch House.
Broomball is on Tuesday nights, 7 and 8? It gets $30.
I will come back next week with input switch information, and possibly
TV information, though I will wait for the repair attempt for the
second.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
The whole thing going on with Noah, Aviva, Colin, and Antonia on the
lishost... I can't follow it. Colin is the nominee.
Kat nominates Sara for failing to make instant pudding.
Jake nominates Jim for shaving with the full knowledge that he was the
last beard in the house.
Kenneth nominates this meeting for exceeding an hour.
This meeting wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Kenneth wins unopposed for beginning repairs/tuning of the piano.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 2 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
The law school has been selling shirts that say "Where fun comes to
die!" Apparently we actually have a copyright on that. A copyright?
Not a trademark or something? I suppose a trademark wouldn't make much
sense. Neither would a copyright! Whatever it is, we have the rights,
we're not going to allow this.
President Zimmer is coming to Tufts tomorrow! Huh? Apparently this
will happen to all the houses. Chris wonders if he will have an
entourage. Or trumpeters or heralds, or maybe secret servicemen. We
should ask him to play Smash! We must not let him play Ian, though.
Put the dishes away for him, though.
Does anyone have questions about the college roundtable? Leslie does.
There are 3 showings, check the email. It's all in the RH's apartment.
It's about a 2 hour movie. They need about a dozen people.
Movie nights: Friday is Breakfast at Tiffany's, Saturday is Moulin
Rouge.
The survey - do the survey, guys! It helps the house! If not enough
people do it, Bill and Dave will knock on doors. Mark suggests they get
the Blitz Brothers to do the knocking for them.
Alex announces that Whirlyball is a given. Also this quarter their
theme is aesthetics. WTF? Is Whirlyball included in aesthetics? Alex
says "you'll see." They're gonna go to a symphony. Also Dan wants to
actually paint the house. I say we should paint the house while driving
around in little karts. Mark reminds us that we don't want to look like
Max.
Alex: We'll do fun things, I promsise - no! *I* think they're fun! You
know what else is fun? Shooting ranges, etc?
Sarah E reminds of the date/time list for Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
Dave points out that many people are not wearing glasses.
Alex continues: Also, we were thinking of doing something for
Jan-Michael, but we don't know what yet. Ginny will take care of it,
apparently.
Leslie announces: On Sunday, for MLK day, there will be south side
Chicago tours, of areas important to the civil rights movement. We have
4 people so far.
Colleen reports: RA applications are open, and IHC is considering
proposing to housing that we start introducing gender-neutral rooms.
Laura announces: Laura writes for Triple Helix and she wants writers,
editors, whatever. What is Triple Helix? It's a student publication.
February 8th is an introductory meeting.
Ginny has the signups for house snack! If you sign up, Ginny will help
you. Remember, you get reimbursed up to $20. Also Mark wants to get
$60 of Depot for study break once. Wait! Many of the first-years do
not know what Depot is! 12:00 tonight, then, they'll do a run. Mark
explains what Depot is, I need not explain it here. Except to remind
you that if you order fries, they give you a sign of fries.
Mark: The burgers are so greasy, they don't taste like meat - they taste
like *grease*! But it's *good*!
Nadja: Arteries are overrated.
I announce that I know nothing about getting stuff and I suggest we get
someone else to get us a new TV and input switch. Ian enters right on
cue.
Grant: You enjoy procuring house items, right?
Ian agrees to research the stuff in my place. It should be cheap, but
must not be a Yobo TV!
Alex wants the social chairs to take over the board above the community
service board. It's official.
Also, Broomball starts next Tuesday.
Also, Dan is going to every Hitchcock film at Doc.
Charlotte wants sugar; Alex has some, so do the RHs.
Nadja asks, How long are these Christmas decorations going to be up?
Alex suggests they'll go away when the decorators get started. Sarah E
suggests Groundhog Day decorations. I love it. Mark suggests getting
groundhogs and just setting them loose (in Shorey). Sadie suggests Mark
should dress up as a huge groundhog; Mark says he will if she supplies
the costumes. So who's on the decorating committee? Alex, Evette,
others - if you want to be on it, talk to Alex.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Sara nominates Colin for pushing her down on the ice. Colin insists
that's not what really happened... Sara tells the story. On Friday, at
the skating rink, Colin was trying to be really manly by slamming into
the wall. He turned away at the last moment, though. Trying again, he
bumped into Sara, knocked her over, and shouted "Who's the pussy now?!"
(Though he did not do it deliberately or put his foot on her back as he
claims.)
When Wilson, Aaron, Ian, and Colin - no, no, we're moving on.
Noah nominates Ian: Ian had a tea party in his room, but instead of
using stuffed animals, he used real people.
Nadja nominates Kenneth, Summer tells the story: Friday night was
Summer's birthday, it was late, and Kenneth devised this drink, which he
called a "Hot Dicking" (a la Dr. Tran), and so they were walking around
the hall, they meet Kate Harney and her friends, and Kenneth asks them,
"Do you want a hot dicking?" He continues to be like, "Guys, guys,
c'mon, don't you want a hot dicking?" completely scary them. Also he
apparently declared Summer the mistress of hot dickings.
Dan nominates Michael Toney for cracking the dining hall window. He had
his backpack on the back of one of the dining hall chairs; when he got
up, the chair fell back and cracked the window. Everybody clapped for
him.
Kenneth wins Weenie of the Week!
Nadja: Also, for the record, hot chocolate and peppermint Schnapps, if
he asks you if you want a hot dicking.
Sadie: The answer is yes.
Hero of the Week:
Evette nominates Mark the Younger for singing all of My Fair Lady in the
practice room.
Sadie nominates Kenneth for inventing the hot dicking.
Toney once again for the window.
Sara nominates Sarah M for putting Sara's juice in the fridge.
Apparently Sara is very, very lazy, not unlike a blob.
Toney wins Hero of the Week!
Our RH Dave goes on record to say:
Breaking windows on purpose isn't OK.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 3 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Getting another table? Ian tells us he can get us a cheap TV for about
$210. Apparently that's really cheap. How much money do we actually
have? Where the hell is Tancer? Agnes will find out for us. Chairs we
can get from facilities for free. Leslie was in the basement of BJ
looking at a room full of chairs. What?
So are we buying the TV if we have... $300? $500? $1000? Why don't we
just bug Tancer and hold a special vote? Look's like we're doing that.
Dave just wanted to check on the noise situation, all seems well there.
Mostly, anyway. So what about the loud gamers? There don't seem to be
any real complaints, and closing the lounge doors helps a lot... oh
wait, Bill and Dave do kind of live here, don't they? Hm. But also it
is the all-night studiers who are loud. I'm not sure what the
conclusion here is, there doesn't seem to be one.
Bill: We need to find an occassion to beat Henderson house at something!
Firstly, the housing survey. The house does not respond well - but Bill
points out, it was Henderson's RH who designed the survey, and is
convinced they're going to get the highest turnout. It would be pretty
sweet to beat them at their own game. (For the contrary viewpoint:
Since when does Tufts play Henderson's game? But really guys, do the
housing survey because it helps the house.) Also, Sports Frolic! Yes
guys! We're going to win Sports Frolic! 8:00 PM ("This is Pierce, not
Snell") next Saturday (not this Saturday). Kate Harney doesn't want to
go, but we need everyone we can get.
Chris and Sam seem very excited about something involving Ian and Laura
- "You were not contacting her!" - OH! They were talking about Sam
finally killing Ian! The game's over guys, seriously.
Blake: We also need to think of a sport to run for the other houses.
Aaron: Smash!
Nadja: Boobtag!
RH movie night - Friday: Central Station; Saturday - Descent (no
relation to the computer game)
Antonia wants to do something involing old people's homes on same day as
Sports Frolic.
Dave: And there's old people!
Leslie also advertises another vampire pyramid scheme.
Agnes has no idea what the budget is, but the order for the shirts is
being placed tomorrow. But she lost everyone's sizes, so you'll need to
right them down again.
Sara Abarbanel complains about leaking sinks, which can in fact be
turned off if turned really hard; Alex suggests putting up a sign
telling people to turn them off.
The building has a new facilities manager! Octavia has retired, and the
new one is someone Bill and Dave have worked with before.
Kate: Can we make her [Octavia] a card, "We love you even though you
hate us?"
Alex is throwing a yoga study break on Tuesday. Really Alex? If you
don't want to come, she says, we don't want you there.
Also, potluck Saturday, talk to Alex. Also Agnes wants to know who
wants pyrogies.
Blake talks about a rummage sale, you can get rid of stuff, but I'm not
sure you'll actually get the money. Also, if you can give away any
jackets or shoes, Dave's patients could use them. Also CSO is doing
Rite of Spring?
Ian won the Assassins game with 7 kills to Sam's 1, so Kate Harney gives
him the W necklace and an issue of Stuff magazine.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
Sara nominates Ian for talking about using balloons condoms. Ian wants
to talk about his Assassins victory; the house boos him down. Grant
nominates him from killing Steve, though that was, you know, kind of his
mission.
Sam tells us: Friday night, as many of you know, Chris, Ben, Jacob and I
got duck suits for a party - a lingerie party. We were walking coming
back and walking down an alley and we run into these two big guys, and
they tell us, they're from Fiji, they play football.
Chris: Oh, you think you're badasses, cause you play division 3 football?
Fiji guy: Well, what do you play?
Chris: Where are you from?
Fiji guy: What?
Chris: Where are you from?
Fiji guy: Well, I'm from Michigan.
Other Fiji guy: I'm from Michigan too.
Chris: Well, I'm from the South, and I watch better football down there,
so that makes me better than you!
As they came back onto the quads, Chris would chase around whoever he
found, wearing his duck suit.
Later, at Bart Mart:
Sam hears the lady going, "Why would you spit on the chips?"
Chris has apparently spit on the chips for no good reason.
And there's Chris saying, I'm so sorry, I promise I'll pay for it.
Lady: But why would you spit on the chips?
Chris: Fuck you!
We come back, Sam continues, we go up to Henderson - he pounds on - or
body slams - every single door, and everyone comes out of their rooms
and thinks it's Sam. He finally finds Chris passed out on his bed.
Chris also apparently ran around naked at one point.
Chris wins with no opposition!
Hero of the Week:
Aaron nominates me - he was in his room, door open, headphones on, note
on his whiteboard saying "I can't hear you." And suddenly he feels this
blow to the head - turning around, he sees me, with a pillow.
Why did you hit me? he asks.
Because you couldn't hear me!
Also nominated is John Wood, for going up to Shorey in a shopping cart,
going around the halls, saying not a word, as Shorey people followed
him, audibly wondering about who he was and what he was doing. Finally,
he arrived in the Shorey kitchen, and placed his ice cream in their
fridge. This ice cream is the worst ice cream Mark has ever tasted,
apparently, and is just generally really nasty, so this is a good thing.
Also, he finally got his doorbell working!
John Wood wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 4 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Grant calls for announcements; Joss hates math.
Mark is all dressed up.
RH movies - Friday: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Saturday: Indiana Jones and the
Temple of Doom. Shouldn't we show Raiders of the Lost Ark first?
Sports Frolic - 8:00 Henry Crown. We are doing the orange navel relay - wait,
what?! Orange *neck* relay, sorry. Maybe that was supposed to be orange naval
relay? That doesn't exactly make sense either.
Alex points out that Ian is wondering where his steering wheel is.
Colleen tells us about the Battle of the Bulbs. If you want to do it, ask
Colleen. They also have free compact bulbs downstairs. Also, we need to
determine the house's official stance on gender-neutral rooms, or else Colleen
will simply report that Tufts House abstains. Also, drunk vans are now buses
and supposedly more reliable.
Also - 8:00 monday, Bill and Dave are doing RH interviews for other houses;
they could use a few students to help. Sort of like RA interviews.
Whoever our PTC rep is, could they do something about the washers? Laura and
Eve aren't here, and Colin doesn't do anything. Well, the guys are working on
that. If you leave your laundry there a long time, they'll move it.
How soon can we get a guy to fix the TV cable? Dave forgot, I'll remind him.
We did really well on the house survey, but final figures aren't in yet. Also,
Dave speaks for Emily and tells people to sell ...so, it's now several days
later and I have no idea what I was originally writing there, but I think that
word was supposed to be "see", not "sell".
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Antonia nominates Colin: Jake's girlfriend, in town and wanting to surprise
Jake, talking to Jake on the phone, asks to talk to one of his friends; he puts
Wai Lee on. She asks him to bring her from the airport to Pierce, as she
doesn't know the way. He doesn't want to do it, so he puts Colin on. He
agrees. Only problem is that apparently he doesn't know the way either. He
gets *to* Midway with little problem, but then they take the bus and somehow
end up on 63rd. They walk to 55th, but are apparently on the wrong side of
Chicago. They get on the bus, which they take to the orange line, and end up
back at Midway where they started. They then take the real 55 bus to Pierce.
Colin wins Weenie of the Week unopposed!
Hero of the Week:
Mark nominates Kenneth for accidentally showing up for his math midterm. Sara
nominates Sarah M for putting up the save water signs. Grant nominates Mark
and everyone for keeping the meeting (and their minutes) short. Nadja
nominates Marco, her econ TA, for volunteering to move the midterm from the day
after the Superbowl, even though the other students actually didn't want it
moved. Mark hopes the rioting and noise, which will violate quiet hours, but
he'll be in Miami so it won't be his fault, disrupts them all and causes them
all to fail the midterm. Blake nominates Agnes for pyrogies. Antonia
nominates that entire study break.
Agnes wins Hero of the Week!
OK guys - to save paper, I'm now putting more text in each row.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 5 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Screw facilities, Dave has fixed the TV himself! He rethreaded the cable. You
read that right. Many yays to Dave.
So the painting the lounge may be able to go ahead? I missed most of this.
Movies - Friday: Before Sunrise; Saturday: Snakes on a Plane (in English, not
Spanish)
Battle of the Bulbs has started. Conserve energy, but don't go unplugging all
our stuff, OK? In particular, DO NOT TURN OFF THE N64! Also, bug Grant to get
his friend to mail him the Smash cartridge. But turn off your lights when
you're not using them.
Ida Noyes, 8 tomorrow, Sunday at 2, Katy is in Sleeping Beauty. Folk Festival
this weekend, too.
Orchestra, go to that then you can go the party at Millikan afterward? The
concert is in Rockefeller.
Colleen announces a blood drive next week, please don't help the vampires.
Also there is collecting canned goods - also a building things out of canned
goods contest? That sounds like a tremendous waste of food. Don't support
food wasting.
Ian says that an aquarium trip is still a possibility. I won't record the next
thing. However! Ian thinks he can replace the Smash battery. Chris suggests
we just get a new cartridge from EBay. I say we Grant should get this friend
of his to send him the cartridge in the mail.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Alex nominates Chris: "Someone tried to come in my room. And everyone else's
room."
Kate expands on the story: So Chris was going into everyone's room (who hadn't
locked theirs), and walked into Jake's room... where he found 2 naked people,
and quickly left. But wait, he reflected, something's not right here. Does
Jake have a mistress *and* a girlfriend? He figured he'd better go ask him,
and walked right back in. Jake just flipped him off.
Chris wins Weenie unopposed!
Hero of the Week:
Laura nominates Antonia for the CD thing.
Alex reports that she and Kate tried to turn off the lights in the second floor
lobby, but someone told them they didn't have the authority. Can she get the
authority? This seems unrelated to Hero; I'm assuming Antonia wins that.
Yes short minutes!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 6 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Dave ripped his thumbnail off by accident. Ew...
Movies: None on Friday, Blade Runner on Saturday.
Laura reports: We actually had all 3 representatives at PTC this week! They're
considering implementing a house composting policy. Also, they're talking
about what TANSTAAFL should get. They're talking about a new pool table, but I
think a new toaster oven is much more important so they can get their cheese
sticks back on track (even though they strictly speaking don't need one). Sara
would rather buy cheese sticks frozen, bring them back upstairs, and toast them
herself. WTF?
Agnes announces shirt-selling, if you want to sign up, talk to her about that.
Also, if you do, you get a free shirt.
Tyler tells us how Joe, the soccer player, smacked his head on that metal thing
over the stairs, and suggests we put some padding on it. Sara suggests we
banish tall people.
Aaron is performing tomorrow in Off-Off, in fact he's performing every week
from now on.
Cheetos and Cheetos Puffs are not the same things.
Marissa wants to bake stuff but needs the hardware. Bill and Dave to the
rescue!
Mural: Girl Alex brings out some paint colors, as does Agnes, and Ginny has
drawn a mural on the blackboard. Although Agnes's "colors" are actually
murals. Or collections of colors. One is a swoosh! Just a general swoosh,
not the Nike logo. Just something swooshy.
Ian randomly shouts "Rasterbator!" and "I found it accidentally!". OK, so
actually there was context, but I don't know what it was, so I'll ignore that.
Kate suggests the Chicago skyline (on behalf of Blake). Also, outer space! If
we do outer space can we have battling starships? Yes!
EIGHT (8) <- This is the number eight (8), representing eight objects: XXXXXXXX
There will be a mural. Lizgoetz wants to be in the minutes, but she has no
good reason to be. Forget I wrote this. Oh wait, she wants Chegall windows.
I suggest that instead of one big mural, we should just paint on windows - I
meant all onto the same scene (coherence), but they think it should be onto
different scenes. Oh, Lizgoetz wants to vote. Agnes wonders if we ought to
have some sort of quorum; Ginny rejects this on the basis that it was announced
to the listhost. Also, we have no sort of quorum in the constituion, TTBOMK.
Ginny appoints Sara as our official judge of ugliness wrt the mural. Someone
suggests glitter; this gets shouted down. Melissa suggests the pyramids of
Giza; Ginny asks about a vote on the Leaning Tower of Giza. What? Amelia and
Antonia have stolen the brownies! They claim to be protecting them.
Laura wants to put up decorations for Valentine's Day. Blech.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK:
Ginny nominates Antonia and Amelia for stealing the brownies?
Oh, Girl Alex forgot about paint colors! Background color, to go inbetween the
windows. Sarah Magidson wants the abstract swoosh thingy inbetween the
windows; this fails. It's decided that the decorating committee will decide
the color.
Kate the Younger nominates Joe for hitting his head.
Tyler nominates Wai Lee for doing Wai-Lee-like things.
Ian is nominated for naming people. There is confusion, and the story doesn't
get told; I'll write it in later.
OK, here's the story, as I have already recorded it elsewhere:
Friday night, Ian, quite drunk, was adressing people in very long form. He
followed everyone's name (just their first name, though) with their species and
sex (e.g., "Grant, human male"), and usually some additional information.
(Although once Grant was just "Grant... guy".)
Some good ones: "Amelia, human female, Katif's roommmate" - I may have that
name wrong, as obviously I wasn't there, and no-one seems to remember just what
it was; it was eventually determined, however, that he meant Zafir (who is
Aaron's roommate).
Fortunately, someone else has written this one down before me - "Blake, human
female, the only one you can go to in a dire situation... dire, meaning I'm in
a situation which is not conducive to present activity... meaning, I drunk a
lot."
He eventually, after throwing up into a bag, curled up on the couch, crying for
Steve, who eventually led him off to bed, Amelia carrying his vomit bag.
Ian wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Steve and Amelia are nominated for getting Ian to bed - Steve holding Ian's
hand, Amelia the vomit bag.
Sara nominates Ginny and her genetics textbook.
Kate nominates Girl Alex for peeing in Wai Lee's bed. What do you mean there's
no more story?
Any other nominations? What does Lizgoetz have to say? Oh, she was voting.
Girl Alex ties with Team Steve for Hero of the Week! They'll fight or
something for the win. Also, Kat will be watching a ridiculous Canadian movie
in the lounge for anyone who wants to see it.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 7 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------
Uh... where is everyone? Mark is doing some emergency pledging thing, Ginny is
making food, and so Girl Alex takes the lead. Is the social chair really the
ranking member, Grant asks? Tancer's not here, so Grant suggests *I* am! Then
Blake arrives, and Grant suggests the RA really is... Alex continues to lead
anyway.
Blake is going to the zoo tomorrow, around 2 - also the conservatory. It's a
bit less than an hour away. Also Chinese New Year is Sunday, so you should see
Chinatown. Don't drive, Dave declares.
Antonia finds a spider; Colleen doesn't want to kill it. It was not in the
eggs, calm down; meanwhile Blake talks about some all-Pierce ice-skating thing.
Blake wants to get a Happy Lamp? It's like a lamp but its spectrum is that of
the sun. It costs $40; that sounds really pointless, but it gets approved
anyway.
Movies: Friday is Metropolitan, about downwardly-mobile urban debutantes,
Saturday is Blade Runner.
Colleen reports: SG is doing their food drive - on March 2nd, they're doing
some sort of competition, giving $100 to the winning house. They want canned
stuff, primarily meat.
Agnes reports: We're selling shirts next week, there are still lots of slots
open, Tuesday to Friday, she'll send out an updated version of the schedule.
Ginny wants salt, Bill goes to get some.
Alex announces the color - it's green. What sort of green? It's like
aquamarine? Or like ugly, according to Kate.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Weenie nominations are lacking. I won't nominate Colin or Aaron because they
will probably win hero.
Eve nominates Mark Stankevitz for breaking a wine glass? It wasn't his wine
glass, either.
Ah, here's one. Kate tells us of how Alex had his toenails painted. Boy Alex?
No, Soccer Player Alex. He came into the lounge late at night and said, very
sullenly, "Does anyone have any nail polish remover?" And Ginny was very happy
to supply him with it. Apparently this is just a general nomination on
everyone who's pledging.
Alex tells a story of Kate: Kate is a commodore in the sailing club. She took
a bath with her clothes on with people she didn't really know. She doesn't
like baths normally, it's like a big deal... maybe. Kate expands - but that's
not the big deal, really. The big deal is that they made a *video* of it and
then watched it at sailing club. In summary, Kate nominates the Northwestern
Sailing Club for giving her lots of rum.
Alex nominates Thompson for giving us lots of alcohol; shouldn't that be hero?
Sarah wants to nominate Henderson for the 90's party.
Melissa would like to nominate the person at the gay marriage march the other
day who thought Antonia and her were getting married.
The gay marriage guy wins Weenie of the Week?
Hero of the Week:
Dan nominates Colin for his manly courtship of Aaron.
Kate nominates the Thompson RHs, who are really nice.
Alex nominates Jim for pretending the RA and kicking the baseball team out of
our table. Does this just happen to our table? Yeah, because we have the best
one.
Alex nominates Kat for being sexiled for an entire weekend. She thinks
everyone knows what happened when she walked into the room! Wait, what
happened? I don't know. Kat explains that Sara gave the excuse "We were just
studying." Sara would also like to nominate her for being the best person
ever.
Kate wants to review the Thompson RHs, they're really cool and nice. What did
they do? They were nice to us!
Colin wins Hero with Jim a close second.
QUARTER 2 WEEK 8 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
African food at Bartlett Tuesday, and all dining halls Wednesday. Also, study
break next week will be Tuesday rather than Monday.
Movies - Friday: Kill Bill vol 1, and Saturday a documentary called Crumb (sp?)
Blake announces Piercewide skating next Friday.
Laura reports for PTC: They're doing a composting thing? Also, nobody knows
what the hell is going on with TANSTAAFL, as Kelvin is nowhere to be found.
Agnes says, if you sold shirts, come pick up your free one. Also, there is
some sort of concert on Saturday?
Colleen repots: IHC is organizing a campuswide Assassins game! Details yet
unknown.
On Sunday April 1st someone's hosting a pancake breakfast, and Leslie said we
would have 10 people who would volunteer. Um...
Grace announces a Singaporean stand-up comedy thing on Saturday. You can buy
tickets from her. Dinner at 6:30, show at 8:00, symposium before that at 5.
Grace is dancing. Harish might be doing a guest performance too. He's
completely from Singapore, right?
Richard Perle (Secretary of Defense under Reagan) speaking on Wednesday at noon.
Leslie announces Men in Drag winter quarter concert; it's in bars - er, BARS,
i.e., Bartlett. Also, Leslie insults Colin via Facebook.
Blake has a bunch of TV shows - Firefly, House, something I missed - and
Antonia has Arrested Development, or part of it - and Kate Harney has Gilmore
Girls. Mark points out that there is a movie list, and these can go on it...
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Kat nominates Wai Lee for hopping around the halls with his pants around his
ankles. Amelia tells the story: It's Friday night, Wai Lee is drunk, is
coming down the hall and starts unbuckling his belt at me. "/At/ you?" "At
me." Kat points out, there was the line, "You know you want some of this."
Kate Harney tried to rebuckle it, but didn't rezip it or anything. And so he
was walking around with his pants starting around his hips and ending around
his ankles.
Tyler points out that Dmitry sucks.
Hero of the Week:
Grant is nominated for F-Zero X, and the music that goes with it. Mark opposes
this, on the basis that it's not Smash, and that he still hasn't got us good
Smash. He also thinks it's weird that Grant has non-Tufts friends.
Wilson nominates Soccer Player Alex for his Raiden hat? There was more but I
missed it. It's made out of beer boxes, though.
Dan nominates Joss for his Silver Surfer costume; Jake also tells us that Joss
bought $50 worth of stuff at Bart Mart, cash. Mark says that's Weenie! Jake
says it's hero because he's got the dollar dollar bills (?). Leslie talks
about Facebook some more.
Mark remembers something that Jacob should have been nominated for Weenie for
weeks and weeks ago:
Jacob, seeing Joss's photos from his time in Jamaica, asked Joss how he could
not have had a great time in Jamaica with such a hot girl. Joss says, it's his
sister. Jake adds: To which Jacob replied, So? Mark points out that's only if
it's a younger sister.
Joss wins hero of the week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 9 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Study break next week is Tuesday, not Monday. The RMs are also doing some
things I missed.
The refrigerator will be cleaned out over Spring Break and needs to be emptied
by then. Gigantic feast Friday night?
For Passover, you can get food money back since your meal points won't be much
use; there's a form you need to fill out.
The first OAide information session is Thursday; if you want to be an OAide,
you'll need to go to one. There'll be more, though.
We close at noon Saturday of Finals week, reopens 8 AM of Sunday, if you're
staying in the Shoreland there's a form you need to fill out.
The laundry room - it's kind of gross. Is that so new? Well, if you see
multiple dryers are out, tell the front desk.
Ice skating is tomorrow.
Leslie says pancakes. She also has a time, noon to 3, April 1st. What does
this mean? Oh, those who sign up will be serving them.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Ian jumps up! He nominates Mike, John, Ginny, Leslie, and Evette. He tells
the story: In the mail yesterday, Ian got a tonto. It's like a 7-inch piece of
wood. It's meant to resemble a knife, but, according to Ian, it also resembles
a dildo. So Ian hears a weird noise, like raspy breathing, and it turns out
it's Mike and John with the accordion. So they go around to various doors
doing this outside seeing if they get a response. Meanwhile, Ian is telling
some people about how the tonto could be used as a dildo. Enter Ginny, who
demonstrates ways of (actually) using one - "You can use it like this and like
this and like this..." ...yeah... anyway, Mike and John had stolen Leslie's
high heels, and Leslie thought they were hiding in the shower. Ian lends her
the tonto so she can threaten them. She stabs into a shower, but finds Luke
inside. I couldn't follow the rest.
Aaron nominates Ian for telling that story; Mark complains we can't do that
every week!
Sadie nominates Mark for his Crerar song. Leslie nominates Evette for falling
down and screaming? Mark was going to nominate Wai Lee for something, but
forgets what it was. In the meantime, he nominates Grant for *still* not
bringing good Smash! (But bringing F-Zero so Smash gets erased.)
Ian has important news! He can buy 4 new thumbsticks, first-party, on eBay,
like he did last year (you know, the ones that actually worked). It'll cost
$25. It passes!
Aaron nominates Wai Lee: Wai Lee is sitting on the couch, and hears F-Zero
upstairs. "I have to go," he says, and takes off, slipping on the rug and
falling flat on his face. Mark says this is yet another reason why F-Zero is
bad.
Pavel is nominated? So Pavel is standing in Kate Harney's doorway, looking at
her whiteboard, and Anthony and Rachel are at the end of the hall, and Anthony
says to Rachel, "Let's kick Pavel - I'll carry you", or something like that,
something that made it clear what they were going to do; and Rachel gets on
Anthony's back, and he runs down the hall, and as he passes Kate Harney's
doorway, Pavel turns around to face them and Anthony shouts "Kick!" and Rachel
sticks her foot out and (not deliberately, she insists) hits him straight in
the nuts; he collapses to the ground. This got Pavel saying that she must have
done it deliberately because his nuts aren't that large. Rachel was then
saying how she didn't even get a nickel for this, so I gave her one.
Grant nominates Mark for Tower Defence.
Pavel wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the Week:
Peter nominates Rachel and Anthony, see above. Mark reminds us all the kicking
people in the balls is *not* *good*.
Ian nominates Luke for his "wonderful coverup skills", Grant nominates Mark for
his Crerar song, Sadie nominates Pavel for helping her write a program when he
was drunk. Finally the boy's basketball team for "being awesome"? Oh wait,
Kate nominates me for staying awake for house meeting, though I wanted to go to
bed at 5!
I win Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 2 WEEK 10 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
---------------------------------------
Ultimate Frisbee next quarter, email Dan about it with your ID number and what
day works best for you. Also there will be smores Sunday.
There is a huge debate over bowls, Mark tells me.
There is an OAide meeting tomorrow. When checking out, you should have closed
windows, locked doors, down blinds, unplugged devices (save for refrigerators)
and set-to-1 radiators. Remember the refrigerator is getting cleaned out.
Movie night: Ghost Dog. It's a hip-hop samurai movie? As for the second,
Babel, maybe? Mark votes for Indiana Jones again.
Pancake study break on ???. Sunday/Monday border is midnight breakfast. Do we
want to send a few people early, or all arrive late?
Bill announces pie for pi day! Aaron will eat 26 pancakes, by which he means
pies. RMs are doing pancake night on Monday night as well. Or is that
Tuesday? The point is, there will be food every day up till Wednesday! And
Thursday, Wai Lee and Aaron are providing study break. Grey Poupon, Mark says.
Kate: Does smores involve fire?
It does. Kate is happy.
Dan repeats the Ultimate Frisbee announcement. He would also like to say that
we need lots of people, and it doesn't matter if you suck or haven't played
before.
Alex announces that tomorrow is bathrobe day. Wear a bathrobe. Jim
demonstrates.
Aaron: What if you don't own a bathrobe?
Kate: Wear a towel!
Me: Why don't you own a bathrobe?
Aaron: Why would I own a bathrobe?
Mark: Why would Aaron own a bathrobe? He doesn't want to cover up the sexy!
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Mark nominates Jacob: At Alpha Delt, Jacob needs to go to the bathroom, but
there is a long line. He sees Sam ahead of him, and cuts in line up to
there... and then starts using the same toilet as Sam. "It's OK, we know each
other."
Mark forgot this one last week, though it's actually Hero: Aaron Puri. Last
quarter this guy was walking up and down the dining hall talking on his cell
phone, and he accidentally sets off the alarm; fortunately Chris Powers fingers
him out. So now it's this quarter, and the guy is doing it again. Aaron
shouts at him, "You're going to set off the alarm! There it is! You're
getting closer! You're getting closer!" Chris gets up and stares the guy down
until he stops.
Jake: Wait, you threw cherry tomatoes at him!
Mark: Yeah, that too.
Luke nominates Ian for hero of the month for the controllers, but we're not
doing hero yet.
Jacob wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero: Kenneth? Or is this a weenie story? Kat and Sara refuse to tell it.
Ian wins Weenie - er, Hero - of the Week!
-Harry
