Year 3, quarter 3, in summary
Jul. 14th, 2008 05:07 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sniffnoy[EDIT March 31 2013: No longer friends-locked.]
Here at last... house minutes! Friends-locked by tradition, though perhaps I should rethink that. In any case...
They start with week 2, because week 1 we still had Aaron for secretary.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 2 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Sasha has something in her hair.
Colin wants $8 subsidy for 6 flags, it passes. Also, people are getting killed?
I get the killing people higher on the housing list, but why kill people going
to 6 flags? I would think kill people voting against...
We're having a Talent Show! Oh boy! Maybe I'll click my tongue... It's on
April 30, but nobody knows when that is. Email Ashley or Dani. Nothing
offensive? Huh? How is Wai Lee to perform? Oh, apparently April 30th is
Wednesday of 5th week. I have a hard time believing this is actually going to
work.
OBS show this Saturday. 5-7 dinner, 7:30 show. What's OBS? Nobody says.
Eve doesn't know where dinner is, either. Oh no, confusion! Also exists
afterparty. Tickets sold in Reynolds.
Jeremy says Frisbee on W afternoons, floor hockey T nights, water polo (!) W
nights, softball varies. Emails will be sent. More importantly, we are in 4th
place for housing cup, so if we start winning, we could actually win. It's a
nice cup, apparently. Will we drink out of it? What will we drink out of it?
Jeremy wants that bloody cup. Blood, then?
Midnight soccer Thursdays at 10. This week vs Woodward. People don't like rain
but Mike likes lightning, because it's epic.
Story: Colin was walking in the rain with Aviva and Dan, when a cop car went by.
Ashamed of his appearance, he hid behind the others; the cop thought he was
sneaking up on them and turned on its sirens.
T-shirt sales, ploo. There's a sign-up sheet.
Friday night movie: Sky High. Has anyone seen it? Aaron has? Well, he's not
here. It has Kurt Russell and is kind of a B-movie.
This weekend and next weekend: Prospie weekends! You don't need to get them
drunk in a bad attempt to make a point. They might end up with their kidneys
stolen or something. Bring them to midnight soccer, though. See Kurt.
SSA has a trivia night (not a trivial night). It falls on the day of silence.
But day of silence ends at 17:00, while trivia starts later than that. Also,
day of silence is now followed by night of noise? Interesting. Also, satirical
straight marriage debate!
Books are to be sorted, there's a list, on the board. Ploo. Saturday after
this. Also, when Colin was in high school, he did this, but they gave him gummi
fish hygienically unfit for homeless people.
Eve does her job. Or does she? Maybe we'll get to shout at the VP again!
Colin doesn't want you doing study break if he doesn't trust your food. This
eliminates everyone but Jo, Sarah Magidson, and Steve.
Something is said about Jeremy Kane's nipples. Milan says something
incomprehensible about something Latin and sexy, and machetes.
Scav hunt is having an informational study break, Monday in TANSTAAFL.
Assassins begins 23:59 Sunday. Squirt guns or socks, rules to come. Also
aliases.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Colin nominates a weird kid in a suit and tie carrying a concealed squirt gun
into the zoo. Zoo security thought he was carrying a real gun at first. He
pointed it at a mountain lion, and then they came again, he explained he was
playing Assassins, and then they confiscated it.
Kurt is nominated for taking Steve's anatomy book. Kelly tried to wrestle it
away from him.
Nora Casey nominates Nick for being so worried about the housing lottery that he
couldn't sleep. Colin: "You guys are terrible people." He nominates Mike and
Nora for being sadists.
Kurt wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Sasha is nominated for her singing and dancing. Jeremy Kane makes a pre-emptive
nomination for the soccer team. Colin says this hubris will be punished with a
thunderstorm.
Sasha wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 3 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Things start late because of RA inteviews. Let's gossip about Colin and Aviva!
Or not.
Ola (?) show this weekend, there will still be machetes. Milan is the only
person in it in the house, but you should still go. Also Saturday is service
trip plus Puerto Rican food, but they're compatible. Also dinner, so you could
have two, like a hobbit. A Latin American hobbit.
Chicken and Waffles on the 26th, next Saturday. Also Genderfuck, and apparently
Antonia is singing? It's unclear. Day of Silence before that, but Trivia Night
is cancelled.
Tomorrow is Prospie Weekend again, talk to Kurt.
Talent show on a 30th, sign up by 23rd. Could people please give dates in terms
of week/day (e.g. "Wednesday of 5th week") rather than this day-of-the-month?
The former is much easier to understand, even if it's meaningless outside
Chicago. I don't know, maybe other people really find the latter easier to
handle, but I can't see how. Weeks are so much more relevant than months.
Outdoor soccer on Sunday. Also Midnight Soccer tomorrow. And prospies. And
soccer. And also prospies. And exploding potatoes. Well, maybe not that.
Blake asks if we have lottery books yet. Well, we'll get them Friday. Tuesday
is PA primary, Jack will supply snacks, or maybe food?
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Sarah nominates Mike for lying so much and killing Jack in front of the children.
Mike: If the right people were here, that would be a hero nomination.
Who are the right people? Colin, apparently.
Jack nominates Winston for huddling in the lobby for hours. And the kid got
stuck in the elevator, and the police came, and Jack thinks, "Oh no, Winston,
they're going to taser you!"
Nathan: You should nominate the kid who got stuck in the elevator.
Jack nominates the guy who spiked the basketball in Aaron's face, rendering him
unable to see. Also, Jeremy refuses to play against people who are burning.
AARON-SPIKER WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Mike threatens to kill Jack's kids.
Hero of the week:
I'm nominated for killing Mike, and for getting pulled over by a police officer
while hunting Steve. "With all the stuff happening on campuses..."
Blake nominates two IM wins.
IM wins hero of the week.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 4 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
What made that strange noise? Sasha. Laura is here to talk about PTC, not IHC.
Jack will talk about trivia night regardless of whether or not Sasha stops
making farting noises. It happens on a date of much confusion, or, May 31st.
Piercewide. The format sounds boring, though. You can bring people not from
Tufts, but the majority of the team has to be Tufts. (Associates count as
Tufts.)
A campsite is reserved for the night of Friday of 8th week. Don't be like Colin
and forget your sleeping bag, or like Wai Lee and pee within sight of the
campfire. Colin suggests appointing a "sleeping-bag-checker-onner". His words.
Thursday is Occam's, Bryan performs. The next day is Off-Off. Or is it? OK,
so, Occam's is Friday, as is Off-Off. Day of Silence is Friday, followed by
Night of Noise, Hutch courtyard. Saturday night, staged reading of a play Nora
wrote, 3rd floor theater in Reynolds, $5, Aaron's in one too.
Genderfuck is called a drag ball, but is not formal like a ball. It's in the
room of Ida Noyes that Colin and Dan sto^H^H^H relocated the rug from last year.
Chicken and Waffles (Not-Roscoe's, or is it? Confusion) on Saturday. Dance
Marathon is Saturday. Last year Nick Zhao sexually harassed Wai Lee there.
He's running for student government right now. He's also a fascist.
Sit down, Luke. Smart Museum is throwing a party tomorrow. Occam's is
announced once again, but this time Bryan does it. The show is free.
Agnes wants money: $100 for Scav, she asks. It passes. Then $40 for a fan for
the study lounge. It passes.
Jack is not all about sports and eating, he announces! There is a play about a
guy who got lynched which got really good reviews, but I missed the rest.
Laura speaks! TANSTAAFL's TV is busted; they are hoping for a $50 contribution
from Tufts. Also some days they sell cookies, but it's Passover right now.
They also want equipment, i.e. ping-pong tables and stuff. What happened to the
old ping-pong table in the lobby? Nobody knows. PTC wants to sponsor paintball
again - it would cost $40-$50 dollars per person, but Tufts House would
subsidize that, right? /Right/? Straw poll: Who wants equipment? 3 people.
Who wants a double-decker bus (WTF?)? Nobody. Whirlyball? 2 people.
Speedboat tour? Paintball? There are numbers, I forget them.
Colin: On the note of councils between houses...
So, we symbolize a problem, and IHC will talk to us. But really they want to
talk to the house *council*, a small group of oligarchs they can bribe with
money and women. Colin: "Death is too good for them! I knew Mark Berberian
wanted me to be house president for a reason, and this is it."
Colin: If someone could dig a well...
Jeremy has a red sheet Jake can use for a cape.
Colin says that we should listen to what they have to say - this doesn't change
the fact that death is too good for them.
Blake talks about Six Flags, talk to Eve. Jo has a ticket she isn't using.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Colin nominates IHC but refuses to name them.
Jack nominates Kurt for his foray into erotic literature. While sorting books,
Jeremy pointed out to Kurt every smut book he found - they put them in the
self-help section. Kurt, however, wanted to take a bunch of them home.
Youlian nominates Hillary Clinton for inane speechmaking - "The road to
Pennsylvania Avenue runs right through Pennsylvania."
Nora nominates Mike - they went to Subway and he got a footlong sandwich. "Nora
- I'm so hungry - can I eat two feet of Subway sandwiches?" So he went back and
got another, and the lady thought she was crazy because he was just there.
Other people then chime in with other two-foot-sandwich stories.
Colin attempts to declare IHC the winner unilaterally, but it eventually wins
anyway. Also Colin accidentally does the Hitler salute? His drivers' ed
teacher used to do that.
Hero of the week:
Jeremy nominates Mike for defending Pierce's honor. They were walking into Max,
and they walked into one of those little rights into the ground, and Mike just
smacked it show hard it shut off. Colin nominates me for going above property
damage, and actually murdering two people in Max P.
Blake nominates Winston for his 9 kills in Assassins (Mike was 2nd with 3,
though Steve was 2nd by elimination), and reminds us we'll be watching Battle
Royale. Also Mike for the sandwiches again.
Colin: You can't wash the blood off your hands, Harry.
Me: But I can wash the poop.
Also, I'm nominated for putting up the minutes under "extreme circumstances".
Shouldn't this be a weenie nomination for Ryan? Apparently not.
Winston wins hero of the week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
IHC comes, the guy has a speech impediment, Colin would have put just the Asian
girl on the spot but he couldn't. So we failed to intimidate them, even with
the song. It came off as friendly, if you ask me. Sasha danced. We claimed
dressing up for house meeting was a Tufts House tradition. We amend the
constitution so that if we ever go to IHC, we have to go in formal wear. Jake
gets a vote, but was not wearing a cape, neither did he have a baseball bat (or
hat).
Andrew: What they were saying is what IHC believes they're doing.
Andrew then claims that IHC is giving Housing bad advice.
The votes are against joining IHC. Eve claims presidential status trumps rule
of law. Fortunately, the people of Tufts House are not so gullible as the
people of the US. Even Colin objects. Eve clarifies she was only talking about
formalities of where the Constitution is kept. (Which, really, it's not.)
Our new RA, Brad, is here.
Jack talks about the pink card - keep it, don't lose it, once you're called in
you have two minutes, think beforehand, don't sign that card unless you mean
it. John Wood sold his. After the Tufts lottery is the Pierce lottery, later
comes the general lottery. Don't try to get into Max, it's both stupid and
bound to fail.
Colin reannounces talent show. I think we just had the talent show. Or the
preview, anyway. It's at end of house meeting next week. After that the Scav
list is released, come to TANSTAAFL. If you're going to 6 flags, be at BJ at 9
AM, you'll get the tickets at the bus. Dan is giving his ticket away. Return
about 9.
Will announces concert, Friday night, first floor, Reynolds club, and Friday at
6, girls lacrosse plays northwestern. And tomorrow at 9 is RBIM, free Chipotle.
Ihouse Sunday 2-5 is festival of nations, Eve is performing, there are many
foods. Scavhunt next week.
Ballad of Emmett Till, he was lynched, people pointed out the killers in court,
it didn't work, but it started much of the civil rights movement. $20. There
are many $5 Cubs tickets. It's also $5 for a hotdog there. Summer Breeze
subsidy? $10 per person, passes. Winston isn't talking, neither is Nora.
Camping end of 8th week. Again, don't be Colin or Wai Lee. If you need a
sleeping bag, ask Blake. Night of the 22nd, midnight showing of the new Indiana
Jones movie - ask Blake. Agnes tells of a history fair. Jack talks more about
trivia. Bragging rights come in sets. Singletons? It's unclear.
Colin proposes that he attends IHC sporadically and belligerently for the rest
of the year, and drag out the meetings, even if he can't vote; the house
strongly disapproves.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
IHC is nominated! We can't nominate them? Yes we can, and do.
Nora nominates Mike, for accidentally SMSing the message "Note: Don't marry
Cait" to his girlfriend Cait, rather than himself.
Mike nominates Woodward for losing to us.
Some outsiders try to nominate themselves for hero for coming in formal attire,
Mike nominates them for weenie for their violation of protocol.
MIKE WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Hero of the week:
People nominate Nathan Schulz, and the band.
Winston tells: Hockey - we were winning 3-2. But then they switch sides, and
Andrew goes from being goalie on the side where he's not very visible, to the
side where he is. The ref drops the ball, Andrew shifts into hockey stance, and
he freaks them all out.
Jack wishes he had nominated for weenie the filmmakers of Battle Royale, for a
scene where a guy is riddled with bullets, his cellphone rings, he answers,
talks, and only then dies. In response, Winston nominates the subbers for hero.
Jack suggests a Peace Train encore, it doesn't happen.
The band wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Very few people are here - only 8. We have no quorum rules, we could take all
the money for ourselves if we wanted... Colin is absent, so Eve leads, sort of.
We're going to watch "Displacement" for movie night. Eve asks if it's about New
Orleans, but it's about Chicago. Jack asks if Aaron is a vampire; someone
suggests Winston is. Scav starts in 2 hours.
22nd is Indiana Jones. Get sleeping bags for camping, or talk to Blake. Also
sign up for the Peru-Mexico game on June 8th. (It's soccer.)
Next weekend is Amelia's show, Friday and Sunday, 7 and 1, respectively. Jack
tells me to write down that Mandel Hall administrators are fuckers. Amelia has
7 tickets which she thinks she has overpromised.
Occam's Razor next Friday, free as usual. Summer Breeze next weekend, talk to
Agnes. Also a Chamber Orchestra concert that night. They're going to be next
to each other, fortunately there is soundproofing. Jack speaks unclearly.
Cubs game Wednesday next week, $5. June 6th is a White Sox game, also $5.
That's Friday of 10th week. We won Water Polo by forfeit, so we're 4-0.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Kisala nominates Obama for saying "America is a place." Amelia wants to
nominate Hilary for the "Pennsylvania Ave" comment, but that already happened.
Mike nominates Nick, though Dani insists it should be Fate? Oh, it's about his
getting a double. Convinced he was getting stuck with a double, he pulled in
Jim of Dudley. But when singles opened up unexpectedly, this meant he was
stuck, as Jim needed somewhere to live, so he had to pull him in anyway.
Jack nominates Wai Lee for threatening his children with his teeth. Amelia
wants to fight Hannah? That sounds unfair. Amelia and Hannah are incidentally
nominated.
I nominate Housing for last year putting big metal plates over the nonfunctional
water functions, thereby making me question my sanity. I was talking to Youlian
about the nonfunctional water fountains, and he had no idea what I was talking
about. I went around the house and I couldn't find any. What? Am I
remembering things that never happened? No, they've just been covered up with
big metal plates so no-one 2nd-year or younger knows what I'm talking about.
Jeremy votes for Obama because he's used to doing so.
Colin arrives and nominates Sasha for being a huge bitch; nobody knows what he's
talking about. Wai Lee rants about how to apostrophize "Mother{'s,s'} Day".
AMELIA AND HANNAH WIN WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Marc-Andre, Elizabeth, and Milan for taking doubles.
Jim of Dudley is nominated "for putting up with Nick's bullshit".
Nora nominates Nora Kelly. "She pegged Mike with a pen from across the room,
and it was epic." Then she put a bottle of Gatorade on his head? I'm confused.
Colin brings up Mike for talking about some girl's "cavernous vagina".
Colin: Do you want to go back to weenie now?
Wai Lee: Wait, what's a cavern like, Colin? I don't know this word.
Colin: Is there a difference between a cave and a cavern?
Wai Lee thinks caverns have James Bond destroying boxes and computers in them.
Double-takers win hero of the week! They did not do double takes, though.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 7 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Eve wants Wai Lee to turn off Mr. Driller. He does not.
Colin is absent once again, Eve leads. She announces things. She wants to talk
about Indiana Jones. $5 subsidy approved, pay $5 to Blake by Friday. Camping -
Amelia asks when we're getting back. We get back Saturday. It's next weekend.
Mexico vs. Peru, $10 to Blake by next house meeting. Summer Breeze is this
Saturday, starts at noon. Concert starts at 5. Meet at the lounge in 4:30. If
you bought a ticket talk to Agnes and get $10. BBQ at the point, some Saturday.
Sam Levin takes Eve's chair. People are going to jump into the lake, and Eve
calls it a "lake jump", as you would expect. 10th week Wednesday.
Eve: Do y'all remember RSVP?
Everyone shouts "No!", some because they don't remember, some because they do.
Eve explains that Tancer wants to show us a movie. Everyone shouts "No!" again.
Eve tells us that if Tancer had actually found Mike annoying, she would have
given him a different color pen so she could identify his writing.
Chamber orchestra during Summer Breeze - Dan, Aviva, Tyler, Blake, all playing,
8 PM Saturday. Blake is presenting her BA, it's in environmental sciences.
Wai Lee asphyxiates. Everybody screams.
Jean-Claude Van Damme movie night! Street Fighter: The Movie will be included,
obviously. The guy who played M. Bison died during the filming, Aaron says. I
don't think that's true. (I checked. It's not, but he did die shortly
afterward, and his only movie afterward was made for TV.)
Sox game, oh, nevermind.
PAINTBALL! Only 6 people have signed up in all Pierce, so that may not be
happening... well, we could have our own Tufts Paintball. Get more house
associates? Sean, Armoskus, Bowers? Powers? Grant? Girl Alex? Ginny?
Fogo de Chao! Oh, crap, I missed most of this because I was looking up Raul
Julia's death. Friday of finals week, see email. Also Occam's, also RBIM, both
on Friday. And Off-Off. Threadless Store? Huh? Ask Agnes...
Sarah Magidson announces Interfaith Shabbat! But what day would an *interfaith*
Shabbat be on? A Saturday, apparently. Laura will give you candy if you do a
survey.
Eve talks about frightening things to high school kids, and about
communication. She doesn't know what she's doing.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
People nominate Bryan for announcing Occam's over and over; Youlian suggests not
because that advertises it even more.
Jeremy nominates Ryan for losing us IM Water Polo - he took Ashley out on a
date, depriving us of our best defender. Some people suggest he should get a
special Weenie of the Year award.
Nora Casey tells of going to Bart Mart and running into Powers, who falsely
appeared to be sober. Two for $1. Powers comes out with pizza - "Man, this
pizza is so good!" "I know, right, two for one!" "Wait, what?" So Powers goes
back in and demands his second pizza. The person there lies to him, saying, no,
it's not 2 for $1, Nora says, I got 2 for $1, she says, no you didn't. Finally
it turns out there's none left. Powers then forgot to actually eat his pizza.
Jack tells of a class where there's one guy who everyone hates, who always
brings up female genitalia regardless of context, and he's doing a presentation
tomorrow, and they've got a pool as to how long he'll go before mentionting it.
Oh, but we're delaying this nomination to next week.
POWERS WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK! This causes several people, including Mike and
Jeremy, to walk out of house meeting.
Hero of the week:
Jeremy is nominated for all his Scav construction. Luke is nominated for
playing basketball.
Mike starts eating house snack, Eve complains because it's still house meeting,
he says he walked out of house meeting, so house meeting is over for him.
Jeremy: "We're staging a coup...kie."
Casey nominates Nora Kelly for getting tackled by a violent Shorey kid.
There is much shouting. Mike chases Eve in a circle, as people shout "Coup!
Coup!". Jack declares house meeting over, over Eve's protests. No hero vote
takes place.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 8 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Colin is here! Eve, take note, this is a crisis narrowly averted...
Jack announces Wednesday of 10th week, Nathan's birthday, we're going to a place
with a hard-to-pronounce name. We went there during O-week, there'll be a
sign-up sheet.
Tuesday of finals week, 12-hour long Jean-Claude Van Damme movie marathon!
Street Fighter: The Movie included.
Colin: It says here Wednesday of 8th week... jump.
It's 10th week, actually, and it's into the lake.
BBQ on the porch on Monday! Yay! If you can bring or make food, that would be
a good thing.
Mexico vs. Peru, give Blake $10 by Tuesday.
Fogo de Chao (Colin pronounces it "Fogo de Cho") Friday of Finals week. Colin
just ate there, and Eve hates him. There is sword-meat.
Camping Friday. $500 for tents, $100 for food, approved.
Friday Off-Off, Men in Drag...
Colin: "Bitter faith Shabbat...?" That's interfaith Shabbat.
Also DisLocation, which is not called DisPlacement.
If you have a class which has a TA and could be taught outside, pressure your
professor to do so on Wednesday? Jack can explain.
Unaccompanied Women 29th, Smart Museum, 6:30, free your mind? What?
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Mike for telling Sarah to "F off".
Mike: Out of context, I meant to tell that to you.
Jack: OK, Mike for getting us mixed up.
Mike: Sarah's a much nicer person than you.
Colin: I don't think insubordination gets you weenie.
Winston nominates Joe Beckmann. "He's kind of a tool, right?" Winston saw him
skateboarding out of Pierce, and says to him sarcastically, "Wow, *you're*
really cool!" As soon as he says this, Joe starts flailing. By the time
Youlian got there, he just saw two legs sticking up above the little wall.
Colin: Say he's dead.
Eve nominates Aviva.
Colin: Does it have anything to do with Aviva's and my relationship? It's
three strikes and you're out.
Eve said something to Aviva about how her (Eve's) hair is good except "it looks
like a liberrian's hair". And Aviva figured she meant Liberian, when in fact
she was mispronouncing "librarian". And Aviva said, "I can't figure out why
you're making fun of their culture."
Eve wonders if they even have a culture.
Colin: So, Aviva because you're dyslexic.
Eve: I meant liberrian, like a person who works in a liberry!
EVE WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Hero of the week:
Nathan plays the wrong video... oh, there it is. Nathan plays a video of a
Putin youth group unleashing a helicopter penis at a Gary Kasparov speech. It's
Putin who is nominated. This is much better than just having Kasparov killed,
Colin points out.
Mike nominates IM teams for making the playoffs.
Vladimir Putin wins hero of the week!
Paintball appears to be well and truly cancelled... this is a disgrace, people.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 9 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Neither Colin nor Eve is here, so we argue over who leads. Aaron is absent, so
we insist Agnes lead as Treasurer; she doesn't want to, and I ask who's Social
Chair, as we have a precedent from last year for Social Chair leading; Agnes is,
so she ends up leading anyway. She passes things to Blake, who has some things
to say.
$22 per person for Peru vs. Mexico. Sunday of finals week. Also $50 for
camping, and covering Kurt's vegetables. 12 spots for Fogo de Chao, sign up
now. $10 subsidy for restaurant with unpronounceable name.
Midnight soccer against Woodward tomorrow. Again?
Jean-Claude Van Damme movie night! Now including Goonies and Swingers, despite
their not including Jean-Claude Van Damme. Tuesday of Finals Week, 5 to 5.
Eve's concert, Leslie's concert, tomorrow, Aaron's play, today to Saturday.
Blake says something I missed. Agnes is doing another Threadless trip. Rally
Friday at 2:30 by Bartlett for dining hall workers.
I get $7 for paper that I was supposed to get last year.
Wait, Amelia's a condom czar! She should lead! She takes over.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Youlian tells: So it's 4 in the morning, and he's asleep, and his door opens.
Oh, it's Bryan... Bryan passes out quickly, but Youlian didn't quite make it
back to sleep. Door opens again. Bryan's already in, so... it's some random
girl he's never seen before? What? Probably she followed Bryan, so I'll just
go back to sleep and let them sort this out... but she goes not to Bryan's bed,
but Youlian's! She stands there for a minute muttering, then tries to take the
cover. He pretends to wake up. She tries to take the cover again. "Stop! You
are going to tell me two things! Who are you? And what do you want?" She
backs up - "It's complicated... there's this party and I just need to grab
something... I'll just go over here then..." - and goes into Bryan's bed and
falls asleep. 2 hours later, Bryan sits up, looks over at him, shrugs, and goes
back to sleep. Half an hour later he sits up, looks over at him, and this time
asks, "Do you know who this is?" "No, I thought you knew who this was!" "I'm
going to go to the bathroom. When I get back, I hope she's gone." They both
go.
Bryan continues: He comes back, Youlian's in the study lounge, she's still
there, he starts playing music and poking her, finally she gets up, starts
apologizing, and leaves. Bryan goes to check she didn't pass out outside the
door - she's just standing there in the hall. Eventually she walks into
Jeremy's room and falls asleep.
Amelia continues: No, she walked into my room. I woke up and saw this girl
standing in my room... I was thinking, am I dreaming? She looks at me, sort of
smiles, and walks out. Then I locked my door. (Then, presumably, she went into
Jeremy's room and slept.)
Explanation: It was her 21st birthday, she got really drunk, they missed the
drunk van, she hurt her foot, they thought she couldn't make it back to BJ
herself, Jeremy said, you can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep in Nick's. But she
got lost on the way to his room.
Winston nominates Bryan for his puzzle-solving skills. Here are some hints: 4
is the universe. 5 is 4, 4 is the universe. 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the
universe. 1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the universe. Answer: It's the number
of letters when spelled in English. (4 is the unique fixpoint.) Most people
get it pretty quickly. Bryan couldn't get it for 4 days, despite being told it
he should write out the names of the numbers - he couldn't see what "one",
"two", "six", and "ten" had in common. He was sure it had to do with vowels.
He was counting vowels, looking at their positions... What actually finally got
him to get it was Wai Lee's hint, "What makes one penis better than another,
aside from girth?" "Length?" There were then about 15 minutes where he was
sure he /almost/ had it, but not quite, before finally he got it.
Also Takumi, who thought he got it in about 15 minutes, from just the hints, 1
is 3, 2 is 3, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the universe, but then said to
Winston, "It's because they're all divisible by 1, isn't it?"
JEREMY AND DRUNK GIRL WIN WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
(Amelia declares Takumi honorable mention.)
Amelia: Hero?
Jeremy: I can be your hero, baby.
How about Blake for organizing camping? Kurt for vegetables? Jack and Sarah
for feeding us? Also blood-givers.
Amelia decides to skip the voting and go directly to study break.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 10 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
---------------------------------------
Jeremy sits on Colin. Colin threatens us with water. Then shoots Bryan.
You must be out by Saturday at 3PM. See the signs about storing and mailing
stuff. Think about packing 12 hours beforehand, Jack suggests. It will take
you longer than you think.
Blake is cleaning out the fridge on Thursday. Helping her out would be good.
Tufts stuff must go in cabinets.
Box for clothes, box for other stuff. If you want to leave stuff for other
people to take, leave it in the boxes.
Too Music Music is doing WTF week, they're doing something different every day
this week. Something about clothing on Saturday. Sasha screams.
Nick Beasley of Woodward insulted us? Midnight soccer.
Occam's on Friday. Steve is interrupted. More Sasha, more screaming, more
water on Bryan.
Sunday is Peru vs. Mexico, probably 5:30ish. Bryan, Mike, Milan, Jeremy, Nora
owe Blake 5 more dollars.
Jack will post noonish Sunday the list of... what? Van Damme movies? 5-7 spots
left for Fogo.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Mike for seeing Nora Casey's sister naked and freaking out.
Nora Kelly: You saw Nora Casey's sister naked?!
Mike: It wasn't my idea!
Mike claims Jeremy's chest hair looks like a face?
Sasha is nominated for making much noise, and talking over Steve. Colin gives
Sasha the squirtgun, Eve tries to take it, then Youlian tries to take it from
Eve. Eve for attacking Sasha? Colin lists lots of bogus nominations.
Jeremy wins Weenie of of the Week for yelling at Sasha, defending Steve's honor?
Hero of the week:
Youlian nominates Jeremy for defending Steve's honor. Nick is nominated for
kitchen-cleaning. Eve nominates Toby of Thompson for coming down and helping
people not feeling well on Saturday. Jeremy nominates the party for the best
execution of the worst idea ever.
Nora Kelly tells: STFUT party Saturday night, she comes back to her room, finds
a wrestler in there, figures she'll move him out of the way... only the bed is
wet. The wrestler peed in her bed! This is Weenie stuff.
Wai Lee: So much peeing!
Also Steve and Eve for Blake surprise? Oh, they win.
[Also, the lack of paintball is still a disgrace. We'll have to do it twice
next year or something.]
And that's the end of that! Well, until next quarter. (But is it the end of my tenure as secretary? That remains to be seen.)
-Harry
Here at last... house minutes! Friends-locked by tradition, though perhaps I should rethink that. In any case...
They start with week 2, because week 1 we still had Aaron for secretary.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 2 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Sasha has something in her hair.
Colin wants $8 subsidy for 6 flags, it passes. Also, people are getting killed?
I get the killing people higher on the housing list, but why kill people going
to 6 flags? I would think kill people voting against...
We're having a Talent Show! Oh boy! Maybe I'll click my tongue... It's on
April 30, but nobody knows when that is. Email Ashley or Dani. Nothing
offensive? Huh? How is Wai Lee to perform? Oh, apparently April 30th is
Wednesday of 5th week. I have a hard time believing this is actually going to
work.
OBS show this Saturday. 5-7 dinner, 7:30 show. What's OBS? Nobody says.
Eve doesn't know where dinner is, either. Oh no, confusion! Also exists
afterparty. Tickets sold in Reynolds.
Jeremy says Frisbee on W afternoons, floor hockey T nights, water polo (!) W
nights, softball varies. Emails will be sent. More importantly, we are in 4th
place for housing cup, so if we start winning, we could actually win. It's a
nice cup, apparently. Will we drink out of it? What will we drink out of it?
Jeremy wants that bloody cup. Blood, then?
Midnight soccer Thursdays at 10. This week vs Woodward. People don't like rain
but Mike likes lightning, because it's epic.
Story: Colin was walking in the rain with Aviva and Dan, when a cop car went by.
Ashamed of his appearance, he hid behind the others; the cop thought he was
sneaking up on them and turned on its sirens.
T-shirt sales, ploo. There's a sign-up sheet.
Friday night movie: Sky High. Has anyone seen it? Aaron has? Well, he's not
here. It has Kurt Russell and is kind of a B-movie.
This weekend and next weekend: Prospie weekends! You don't need to get them
drunk in a bad attempt to make a point. They might end up with their kidneys
stolen or something. Bring them to midnight soccer, though. See Kurt.
SSA has a trivia night (not a trivial night). It falls on the day of silence.
But day of silence ends at 17:00, while trivia starts later than that. Also,
day of silence is now followed by night of noise? Interesting. Also, satirical
straight marriage debate!
Books are to be sorted, there's a list, on the board. Ploo. Saturday after
this. Also, when Colin was in high school, he did this, but they gave him gummi
fish hygienically unfit for homeless people.
Eve does her job. Or does she? Maybe we'll get to shout at the VP again!
Colin doesn't want you doing study break if he doesn't trust your food. This
eliminates everyone but Jo, Sarah Magidson, and Steve.
Something is said about Jeremy Kane's nipples. Milan says something
incomprehensible about something Latin and sexy, and machetes.
Scav hunt is having an informational study break, Monday in TANSTAAFL.
Assassins begins 23:59 Sunday. Squirt guns or socks, rules to come. Also
aliases.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Colin nominates a weird kid in a suit and tie carrying a concealed squirt gun
into the zoo. Zoo security thought he was carrying a real gun at first. He
pointed it at a mountain lion, and then they came again, he explained he was
playing Assassins, and then they confiscated it.
Kurt is nominated for taking Steve's anatomy book. Kelly tried to wrestle it
away from him.
Nora Casey nominates Nick for being so worried about the housing lottery that he
couldn't sleep. Colin: "You guys are terrible people." He nominates Mike and
Nora for being sadists.
Kurt wins Weenie of the Week!
Hero of the week:
Sasha is nominated for her singing and dancing. Jeremy Kane makes a pre-emptive
nomination for the soccer team. Colin says this hubris will be punished with a
thunderstorm.
Sasha wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 3 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Things start late because of RA inteviews. Let's gossip about Colin and Aviva!
Or not.
Ola (?) show this weekend, there will still be machetes. Milan is the only
person in it in the house, but you should still go. Also Saturday is service
trip plus Puerto Rican food, but they're compatible. Also dinner, so you could
have two, like a hobbit. A Latin American hobbit.
Chicken and Waffles on the 26th, next Saturday. Also Genderfuck, and apparently
Antonia is singing? It's unclear. Day of Silence before that, but Trivia Night
is cancelled.
Tomorrow is Prospie Weekend again, talk to Kurt.
Talent show on a 30th, sign up by 23rd. Could people please give dates in terms
of week/day (e.g. "Wednesday of 5th week") rather than this day-of-the-month?
The former is much easier to understand, even if it's meaningless outside
Chicago. I don't know, maybe other people really find the latter easier to
handle, but I can't see how. Weeks are so much more relevant than months.
Outdoor soccer on Sunday. Also Midnight Soccer tomorrow. And prospies. And
soccer. And also prospies. And exploding potatoes. Well, maybe not that.
Blake asks if we have lottery books yet. Well, we'll get them Friday. Tuesday
is PA primary, Jack will supply snacks, or maybe food?
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Sarah nominates Mike for lying so much and killing Jack in front of the children.
Mike: If the right people were here, that would be a hero nomination.
Who are the right people? Colin, apparently.
Jack nominates Winston for huddling in the lobby for hours. And the kid got
stuck in the elevator, and the police came, and Jack thinks, "Oh no, Winston,
they're going to taser you!"
Nathan: You should nominate the kid who got stuck in the elevator.
Jack nominates the guy who spiked the basketball in Aaron's face, rendering him
unable to see. Also, Jeremy refuses to play against people who are burning.
AARON-SPIKER WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Mike threatens to kill Jack's kids.
Hero of the week:
I'm nominated for killing Mike, and for getting pulled over by a police officer
while hunting Steve. "With all the stuff happening on campuses..."
Blake nominates two IM wins.
IM wins hero of the week.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 4 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
What made that strange noise? Sasha. Laura is here to talk about PTC, not IHC.
Jack will talk about trivia night regardless of whether or not Sasha stops
making farting noises. It happens on a date of much confusion, or, May 31st.
Piercewide. The format sounds boring, though. You can bring people not from
Tufts, but the majority of the team has to be Tufts. (Associates count as
Tufts.)
A campsite is reserved for the night of Friday of 8th week. Don't be like Colin
and forget your sleeping bag, or like Wai Lee and pee within sight of the
campfire. Colin suggests appointing a "sleeping-bag-checker-onner". His words.
Thursday is Occam's, Bryan performs. The next day is Off-Off. Or is it? OK,
so, Occam's is Friday, as is Off-Off. Day of Silence is Friday, followed by
Night of Noise, Hutch courtyard. Saturday night, staged reading of a play Nora
wrote, 3rd floor theater in Reynolds, $5, Aaron's in one too.
Genderfuck is called a drag ball, but is not formal like a ball. It's in the
room of Ida Noyes that Colin and Dan sto^H^H^H relocated the rug from last year.
Chicken and Waffles (Not-Roscoe's, or is it? Confusion) on Saturday. Dance
Marathon is Saturday. Last year Nick Zhao sexually harassed Wai Lee there.
He's running for student government right now. He's also a fascist.
Sit down, Luke. Smart Museum is throwing a party tomorrow. Occam's is
announced once again, but this time Bryan does it. The show is free.
Agnes wants money: $100 for Scav, she asks. It passes. Then $40 for a fan for
the study lounge. It passes.
Jack is not all about sports and eating, he announces! There is a play about a
guy who got lynched which got really good reviews, but I missed the rest.
Laura speaks! TANSTAAFL's TV is busted; they are hoping for a $50 contribution
from Tufts. Also some days they sell cookies, but it's Passover right now.
They also want equipment, i.e. ping-pong tables and stuff. What happened to the
old ping-pong table in the lobby? Nobody knows. PTC wants to sponsor paintball
again - it would cost $40-$50 dollars per person, but Tufts House would
subsidize that, right? /Right/? Straw poll: Who wants equipment? 3 people.
Who wants a double-decker bus (WTF?)? Nobody. Whirlyball? 2 people.
Speedboat tour? Paintball? There are numbers, I forget them.
Colin: On the note of councils between houses...
So, we symbolize a problem, and IHC will talk to us. But really they want to
talk to the house *council*, a small group of oligarchs they can bribe with
money and women. Colin: "Death is too good for them! I knew Mark Berberian
wanted me to be house president for a reason, and this is it."
Colin: If someone could dig a well...
Jeremy has a red sheet Jake can use for a cape.
Colin says that we should listen to what they have to say - this doesn't change
the fact that death is too good for them.
Blake talks about Six Flags, talk to Eve. Jo has a ticket she isn't using.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Colin nominates IHC but refuses to name them.
Jack nominates Kurt for his foray into erotic literature. While sorting books,
Jeremy pointed out to Kurt every smut book he found - they put them in the
self-help section. Kurt, however, wanted to take a bunch of them home.
Youlian nominates Hillary Clinton for inane speechmaking - "The road to
Pennsylvania Avenue runs right through Pennsylvania."
Nora nominates Mike - they went to Subway and he got a footlong sandwich. "Nora
- I'm so hungry - can I eat two feet of Subway sandwiches?" So he went back and
got another, and the lady thought she was crazy because he was just there.
Other people then chime in with other two-foot-sandwich stories.
Colin attempts to declare IHC the winner unilaterally, but it eventually wins
anyway. Also Colin accidentally does the Hitler salute? His drivers' ed
teacher used to do that.
Hero of the week:
Jeremy nominates Mike for defending Pierce's honor. They were walking into Max,
and they walked into one of those little rights into the ground, and Mike just
smacked it show hard it shut off. Colin nominates me for going above property
damage, and actually murdering two people in Max P.
Blake nominates Winston for his 9 kills in Assassins (Mike was 2nd with 3,
though Steve was 2nd by elimination), and reminds us we'll be watching Battle
Royale. Also Mike for the sandwiches again.
Colin: You can't wash the blood off your hands, Harry.
Me: But I can wash the poop.
Also, I'm nominated for putting up the minutes under "extreme circumstances".
Shouldn't this be a weenie nomination for Ryan? Apparently not.
Winston wins hero of the week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
IHC comes, the guy has a speech impediment, Colin would have put just the Asian
girl on the spot but he couldn't. So we failed to intimidate them, even with
the song. It came off as friendly, if you ask me. Sasha danced. We claimed
dressing up for house meeting was a Tufts House tradition. We amend the
constitution so that if we ever go to IHC, we have to go in formal wear. Jake
gets a vote, but was not wearing a cape, neither did he have a baseball bat (or
hat).
Andrew: What they were saying is what IHC believes they're doing.
Andrew then claims that IHC is giving Housing bad advice.
The votes are against joining IHC. Eve claims presidential status trumps rule
of law. Fortunately, the people of Tufts House are not so gullible as the
people of the US. Even Colin objects. Eve clarifies she was only talking about
formalities of where the Constitution is kept. (Which, really, it's not.)
Our new RA, Brad, is here.
Jack talks about the pink card - keep it, don't lose it, once you're called in
you have two minutes, think beforehand, don't sign that card unless you mean
it. John Wood sold his. After the Tufts lottery is the Pierce lottery, later
comes the general lottery. Don't try to get into Max, it's both stupid and
bound to fail.
Colin reannounces talent show. I think we just had the talent show. Or the
preview, anyway. It's at end of house meeting next week. After that the Scav
list is released, come to TANSTAAFL. If you're going to 6 flags, be at BJ at 9
AM, you'll get the tickets at the bus. Dan is giving his ticket away. Return
about 9.
Will announces concert, Friday night, first floor, Reynolds club, and Friday at
6, girls lacrosse plays northwestern. And tomorrow at 9 is RBIM, free Chipotle.
Ihouse Sunday 2-5 is festival of nations, Eve is performing, there are many
foods. Scavhunt next week.
Ballad of Emmett Till, he was lynched, people pointed out the killers in court,
it didn't work, but it started much of the civil rights movement. $20. There
are many $5 Cubs tickets. It's also $5 for a hotdog there. Summer Breeze
subsidy? $10 per person, passes. Winston isn't talking, neither is Nora.
Camping end of 8th week. Again, don't be Colin or Wai Lee. If you need a
sleeping bag, ask Blake. Night of the 22nd, midnight showing of the new Indiana
Jones movie - ask Blake. Agnes tells of a history fair. Jack talks more about
trivia. Bragging rights come in sets. Singletons? It's unclear.
Colin proposes that he attends IHC sporadically and belligerently for the rest
of the year, and drag out the meetings, even if he can't vote; the house
strongly disapproves.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
IHC is nominated! We can't nominate them? Yes we can, and do.
Nora nominates Mike, for accidentally SMSing the message "Note: Don't marry
Cait" to his girlfriend Cait, rather than himself.
Mike nominates Woodward for losing to us.
Some outsiders try to nominate themselves for hero for coming in formal attire,
Mike nominates them for weenie for their violation of protocol.
MIKE WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Hero of the week:
People nominate Nathan Schulz, and the band.
Winston tells: Hockey - we were winning 3-2. But then they switch sides, and
Andrew goes from being goalie on the side where he's not very visible, to the
side where he is. The ref drops the ball, Andrew shifts into hockey stance, and
he freaks them all out.
Jack wishes he had nominated for weenie the filmmakers of Battle Royale, for a
scene where a guy is riddled with bullets, his cellphone rings, he answers,
talks, and only then dies. In response, Winston nominates the subbers for hero.
Jack suggests a Peace Train encore, it doesn't happen.
The band wins Hero of the Week!
QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Very few people are here - only 8. We have no quorum rules, we could take all
the money for ourselves if we wanted... Colin is absent, so Eve leads, sort of.
We're going to watch "Displacement" for movie night. Eve asks if it's about New
Orleans, but it's about Chicago. Jack asks if Aaron is a vampire; someone
suggests Winston is. Scav starts in 2 hours.
22nd is Indiana Jones. Get sleeping bags for camping, or talk to Blake. Also
sign up for the Peru-Mexico game on June 8th. (It's soccer.)
Next weekend is Amelia's show, Friday and Sunday, 7 and 1, respectively. Jack
tells me to write down that Mandel Hall administrators are fuckers. Amelia has
7 tickets which she thinks she has overpromised.
Occam's Razor next Friday, free as usual. Summer Breeze next weekend, talk to
Agnes. Also a Chamber Orchestra concert that night. They're going to be next
to each other, fortunately there is soundproofing. Jack speaks unclearly.
Cubs game Wednesday next week, $5. June 6th is a White Sox game, also $5.
That's Friday of 10th week. We won Water Polo by forfeit, so we're 4-0.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Kisala nominates Obama for saying "America is a place." Amelia wants to
nominate Hilary for the "Pennsylvania Ave" comment, but that already happened.
Mike nominates Nick, though Dani insists it should be Fate? Oh, it's about his
getting a double. Convinced he was getting stuck with a double, he pulled in
Jim of Dudley. But when singles opened up unexpectedly, this meant he was
stuck, as Jim needed somewhere to live, so he had to pull him in anyway.
Jack nominates Wai Lee for threatening his children with his teeth. Amelia
wants to fight Hannah? That sounds unfair. Amelia and Hannah are incidentally
nominated.
I nominate Housing for last year putting big metal plates over the nonfunctional
water functions, thereby making me question my sanity. I was talking to Youlian
about the nonfunctional water fountains, and he had no idea what I was talking
about. I went around the house and I couldn't find any. What? Am I
remembering things that never happened? No, they've just been covered up with
big metal plates so no-one 2nd-year or younger knows what I'm talking about.
Jeremy votes for Obama because he's used to doing so.
Colin arrives and nominates Sasha for being a huge bitch; nobody knows what he's
talking about. Wai Lee rants about how to apostrophize "Mother{'s,s'} Day".
AMELIA AND HANNAH WIN WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Marc-Andre, Elizabeth, and Milan for taking doubles.
Jim of Dudley is nominated "for putting up with Nick's bullshit".
Nora nominates Nora Kelly. "She pegged Mike with a pen from across the room,
and it was epic." Then she put a bottle of Gatorade on his head? I'm confused.
Colin brings up Mike for talking about some girl's "cavernous vagina".
Colin: Do you want to go back to weenie now?
Wai Lee: Wait, what's a cavern like, Colin? I don't know this word.
Colin: Is there a difference between a cave and a cavern?
Wai Lee thinks caverns have James Bond destroying boxes and computers in them.
Double-takers win hero of the week! They did not do double takes, though.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 7 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Eve wants Wai Lee to turn off Mr. Driller. He does not.
Colin is absent once again, Eve leads. She announces things. She wants to talk
about Indiana Jones. $5 subsidy approved, pay $5 to Blake by Friday. Camping -
Amelia asks when we're getting back. We get back Saturday. It's next weekend.
Mexico vs. Peru, $10 to Blake by next house meeting. Summer Breeze is this
Saturday, starts at noon. Concert starts at 5. Meet at the lounge in 4:30. If
you bought a ticket talk to Agnes and get $10. BBQ at the point, some Saturday.
Sam Levin takes Eve's chair. People are going to jump into the lake, and Eve
calls it a "lake jump", as you would expect. 10th week Wednesday.
Eve: Do y'all remember RSVP?
Everyone shouts "No!", some because they don't remember, some because they do.
Eve explains that Tancer wants to show us a movie. Everyone shouts "No!" again.
Eve tells us that if Tancer had actually found Mike annoying, she would have
given him a different color pen so she could identify his writing.
Chamber orchestra during Summer Breeze - Dan, Aviva, Tyler, Blake, all playing,
8 PM Saturday. Blake is presenting her BA, it's in environmental sciences.
Wai Lee asphyxiates. Everybody screams.
Jean-Claude Van Damme movie night! Street Fighter: The Movie will be included,
obviously. The guy who played M. Bison died during the filming, Aaron says. I
don't think that's true. (I checked. It's not, but he did die shortly
afterward, and his only movie afterward was made for TV.)
Sox game, oh, nevermind.
PAINTBALL! Only 6 people have signed up in all Pierce, so that may not be
happening... well, we could have our own Tufts Paintball. Get more house
associates? Sean, Armoskus, Bowers? Powers? Grant? Girl Alex? Ginny?
Fogo de Chao! Oh, crap, I missed most of this because I was looking up Raul
Julia's death. Friday of finals week, see email. Also Occam's, also RBIM, both
on Friday. And Off-Off. Threadless Store? Huh? Ask Agnes...
Sarah Magidson announces Interfaith Shabbat! But what day would an *interfaith*
Shabbat be on? A Saturday, apparently. Laura will give you candy if you do a
survey.
Eve talks about frightening things to high school kids, and about
communication. She doesn't know what she's doing.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
People nominate Bryan for announcing Occam's over and over; Youlian suggests not
because that advertises it even more.
Jeremy nominates Ryan for losing us IM Water Polo - he took Ashley out on a
date, depriving us of our best defender. Some people suggest he should get a
special Weenie of the Year award.
Nora Casey tells of going to Bart Mart and running into Powers, who falsely
appeared to be sober. Two for $1. Powers comes out with pizza - "Man, this
pizza is so good!" "I know, right, two for one!" "Wait, what?" So Powers goes
back in and demands his second pizza. The person there lies to him, saying, no,
it's not 2 for $1, Nora says, I got 2 for $1, she says, no you didn't. Finally
it turns out there's none left. Powers then forgot to actually eat his pizza.
Jack tells of a class where there's one guy who everyone hates, who always
brings up female genitalia regardless of context, and he's doing a presentation
tomorrow, and they've got a pool as to how long he'll go before mentionting it.
Oh, but we're delaying this nomination to next week.
POWERS WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK! This causes several people, including Mike and
Jeremy, to walk out of house meeting.
Hero of the week:
Jeremy is nominated for all his Scav construction. Luke is nominated for
playing basketball.
Mike starts eating house snack, Eve complains because it's still house meeting,
he says he walked out of house meeting, so house meeting is over for him.
Jeremy: "We're staging a coup...kie."
Casey nominates Nora Kelly for getting tackled by a violent Shorey kid.
There is much shouting. Mike chases Eve in a circle, as people shout "Coup!
Coup!". Jack declares house meeting over, over Eve's protests. No hero vote
takes place.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 8 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Colin is here! Eve, take note, this is a crisis narrowly averted...
Jack announces Wednesday of 10th week, Nathan's birthday, we're going to a place
with a hard-to-pronounce name. We went there during O-week, there'll be a
sign-up sheet.
Tuesday of finals week, 12-hour long Jean-Claude Van Damme movie marathon!
Street Fighter: The Movie included.
Colin: It says here Wednesday of 8th week... jump.
It's 10th week, actually, and it's into the lake.
BBQ on the porch on Monday! Yay! If you can bring or make food, that would be
a good thing.
Mexico vs. Peru, give Blake $10 by Tuesday.
Fogo de Chao (Colin pronounces it "Fogo de Cho") Friday of Finals week. Colin
just ate there, and Eve hates him. There is sword-meat.
Camping Friday. $500 for tents, $100 for food, approved.
Friday Off-Off, Men in Drag...
Colin: "Bitter faith Shabbat...?" That's interfaith Shabbat.
Also DisLocation, which is not called DisPlacement.
If you have a class which has a TA and could be taught outside, pressure your
professor to do so on Wednesday? Jack can explain.
Unaccompanied Women 29th, Smart Museum, 6:30, free your mind? What?
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Mike for telling Sarah to "F off".
Mike: Out of context, I meant to tell that to you.
Jack: OK, Mike for getting us mixed up.
Mike: Sarah's a much nicer person than you.
Colin: I don't think insubordination gets you weenie.
Winston nominates Joe Beckmann. "He's kind of a tool, right?" Winston saw him
skateboarding out of Pierce, and says to him sarcastically, "Wow, *you're*
really cool!" As soon as he says this, Joe starts flailing. By the time
Youlian got there, he just saw two legs sticking up above the little wall.
Colin: Say he's dead.
Eve nominates Aviva.
Colin: Does it have anything to do with Aviva's and my relationship? It's
three strikes and you're out.
Eve said something to Aviva about how her (Eve's) hair is good except "it looks
like a liberrian's hair". And Aviva figured she meant Liberian, when in fact
she was mispronouncing "librarian". And Aviva said, "I can't figure out why
you're making fun of their culture."
Eve wonders if they even have a culture.
Colin: So, Aviva because you're dyslexic.
Eve: I meant liberrian, like a person who works in a liberry!
EVE WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Hero of the week:
Nathan plays the wrong video... oh, there it is. Nathan plays a video of a
Putin youth group unleashing a helicopter penis at a Gary Kasparov speech. It's
Putin who is nominated. This is much better than just having Kasparov killed,
Colin points out.
Mike nominates IM teams for making the playoffs.
Vladimir Putin wins hero of the week!
Paintball appears to be well and truly cancelled... this is a disgrace, people.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 9 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
Neither Colin nor Eve is here, so we argue over who leads. Aaron is absent, so
we insist Agnes lead as Treasurer; she doesn't want to, and I ask who's Social
Chair, as we have a precedent from last year for Social Chair leading; Agnes is,
so she ends up leading anyway. She passes things to Blake, who has some things
to say.
$22 per person for Peru vs. Mexico. Sunday of finals week. Also $50 for
camping, and covering Kurt's vegetables. 12 spots for Fogo de Chao, sign up
now. $10 subsidy for restaurant with unpronounceable name.
Midnight soccer against Woodward tomorrow. Again?
Jean-Claude Van Damme movie night! Now including Goonies and Swingers, despite
their not including Jean-Claude Van Damme. Tuesday of Finals Week, 5 to 5.
Eve's concert, Leslie's concert, tomorrow, Aaron's play, today to Saturday.
Blake says something I missed. Agnes is doing another Threadless trip. Rally
Friday at 2:30 by Bartlett for dining hall workers.
I get $7 for paper that I was supposed to get last year.
Wait, Amelia's a condom czar! She should lead! She takes over.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Youlian tells: So it's 4 in the morning, and he's asleep, and his door opens.
Oh, it's Bryan... Bryan passes out quickly, but Youlian didn't quite make it
back to sleep. Door opens again. Bryan's already in, so... it's some random
girl he's never seen before? What? Probably she followed Bryan, so I'll just
go back to sleep and let them sort this out... but she goes not to Bryan's bed,
but Youlian's! She stands there for a minute muttering, then tries to take the
cover. He pretends to wake up. She tries to take the cover again. "Stop! You
are going to tell me two things! Who are you? And what do you want?" She
backs up - "It's complicated... there's this party and I just need to grab
something... I'll just go over here then..." - and goes into Bryan's bed and
falls asleep. 2 hours later, Bryan sits up, looks over at him, shrugs, and goes
back to sleep. Half an hour later he sits up, looks over at him, and this time
asks, "Do you know who this is?" "No, I thought you knew who this was!" "I'm
going to go to the bathroom. When I get back, I hope she's gone." They both
go.
Bryan continues: He comes back, Youlian's in the study lounge, she's still
there, he starts playing music and poking her, finally she gets up, starts
apologizing, and leaves. Bryan goes to check she didn't pass out outside the
door - she's just standing there in the hall. Eventually she walks into
Jeremy's room and falls asleep.
Amelia continues: No, she walked into my room. I woke up and saw this girl
standing in my room... I was thinking, am I dreaming? She looks at me, sort of
smiles, and walks out. Then I locked my door. (Then, presumably, she went into
Jeremy's room and slept.)
Explanation: It was her 21st birthday, she got really drunk, they missed the
drunk van, she hurt her foot, they thought she couldn't make it back to BJ
herself, Jeremy said, you can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep in Nick's. But she
got lost on the way to his room.
Winston nominates Bryan for his puzzle-solving skills. Here are some hints: 4
is the universe. 5 is 4, 4 is the universe. 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the
universe. 1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the universe. Answer: It's the number
of letters when spelled in English. (4 is the unique fixpoint.) Most people
get it pretty quickly. Bryan couldn't get it for 4 days, despite being told it
he should write out the names of the numbers - he couldn't see what "one",
"two", "six", and "ten" had in common. He was sure it had to do with vowels.
He was counting vowels, looking at their positions... What actually finally got
him to get it was Wai Lee's hint, "What makes one penis better than another,
aside from girth?" "Length?" There were then about 15 minutes where he was
sure he /almost/ had it, but not quite, before finally he got it.
Also Takumi, who thought he got it in about 15 minutes, from just the hints, 1
is 3, 2 is 3, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the universe, but then said to
Winston, "It's because they're all divisible by 1, isn't it?"
JEREMY AND DRUNK GIRL WIN WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
(Amelia declares Takumi honorable mention.)
Amelia: Hero?
Jeremy: I can be your hero, baby.
How about Blake for organizing camping? Kurt for vegetables? Jack and Sarah
for feeding us? Also blood-givers.
Amelia decides to skip the voting and go directly to study break.
QUARTER 3 WEEK 10 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
---------------------------------------
Jeremy sits on Colin. Colin threatens us with water. Then shoots Bryan.
You must be out by Saturday at 3PM. See the signs about storing and mailing
stuff. Think about packing 12 hours beforehand, Jack suggests. It will take
you longer than you think.
Blake is cleaning out the fridge on Thursday. Helping her out would be good.
Tufts stuff must go in cabinets.
Box for clothes, box for other stuff. If you want to leave stuff for other
people to take, leave it in the boxes.
Too Music Music is doing WTF week, they're doing something different every day
this week. Something about clothing on Saturday. Sasha screams.
Nick Beasley of Woodward insulted us? Midnight soccer.
Occam's on Friday. Steve is interrupted. More Sasha, more screaming, more
water on Bryan.
Sunday is Peru vs. Mexico, probably 5:30ish. Bryan, Mike, Milan, Jeremy, Nora
owe Blake 5 more dollars.
Jack will post noonish Sunday the list of... what? Van Damme movies? 5-7 spots
left for Fogo.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Jack nominates Mike for seeing Nora Casey's sister naked and freaking out.
Nora Kelly: You saw Nora Casey's sister naked?!
Mike: It wasn't my idea!
Mike claims Jeremy's chest hair looks like a face?
Sasha is nominated for making much noise, and talking over Steve. Colin gives
Sasha the squirtgun, Eve tries to take it, then Youlian tries to take it from
Eve. Eve for attacking Sasha? Colin lists lots of bogus nominations.
Jeremy wins Weenie of of the Week for yelling at Sasha, defending Steve's honor?
Hero of the week:
Youlian nominates Jeremy for defending Steve's honor. Nick is nominated for
kitchen-cleaning. Eve nominates Toby of Thompson for coming down and helping
people not feeling well on Saturday. Jeremy nominates the party for the best
execution of the worst idea ever.
Nora Kelly tells: STFUT party Saturday night, she comes back to her room, finds
a wrestler in there, figures she'll move him out of the way... only the bed is
wet. The wrestler peed in her bed! This is Weenie stuff.
Wai Lee: So much peeing!
Also Steve and Eve for Blake surprise? Oh, they win.
[Also, the lack of paintball is still a disgrace. We'll have to do it twice
next year or something.]
And that's the end of that! Well, until next quarter. (But is it the end of my tenure as secretary? That remains to be seen.)
