From mhandle1 @ swarthmore.edu Tue Sep 14 23:43:23 2004 Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2004 23:40:01 -0400 From: Mark Handler Reply-To: presidents @ swil.org To: swilnews @ swil.org Subject: SWILNews #2 Runs up a Tab at the Bar This Week (and beyond) in SWIL Thur 16 Sept 5.30 PM Sharples Upstairs: SFDT, topic: Images of the bad-ass in SF/F Sat 18 Sept 7 PM SC199: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Script Reading Sun 19 Sept TBA: Swordmaking for Pterodactyl Hunt Mon 20 Sept 10 PM SC101: Treasure Planet Fri 1 Oct: Pterodactyl Hunt 11 September, 2004 SWILNews #2's first drink was a Pathetic Rabble, which is one shot of loud, two shots of rabble. SWILNews #2 than bought the house a shot of names, which everyone took simultaneously. (Turpitude, moral turpitude / Depravity, depravity / Inherent baseness, inherent baseness -t) (Inherent baseness, inherent baseness / Turpitude, moral turpitude / Depravity, depravity -v) (Depravity, depravity / Inherent baseness, inherent baseness / Turpitude, moral turpitude -g) Drink #3 was a monster shot, which, among other things, included a 3 shots of Pterodactyl, 1 shot of werewolf, 2 shots of hydra, a shot of sphinx, 4 shots of kobold, 3 shots of spondee, and as many shots of orc as would fill the glass. A Saturday Night SWIL special came next - Parlour games and Eldridge Commons - stirred, not shaken. Next weeks' SNSS is to be a Hitchhiker's Guide, consisting of the radio scripts served in a towel. Because it causes such a mess, they'll be served in SC199, starting at 7 PM. Assuming SWILNews #2 is still walking, there'll be SFDT tasting Thursday at 5.30 upstairs in Sharples. The image of the bad-ass in SF/F is the featured label. Our tricorders report a trace of Star-Trek meeting derailment cooler in the bloodstream of SWILNews #2. We suspect Alex spiked the meeting. (Damn, I didn't catch you two in a depraved and drunken position -t, reentering the room) (Who do you think we are? -g) (SWILlies -t) (Oh, AT-ST, take me, take me hard -t, channeling small toys) (Don't put that in -t) (Maybe it's Mai who's depraved and drunken -v) (I'm throwing a frog -t) (t throws a frog) (v deflects the frog) (It's kind of a big frog -v) We're all out of RenFaire this week, but Jackie is in charge of getting some for next week. E-mail jwerner1 *at* swarthmore.edu if you want to go and she doesn't already know this already. Andrew challenged Jackie to a duel over being the volunteer whore. (It's because they love each other -t, talking about the small toys) People should get a van license. It's nothing like an Irish Car Bomb. Nominate books you stupid illiterate drunken people. Submit to BEM. (ooh, bondage with cable ties -t) It's too early to talk about the massacre. A St. Valentine's Day Massacre, however, is always available at the bar. Stifler mixes a great Foam Stabbity Death. He needs to go to Walmart and buy supplies to teach other people how to make them. E-mail dstifle1 *at* swarthmore.edu or drop by ML 301 for bad-assitude. Sword-making is coming in about a week. Shots of fun noodle, cable-ties, and duct tape for all. SWIL Movie this week was Equilibrium. Next week is Treasure Planet. Rum for all! Andrew, the cheating bastard, won the mystery lump in the lottery. It turned out to be a model Plesiosaurus. You can't drink a Plesiosaurus, but you can probably drive it. (Insert designated Plesiosaurus joke here -g) Non-SWIL Business (there's only one type of business at this bar -g) Contra, 7 PM, Upper Tarble. This already happened. At some point in the future you'll have the opportunity to double-fist Pterodactyl Hunt Advanced and Capture the flag. E-mail bnewman *at* sccs.swarthmore.edu for more information. Ben also wants to make up drinks. I mean games. Hunter-hunted got played after meeting. It was nifty. Qian is heading to Chinatown on Friday. Watch fun. Bring me back some Tsingtao please. In a bar brawl, Jillian Caesar was assassinated. Many people stabbed the presidents just before order was called. The assassination came a few days prior to the Ides of September.
