From mpucik @ sccs.swarthmore.edu Fri Apr 16 15:38:56 2004 Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 15:38:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Mariana Pucik Reply-To: presidents @ swil.org To: swilnews @ swil.org Subject: Stop and smell the SWILnews #9 This is your friendly neighborhood Tall writing to tell you that Grande and Venti are flirting. In the library, no less. Tsk, tsk, disturbing all the students on a Friday afternoon. But anyway. SWILBeeswax-- Meeting started ten minutes after the passion flowers bloomed. The rabble didn't bloom. The left side of the flowerbed was particularly pathetic. [we really should say something about SWIL and passion flowers. -v] [i don't think i'm qualified to say something about that. -g] [...*thinks* eww, marksex! - t] BEM updates: the seeds for BEM have been sown and we're expecting sprouts any day now. T-shirts: Contact Venti if you want one. She wants money in advance. I would obey her, because she's a little tense about this one, folks. [we've been a bit lax on comments lately. -v] [hey, I'm editorializing already. -t] [i'm trying to do something about showing our spring colors, but it's not working. -g] SNS would not have been K'nex as planned, because Benitez wanted Blake to push up the daisies. We had a roundsing instead. And yes, we did sing Rose, Rose, Rose. SNS for Saturday the 17th is collaging in Eldridge Commons at the blooming of the white lychnis, 7 PM for those of you who don't know your Linnaeus. ["...for those of you without green thumbs." -g] [no. linnaeus. we can teach people things, and SO WE WILL. -t] [*effeminate giggle* -g] the Neil Gaiman project: things are moving on swiftly, but in the meanwhile we will raise money by illegally harvesting organs, or perhaps Oregon. The rabble voted upon the latter. this week's SWILmovie is Phantom Tollboth. If you are not a member and didn't choose a title when you were pruned, you can choose one. Andrew is now The Man with a Thousand Titles. Lottery -- Greg (with Andrew's ticket) won something. We're not quite sure what. [HI, ANDREW. *waves notes at him* -t] NonSWILbeeswax -- JC wants to run a D&D oneshot in May. Contact him if interested. April DMs bring May campaigns. Or something. Benitez may watch 48 hours of Stargate. Various people promised to come in the 47th hour to laugh at him. [silly, silly benitez ... silly, silly benitez. -g] [you can say that again. -t] [silly, silly benitez. he'll probably be wilted by the sixth hour. -g] [ewwwwww! -v] [what? what? ... oh, gross! -t] [we're so sophomoric. excluding grande. -t] Jim did not postpone the Easter Candy hunt, despite rain. [...will make the flowers grow. *swoons* -t] There is a GAMELAN CONCERT on Sunday, 3 PM, in the amphitheater. Mai, Rachel Kaufman and Qian are all in the orchestra, so come and admire the flowers and pretty xylophonelike music. Alex is attempting to acquire an awkward arrangement of Tolkien(via Jackson)'s artistic achievement in ... uh, Russian. Raoul wants to commend the Russian cultural consciousness. The meeting was called to odor at three before carnations. -- Attendance List of Parliamentary Pancakes -- David "Swarthmore Woman Engineer" Alejandro Benitez Christopher "All clever quotes on this attendance list are blatant lies" Jager Jerome "PDE's suck" Fung Greg "Token Rugby player, unless the arcade is closed" Robinson JC "Otto von Bis JC" Ravage Michael "No Borg were harmed in the making of this bubble tea" Noda Arthur "kitty porn blackmail" Chu [chuchu! -t] [no, i'm the train geek here. -g] Miriam "Chocolate is better than bread" Newman Ben "Island" Thuroni Thuryoni Thuronyi Blair "Hollis" Reaser Devil "Loki's Proxy" Duck Eliza "Chocolate is better than SOULS" Blair Rachel "Why did I even bother coming?"
