Subject: The anatomy of Uma Thurman and other reasons you should read the SWILnews
 (#5)

Congratulations to all SWIL non-members for the recent summoning of the
darker side of Swat.  Our compliments to all necromancers involved.  On a
lighter note... [L- -swish- -]  [TG - - duck- -]  [damn! -L]

As usual, the meeting began with a discussion of the reunion.  Elizabeth ,
oh knowledgeable reunion-type person- has noted a linear increase in
RSVP's.  They're coming in by the dozens... if your definition of "dozen"
equals about five more.  She has prudently suggested that coming up with
some activites for these itenerant hordes might be advised.  As per normal
SWIL policy, she would would like this responsibility to be delegated
ELSEWHERE!  Suggestions for activivties so far include tournament Magic,
movies, gaming, claydonian slaughterfests, patio dancing and gator
wrestling. [OK, it wasn't actually suggested, but it should have been. I
believe it was a plank in our platform. -TG]  [You can wrestle, I'll just
stand on the side and catch appendages. -L]

Damn near no end of T-shirts were brought to the meeting, yet for some
reason Besh still wants more.  Oh, wait, T-shirt  _designs_, read it wrong.
 Other than  Larry's dead dinosaur idea and two thoughts from Stephen
Sample on inverse logs and temporal convergence, we have virtually no
competitors for the impending vote.  Bring them in, or we'll hunt you down.
 

The first SWIL movie night got off to a rollicking start with a couple of
great flicks.  No one screamed except  for Hudson and he got eaten. [Game
over man! -TG]  Keep this in mind when we show Taxi Driver. This week, if
all goes well and we get back phones and photocopiers, we will be showing
another great flick Monday at 10:00 (Kirby is reserved already before that)
Check around for exciting signs by our very own jere7my tho?rpe to find out
what. Also, after last week's interesting, last-minute fiasco, we should
also discuss the monetary aspect of all of this. [A certain co-president is
out a few bucks, and photocopies cost money. -TG] However, we all feel this
to be a good and healthy sign of SWIL's presence on campus. [Much healthier
than summoning Balrogs in any event. -TG]

George is a problem again.  Charles is talking to Tedddd.  More news Saturday.  

Blue was dismembered on the second try by prostrating herself before
Kathy's comliness, deliberately not prostrating herself before Don's
comliness [Which in itself attracts Uma Thurman lookalikes by the gaggle
-L]  and embarrasing Charles.  [Neither Charles nor myself believe this
sort of behavior should be any  precedent, for it is dangerous to the
cause. -TG] [What cause? -L] [Our cause -TG] [Oh. -L] Her sentience was
finally proven by dint of her ability to procrastinate learning the
Shakespeare sonnet she recited.   We also found out why she is called
"Blue".  She needs e-mail, ask her.

There is the possibility of three, count'em three dismemberments this
coming week.   Mike Scott, Todd West and Michael Brus, be warned.  [You
thought it was just a Perspective assignment, noooooooo -L]

Non-Swil business consisted mostly of silly Magic jokes
 [What do you get if you set Don and his deck on fire?  A blackened decker. 
No manna's an island -L] 

On a serious note, many of you probably know that Dan Gaubatz '94 died this
Tuesday from unknown causes.  Deidre Edwards is putting together a memory
book for his parents, if you have anything you'd like to write or add
(photos, etc.) please call or e-mail her (dedward1).  We extend our
greatest sympathies to his parents and I know I'll miss him immensely.

Jim Moskowitz says there will be a Story Reading next Wednesday at 7:30
(till about ten) in Borders bookstore on the Baltimore Pike.  Come and
bring books.
 Jere7my is almost through with the Prisoner episodes, tune in this week to
see what he's showing for the rest of the semester.  And now our stab at
the Nobel prize for Literature, cleverly disguised as...
