Minutes: Summarized and approved.

• A motion is made to read the long version of the minutes to annoy the Lizard King.
• The demand is made for "Pikachu blood," over and over.
• Adam (Carl) burps.
• The motion is made that Ryan no longer be allowed to talk at meetings. Motion passes unanimously, minus one.
• [Item deleted because it's Ryan].
• The club launches into a Monty Python montage, which compels the Captain to begin committee reports.
• The Captain mentions Buffy.

Committee Reports:

• We have a new person here today. Odds in Vegas of her showing up again are 35-1 against.

• The Lizard King delivers the report by proxy.
• (shrugs)

• The final cost for t-shirts will be $7.50 (that figure includes tax), and $9.25 for sizes at or above 2XL.
• T-shirts will be available for distribution by the next meeting, so have your money ready.

• Adam (Carl) delivers the report in a preposterous position, with his feet on the table, and his posterior on the floor. He then proceeds to rump-walk around.
• No report.
• The Lizard King, speaking as the former Adam (Adam Emeritus?), is impressed with tonight's report.
• The Captain grants the Lizard King the authority to make one decree. However, nobody hears/understands it. The chance is wasted.

Officers' Reports:

• The minutes aren't up yet. What are you gonna do about it, huh?
• The suggestion is made that the Comm Officer put up next week's minutes during this week in order to save time.

• The current balance is $142.09.
• The Nagus repays $3.00 for gas money, so the new balance is $139.09.
• The Chief adds $300 to the treasury, out of $601.45 total received from amazon.com, amazon.de, and the first six months of 2000 for the Buffy Guide.
• Confusion is expressed over whether the previous phrase was "Buffy Guide" or "Buffy died;" the former is correct.
• In conclusion, the new current balance is $439.09. There is much applause to celebrate the fact that the club is loaded.
• The observation is made that this is why nobody else can be David, because he brings us much loot.

• Chemistry!
• No report.
• The statement is made that the preceding was wrong.
• Part-time Carl (not David or the Chief) is declared wrong.
• The Lizard King is also declared wrong.

• Addendum to the T-Shirt Committee report: Cash or checks are acceptable forms of payment for the t-shirts.
• Make out all checks to Julie Faas, since she's the one who put the shirts on her credit card.

• Mail.
• Mail:
  • Volunteer Vibe propaganda
  • Regarding the previous item, a query is made regarding whether anyone needs "T.P."
  • A letter from Joy Blue and the Bradley H.E.A.T.
  • The Nagus promptly destroys the preceding letter out of vengeance for a person affiliated with that organization who stuck her with the moniker of "Megara."
  • {Gamera vs. Megara?}
  • {The previous statement did not occur in the minutes officially (and neither did this one, for that matter), but was made by the Comm Officer while typing up the minutes. He would also like to point out that "Gamera" and "Megara" are anagrams of each other.}
• Adam (Carl) is apparently annointed by Amy. Whether or not he was also baptized remains to be seen.

Scifi News:

• Mass chaos reigns.
• Some sort of massive brawl during the meeting lends legitimacy to forming a WWF committee, or possibly a Jerry Springer committee.
• David has three items of news for us tonight.
• Adam (Carl) burps.
• Make that four items. (Hard-boiled eggs, anyone?)
• The Watcher's Guide Volume II is now available, covering the third and fourth seasons of Buffy.
• The Starfleet Corps of Engineers series will gain two new books, due out in January.
• Apparently, Adam (Carl) runs on gas. For comparison, the old Adam ran on blasphemy.
• Finally, the results of the presidential election between Jaresh-Inyo and Luis Santiago are still unknown as of yet. Incoming ballots from Cestus III are deemed critical to the outcome.
• Ryan notes that every social group he has ever been associated with has, sooner or later, ordered him to stop talking. To date, none have been successful.
• The suggestion is made that we obtain some straitjackets and duct tape.
• Also, today is Alfre Woodard's birthday. She played Lily Sloane in Star Trek: First Contact. Yay!
• An experiment conducted during tonight's Voyager viewing has confirmed that Judge Judy is even worse that Fairhaven, something previously thought impossible.
• The Lizard King reports that the Gargoyles series is being continued via fan fiction on their website.
• Apparently, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are currently featured in a comic strip; the Lizard King howls in pain upon hearing this.
• The suggestion is made that those interested should sign up for the honors seminar, "New Directions in Science Fiction," for the spring 2001 semester.
• Also, everyone is notified of the band concert this Sunday in Dingeldine, since half the club will be there anyway.
• The Captain makes a cryptic comment about how there are less than twenty days until [item deleted for security reasons].

Adjournment: 10:42.5 (now)pm
