Rant 2/20

March 3rd, 2008 | Posted in General News | No Comments »

Greetings to you all Gamers!!!

We appologize for the inconveinience caused by the glitchy system we are using. Hopfully it wont happen again any time soon, though. . . .one never knows.

And now for the MAIN EVENT!!!!!!!! I give you! THE ONE! THE ONLY! SEC’S RANT!!!!!

EconoCon:
Okay guys! this is coming up pretty quick and we’re not quite ready for it! we have two or things to cover here so sit down and shuddup!
1) There’s a committee meeting happening this thursday at 6:30 (right before club) so you should show up and make sure you get your two cents in for our concideration.

2) WE need you to pay for your freaking T-shirts! we need money for them by march first! If you have not paid us yet! (you know who you are). . . .>as the secretary realizes that he still needs to pay for HIS t-shirts. . . .aheheheheheheheh. . . oops<

3) Look around for our flyers that will begin appearing all over campus in the next couple weeks. for serious!

Warhammer Comittee:
They have their weekly meeting on saturday. If you want to be there, be there. You should go play warhammer for at least once. its fun! GO DO IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Pancakes:
We love them, you love them, you must eat them. They are freaking awesome yo!

Fundraising:
1) we are doing our shamrock sail thing for St. Patrick’s Day, running from the 10th - 14th. we need volunteers to help us out with this. It’s easy and made us money so sign up to help! But remember, if you sign up you are commited to being there. If you forget we will releace wild hedghogs into your bedding, and if that doesn’t threaten you enough I’ll paint your whole dorm room pink! and I’m talking BARBIE Pink. SO SIGN UP AND SHOW UP!

2) There is potential for a coming fundraiser. . . .the week after spring break, on wednesday the 26th, and it will be simply SMASHING. More details forthcoming! (bitches)

and now for somethign completely different!

BAAAAAAAAA DOOT DA DIDDLE DIDDLE DA DA DAAAA DA DOOT DA DIDDLE DIDDLE DA DA DAAAA DA!!!!

So I don’t even know what the deal is with a lot of things right now. Like all these freaking cultists that have shown up here in the office! People keep showing up, dressed in normal cloths but then they start chanting “eio eio Bovine factaden!” I don’t even know! What the heck I thought we put all of those things to rest a long time ago? ah well. Now for an update on the activities of the officers.

Pat has begun plotting for world domination, again. and in the midst of his plans he stopped and we were able to quote him saying about it: “It’s a nice thought, but I’d much rather sleep in!”

Craig, in a vain attempt to find the person who actually holds his deed, has signed away his soul to the devil. . . .or was it Spaz? I’m not sure anymore but eitherway it isn’t a good thing.

Adam has been seen clinging to the clocktower at midnight, screaming to the sky for cursing his ability to create liable plot for games. He claims that he will be going to the mini-mall to work the carnival, with tally hall.

Roxxy is entering videogame rehab, having finally taken the first step and admitting that Yoshi’s Story is a PROBLEM! We expect her to be broken of it in a few short weeks. . . but as with all addictions, there is a very strong chance that she could get hooked again. . . we wish her the best of luck! God speed ROXXY!

That is all for the time being. Enjoy your week and we’ll see you tomorrow night at club.
