Hello again...
Here are the minutes - such as they are - for tonight's meeting. There really wasn't much going on. Hey, I wouldn't even send out these minutes except I suspect I am mandated to by the PODS Constitution.
That reminds me, as Secretary, I should probably have, at some point, actually SEEN the Constitution and maybe even have a copy of it. Now that I mention it, no one I've spoken to has seen the Constitution either. It's kinda like one of those urban legends - no one I know has seen it, but they all claim to know someone who has. With my luck, I'm probably going to wake up one day in a bathtub full of ice with the PODS Constitution written on my chest in lipstick.
I suppose we really don't need a Constitution - SUBOG notwithstanding - because we wouldn't really follow it anyway. An "unwritten Constitution" - one which describes punishments for mentioning Swedish Fish in any sort of public forum - seems to suit us just fine.
I wonder if we can elect a Swedish Fish to office? Well, if it was a UConn student... Hmmm...
Anyway:
---PODS Mini-tes for 2/21---
I. PRE-MEETING DISCUSSION ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A. Nate, stay strong! Don't give in! B. The Church, the world's largest business, will soon be spinning off their "Confessions" division. 1. The official name will be, surprise, Confessions.com (NASDAQ: SINN) 2. Their world headquarters will be located in Las Vegas, NV. 3. Their CEO - the True Pope (who wears wingtip shoes and shuns the stupid hat) - will still live in Indiana. a. Say hi to him from us, Nate... I've heard he [the True Pope, not Nate] is a Unitarian. b. The Figurehead Pope is still Catholic. Or at least that's what they say.
II. MY REPORT ON "DOWNTOWN" MANSFIELD A. The Funny Part 1. The surveyors map from the DC labels Buckley as the Daily Campus and Shippee as Buckley. 2. Oops! B. The Not Funny Part 1. Mansfield is apparently planning on developing the woods behind Store24/the Greek Chapel a. N.b: this is where we have held our Mabon Circle the past few years b. And they're going to put "clubs, bars, art galleries, and apartments" in there. 2. B@st@rds!
III. BUSINESS MEETING A. There was no business meeting.
IV. POPPET MAKING A. We came, we sewed, we conquered. B. Attendance was very low. (And is likely to be lower in the future following a line like that...) 1. In a strange twist of fate, however, Tim DID show up. You rock. 2. Fatefully however, strange, twisted Mike also showed up. You still need email. a. I will continue to do things like that until you get it... b. Um, well, if you don't have it, then how would you know? c. NOTE: Someone please tell Mike I frequently ridicule him in the minutes. i. Thanks.
V. UPCOMING MEETINGS A. The following are still on our schedule until someone tells me differently: 1. Thu. Feb. 28, 7PM, SU386: "Herbalism" with Erika (and Full Moon Circle?) 2. Thu. Mar. 7, 7PM, SU386: "Mythology" 3. Thu. Mar. 14, 7PM, 403 South B, "Candle Making" B. Have you cleared your calendar for Beltane yet? 1. It's Fri. Apr. 26th to Sun. Apr. 28th somewhere. 2. It will be cool.
VI. QUOTE FROM YOSEMITE'S WEBSITE A. "During your overnight stay, expect to see and hear park staff patrolling public areas for bears. You may hear park staff yelling at and chasing bears, sometimes with a Karelian bear dog. You may also see or hear park staff using a shotgun to shoot firecrackers or rubber projectiles at bears."
VII. THAT'S ALL FOLKS A. Well, that's it for the minutes. B. All fluff, no substance. C. Hey, _I_ had fun... 1. Was it good for you, too?
Love,
Dan
P.S. My name backwards spells AKSIL NAD. Just thought you'd like to know. ~D!~
