Minutes to the 01/27/07 MDS Meeting
A haiku:
The cold wind did blow
But our back corner proved warm
Good friends together
IN ATTENDANCE
Liz (presiding), Dan (secretarying), Maggie (remindifying), Brian, Erin, Jenny (commencifying via a pre-recorded message), Matt, Irina and Liz (though those three mostly played pool the whole time).
RESOLUTIONS
- IT IS HEREBY RESOVLED that the next reading assignment is to FINISH THE BOOK;
- IT IS HEREBY RESOVLED that Brian received a goddamned gold star for the week;
- IT IS HEREBY RESOVLED that people who write in public books are turds;
- IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Matt looks like a British hooligan this evening;
- IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Vanessa is now General Counsel (per an email discussion following the meeting);
- IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the MDS form a blue ribbon subcommittee for the purpose of a detailed, fiscally-responsible analysis of the modern-day usage of “geeked” (per an email discussion following the meeting);
- IT WAS UNRESOLVED when the MDS should next meet.
LOOK, MA, WE ACTUALLY DID SOME TALKIN’ ‘BOUT THE BOOK!
- Erin took it upon herself to get more chairs, an action that was helpful but sadly not deserving of a gold star;
- The Commencifier spoke to us from a little black, plastic box – how did she get in there?! and why won't she answer us?! is she hungry?! thirsty?! what if she has to go number two?! – and talked mostly about something other than the book at hand while wearing a sweater on her head;
- The Secretary brings up this one bit from this episode of Nature about a freakin’ amazing mussel that has a fish-looking appendage that when you touch it, a geyser of baby mussels squirts out all into the face of whatever touched the appendage and that's how it makes babies;
- And lo! it is asked where the Sartoris silver went – no one knows, but the idea is that Loosh gave it up to the Yankees;
- John Sartoris is a guerilla fighter, but one with a mother-fucking code – ‘cause, like, when he stole a horse? he totally left a note;
- The boys were carrying a box of dirt to remind them of home, just like how Samwise Gamgee had some dirt that the Lady Galadriel gave him when the Fellowship left Lothlorien, not that a box of dirt would do him any good where he was going next, right?;
- Speaking of dirt, it is revealed that the President and Erin both drank river water and everyone nods that this totally explains a lot;
- Drusilla’s reaction totally represents a wholly new outlook to life, a stark contrast to Granny’s refusal to accept that blacks could be free, or that her life is otherwise different now – on a related note, the President’s brother is (was?) dating a hydra;
- How old is Bayard? Old enough to know better, that’s for damn sure;
- Faulkner’s use of a child to describe the war allows him more flexibility, though the strength and coherence of the narrative suffers;
- As a whole, stories seem well-connected, as if they were written together (though they weren’t!);
- The meeting was ADJOURNED at 8:00 with plans to go to Feed thereafter for dinner. Hmmnnn… Feed…
