ROBOT MINUTES FOR 2/20/08
Mad River Room 8 PM
Side Poll! Eggs vs. Bacon. Delicious non-vegetarian breakfast options for ROBOT to choose from. Eggs were simultaneously identified as “dead baby chicken” and “delicious abortion”, with confusion over which was a pro or which was a con. One definite pro for eggs: Cadbury eggs! Because delicious chocolate and caramel make sense in egg form but not in bacon form. Bacon gets a celebrity endorsement from Kevin Bacon, and I’ve got some note here about the “essence of Bacon” which I’ve probably blocked from my memory*. Bacon is not an ingredient of cake, unlike eggs, which means unless you’re on Iron Chef, you can’t make deserts out of bacon*. Bacon also ruined Charles’s childhood. Sarah thought she had a pro for something but she totally didn’t, not at all. The final tally:
Eggs: 10
Bacon: 30
Wookiee: 34
The lesson? I dunno, Wookiees are delicious? Somehow I doubt this.
*Fun Psychology Fact: This is what we call a defense mechanism!
*Fun Iron Chef Fact: You can always try, but you will lose. Every time.
Fun Side Poll Fact: At some point during the side poll, the Monster Under The Table ate Tonks’ cell phone. Then gave it to Mary, or something, it was kind of hard to follow the process.
Meeting called to order at 8:20 pm.
ROBOT ROLL Call: Tom Servo!
Sound System Requests: None.
BUSINESS:
SECRETARY-BOT 3000 MINUTES COMMENTARY: THE FOOLISH MEATSACK NAMED “Alex” THAT HAS COMPILED THESE MINUTES DOESN’T ACTUALLY KNOW IF THE “BUSINESS” SECTION RELATES TO EITHER THE 2/20 MEETING OR THE 2/27 MEETING. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO HIS INFERIOR MEMORY CAPACITY OR HIS EQUALLY INFERIOR HUMAN “FALLIBILITY.” JOIN ME IN MOCKING THIS DREADFULLY INCOMPETENT LIFEFORM FOR HIS FAILURE AT HIS ONE JOB IN LIFE.
1) ROBOT Split
We did it again! Here we go:
FF7 Competiton
Who is bringing what?
TVs: Stephanie, Staci, Micaela (2?), Kelsey, and someone whose name I cant read, but looks like a cross between Fun and Tar

CCAT:
Should we do a tour of the CCAT Sustainability House? Volunteer possibly for 2 hours. We say 11:00 am-1:00 pm, meeting at the bottom floor of the J. I didn’t write down the date for some silly reason*
*SECRETARY-BOT 3000 COMMENTARY: LIKELY DUE TO YOUR FLESHBAG INABILITY TO FOCUS AND THINK ABOUT VIDEO GAMES OR CHARRED ANIMAL FLESH
Madden Tournament:
Originally scheduled on Easter Sunday. Moved to March 24th, changing the name of the program to Monday Night Madden, in March, in Mad River? Alliteration battle ensues.
Cosplay Workshop:
Ran by the Anime Club. Possibly 6:00 pm Tuesday, March 11th?
Anime Club’s March Meetings:
1st: How to Draw A Mecha Workshop
2nd: Guess The Anime Song Competition
3rd: Cosplay Party!
ROBOT’s March Movie Marathon:
More alliteration. Decided to be on March 22nd.
2) BOTS
Ryan arrived! He had data on six different types of BOTS present at Target. I could list them all, but I’m lazy and the only one that matters is the one everyone voted for anyway:
Each BOT is $21, and is a sort of low-to-the-ground sports car. The BOT itself runs on 6 AA’s, while the remote requires a 9 volt. Still only available on two different frequencies, although hopefully with the inclusion of more BOTS, this will be less a problem. Here’s to good wishing!
REPORTS:
Grand Poobah: Made awesome fliers for FF7 Competition and HTML Workshop. Also reminds us that ROBOT’s royalty always belong to the far superior robotic leaders of ROBOT, Fishbot and Squanky the Monquid, but that these two graciously allow two fleshy companions to take their place. Who would we choose? RPB-
General Dogsbody: What’s up? Come to the drag lounge on February 29th. It was (will be) awesome!
Scribe: Nothing
Pimp O’ Cash: Nada
Royal Vizier: Nil
Merger of Awe: See Business above
Epic Alliance: See BOTS stuff above
D2R2: Zip.
Web-tech: Brawl comes out soon
RHA Rep: More debate over the JCypress sliding glass door as well as discussions on Smoking Areas. Campus report suggests moving the smoking areas away from the Hill and Canyon gazebos. RHA disapproves.
RPB Rep: RPB has selected their Prince & Princess. They were Ryan Hall and Leticia Wyatt, though for some reason I wrote: “Prince: Ryan Hall, Princess: Leticia Ryan Hall.” I blame the essence of Bacon.
ROBOT also chose their royalty companions: Ravin Craig and Stephanie Joseph! Woo!
NAKED: J9 is doing a swimming program every Sunday from 12-2 at the campus pool!
Num Num Num Committee: Have suggestions/comments/rants/protestations over the J, Cupboard and possibly the Depot, and want to offer more feedback then what you can fit in a napkin? Come to Num Num Num! 11:30-12:30, on I think Fridays? Honestly, just ask Jannah Banana, she’ll work with your schedule.
No other reports were given.
Bonus Quote: “I want a crystal wii!”*
*I had an off night. Sue me.*
*Please don’t sue me.
Adjourned eventually
