These are the minutes for the officers' meeting on 2/16/01 written in the format of a short play. No, I don't know how to properly write a script,so don't nitpick or I'll knee you in the head.
  



   nt. apartment 1201F. Todd is eating leftover chicken fried rice from Hunan King (tm). Brighid is doing something.

enter ELAINE
Elaine: Hi!
Brighid: Hi!
Todd: mrumph
enter SNARF
Snarf: Hi, I'm here for the meeting.
Brighid: Go away before they tow your car.
Snarf: OK
Snarf leaves
ERIC arrives with a bunch of VTFC OFFICERS. All proceed to sit down and be useless for a little while. Eventually, talk of IMPORTANT VTFC STUFF begins
Eric: We need about 300 people to work Champs. The Guatamalen National Guard should suffice.
All: Sounds good!
Brighid. We might not have enough money in self- gen to cover the cost of the conscripts. We might if people who need to pay dues paid them, but...
Eric: Fine, then we'll kidnap UVA's womens' team and threaten the families and pets of about 24 of our own members and make them help.
All: Sweeeet.
Eric: And we need laptops.
Todd (snickering): Don't you have one?
    Eric pummels Todd
Todd: whimper
   EVERYONE offers their DESKTOP COMPUTERS to Eric. Eric patiently explains about 56 times that laptops are not the same as desktops.
All: Ooooohhh... Me understand.
Todd: Crap, I forgot to write all that down. Lemme get my Intro Psych notebook, it's still empty.....Could you guys repeat that stuff?
   They do.
Brighid: I found the swords we got the graduating seniors last year for a cheaper price than I've been seeing them for lately. Plus, if I take advantage of our usual suppliers' 'Match the Competitors' Price' boast, I can get the, even cheaper, and as a bonus we'll piss them off.
The Masses: Yay!
Eric: We need a printer for champs, too. Luckily their seems to be an HP plant inside our apartment somewhere, so we're all good.
Apartment Dwellers: That explains the 26 printers.....
Eric: And I need a....computer program for champs....
   Snarf and Dan hear their Call to Arms (tm) and LEAP INTO ACTION!!!!
Incredible CS Duo: Yay, programming! What do you want it to do?
Eric: I want it to be a 14x14 bout sheet, and to add up wins and maybe indicators.
Brighid: I can do that in Excel
Eric: And I want little V's and D's
Brighid: Well crap, nevermind.
Snarf: no problem..... do you want it to add up wins by school?
Eric: No.
Snarf: .......I don't understand.
Eric: Here.
   Eric draws a CRAPPY PICTURE
Snarf: .... I can make a 3D- model of all schools vs. all schools and make it rotate using an algorithm based up the average weight of each schools' fencers and the eye color of the fencer currently in the lead.... But no visual interface for inputting the data.
Eric: Huh?
Dan: Can we use Adobe Illustrator?
Snarf: And I can add a more up-to-date version of Galaga (tm)
   Erics whimpers
Dan: What will we use for the 3D rendering?
   Eric starts crying
Todd: Can you program it in Fortran?
   Eric dies
   Snarf and Dan exchange ideas about autocad or something. Elaine stares off into space, lulled into a stupor by CS- NERDSPEAK.
   Unbeknownst to all, RICK has been listening from his HOLE.
   RICK enters
Rick: (looks around) grunt.
Todd: Help me...
Rick: Grunt.
   Todd knees Rick in the head. Rick whimpers and crawls back into his HOLE, where he actually begins to write the program. Snarf asks Dan out on a date.
Todd: Who are these people, and why are they in my house?
   Eric returns from the dead to take everyone home
Brighid: Pay dues or die.
