[generalripphook]

Also sorry for the 6 different threads, my computer went crazy half way in and apparently posted a bunch....I dont even know how 

[VonVilkee]

Great job Eli, thanks for doing this!

[Wiccus]

I am impressed wee one.

[Munkie]

Easily the most accurate and entertaining thing I've read in a long time.

 

Is it safe to assume all the weiners you were forced into doodling will be scanned and uploaded shortly?

[Fix]

 

6:20 Brad nominates himself to put a URL on back rooms white board.

 

Did it.  Done.  Requisitioned Nathan to draw a gerbil.  It was done, close enough.  A shrunken URL exists.  I am reporting to the endless internet what was written on a whiteboard in the back of a game store.  Somehow my life has meaning.  You people who aren't reading this better appreciate the effort.

 

Also, goddamn, how did we not create the position of secretary and force Eli into bondage for that position forever?

 

BUT IT WAS NO XWING TOURNAMENT THIS "MONTH" *CRACKS WHIP* BACK IN THE HOLE, WORM!  YOU'RE THE MOTH!

 

Seriously though, that was pretty much accurate, except it left out all the parts of Eli (the eldest) being a fool, which is totally the prerogative of the fool who records history.

 

I mean honestly, we couldn't hope for better note taking than that.  Good job, Eli (you fool).

[nathonicus]

Those are the most entertaining meeting notes of all time. I nominate Eli as official Warhamster Secretary.

[intrizic]

I second the nomination

 

 

I do like tags :D

[sergentzimm]

Great write up. I was out due to a cold that just won't leave. 

[smashthedean]

I prefer these minutes to ignore the fact that Shaun's son was there and imagine Eli the elder just getting a sock put on him and making baby sounds instead.

[generalripphook]

Man I like being prefered to as Eli the elder. I also liked the being carried home by Shaun, a lot easier then driving myself.

[sounder]

Well done, it was like I was really there to experience everything!

[Burk]

I congratulate and encourage all you to keep organizing.  As a person who was there when OF began it is tough and really hard to organize the cats, but the results are worth it in the end (or will be when we see what the end looks like ).  Keep up the good work and again if you guys ever want some advice or just a nice slap on the ass, the OF senate is always around and willing to help out.  

 

Good work!!

[Munkie]

Oh we know you Ordites are willing to "lend a hand" when it comes to ass-slapping!

[Hobbitron]

Those are the most entertaining meeting notes of all time. I nominate Eli as official Warhamster Secretary.

 

Will he have to wear a skirt?

[generalripphook]

Only if a skirt is the only piece of clothing I wear. 

[fluger]

This was freaking hilarious to read.  

[intrizic]

it was a fun meeting :)

[huggies01]

This is probably the most disgustingly written piece of rot garbage that I have ever had the displeasure to read.

 

Calm down just kidding. Don't get your skid marked underwear in a bunch. Eli awesomely written well done. I also second Eli the Elder as secretary. However in the famous words of a one Han Solo, "Don't get cocky kid". Those December minutes better be equally fascinating to read.

 

Too bad I couldn't be there guys, phoenix blows per usual. It is nice to see the club take some action and make some change. Lets keep it up.

[generalripphook]

Yeah I am fine with being a secretary.

[VonVilkee]

Yeah I am fine with being a secretary.

Not "A" secretary, "THE" secretary!

[Munkie]

Too bad I couldn't be there guys, phoenix blows per usual. It is nice to see the club take some action and make some change. Lets keep it up.

If you see Larry Fitzgerald, please take a lead pipe to him.
