Hi everyone!

I know that many people are anticipating the first Annual TnT Meeting.  It had been scheduled for July 1st, but unfortunately we're not well prepared.

The Board has decided to postpone the meeting until September, at which time we will hold elections for a new Board of Directors.

More information at our next board meeting.  All are invited!

Careful. You postpone the annual meeting suspiciously and at the last minute and you'll have throngs of.... 3 maybe 4 bored people twittering away inciting riots. Of course, we're all geographically dispersed so it would mostly consist of us getting blitzed and being hauled away for public intoxication (or displays of affection) by the constabulary.

On a related note, who would be the TNT version of Ahmadinnerjacket?

I nominate Ken.  I've seen a picture of him and he has that same wild eyed bug fuck crazy look as Mr. Dinnerjacket.

In Republicans' struggle between Wall Street and Maine Street, I guess we know where you stand.

I'll bite, since I don't get your joke. Who lives in Lisbon Falls, Maine?

I never said I wanted to destroy it. I said I wanted to wipe it off the map.

Is there any reason you think Lisbon Falls is a particularly liberal place?

I see, time to guess what Zyx means, again. Why do you want to wipe Lisbon Falls off any maps? Do you (secretly) mean you object to its name and don't want that name to appear on maps? Do you (secretly) mean you just don't care about Lisbon Falls? Was your remark (secretly) intended to be responsive to Lou? Was it (secretly) intended NOT to be responsive to Lou?

If I were guessing, I would say you had no idea what you intended when you said you wanted to wipe "Lisbon Falls off the map" and that everything you have written since was intended to hide that one salient fact. I wouldn't guess, though. You won't be accusing me of trying to guess, will you?

What does not wanting Lisbon Falls wiped off maps have to do with its political persuasions? I would probably object to wiping almost any community off maps. I can only hope that you don't (secretly) mean you want to kill all of Lisbon Falls' residents.

I live in Maine and used to live near Lisbon/Lisbon Fall.  Ken spent a summer or something here.  Sadly, he was lured into the woods with whoopie pies and brutally molested by a gang of Chickadees.  His calls for help went unheeded because the rest of his family was being brutally smacked about the head by black flies.  Also, his brother was sold into slavery aboard a lobster boat.

Damn, and I thought I had Maine related tragedy bad. All that happened to me is some psychotic ex of some random chick in college sent me multiple electronic threats that if I ever crossed into Maine I would get my ass kicked. Dick.

You should look Lou up and hang out with him sometime. I think it would be awesome. Kind of like "The Odd Couple" --- except in real life.

Damnit! Novy, zyxwvutsr, can't you two see that you're in love with each other? You bicker back and forth and neither of you can let it go, but at the same time neither of you can stop talking about the other. When I go out to a bar with Novy it's all "Did you see what zyxwvutsr wrote". When I go to lunch with zyxwvutsr, Novy is the only topic of conversation. You're obsessed with each other, you're retarded for each other. And when one of you goes offline for even a day the other IMs half the membership to find out if there's something wrong.

Novy, you know who sent all the flowers when you were in the hospital with diverticulitis? It was zyxwvutsr. Zyxwvutsr, you know who cleaned your Mom's gutters and fixed her garage door when she broke her wrist? It was Novy. It's obvious to everyone here that you're meant to be together and this bickering is just a front to mask your real feelings. Feelings, by the way, that are clearly so strong that if we could bottle the sexual tension between you two we could solve the energy crisis.

Back in the driveway, we were nothing! Now we've risen to the highest level, but you're throwin' it all away! I remember a long time ago, I didn't have anybody. You two took me in. Novy let me crash on your couch for months during the last tech downturn, and zyxwvutsr kept submitting my resume for every job the company had, from Customer Service Phone Slave to Senior Developer, and neither of you would let me give up. I guess that's why it kills me to see you like this. If we can't all be friends... then the heart and soul are out of this. Certainly out of me.

Now please, for the good of all of those who care about you two and for the love of our Caribbean brothers, stop this madness! Drop all this silly arguing and admit that you love each other!

No. When someone accuses you in later discussions of harbouring genocidal intentions toward people in Maine, it will be my pleasure to remind you of this discussion and explain that their misinterpretation of your remarks made more sense than your actual remarks.

Is this a virtual meeting or do the bylaws require the board to physically meet?

The first draft of the bylaws had a provision about, "swapping spit in the shower or equivalent," but that was removed for some reason.

We're allowed to have a meeting in IRC, and that's what we plan to do.
