Tolkien Varsity quiz

CTS met our opposite numbers, had lunch, and repaired to Newnham for the quiz. It went pretty well -- I was just watching but the questions seem not beyond the possibility of knowing, and there were several innovative rounds (articulate, map, and unfortunately not pin the tail on the balrog), and I got to say 'hi' to some old friends. However, I had to rush off to...

Poohsoc

The Annual General Meeting. As always, very silly, and very funny. We elected Mysterious Californian Girl to president, and just about filled out a complete committee, admittedly resorting to electing people in London and China, being before I forget. Pres: MCG. Sec: Alex Beetle. Undersec: Andy-in-China. Foreign Sec: Lisa. Home sec: me. Treasurer: James-outgoing-president. CR (casting vote): Owen. James (finding innuendo and abstaining): Ben.

There are lots of good candidates for James (innendo is our business), but unfortunately they're all more urgently needed in another role. M, if you're reading, I proposed you, but Ben won out by being there.

Ghoti's party

Ghoti's naked party was fun. I was worried it was going to be awkward, but it was entirely nice people I'm relaxed around, and we had fun playing geeky strip games, and no-one was offended by my not being Zeus, and we ate pizza. Thank you for organising it.

Wow, a naked party. That sounds terribly fun. How many people were there?

I'm glad mysterious Californian girl became president, she seemed to be really in to it. Does she have a LJ?

[ravingglory.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do :)

Aha! :-)

I thought she should, but I was worried she was going to be self-deprecating and we were going to have to persuade (or maybe just outright elect) her to do it. That's what normally happens in elections. But as it happened she was happy to take charge and displayed stunning knowledge of Winnie-the-Pooh lines and excellent Jam taste.

Nakedness and orgies? Blimey! I didn't know you were into that kinda thing :p

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

But we decided not to have any orgies. And didn't you? Really?

Well, ok, neither did I, I was shy, but ghoti persuaded me it would be fun, and it was. I might host strip mao next time, do you want to come? :)

Of course everyone is going to comment on the naked party ;)
Is 'being Zeus' part of the game, or an inneundo?

LOL. Greenenders (the ongoing soap opera on my livejournal, in different TV styles) sleazy ratings boost edition.

Announcer: OK, now no-one's been watching, so we're going to spice this show up.
*Slow cheesy stipping music starts*
Announcer: We're going to have a normal episode of Greenenders but entirely naked.
Censor: Are you *sure* about this?

Oh, and Zeus as in a greek god, being eight foot tall and perfectly proportioned

[liv]

You've made me aware of an entirely new desire: I really want to play geeky strip games with people who do not resemble Greek gods now!

ROFL. I just have this wonderful poignant image of a brought house full of laughter, and Apollo turning away sadly from the door, bottle drooping in his hand, as he slouches rejected away into the rain...

I would like to play with you, I'll let you know if I ever host one myself :) Do you play Bridge or Mao, that is where the true geekery is :)
