Graham. Check your facts. Selphie was not only present for the 1st meeting of EGG, but was also on the charter as an exec - position "Booth Babe/Bunny Girl"

Since ~*♥*~Geale~*♥*~ is almost impossible to understand, we don't sell T-Shirts any more. We have the supplies and equipment to make a few more but they seemed to be more trouble than they were worth.

Dang.
OT: Any chance of this thread being necro'd for real? It was pretty funny up until about a year ago.

Ah, but there are so many tales! A small selection of some of the lighter and more recent tomes from the time I've been around alone includes:
  • "Wearing the Skins of Category-2 Clubs for Fun and Profit: The Non-Electronic Gamers' Guild"
  • "The Relative Trustworthiness of Men With Bikes (A Qualitative Study)"
  • "Electrical Engineering for Electrical Engineers"
  • "A Tale of Two Mistresses (aka Mummy, Why Is There A Strange Man Sleeping On The Couch?)"
  • "When Fridges ATTACK!!! Illustrated Edition"
  • "The D&D Monster Manual UTS Union Event Supplement"
  • "University Union Financial Management vol. 4 - How to Lose Invoices Until the Most Inconvenient Moment"
  • "The FoodCube and I"
"It's a boot," says Cheryl, "in space."
The robot lions charge together. They form a giant robot. This is the glorious stock footage that is Voltron.
Vladimir rubs at his chin. There is the sparkling in his mind again. "We should add lasers."
"Heat-seeking lasers!"
"They laughed at us in engineering class," says Vladimir. "But now the engineering department is in ruins - we may build as we see fit."
Thunder crashes all around them.

When Fridges ATTACK!!! - a tale filled with thrills, chills and literal spills. That tome is separated into a prologue plus two parts:

  1. Prologue: Well-Meaning Poisoning of the Homeless
  1. Ground Zero
  2. The Second Impact

It's also all mostly accessible in the public records, and as such can't be found among EGG's Tomes of Occluded History.
