The very inspiration for the birth of the 2VD newsletter is that the marital status, so conveniently supplied to the ladies of Rooks in a scented envelope after a great seranade, of a select few individuals may or may not have been radically changed.  However, since it would be quite a hassle to make an updated list, and most of us wouldn't mind being hit on anyways, we have decided to let the ladies of Rooks simply make educated guesses for the rest of the academic year.

As it turns out, the best idea since dodgeball has recently been formulated.  On Saturday in the Fish House, a spelling bee will be held by the student activities office.  A documentary on the National Spelling Bee will start at 7pm.  Registration will be at 8:30 pm (after the movie).  And the war/bloodbath/friendly competition will commence at 9pm.  The plan is for everyone on 2VD to compete, thus significantly increasing the chances of someone from 2VD winning the, get this, $150 grand prize.  The money will then go to the floor fund so that we have more money to do fun stuff like buy nintendo gamecubes to quel our Mario Party 5 addictions.

Speak of the devil, the official addicting game of the month is Mario Party 5 for nintendo gamecube.  Now, "month" is a loose term nowadays, and 2VD may or may not actually end up having a year long "month".  But we are using the term "game of the month" in hopes that we will soon come to the realization that life extends beyond getting the record in Leaf Leap or Triple Jump.  But for right now, it doesn't.

If you're lacking something better to do tonight, you might want to stop by the hall and check out the newest addition to the 2VD hallway.  We can't really describe it... it's just wickedly cool.
Also, the quad jungle bathroom, due to natural processes, has recently become the quad compost heap bathroom.  However, we are all still extremely exstatic over the shear originality of it all.

Taking things off 2VD for the moment (we're not that greedy afterall), the word on the street is that the suite of Rooks 206 and 204 have yet to clean their shower this year, so if you have wanted to get that feeling of "my shower isn't so bad afterall", then today may be your lucky day.

In the world of pranks, apparently, the suite of Dan, Mark, Aaron, and Rob had their doorhandles vaselined.  Apparently, there is a reward for the capture of the culprits.  Apparently, Aaron and Rob may or may not have done it to their own door only to make it look like they didn't do it.  Apparently, they deny it.
Also, after an amazing 2 months of frustration, torment, and overall bad moods, Terry finally had the remotes for his TV, VCR, and stereo returned (on his birthday no less).  Although they were very fitting gifts and much appreciated, the minimum $2750 needed to be raised at the service auction was reached, so the trinity will NOT be forgiven, and perhaps not ever.
