The point is, 2VD spilled some major blood last Thursday.  After being severe underdogs until 2pm on the last day to give blood, Terry stormed down the hall and managed to gather roughly 20 extremely generous guys together.  Realizing that the wait would be several hours and that Smalls' gameboy with only Tetris would not be enough to keep us occupied, a few valiant members made the trek back to RVD to get Dave's gamecube so that we could further fuel our Mario Party 5 addictions.  The highlight had to have been Mike using the cordless controller from his interview chair while waiting for the nurse.  Way to take it to the extreme Mike!  The main point is that 2VD, in dramatic come from behind style, took the much coveted grand prize of a pizza party for the entire floor.  We'll be sure to let you all know when it will be so you can come and watch us eat our pizza if you want.  Chad S. holds the title for the fastest gusher, filling an entire bag in 6 minutes flat.  To quote the girl beside him who took a half hour, "you jerk!"

Due to the length of last weeks edition (since we did need to make up for many weeks not covered) there were a few "errors" ,if you will, that need to be resolved:
1.  The monetary goal for the trinity to be forgiven for stealing Terry's remotes for 2 months was $3250, not $2750, and that goal was NOT reached unlike what the newsletter stated.  The grammatical errors were pointed out successfully, however the main point still remains:  The trinity will probably not be forgiven ever.
2.  Apparently the suite of Rooks 204 and 206 HAVE in fact cleaned their bathroom on more than zero occasions.  The actual number will remain disclosed for now, but a heart-felt apology goes out to those ladies if they were at all insulted (which they were).  And just so you all know, they passed the shower check on the first try.

This issue raises an important point:  This newsletter will often poke fun, laugh at, take advantage of other people's faults, etc. etc. however, this is purely for the shear hilarity of it all and is in no way meant to slander the name of anyone or cause anyone to tell the chief editor to "shove-it!!"

In other news, Chad Vickery may or may not have been randomly appearing on guys' futons or floors when they awake in the morning.  To quote an anonymous victim, "I just woke up and saw this dark blob on my couch.  It scared the mother-loving junk out of me."  In an interview with Chad himself, he stated that "So far Dave and Mike's futon was the most comfortable, but I didn't even last the night on Terry's love seat... Greg's floor was much better."  He had no comment when asked if he might expand his operation to the girls' side.

Response of the Week:
Due to the shear hilarity of some of the responses and in recognition of the intense time and effort that some of you must put into your responses, we have decided to have a response of the week section in every newsletter to honor those that make us proud (whether in brilliance or in stupidity).
This weeks winner is Mr. Rob VanHarken.
"This was such a great idea.  Coolest idea ever.  We do lots of weird things at 3 in the morning that we would love to anonymously have put in the newsletter."
If you don't see the hilarity of this submission try writing the same thing to your RA.
Good luck to all of this week's competitors.

Perhaps the highlight of the weekend for many of us was the Holly Ball on Friday night.  Apparently, the food was great, and the DJ's sucked, but they didn't suck as bad as most DJ's.
Apparently, it's impossible to find a DJ who doesn't suck, so don't blame it on the AC's.  Other points worth mentioning:
- Mike's date was a plant
- Ryan wore very tight pants, and hot shades
- Jason is a totally different person when his girlfriend is around
- quote of the night, "I didn't know your man could move like that" - Akua
- Dave was the water boy
- Terry wants his gum back
- Aaron S. knows how to do the sprinkler like all get out

And now, back to the thing that matters most... Mario Party 5.
- Dave is making Mike buy his own controller to contain the blood loss to himself
- A race to a million points in the mini-game decathalon has been started.  Joel is winning with an average of more than 6400 points
- the record for a single decathalon game is 7189 by Mike
- in a recent game of Dinger Derby, Terry hit the first 29 pitches, but choked miserably on the last, thus having the coveted 30 still elude him.  In a recent interview he said, "possibly the worst thing that could ever happen to a serious MP5 player just happened (tears)"
- Dave and Terry have declared themselves unbeatable in Beach Volleyball
- Mike became the second person to break 160 yds. in Leaf Leap
- In rebuttal of David taking home his gamecube and Mario Party 5 until exams are over, the guys have pooled their money and are renting the game tonight.  That's the epitome of dedication 

2VD would like to send out a big thankyou to Valerie for tearing apart the most recent 2VD/2R floor dinner by suggesting that we go to Knollcrest.  2VD would like to thank (for real this time) those girls who remained faithful to their men and their dining hall, and went to commons.  Perhaps the highlight of the floor dinner was when Mo asked Terry to borrow some money.  In a recent interview he said, "My boss just asked me for money... that never happens."

Just for kicks and giggles, the men of 2VD have decided that having their own email address is simply not enough to demonstrate how cool they are, so they have decided to create their own website.  Name ideas are still being asked for, but so far the leading contender is www.marioparty5aholicsanonymous.com

In world news, the record for consecutive hours watching movies stratight was broken recently with an astounding 66 hours.  Apparently, some members of 2VD laugh in the face of a challenge and plan on breaking that record during interim.

It has come to the attention of the chief editor via Rob Lindquist that while Ben is the only memeber of the fantasy basketball league who actually plays basketball, he is in dead last.
Mark Varney remains in first for the second week in a row.  Terry climbs to second and is a 3  games back.  Ryan H. falls to third and is 4.5 games back.  Ryan K. sits in fourth and is just 5.5 games back.  And smalls rounds out the top 5 just 7 games back.

That about wraps things up for this week.  The newsletter may or may not be in circulation next week due to exams.  But wait in expectation just for the heck of it, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Any questions, concerns, comments, or submissions, please reply to [email protected] (I'm not joking, that's actually our email address, so please use it)

We wish you great success on you finals and a very, very, very, extremely, merry Christmas (not X-mas),
