Reviews:
Harold reviewed 'Invictus' as an excellent film, totally feel-good,
uplifting and recommended

Adrienne reviewed being at the Gene Burns' Cookie Exchange as she had a lot
of fun, there were great cookies there, her 'spirited eggnog cookies' were
picked to compete among 25 others from among 400+ entries and that while she
was not one of the winners, she got great swag

Andy reviewed the Syfy 'Alice' as it was better than Syfy's 'Flash Gordon'
but still ham-handed; NOT 4-hours of his life totally wasted & not worth
self-mutilation;  [evil] Kevin follow-on'd that at least it managed to have
a happy ending

'Sir not appearing in these minutes' reviewed a Cargo Cult supplied book =
'The Corpse wore Pasties' by Johnny Porkpie as it was a lot of fun &
entertaining, worth $7.99; reviewed the Psychotronic Film Festival as it
showed a lot of great films - and then those others ones, too & was worth
the $5 that Linda paid when she took him to see it; & reviewed 'Up in the
Air' as wrist-slittingly good, wonderfully depressing, well-acted and
fantastic and worth full price - plus Linda is getting him 'Boilerplate' for
Christmas

[evil] Kevin reviewed the PENSWAG donation show as full of foxes & at the
Snow Ball Miss Debra roller-skated and lived to tell about it, then they did
wine tasting and had fun

Dave C reviewed the 'Fabulous Mr Fox' as fun & reviewed 'The Terror' by Dan
Simmons as grim & detailed, worth full price paperback & reviewed a
Southwest airlines flight as the least stressful flight he's had in a while

Glenn reviewed a seafood dish he had as absolutely amazing

we did auctions:   we auctioned off books for $1.00; then videos for $2.50 &
$1.25

We adjourned at = 9:14

And the rumor of the week was: 'Andy and Kevin need a Syfy channel
safe-word'
