<div>Exec has a t-shirt archive. It may have even been recently (...2006?) cleaned. [[User:Arwong|Arwong]] 16:21, 29 March 2008 (EDT)</div>Arwonghttps://wiki.cmukgb.org/index.php?title=Chris_Newman&diff=3191Chris Newman2008-01-07T08:07:52Z<p>Arwong: /* Is the story true? */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Chris Newman''' is the founding [[treasurer]] of [[KGB]].<br />
<br />
==A Story==<br />
At some point during his [[President|presidency]], [[Abe]], intent on finding a [[The real world|job]] in the game industry, had an on-campus interview with [[Microsoft]]. The interview went on in a small room in the [[dungeons]] of the [[University Center]]. There was your usual technical question and then the topic shifted towards general matters, and it went something like this:<br />
<br />
"I notice you've written on your r&eacute;sum&eacute; that you're the president of the [[Carnegie Mellon]] [[KGB]]," said the interviewer, a guy in his late 30s or early 40s who had worked on various Windows platform bits.<br />
<br />
"Oh, yes," said Abe, who was accustomed to this coming up, "[[KGB]] is a social organization on campus..." and on. "It's a good time. We have weekly [[meetings]] and abide by [[Robert's Rules of Order]], so--"<br />
<br />
The interviewer butted in, somewhat surprised, "[[Still! Huh.]]"<br />
<br />
''Still.''<br />
<br />
"Oh." This was unexpected. "Yeah..."<br />
<br />
"I was the founding [[treasurer]] of the [[KGB]]."<br />
<br />
"'''''Oh.'''''"<br />
<br />
Abe apparently passed the on-campus interview in spite of completely bombing the aforementioned technical question, and proceeded to the phone screen stage.<br />
<br />
==Is the story true?==<br />
<br />
While many former KGB folks have worked at Microsoft, including the founding corresponding secretary [[Dan Lovinger]], Chris Newman only worked for Microsoft as a summer intern once in 1988 so he wasn't part of this particular story.<br />
<br />
Well, I really don't remember the guy's name, but I definitely had an on-campus interview with someone who declared himself as the founding treasurer of KGB. Pretty sure it was treasurer. Could've been * secretary. [[User:Arwong|Arwong]] 03:07, 7 January 2008 (EST)<br />
<br />
==How the Penny Throwing Started==<br />
<br />
Since I was the founding treasurer and the organization had no money, it seemed appropriate to ask for money during the Treasurer's report. So I started doing that, and resourceful KGB members decided to take the request literally in the form of one cent coins flying in the general direction of the treasurer. I found it entertaining so it became a tradition (cue fiddler on the roof music).<br />

The office of [[President]] was briefly held by the [[Democracy|democratically]] [[elections|elected]] [[pfriedma]]. When he went on [[Dean's Vacation]] during the summer of 2004, [[Exec]] filled the position with the [[Democracy|democratically]] [[elections|elected]] (as [[1st VP]]) [[Abe Wong]]. The position of [[1st VP]] was then filled by the political placeman [[Aleffert|Akiva Leffert]]. <br />

<hr />
<div>[[Booth]] is the process of constructing a wooden scaffolding for holding [[spackle]] and [[caulk]]. Organizations can Win Booth by having the most uniformly-spackled wooden structures on [[Midway]].<br />
<br />
It is very important to ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when spackling a booth. If you simply give a bucket of spackle to [[Creidieki]], and tell him "figure out what to do with this", you will not Win Booth. Particularly if he then enlists all of the freshmen.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after you [[spackle]] something, you wait for it to dry, and then you sand over it, and then you paint it. Casual afterthought is then used to construct a [[roofs|roof]] and cover it in tar paper. Roof construction is oft-considered the best time of year to identify which KGB members are [[load bearing]].<br />
<br />
All of this might be fun, if it didn't cost more than [[KGB]] has spent on anything else, ever. That small detail <i>guarantees</i> fun.<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[metaphysics|metaphysical]] principle of editing is embodied in a law of attraction. You edit what you think about. <br />
<br />
You want this, don't you? The desire to edit is swelling in you now. Take your keyboard. Use it. Edit this article with it. Give in to your desire to edit. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. <br />
<br />
Your edits are unavoidable. Your edits are your destiny. You, like your father, are now mine.<br />
<br />
== Some style suggestions ==<br />
* '''Bold''' the article title the first time it appears by surrounding it in <nowiki>'''triple-ticks'''</nowiki><br />
* Give every article at least one [[Special:Categories|category]]<br />
* Give every article at least one out-link<br />
* If you are making a comment, such as in a talk page, use four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to insert your username and a timestamp.<br />
* Mark short articles as [[KGB Wiki:Stubs|stubs]] using <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki><br />

<blockquote>The proper prepartation of a Chrisamaphone:<br />
<br />
* Two small kittens, preferably with ears<br />
* Two bits of different lemon flavored cookies<br />
* Three cups dehydrated water, rehydrated <br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and give the kitten a saucer of milk. Mix the lemon cookie and water until fully absorbed by the sponge and serve over pasta salad. If no lemon cookies are available, substitute orange-flavored chocolate to form substitute officer [[User:Gwillen|gwillen]].</blockquote><br />

It would be totally keen if:<br />
<br />
* The party were held someplace near campus to make travel between [[Midway]] and the party easy.<br />
* The party were held someplace where real [[food]] could be served or possibly provided.<br />
* The party were held someplace that a full range of beverages could be served.<br />
* We had custom [[KGB]] pocket protectors as favors.<br />
* There were an associated game of [[CTFWS]]. <br />
* The party were held on a cruise ship in some exotic location. <br />
* We Defectors created a blitz [[booth]].<br />
* A variety of ancient and revered [[KGB]] artifacts could be assembled and displayed.<br />
** [[Images]] of any and all [[KGB]] silliness need to be preserved for posterity in the [[KGB]]'s nifty new '''[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kg3b/ flickr account]''' created by so0s and growing exponentially in popularity.<br />
** The original five-minute [[booth]] -- the one made of styrofoam.<br />
** The original [[KGB]] [[buggy]] can be recreated from its original [[Legos]] courtesy of rm3t and so0s<br />
** Dan Lovinger still has a "Topple the Czar" figure, I think.<br />
** Somewhere, I (ee0r) may still have a FL0M B0MB.<br />
* There were showings of [[KGB: The Movie]] and its sequel(s).<br />
* Some accommodation were made for those defectors who (scary as this is) have small and infant children.<br />
* We played Kremlin.<br />
* There was a showing of [[sock puppets on fire]]<br />
