lroop, real name Lincoln Roop was a member of KGB from 2007 to 2012. Mostly known for being that tall guy who isn't [[aij|Ivan]], lroop is usually seen sporting a plaid button-up shirt, jeans, and green pen. Rumor has it he still lives in the Pittsburgh area and while he does make the occasional appearance at a KGB meeting or event, he can be found fairly regularly at the Saturday machine room hours of the CMU Computer Club.

In 2007, persons definitely not affiliated with the KGB kidnapped a small prospective freshman girl outside Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall. To this date it is uncertain what became of her, but it is widely believed that she may have in fact graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering.

Architect's Leap

2010-04-13T16:27:33Z

Lroop:

This stairwell in [[Wean]] goes from the third floor to the eighth, with a substantial amount of space open in the middle of the spiral. The length and unobscured nature of the drop have led to the appellation "Architect's Leap". The stairwell was previously marked by a poem that described its function:

If you're feeling like a jerk
'cause your project just won't work
Go ahead and take the leap
Then finally you'll get some sleep
Burma Shave

In reality however, the number of inanimate objects that make the leap dwarfs the number of those animate. The battered wreckage of any of a number of objects can be found at the bottom of the leap, with interesting examples including VAXen, an ice sculpture, paint, several gross of "superballs", an poorly functioning copy machine, and a garbage can full of sawdust.

It used to be that an large, unfettered tank of liquid nitrogen was helpfully placed in the 3400 corridor, right by the doorway of the bottom of the leap. (See [[Fruit of the Month Club]].)

In late 2009, the center shaft of this stairwell was enclosed with drywall after the tragic death of a Carnegie Mellon student.

Peter and the Wolf

2010-04-13T16:23:41Z

Lroop:

KGB's 1995 Booth was chaired by [[Amy McGovern]], but mostly designed by [[Eric Moore]] and [[Matt Andrews]]. The carnival theme that year was Cartoons, and we did Peter and the Wolf. The game was originally intended to be a laser -based auto scoring shoot the wolf type thing, but the electronics never got finished. So what ended up happening was that we used the laser and visually determined hits on the targets. We also went over time on building, and so ended up being disqualified from competition, even though we still finished and operated the booth.

Note: There is currently a large plywood wolf living in the [[Kage]]. There has been talk of disposing of said wolf, but so far no action has been taken. It has been suggested that those who were on booth committee that year be contacted?

Sea foam green

2010-02-19T00:14:40Z

Lroop: /* Update */

'''Sea foam green''' is the enduring legacy of [[Ed|Ed Ryan's]] reign as [[booth chair]]. Long after [[caulk]] fades into time immemorial and [[Committee for In the Future, Everyone Will Have His or Her Own Jcreed|personal jcreeds]] are just a glimmer in [[Tom Strong|Tom Strong's]] eye, [[KGB|KGB's]] reserves of sea foam green [[paint]] will remain plentiful as ever. Once used to paint [[the Winter Palace]], the quantities of the substance purchased were so plentiful that no matter the valiant efforts of KGB [[comrade|comrades]], no one is able to consume the last of it.

A little-known fact relating to the [[KGB]]'s sea foam green [[paint]] is that there are actually two slightly different shades stored in the [[Kage]]. There is a very good [[reason]] for this.

== Applications ==
* Painting [[The Fence|the fence]]
* Painting your [[booth]]
* Painting [[ASA]]'s booth
* Painting [[NASA Wood|NASA's wood]]
* Ensconcing the [[Treasurer]]
* Suffering

== Storage ==
KGB's sea foam green supply is housed in the [[Kage]].

== Safety ==
Sea foam green may cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, surjection, and pain. [[girls|Women]] and [[boys|men]] should not handle or make eye contact with sea foam green. If symptoms persist contact your doctor immediately.

== Update ==

As amazing and even impossible as it may sound, all of KGB's known sea foam green was finally used up when painting the fence for the second semester game of CTFWS in the 2007-2008 school year. There are rumors of certain KGB defectors wanting to sneak into the Cage to place more Sea foam green paint there, let it be known the punishment for this is death.

== Updated Update ==

We cleaned out the Kage on February 5, 2010. sshropsh took it upon herself to open and inspect our cans of paint, and discovered 2 more cans of sea foam green. Fortunately, one of the cans was bad, however there is one can of sea foam green lurking in the kage.
