**************
* Chest Bump *
**************
We are proud to announce the first ever Next House ExecCom Budget 
meeting Chest Bump.  Manny and Ashesh took running leaps an each
other.  It was a smack heard around the world.

We talked about non-budget things while Don was writing up the numbers
one of things we decided was that
************************************************************
* YOU MUST HAVE A CHECK ON FILE TO USE THE POOL EQUIPTMENT *
************************************************************
This limitation is a direct result of our new 12-ball which features
the number 12 nicely carved into the side.  Checks should be given to
Victor Lum in rm 528, if you can find him.



and here we are, the moment we've all been waiting for <trumpets blare>

going to be outsourcing it.  Pepsi man is coming on Thursday, or so
Ashesh claims.


*************
* Overheard *
*************
Rich claims that the sign of good nachos is liquified chips.  Basically
they have some much stuff on them that the chips are flexible.
Ashesh disagrees.  Pat just continued to eat his nachos.


Kathy said, "ashesh, mac mac mac" 
Kathy then said, "I want a big mac"


John's rehearsed for Lip Sync: "just call me milk, I'll do your body good"

jolaw shows up late and declares: "what do I look like, anita's keeper?"
to which everyone responded, "yes"


jolaw trys to rally favor for a piano bench
there is a futile attempt by ashesh to assert power by gagging jolaw.
jolaw talks Manny into building one. Rich loves the idea of power
tools and beer.


apparently, Jolaw is 36-24-36 
she claimes that 36 is double her waist.   
Jolaw claims that she would have a hute butt 
"butt? I was still stuck on your 36 inch chest!" exclaims John
