At long last the hopes and dreams of the sophistic segment of the St. John's polity have become reality. The Tuesday Nite "Fites" woke up from its long hibernation, rubbed its eyes, and (failing to see its own shadow) declared that the questioning minds and keen intellects of our community could not have another six months of mental winter. The ( Read more... )

I don't even know how to begin to write this document, let alone use it as a necessary forum to convey the grave news that has reached home. Even the uninvolved reader of this journal could deduce that something has been amiss recently among the TNF institution and its archons, so I don't think this announcement can possibly be construed as a total ( Read more... )

Another bleak war room, less interesting due to intense fatigue. Also, the internet was broken over here, so I apologize to the absentees who had to miss a week. Without ado, Title "Fite" in caps, winners in bold, scores in parenthesis.

We all had melancholy junior-year moods in the War Room tonite, and it did not look pretty. But alas, these turned out to be incredible Fites, and just when I was losing faith in the TNF dialectic. Xtra Large indeed they were, and without ado here they are, Title in caps, winners in bold, scores in parenthesis.

In a sense, this is the week I've been waiting for since we started labelling these things with Roman Numerals. 38 is my lucky number, and this proved to be a very successful nite of Fiting, it seems both on-site and off (I read some of the chat transcript). The War Room Council included a misguided and hilarious story told by Max Kronberg in which ( Read more... )

On Take #37, the War Room continued our recent retro tendency to include easily laughable "Fites" with very penetrating conceptual significance. While the selection of these particular bouts may have also been shaped by Leibniz, I am glad to see TNF reminding me of the days of old; the days before the War Room Council. It was another rainy nite in ( Read more... )

The 36th stab at this whole thing was a very enthusiastic nite of Fiting that had most engaged for the entire three hours, and consequently fucked in tersm of schoolwork. But, this is what the Fites are all about. I think that a very empassioned War Room Council debate just naturally slid its way into the Nelson Room, as it should. The War Room ( Read more... )
