The New Intermania Theme...

Yarr intermaatjes! As a committee, we are always hyper aware of recent developments. As of late, the TU/e has seen its fair share of plundering, stealing, attacking and drinking (might not all be related). On top of that, we have seen the value of doing things the good old fashion way, as the internet is not always available. So, strike your sails with me to find out more about our new ways of doing (for the next half year or so). 

During the meeting where we were pitching our ideas for the new theme, I faithfully listened to the captain, as Arne liked to think of himself most of the time, speak about our plans for the next weeks. First of, he wondered if we were all going to be on board with his idea. Then there was about a hook (or was it a quirky one-liner?), and then he even showed powerpoint slides having to do with the redesign of our flag.. uh logo. To be fair, I didn’t understand most of that meeting as he had consumed too much rum that morning. 

At some point, I just had no clue what was going on anymore and just asked what the next theme for the Intermania was going to be. In response, he just gave me a treasure map. ‘X marks the spot’, he said, deep in thought and staring into the distance with a monocular. My knowing what the theme will be seems further than the end of the horizon.  

The more I stared at the map I had just been handed, the more confused I felt. It seemed like two pictures badly overlain, and I don’t think my brain can process that (@pt’ers some help please). I looked up trying to deeply stare into the unknown, unfortunately slammed my head against the roof, and then suddenly I knew! I forgot I have been wearing that darn eye-patch that we were forced to wear by Arne the whole time. When I looked back down at the map, it became clear to me that it was not a map, but a picture of captain Blackbeard. How could I have missed that!  

So, dear cabin boys and landlubbers, you now will for sure know what the next theme of the Intermania is going to be. I hope you like some sea shanties, because it is time for: Pirates & Pirating!
