dachurch (Douglas A. Church):
Severance
the birds of leaving call to us
yet here we stand
endowed with the fer of flight
Overland
the winds of change consume the land
while we remain
in the shadows of summers now past
when all the leaves
have fallen and turned to dust
will we remain
entrenched within our ways
Indifference
the plague the moves throughout this land
omen signs
in the shape of things to come
- "Severance", Dead Can Dance, _The Serpant's Egg_

I will, however, be returning to the halls of MIT on January 8th just in
time to catch LSC's showing of "Murder-by-Death." It's a GREAT movie
and I hope to see all of you there! If not, then have a wonderful and
restfull vacation!!!

Meanwhile, (for entertaining value only) here's a song that I wrote for
the Piarates of Penzanze cast party. For those who can recognize it,
it's a variation on Ruth's song in the openning of Act I. Enjoy!
When Frederic was a little lad,
he proved so dull and boring
His father thought "get him out of the house.
find him work that takes him touring."
I was, alas, his nursery maid
and so it fell to my whim
To take this boy to the railway yards
to an engineer I should bind him
A life not bad for a simple lad,
who'll surely be a lame-man.
Though I'm no nurse, you might do worse,
than make your boy a train-man!
I was a stupid nurs-ry maid,
and full of crazed delusions.
I more than once botched assignments gave
thus causing great confusion.
Mistaking my instructions which
because I'm hard of hearing,
I took and applied this slovenly boy
for the school of engineering!
A dumb mistake it was to make
him doomed to constant jeering.
Which he wouldn't have found, had he not been bound
to the school of engineering!

paul (Paul Boutin):
(I hope these aren't too offensive. Perhaps they should be rotated.)
(1) A person belonging to an ethnic group whose members are commonly
considered to have certain stereotypical mannerisms met another
person belonging to a different ethnic group with a different set
of imputed stereotypical mannerisms. The first person acted in
a manner consistent with the stereotypes associated with his ethnic
group, and proceeded to make a remark which might be considered
to establish conclusively his membership in that group, whereupon his
companion proceeded to make a remark with a double meaning, the first
meaning of which could be interpreted to indicate his agreement with
his companion, but the other meaning of which serves to corroborate his
membership in his particular ethnic group. The first person took
offense at his remark, and reacted in a stereotypical way!
(2) Q: How many people belonging to a certain ethnic group does it take
to perform a particular menial activity?
A: A finite positive integer. One to perform the activity, and the
rest to behave in a manner stereotypical of their ethnic group!
