cheshire (Mary Vogt):
Watch out! You might get what you're after
Ooh baby, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy -
Burning down the house
Hold tight - wait till the party's over
Hold tight - we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Close enough but not too far and maybe you know where you are...
Burning down the house!!!
-Talking Heads

cpc (Christopher P. Colby):
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich -- yes, richer than a king --
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought he was everything
To make us wish we were in his place.
So on we walked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
- Edwin Arlington Robinson

The Slinky rule: Never buy more than one slinky because they

paul (Paul Boutin):
One student to another talking about employment prospects, uncertainly:
"Well, I'm kind of hoping to find something where I can get away with
50 hours a week max, and Saturday and Sunday off."

rosencra (John R Buck):
