amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
Aw, C'mon, Jay, surely the headline on that item was
Moishe Nick-Knock's a Door --
More Beam By Same Car
You want Purim jokes? Wait until the 20th.... :-)
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a plan! It's to cross a picket line and have dinner
in New York Saturday night for my birthday. (That's assuming,
of course, that Eastern starts earning their wings again.)
An intersting typo just made me realize that first comes the
birth, then the brith, but what happens then?
---------------------------------------------------------
You think *I'm* nerdly? My parents didn't send me a birthday
card -- they sent me a disk with the card on it.

brlewis (Bruce R Lewis):
Steinbach's Guideline for Systems Programming
Never test for an error condition you don't know how to
handle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
capsalad (Dave Schulman):
To rectify the misunderstanding between myself and those who
wish to reach within my head to feel my brain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
celine (Adam Weishaupt):
As he sat down on the meatloaf, the table seemed to be moving to the
left slightly. Even as he grabbed for the edge to steady himself, the
lightbulb exploded and the room went completely dark.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dkk (David K Krikorian):
The greatest achievement is to use one's finest professional talents to

dschmidt (Dfan Schmidt):
Two sweaters lying on each other, on the suitcase, exhausted from the
day's work, in each other's arms, it's just natural to them, no
tension or hidden feelings. The suitcase bears it stoically, but you
know he wishes he there were another suitcase he could share with, be
on equal terms, not lie or be lied upon. The laundry bag is nestled
up beside him but it's no use, they're just too different, the zipper
makes him uptight.
There's a brown streak on the ceiling. The clothes plead ignorance,
they say there's no way, I have an alibi, but the towel is smirking,
he's found that happy medium. Not folded, nor messy, he's draped over
the back of a chair. Looks like the perfect solution but you can see
the creases start to form, by the time he's forty he'll look like a
prune.
Books on a shelf, leaning on one another, less and less tilted, more
and more sturdy, until we reach the dictionary, completely vertical,
unemotional in its strength. It's proud of its job but tired
of it. It will never talk to the suitcase but you know it should.

rwdevlin (Russell W Devlin):
Become a sherpa in the mountains of Tibet and hunt yeti through revolutionary
affirmative action program for disadvantaged Norwegian youths.
Alternatively (but less likely), clear up my personal life, get a job,
and live happily ever after.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
tron (Andrew H Cytron):
5
Iram indeed is gone with all its Rose,
And Jamshyds Sev'n-ring'd Cup where no one knows;
But still the Vine her ancient Ruby yields,
And still a Garden by the Water blows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
Watching the great soap opera of life.
