capsalad (Dave Schulman):
Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
is also great
And would suffice.
-- that clown

celine (Robert Fullmer):
You want boring?
I was talking to myself one day, and I noticed I wasn't listening...
Want to try something mildly entertaining?
Try imagining the hit tune "Shout!" with the word "puke" substituted.
Well, I thought it was funny.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Two MIT students are piloting a plane, when they discover that they
must make an emergency landing. Luckily enough, there is a nearby
(unused) airstrip, so they decide to land there.
As they fly over it, one says, "that's an awfully short runway; I don't
know if we can land on it." The other points out that there's no
choice, so they have to try.
They bring the plane in as slowly as possible, touching wheels right at
the beginning of the runway, and immediately hit the brakes. The plane
slides to a halt with the front wheels hanging off the runway's end.
One student turns to the other and says, "We made it, but this is the
*SHORTEST* runway I've ever seen." The other says, "Yeah, but it must
be at least two miles *wide*."

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
I was very pleasantly surprised to talk this evening to a competent
airline reservation agent who was friendly, and offered relevant
information without me having to ask!

lmb (Leah M. Bateman):
To meet everyone in the whole wide world; to create lots of interesting
situations to get myself into so life won't be boring; to spread romance;
to promote the use of the semi-colon and convince everyone that commas
are almost always extraneous.
