amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
You know you're in trouble when a very short TeX file...
... takes 2 hours to run ...
... produces a 17 MEG .log file ...
Turns out I had left \tracingmacros=2\tracingcommands=2 in my
dblib file, and had 7200 iterations (mostly tail-recursion)
of my main loop.
Oops.
I *hate* it when that happens....
(Oh, John, I've freed up 17 Meg on priam.... :-)

lavin (Anne R LaVin):
If anybody has any suggestions for a method for eating an Au Bon Pain
almond croissant without getting a sticky, gooey mess all over oneself
and anything else in the immediate area, I'd like to hear it.
...on second thought, never mind. That may be the whole point...

rlcarr (Rich Carreiro):
With regard to George Bush, his plan to fuck the Constitution
over a piece of cloth, Dan Quayle, the Supreme Court, and the
1992 presidential election:
"I tip my hat to the new constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution.
Smile and grin
At the changes all around.
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday.
Then I get on my knees and pray:
WE DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!"
-- The Who
