something to think about:
is carey lowell ("licensed to kill") a fabulous babe,
or what?
stoopid quote
"you know how we always wondered if she was either
putting on an act, or if she really was that stupid?
well, it turns out she's was putting on an act. but
underneath, she really is stupid, so it doesn't
matter..."
-- my old college roommate on a certain
bhoc (bubble-head on campus)

"i'm a silicone devil with a heart of gold,
when i was made, they broke the mold..."

rosencra (John Buck):
"It's like shouting in a matchbox
Made of plasterboard and hope,

In the arms of John the Pope."

sethf (Seth Finkelstein):
<continued from yesterday, due to the CA 10000 character limit>
And they all moved away from me on the bench there, with the hairy eyeball and
all kinds of mean, nasty things, till I said, "And creatin' a nuisance."
And they all came back, shook my hand and we had a great time on the bench
talkin' about crime, mother-stabbin', father-rapin', --all kinds of groovy
things that we was talkin' about on the bench, and everything was fine.
We was smokin' cigarettes and all kinds of things, until the sergeant came
over, had some paper in his hand, held it up and said:
"KIDTHISPIECEOFPAPERSGOTFORTYSEVENWORDSTHIRTYSEVENSENTENCESFIFTYEIGHT
WORDSWEWANTTOKNOWTHEDETAILSOFTHECRIMETHETIMEOFTHECRIMEANDANYOTHER
KINDOFTHINGYOUGOTOSAYPERTAININGTOANDABOUTTHECRIMEWEWANTTOKNOWTHE
ARRESTINGOFFICERSNAMEANDANYOTHERTHINGYOUGOTTOSAY--"
And he talked for forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said.
But we had fun fillin' out the forms and playin' with the pencils on the
bench there. I filled out the Massacre with the four-part harmony.
Wrote it down there just like it was and everything was fine. And I put down
my pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there--on the other side
--in the middle of the other side--
Away from everything else on the other side--in parenthese-capital letters--
quoted-read the following words: "Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?"
I went over to the sergeant. I said, "Sergeant, you got a lot of God-dammed
gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself! I mean--I mean-- that you send--
I'm sittin' here on the bench--
I mean I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench, 'cause you want to know if I'm
moral enought to join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after
bein' a litterbug."
He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind! We're gonna send your
fingerprints off to Washington." And, friends, somewhere in Washington,
enshrined in some folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints.
And the only reason I'm singin' you the song now is 'cause you may know
somebody in a similiar situation. Or YOU may be in a similiar situation, and
if you're in a situation like that, there's only one thing you can do:
Walk into the shrink whenever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink--
You can get anything you want at Alice's Resteraunt."
--and walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it, they may
think he's really sick and they won't take him.
And if two people do it--in harmony--they may thing they're both FAGGOTS and
they won't take either of them. And if THREE people do it! Can you imagine
three people walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Alice's Resteraunt" and walkin'
out? They might think it's an ORGANIZATION!
And can you im agine FIFTY people a day? I said FIFTY people a day--walkin' in
singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? Friends, they may think
it's a MOVEMENT, and that's what it is:
THE ALICE'S RESTERAUNT ANTI-MASSACRE MOVEMENT!--
and all you gotta do to join is to sing it the next time it comes around on the
guitar. With feelin':
You can get anything you want at Alice's Resteraunt, exceptin' Alice,
You can get anything you want at Alice's Resteraunt;
Walk right in, it's around the back, just a half a mile from the railroad
track;
You can get anything you want at Alice's Resteraunt.

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.
And he answered:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the salfsame well from which your laughter rises is
oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy
you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was
burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood
that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart, and it is only
that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall
see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your
delight.
Some of you say, ``Joy is greater than sorrow,'' and others
say, ``Nay, sorrow is the greater.''
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your
board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
- from THE PROPHET,
by Kahil Gibram
