celine (Who Drugged Thumper?):
The basic idea behind malls is that they are more convenient than
cities. Cities contain streets, which are dangerous and crowded and
difficult to park in. Malls, on the other hand, have parking lots,
which are also dangerous and crowded and difficult to park in, but --
here is the big difference -- in mall parking lots, THERE ARE NO RULES.
You're allowed to do anything. You can drive as fast as you want in any
direction you want. I was once driving in a mall parking lot when my
car was struck by a pickup truck being driven backward by a squat man
with a tattoo that said "Charlie" on his forearm, who got out and
explained to me, in great detail, why the accident was my fault, his
reasoning being that he was violent and muscular, whereas I was neither.
This kind of reasoning is legally valid in mall parking lots.
-- Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"

dpeisach (Daniel Peisach):
I'm woven in a fantasy. I can't believe the things I see.
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall.
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost.
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
All I am and all that I would ever want to be. It's just a travesty.
Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase.
To pass beyond is what I seek. I fear that I may be too weak.
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side.
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride.
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air.
Standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me. It's just a travesty.
Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me. I want to see.
(instrumental interlude)
Gold and diamonds cast a spell. It's not for me, I know it well.
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side.
There's more that I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find.
And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be.
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony.
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross. THERE IS NO LOSS.
The Wall

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
"The Civil Rights Act routinely has been interpreted to prohibit sexual
`harassment' of employees, but Judge Robert Bork of the US Court of
Appeals ... says that only such harassment by heterosexuals and
homosexuals is covered -- but not that by bisexual employers, who in
theory do not `discriminate' among their targets on the basis of
gender." --Chuck Shepherd, _View from the Ledge,_ 1985
