celine (Robert Fullmer):
Well, my terminal's locked up, and I ain't got any Mail,
And I can't recall the last time that my program didn't fail;
I've got stacks in my structs, I've got arrays in my queues,
I've got the : Segmentation violation -- Core dumped blues.
If you think that it's nice that you get what you C,
Then go : illogical statement with your whole family,
'Cause the Supreme Court ain't the only place with : Bus error views.
I've got the : Segmentation violation -- Core dumped blues.
On a PDP-11, life should be a breeze,
But with VAXen in the house even magnetic tapes would freeze.
Now you might think that unlike VAXen I'd know who I abuse,
I've got the : Segmentation violation -- Core dumped blues.
-- Core Dumped Blues

I'm sitting on my SPEED QUEEN.. To me, it's ENJOYABLE..
I'm WARM.. I'm VIBRATORY..
Well, here I am in AMERICA.. I LIKE it. I HATE it.
I LIKE it. I HATE it. I LIKE it. I HATE it. I LIKE it.
I HATE it. I LIKE.. EMOTIONS are SWEEPING over me!!
When you said ``HEAVILY FORESTED'' it reminded me of an overdue
CLEANING BILL.. Don't you SEE? O'Grogan SWALLOWED a VALUABLE
COIN COLLECTION and HAD to murder the ONLY MAN who KNEW!!
Now my EMOTIONAL RESOURCES are heavily committed to 23% of the
SMELTING and REFINING industry of the state of NEVADA!!

Read it and weep!

eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
"WellTris - The Soviet Challenge Continues"
- it looks like a cross between tetris and Tempest... you are looking
down a "well", a square hole with grid for walls, with perspective; it isn't
clear if you are at the bottom with them falling at you or at the top looking
down. It does add the possibility of "wraparound" that normal tetris doesn't
have...

montreal (It's just Toby):
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and
how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the
graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life -- learn some and think some and draw and
paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold
hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little in the Styrofoam cup:
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or
why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed
in the Styrofoam cup -- they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word
you learned -- the biggest word of all -- LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden
Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality
and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into
sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your
work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and
firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole
world -- had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and
then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had
as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and
to clean their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go
out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
-- Robert Fulghum --
