celine (Robert Fullmer):
"There are three possibilities: Pioneer's solar panel has turned away
from the sun; there's a large meteor blocking transmission; or someone
loaded Star Trek 3.2 into our video processor."

Thus spoke Zippy:

When I met th'POPE back in '58, I scrubbed him with a MILD SOAP
or DETERGENT for 15 minutes. He seemed to enjoy it..

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

jmh (J Michael Hammond):
I will be in Boston for the Generic Assassin Game, and a little
while after - approximately 10-19 April 1990.
If you want to get in touch with me, either leave a message here,
or wander around the MIT campus (follow any Assassins' Guild
clues you might run across).

Eve: "Try some of this nice fleshy fruit."
Adam: "No, we'd really better not."
Eve: "Aw, come on, try some of it."
Adam: "Well, OK."
(Adam eats.)
Adam: "I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!"
God: "You're outta here."

paul (Paul Boutin):
I think it's time to get the San Jose want ads
(translation: the Coke machine is *still* out).

wchuang (Mithrandir):
Throughout the Third Age the guardianship of the Three Rings was
known only to those who possessed them. But at the end it became known
that they had been held at first by the three greatest of the Eldar:
Gil-galad, Galadriel and Cirdan. The ring of Gil-galad was given by him
to Elrond; but Cirdan surrendered his to Mithrandir. For Cirdan saw
farther and deeper than any other in Middle-earth, and he welcomed
Mithrandir at the Grey Havens, knowing whence he came and whither he
would return.
`Take this ring, Master,' he said, `for your labours will be
heavy; but it will support you in the weariness that you have taken upon
yourself. For this is the Ring of Fire, and with it you may rekindle
hearts in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my heart is with the
Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I
will await you.'
