Welcome back my friends, to the Hell that never ends.
Can't believe you'd still attend.
Run away! Run away!
Beyond the Fishbowl glass sit some nerds flaming a class.
Be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!
Get away, the term's about to start.
Guaranteed to blow your head apart.
At the 'Tute, won't get your money's worth.
Biggest screw in Heaven, Hell, or Earth!
You gotta punt the Dome! Better get right home!
You gotta punt the Dome! It's a fire hose!
Oh, right before your eyes, a Lisp hacker makes AI's.
And he tools until he cries,
Then he dies, then he dies.
Get away, the term's about to start.
Guaranteed to blow your head apart!
You gotta punt the Dome! Better get right home!
You gotta punt the Dome! It's a fire hose!
[musical interlude]
Soon R/O will seem, in a daze or in a dream,
To be a quite surreal scene.
What's it mean? What's it mean?
A curse upon the man who did not create a ban
On ARA's wretched viand.
It's so bland! It's so bland!
Throw up! Throw up! Throw up! Gotta go!
Right near the big slide rule, we've a sight just for a tool,
It's our very own Cray-2.
Keep it cool! Keep it cool!
We'd like it to be known if the horrors that were shown
Chilled you to the very bone.
To the bone, to the bone.
Quickly punt the Dome!
Quickly punt the Dome!
Quickly punt the Dome!
[musical interlude]
Punt the Dome!

tron (Andrew H Cytron):
The search for the Truth is in one way hard and in another easy - for
it is evident that no one of us can ever master it fully, nor miss it
wholly. Each one of us adds a little to our knowledge of nature and
from these facts assembled arises a certain grandeur.
Aristotle

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
``They said it again: `She's burning the candle at both ends.' `More
fire to her,' I said. `But Hugh, she's not going to last long at this
rate.' That shut me up. I certainly wouldn't want to be heard
calling for her early demise. However, the subject shouldn't have
ended there. True, she may not last long, but is lasting long the
most one can hope for? She's burning at both ends, but aren't we all?
Our mind and muscle smolder even while we sit clucking at her wild
thrashings. She at least feels something. What is the virtue in
being a piece of kindling, one curled shaving of fury? When it's all
over, when nothing remains but to pull up the sheet, what will we have
to say: `I outlived my friends by 7.4 years?' ''
