jab (Jason A Beardsley):
"Yes, well, of course, that's just the sort of blinkered
philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from you
non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome,
spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's
cuss about the struggling artist. You excrement! You
lousy hypocritical whining toadies with your lousy colour
TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding
masonic handshakes! You wouldn't let me join, would you,
you blackballing bastards! Well I wouldn't become a
freemason now if you went down on your lousy, stinking,
purulent knees and begged me!"
-- Monty Python

lavin (Anne R LaVin):
From an unnamed "friend" of mine, to my office mate:
"You might want to keep an eye on ARL, I have just discovered another
instance of the LAVIN effect. Basically, this is where Anne claims
perfectly good software is abusing her by dumping core. This effect
is only visible to Anne :-)"
I love computers.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
May I make my fond excuses
For the lateness of the hour?
But we accept your invitation
And would bring you Beltane's flower.
For the May Day is the great day.
Sung along the old straight track.
And those who ancient lines did ley
Will heed this song that calls them back.
Pass the word, pass the lady,
Pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom.
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Ask the Green Man where he comes from.
Ask the cup that fills with red.
Ask the old grey standing stones
Who show the sun his way to bed.
Question all as to their ways,
And learn the secrets that they hold.
Walk the lines of Nature's palm,
Crossed with silver and with gold.
Pass the cup and pass the lady.
Pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Join in black December's sadness
Lie in August's welcome corn.
Stir the cup that's ever filling
With the blood of all that's born.
But the May Day is the great day.
Sung along the old straight track.
And those who ancient lines did ley
Will heed this song that calls them back.
Pass the word and pass the lady.
Pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Pass the cup of crimson wonder.
"Cup of Wonder"

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are..
