jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Both of them knew -- in a way, it was never out of their minds -- that
what was now happening could not last long. There were times when the
fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lay on, and
they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a
damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is
within five minutes of striking. But there were also times when they had
the illusion not only of safety but of permanence. So long as they were
actually in this room, they both felt, no harm could come to them.
Getting there was difficult and dangerous, but the room itself was
sanctuary.
--from _1984_ by George Orwell

========================================================================
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To speak of many things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings."
Plan? Plan? Who needs plans? I don't have no stinking plan....

Tech is Hell.
THIS LIFE IS A TEST. IT IS ONLY A TEST. HAD THIS BEEN
A REAL LIFE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS ON
WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
I'm free....
Finally rm'd my .meetings.....
so if you want to flame me for whatever reason, it'll have to
be zephyr or email....
Have a nice day!
(obligatory song of the day)
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"

|I|'ve always found the names of condoms rather distressing. They
`-' tend to imply some kind of power (Sheiks), or some kind of con-
quering (Trojans, Rameses). And now we have one named after
a device designed to drop nuclear bombs on people [the Stealth
Condom]. None of these suggest a good time in bed to me.
.-.
|I|'m especially intrigued by the name "Trojans." After all,
`-' their namesakes are reputed to have hidden in a deceptive
safe-looking covering, only to burst out and spill all
over the place once they've charmed their ways inside.
Condoms named after bombers have similar connotations.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
One day in a nuclear age
they may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is
carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
