ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
There is a time in the tides of men,
Which, taken at its flood, leads on to success.
On the other hand, don't count on it.
- T. K. Lawson

bhelf (Bill Helfinstine):
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight,
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
There's trouble with the maples,
And they're quit convinced they're right.
They say, "The oaks are just too lucky,
And they grab up all the light."
But the oaks can't help their feelings,
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled.
As the maples scream "Opression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads.
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy.
We will make them give us light!"
Now there's no more rogue opression,
For they passed a noble law.
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
"The Trees"
Geddy Lee
Alex Lifeson
Neil Peart

bierce (Jonathan C Bierce):
[I'll have to find a thought-provoking quote to put here.
In the meantime, here is something I saw on a shirt.]
Written over a picture of a Trident missile sub:
24 empty missile tubes;
Towering mushroom clouds;
It's Miller time!
Until Owen gets his act together:

fxzane (Francis X Zane):
What is courage now?
Is it just to go until we're done?
Men may call us heroes when they can say we've won -
But if we should fail, how then?
What is courage now?
Mountains to our side,
Standing like a wall against the sky,
Show no path to let us through, yet still we search and try.
Silver, snow, and stone, cold blue.
Mountains to our side.
River from the pines,
We can hear your echo far away.
To your banks our steps must lead. Help us on our way,
We who know you lend your speed.
River from the pines.
Star above the world,
Seeing down the ways that we must go.
Throw down light to guide a friend, or how else can we know
If there's hope where pathways end?
Star above the world.
What is courage now?
In the hope we know that holds us fast,
Bear us to the final door and win us free at last
Or we touch this world no more.
What is courage now?
"Fellowship Going South"

greifer (Allison Leigh Coates):
To survive in this mediocre existence long enough to wreak
havoc on the Fate that brought me here.
until which time I can escape my imprisonment here, to undermine
all doctrinal systems and gain knowledge of the collective unconsicous that
determines our fate.
Or perhaps, just writhe in the eternal flames of hell.
Share and Enjoy.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Time... something I don't have much of...
I Want to Tell You
------------------
Revolver
Beatles
I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words they seem to slip away
When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright
I'll make you maybe next time around
But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I fell hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever
I've got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever
I've got time
I've got time...
I've got time...

jefft (Jeff Tang):
From the Star Fleet Programmer's Style Guide:
(1) If your robot is programmed to destroy all imperfection, make sure it
excludes itself (the "Nomad" rule).
(2) Never allow calculation of the exact value of pi.
(3) Be sure your machines are programmed to ignore Three Stooges routines
(This is known as Harry Mudd's Law).
(4) Self-destruct routines are never carried through, so there is no need
to program them as anything more than a cosmetic shell. But be sure the
countdown always runs past 1, to the last millisecond before the ship
blows up, for dramatic values.
(5) Include standard protections against viruses, trojans, worms, and
the ghosts of 19th-Century serial killers.
(6) Women programmers are not allowed, as they *always* program the computer
to giggle and call the captain, "Honey." We have enough virility problems
because they make us wear tights and those silly boots and velour shirts.
We don't need this shit, too.

merlin (Michael J Richters):
Don't be preposterous! To think that someone like me would actually have
a plan! Hmmph! It serves you right for fingering me! So there!
HahahahahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Got you!
Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time!

Mark and anyone else who is willing to allow themselves to be
censored through the passive intimidation associated with fear of
realization of a worst case scenario involving imaginary net-foes,
fundamentalist assholes, bigots, uninformed jerks, or comic book bad
guys, should probably not go to sleep with their closet doors shut.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
"Behind Blue Eyes"

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
K{{nn|s er{{n amerikkalaisen koulupojan (ik{ 9 v.) aineesta nimelt{{n:
MIKSI AION TULLA ISONA?
-----------------------
Haluan tulla lent{j{ksi, kun olen kasvanut isoksi---koska se on
hauskaa hommaa ja helppoa. Sen takia on nykyisin niin paljon lent{ji{.
Lent{jien ei tarvitse k{yd{ paljon koulua, heid{n on vain opittava
lukemaan numeroita, jotta he osaisivat lukea mittareita. Luulen, ett{
heid{n pit{{ osata lukea my|s karttoja, niin ett{ he l|yt{v{t perille
jos ovat eksyksiss{.
Lent{jien on oltava rohkeita, niin etteiv{t he pel{sty, jos on
sumuista niin ettei voi n{hd{ tai jos siipi tai moottori putoaa pois,
heid{n on pysytt{v{ rauhallisina, jotta he tiet{isiv{t mit{ pit{{
tehd{.
Lent{jill{ pit{{ olla hyv{t silm{t, niin ett{ he n{kev{t pilvien l{pi,
eiv{tk{ he saa pel{t{ salamoita tai ukkosta, koska he ovat l{hemp{n{
niit{ kuin me.
Min{ pid{n my|s siit{ palkasta, jota lent{j{t saavat. He saavat
enemm{n rahaa kuin ehtiv{t kuluttaa. Se johtuu siit{, ett{ useimmat
ihmiset pit{v{t lent{mist{ vaarallisena, paitsi lent{j{t, jotka
tiet{v{t kuinka helppoa se on.
Ei siin{ ole paljon sellaista, mist{ en pit{isi, paitsi se, ett{ tyt|t
pit{v{t lent{jist{ ja kaikki lentoem{nn{t haluaisivat menn{ naimisiin
lent{jienkanssa, niin ett{ heid{n on aina ajettava ne pois jotteiv{t
ne olisi h{iri|ksi. Toivottavasti en tule ilmasairaaksi. Jos tulen
ilmasairaaksi ei minusta voi tulla lent{j{{ ja sitten minun pit{{
menn{ t|ihin.
