celine (Robert Fullmer):
This plan is only a pointer.
That is, there is no memory allocated for it.
Try:

dpeisach (Daniel Peisach):
Standing there alone, the ship is waiting.
All systems are go. Are you sure?
Control is not convinced, but the computer
has the evidence no need to abort.
The countdown starts...
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance. All is working.
Trying to relax, up in the capsule.
"Send me up a drink." jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...
four...three...two...one...
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
Floating weightless. Calling, calling...
Second stage is cut. We're now in orbit.
Stabilizers out, running perfect.
Starting to collect requested data.
"What will it affect, when all is done?"
thinks Major Tom.
Back at ground control, there is a problem.
"Go to rockets full." "Not responding!"
"Hello Major Tom. Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on. We're standing by."
There's no reply...
four...three...two...one...
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
Floating weightless. Calling, calling...
Across the stratosphere, a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning.
They don't realize he's alive.
Noone understands, what Major Tom sees.
"Now the life commence. This is my home.
I'm coming home..."
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
Floating weightless. Coming home.
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
Floating weightless. Coming, coming home....home....home....home....

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Well there ain't no point in moving on / Until you've got somewhere to go
And the road that I have walked upon / Well it filled my pockets
And emptied out my soul
All those insecurities / That have held me down for so long
I can't say that I've found a cure for these / But at least I know them
So they're not so strong

Sung to the tune of the Stones' "Mother's Little Helper":
What a drag it is gettin oil....
It's so different today, I hear every leader say,
Getting petrol for your tanks is just a drag,
So we'll kick your butt, Saddam, and we'll drop ten thousand bombs,
You'll go runnin' for a shelter from your little U.N. helper,
We're to help you on your way, show you how to leave Kuwait.
You had better leave at once, and go watch your camels hump,
Yeah, you should have stuck with picking on Iran,
Now it's much worse than you planned, and we'll pound you in the sand,
You'll go runnin' for a shelter from your little U.N. helper,
Just to help you on your way, show you how to leave Kuwait.
Things are different these days, I hear one Iraqi say,
Getting liquor and my playboys is too tough,
Well I like this Saddam guy, and I gave his war a try,
Now we're runnin' for the shelter from our little U.N. helper,
Well we only meant to play, and we did not mean to stay.
Things are difficult these days, I hear all the Mideast say,
Having Scuds land on your head is such a bore,
Palestine was occupied, and it tortured on my mind,
Now we're runnin' for the shelter from our little Hitler helper,
Got a gas mask on real tight, get me through my busy night.
Saddam please, no more of these,
During the war, he launched four more,
What a drag it is dumping oil.
Things are different these days, I hear Saddam Hussein say,
Taking over other countries is a drag,
You could annex that Kuwait, but you'll earn the world's hate,
Now I'm runnin' for the shelter from my little U.S. helper,
Got to think about my plight, get me through my busy dying night.
What a drag it is stealin' oil....

The above can be used however you want. If you do a stand-up act
with it or write a better version, I'd like to hear.

If our leader is Georgie Bush, is the Iraqi leader Saddamy Hussein?

The above is a demented raving of Andy Russo. This does not represent
the official opinions of AT&T. They are being written to the tune of
"Paint It Black." Conserve energy - don't flame my meter :-)

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
U.C. Davis graduate student Anne Perkins on her study of
sexuality in sheep:
"It is very difficult to look at the possibility of lesbian
sheep because if you are a female sheep, what you do to
solicit sex is to stand still. Maybe there is a female
sheep out there really wanting another female, but there's
just no way for us to know it."

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
or snack lunch in the hall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.
You're so sadly neglected,
And so often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all...
- Monty Python
