jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take those broken wings and learn to fly
All your life/You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life/You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly/Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly/Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night/Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life/You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
(The Beatles)

Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the

News item
NEW YORK -- During a creative session at a major public relations firm today
to formulate a new corporate message for Digital Equipment Corporation that
reflects the company's new direction promoting and supporting computing
industry standards, the shopworn phrase "Digital has it now." was replaced by anew tag line that is more contemporary and tied to DEC's adherence to
standards. "Digital's hip to the standards thing." will become the $11.5
billion company's new-image slogan. In a radical departure from it's
traditionally staid advertising approach the company will produce a television
advertisement built around a rap music theme played out in a rapidly changing
sequence of office and engineering scenes. In a parody of the commonly used
product nomenclature, the video itself is referred to as a mythical Digital
product called DECrap. The lyrics to the rap music video are published here
for the first time.
A DECrap by
Rapmaster Ken
"Digital's Hip to the Standards Thing"
I heard some news just the other day
It sounded kinda strange and I said, "No way!"
But I heard it again from another source
It mighta made sense and I said, "Of course!"
Now computer biz has a lotta confusion
'Cause operating systems abound in profusion.
But there's a whole new wave in data processing
Now that Digital's hip to the standards thing.
(chorus)
Digital's hip to the standards thing!
Digital's hip to the standards thing!
Way back when a long time ago
IBM owned the whole show.
But other dudes saw this proprietary mess
And formed committees to find out what's best.
Some went their own way and built their own software
But users were perturbed, "It's just a different nightmare."
So they got together to look over the picks
Put their down their money on good 'ol UNIX
(chorus)
Digital's hip to the standards thing!
Digital's hip to the standards thing!
Now Digital always kept their users in mind
And pushed VMS as the best of the kind.
A lotta folks agreed but kept askin' for
UNIX support, "We gotta have more!"
Soon DEC saw the light and decided to give
UNIX to the masses, (sorta live and let live).
So DEC's ridin' the wave ahead of the rest
On a backplane bogie board on top of the crest.
No doubt about it DEC's sprouted its wings
'Cause Digital's hip to the standards thing.
(chorus)
Digital's hip to the standards thing!
Digital's hip to the standards thing!

There's a wonderful thing about Tiggers,
A Tigger's a wonderful thing.
Their tops are made out of rubber.
Their bottoms are made out of spring.
They're bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
The most wonderful, wonderful thing about
Tiggers is I'm the only one.
I'm... the only one! Grrr...
