aleonard (Annette Leonard):
wearing silly earrings and lots of accessories
readjusting to Boston after a happy trip to San Francisco Aug 23 - Sep 2
learning Accounting and how to write good on english pappers
trying not to think about the "w" word (winter) or, worse, the "c" word
playing with graphs and reports as Sales Analyst at Bay State
adding irridescent postcards to my walls at work
wasting time writing plan files when i should be going home to clean my
room (which was Hurricane Bob's primary target)

douzzer (Daniel Pouzzner):
I live in MacGregor. They have little thingies
on the windows in MacGregor that don't let you
open them all the way. Do you know why? Because
so many poor souls jumped out of them. It's true.
MIT wrecked them. Or something, at least, wrecked
them. I'd bet you ten bucks it was MIT.
I've been there before.
So why is it that,
now,
when I'm here I feel
just fine,
but when i'm THERE, i feel
like my brain is stuffed
full of cotton?
Don't worry, I do indeed feel just fine. Do you?

mingliu (Minghsun Liu):
"I feel as if I am a spider residing in the corner of a B747, incapable
of comprehending its destination and knowing the forces that built this
machinery."
"I think I am designed by a force I can not content with, living in a
world that really doesn't exist anymore. I believe in the basic law of
natural selection where those achieving the greatest reproductive
success are selected for, but I do not have any child. I also believe
hunting is one of the most crucial step in the evolution of Homo
sapiens, but I do not cosume any meat. We do not know how much things
are capable of changing, but at least we are sure that we can rise and
revolt. The evolution of life on earth does not tell us what is correct
and what is wrong or that we have to base living on the exercise of free
will."

HIS TOP IS MADE OUT OF RUBBER, HIS BOTTOM IS MADE OUT OF SPRINGS
In AD&D (TSR), the average 13th level fighter can survive a fall
from any height.

Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing.

yandros (Chad Phillip Brown):
chad: /chad/ n. 1. The perforated edge strips on printer paper, after
they have been separated from the printed portion. Also called
{selvage} and {perf}. 2. obs. The confetti-like paper bits punched
out of cards or paper tape; this was also called `chaff', `computer
confetti', and `keypunch droppings'.
Historical note: one correspondent believes `chad' (sense #2)
derives from the Chadless keypunch (named for its inventor), which
cut little u-shaped tabs in the card to make a hole when the tab
folded back, rather than punching out a circle/rectangle; it was
clear that if the `Chadless' keypunch didn't make them, then the
stuff that other keypunches made had to be `chad'.
