Bogus thought (from clari.news.issues 877):
Talking about a creche about which people protested:
> The Indiana Vocation Technical College student said she had added a
>Christmas tree to the nativity scene to add a secular element, but it
>apparently wasn't enough.
WHEN ARE THESE ASSHOLES GOING TO FIGURE OUT THAT A CHRISTMAS TREE IS
NOT "SECULAR?!"
Argh.

"...Curiously, despite reports in the tabloids of Elvis being sighted
everywhere from a 7-Eleven in Iowa to the face on the moon, no one
appears to have spotted him at home. Must be those long lines to get
in...Elvis never liked to wait."
--Walter Scott's Personality Parade

sethf (Seth Finkelstein):
DETERIORATA
Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice -- even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss -- and when.
Remember that two wrongs never make a right,
But that three lefts do.
Wherever possible, put people on `HOLD'.
A walk in the oceans of most souls
would scarcely get your feet wet.
Don't let the sands of time get in your lunch.
Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.
You are a fluke of the universe ...
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not, the universe
Is laughing behind your back.
-- National Lampoon

starflt (Derrick Kong):
A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME...
Not only is Lou Zocchi immortalized as a river in Avalon Hill's
Blitzkrieg, he often appears as a monster in Flying Buffalo's
computerized T&T dungeons....
from Murphy's Rules

therese (Therese):
Despair is the absolute extreme of self-love. it is reached when
a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else
in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost.
...But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble
man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity.
- Thomas Merton
