ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausage at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay the rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a litle now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple.
-Jenny Joseph

bjaspan (Barr3y Jaspan):
For the correct pronounciation of "Moira," consider asking a deranged
French person whom thinks he is the reincarnation of the Egyptian Sun
God his name. "Moi? Ra."

The Oracle is your friend. (In other words - now that we've got a
NEARnet connection from work, I'm reading altogether too much NitNews...)
Selected-By: nolan@helios.unl.edu (Harold the Foot)
The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:
> Oracle oh wise, I'm stressing real hard! Should I get a trip to Europe
> or a "nice" NeXT computer for graduation?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} My son, let us compare the two options systematically and the
} choice will become clear...
}
} NeXT Europe

WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THIS IN 1942?
On the bases of three cardboard figures in its second Indiana Jones
module, TSR has trademarked the term "Nazi."
