danb (Daniel G Brown):
I closed my eyes,
Drew back the curtains,
To see for certain
What I thought I knew.
Far, far away,
Someone was weeping,
But the world lay sleeping.
Any dream will do.
I wore my coat
With golden lining;
Bright colors shining,
Wonderful and new.
And in the east
The dawn was breaking
But the world was still waking
Any dream will do.
A clash of drums
A flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight!
The colors faded into darkness,
I was left alone.
May I return
To the beginning.
The light is dimming,
And the dream is, too.
The world and I
We are still waiting,
Still hesitating.
Any dream will do.
Give me my colored coat.
My amazing, colored coat.
Give me my colored coat.
My amazing, colored coat!
---"Any Dream Will Do", Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, _Joseph and
the Amazing Technocolor Dreamcoat_

philo (like...beyond athena?):
" Je sortis du mur sans rien detacher, sans rien casser et je vins me
blottir dans ton corps chaud. Tu dormais et tu croyais que j'etais chose
evanouie dans le jardin de ton enfance, tu dormais et caraissais ton
sexe. Je me suis posee sur toi comme un voile et j'ai baise tes
mains. Tes doight s'ecartaient et s'enroulaient dans mes cheveux. Je
n'avais pas ferme la fenetre . Il faisait froid quelque part, je
voyageais sur ton corps qui s'ouvrait a mes caresses."

TRY USING A TRASH CAN LID
Metagaming's The Fantasy Trip system tells us that the largest
shield available can only stop three points of damage. This means that
someone armed with a sling stands a decent chance of penetrating the
shield and injuring the shield-user.

Well, if its *REAL* ones ya want, OK... This last fall, I was taking the
Comanche IFR from Corvallis, OR to San Jose via V23. Just as you get to
Scott's Valley in the Siskiyou mountains, Seattle center hands you over to
Oakland Center. At the MEA, communications are iffy at best until you
get closer to Red Bluff. So, after being advised by Seattle to contact
Oakland, I make the switch and hear
XXXX: "... Oakland center, would it be possible for us to get the Crater
Lake tour?".
(Crater Lake is a park located in south central Oregon; a dormant
vocano with very large, deep, clear water lake at ~10,000 MSL in
the crater.)
OAK: "XXXX stand by."
So I decide to wait until OAK services the request to report to OAK.
????: "Crater Lake is the worlds tallest, deepest, ....".
Somebody starts in with a long rambling tour guide speech describing
Crater Lake, the park service, recent activities, .... Chuckling to
myself, I figure the co-pilot of XXXX has confused center frequency
and the intercomm (remniscent of my favorite Far Side cartoon). This
guy never takes his finger off the key; he talks for several minutes.
Finally, being IFR and not having made my contact with center, I start
to get a little nervous about who I might run into at IFR altitudes
and without being in contact with center. So I switch back to Seattle
center and advise them that I can't get ahold of OAK. Says I "Somebody
confused the intercomm with center frequency and with all the tour
services, I can't get a word in edgewise.". Seattle then tells me
that I'm hearing "the Crater Lake Tour" and that's OAK delivering the
travelogue. He tells me there is no traffic in my immediate area and
to switch back... "He'll be done in a few minutes. Its a standard
service OAK center provides. It allows the pilot to concentrate on
flying while OAK entertains the passengers.".
Live and learn.
