amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
How do!
Welcome to my shop!
Let me cut your mop!
Let me shave your crop!
Daintily. Daintily.
Hey, you!
Don't look so perplexed!
Why must you be vexed?
Can't you see you're next?
Yes, you're next.
You're so next.
How about a nice, close shave?
Teach your whiskers to behave.
Lots of lather, lots of soap.
Please hold still -- don't be a dope!
Now we're ready for the scraping.
There's no use to try escaping,
Yell and scream and rant and rave,
It's no use -- you need a shave!
[Ooh! Ouch! Ouch! Ooh! Ouch! Ouch!]
There! You're nice and clean!
Although your face looks like it might have gone through a machine.
[Oh, wait'ww I get that wabbit!]
What would you want with a rabbit?
Can't you see that I'm much sweeter?
I'm your little senoriter!
You are my type of guy!
Let me straighten your tie,
And I shall dance for you.
<Music and slapstick.>
Nnnnnnext!

bjaspan (Barr3y Jaspan):
DEAR MISS MANNERS -- You have banned laptop computers from
restaurants, but does the ban apply if one is alone (at one's own table)
and there are few other customers? Does it apply if the restaurant has
no tablecloths, e.g., cafeterias, pizza houses, canteens in libraries,
fast-food outlets?
What about writing?
I get a lot of paperwork done if I take my computer to a cafeteria
and work for long stretches (during non-peak hours) while getting
numerous refills of the plate and cup.
Is the Miss Manners laptop ban based on the laptop being a party
pooper, or keeping a table for too long without just compensation, or
both?
GENTLE READER -- Miss Manners loves it when the possible applications
of a seemingly simple etiquette rule require that it be turned into a
full judicial opinion.
All right, here goes:
The ideas behind the laptop ban are first that one does not do
business in a place where others are engaged in the ritual of dining,
and second, that one does not ignore one's table companions. (Both rules
also apply to telephones and paperwork, but the first does not exclude
reading, which is not obviously business and makes no noise if you don't
turn the pages too roughly.)
Etiquette is really not concerned with the table turnover and so
leaves it to the individual establishment to decide whether it wants to
allow such lingering -- which might be considered picturesque and
hospitable during slow periods -- or doesn't want to, because it can
otherwise do more business. The polite person wouldn't even attempt to
keep a table when others are obviously waiting, but a restaurateur is
not impolite for inquiring whether the worker wants anything else or is
ready to leave.
So considering the requirements of etiquette and those of the
restaurant business, half-empty fast-food restaurants and other
convenience feeding stations would be the only places where lone diners
could use their laptops.

danob (Daniel T O'Brien):
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power
derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical
aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just
because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd
put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that,
eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me,
you saw it didn't you?

enigma (CDE):
When I was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder
With my back in the grass
My eyes to the sky to see
I believed in the stars
I knew they cast a spell that I was under
With my fingers in the dirt
I was part of the earth
Every living thing was part of me
Chorus:
But it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, gone
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
Must've found a way out my back door
Must've run away out the back door
Because it's gone, gone, gone
Then I fell in love
Love gave me a shot of pure desire
There was nothing else like this
This unimagined bliss this ecstasy
Deep inside the night
I believed I saw the light ignite a fire
And it burned into the dark
It burned deep inside my heart
I thought it would burn eternally
Chorus::
So I run into the street
And I'm shouting into the phone
Asking everyone I meet
I say have you seen it on my doorstep
Did you see it in my car
Have you seen it in the alley
Was it on the back of some guitar
Is it sleeping in the hallway
Does it cry all night alone
Is it selling itself for money
Does it want, does it want to come home
Then I saw the world
Wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk
With their mouths all white and pale
Telling all their tales reality
So I picked up a sign
And I found my place in line and I shouted no talk
But the men all painted pround
Their words empty and loud
Are trying hard to sell my dream
They tell me it's gone, gone
gone, gone
But I can feel it
Oh I want to feel it
I can't let it run away out my back door
If I look out there every day
"Out My Back Door"
Melissa Etheridge

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
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

therese (Therese):
We were friends who rode the waves
The time we spent in our younger days
Was all in fun,.. oh the good times that we had.
We were young and it was fine
To feel your spirit as it climbed
There're no regrets
Only good times
We were friends in younger days
Although we went our separate ways
You were my friend, you never turned away
Who can say what life will do
Life is kind to just a few
There're no regrets
Only good times
In time we will grow, we will change
As free as the wind and the waves
Live your life the way you choose
Find the ones who'll laugh with you
Like the sea
will find its way to shore
As the sun sinks from the sky,
Live your life and you will find
There're no regrets
Only good times ....
- Keola and Kapono Beamer
