aras (Sheldon Robinson):
Home:
I wanna go HOME,
take off this uniform and leave the show.
I'm waiting in this cell
'cause I have to know.
Have I been guilty all this time?
Home:
Hey you, out there in the cold
getting lonely getting old,
can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the isle
with itchy feet and fading smile,
can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the lives.
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
sitting naked by the phone,
will you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall
will you force someone to call
out, will you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone.
Open your heart, I'm coming HOME.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was to hide 'cause you can't see.
No matter how he tried he could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you! Out there on your own,
always doing what your told,
can you help me?
Hey you! Out there beyond the wall
breaking bottles in their halls
can you help me?
Hey you! Don't tell me to go HOME alone!
Together we stand, divided we fall...
Home:
HOME, HOME again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come HOME, cold and tired,
it's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away, across the field,
the tolling of the iron bell
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells.

_- -_- -_ My philosophy, more or less:
``
Q: Why are we here?
A: Because we can be here.
Q: Why can we be here?
A: Well, the laws of the Universe are just right to permit it.
Q: Why?
A: Well, you wouldn't be here to ask me that if they weren't.
Q: True. But I'm not really satisfied with that. How does God and Soul
come into it?
A: Well, God doesn't seem to have a hell of a lot to do with anything.
And as for the soul, well, people seem to like the idea, but there's
no reason to believe there is such a thing.
Q: So what's our purpose? On Earth, I mean, in the Universe?
A: Purpose? That never really enters into the picture. You're just
asking why we're here in another way. And the only reason is that
it is possible for us to be. Listen, if you mix up a whole bunch
of cow manure in a pot and let it sit there and simmer for five
billion years, you may be surprised to find an advanced civilization
has developed out of the cow manure. Moreover, the civilization is
no less grand for its humble origins. In fact, it is grander.
Q: I'm going to have to think about this.

lavin (Anne R LaVin):
From the OLC logs:
...
The problem is that xmath is not supported, and xmath.old is even more
unsupported. What is the problem that you're having? Perhaps you could
use the newer, also unsupported version, fmax.
...
so now we've got *levels* of unsupportedness. Sigh. :)

IT TAKES CONCENTRATION

for submarines will ignore enemy carrier fleets it may encounter.

therese (Therese):
One day in a nuclear age
they may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is
carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
