The pun o' the day is:
Old monarchs never die - they're just throne away.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
I'm back in town.
Bet you didn't know I was gone, eh?

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
Come into these arms again
And lay your body down.
Th'rhythm of the trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.
It beats for you; it bleeds for you;
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the Drum of drums;
It is the Song of songs.
Once I had the rarest rose
That ever daned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud
That stole my flower too soon.
Oh loneliness! Oh hopelessness!
To search the ends of time.
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.
Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of Heav'n is laid
With stars of brightest gold.
They shine for you; they shine for you;
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.
"Love Song for a Vampire"
Annie Lenox
"Bram Stoker's Dracula"

I'm back. Go read the most recent National Geographic
if you like dinosaurs.
My preliminary IAP schedule (sans 20hr/wk 6.270 lab,
and maybe other stuff) is in ~/PostScript/scheduler.ps.

tiuzzol (Terri Iuzzolino):
Need to get ahold of me?
(505)-296-7005 or (505)-299-7501.
I'll read email regularly while I'm gone.
"Stolen a room?"
"That's the only way I can describe it."
"You see sir, in my experience, people don't usually steal rooms very much.
They may steal from rooms, but steal the rooms themselves very rarely. In
fact I think 'never' is probably the word I'm looking for here sir. I
mean where's the advantage in it? Not much of a black market in rooms.
Is there? Wouldn't get much for it.
Shada, Doctor Who IV
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tegan: I want to get off the ship. I don't want to be rescued.
Adric: Well, make up your mind.
-------------
Adric: They must be lying or mad. Three billion people on one ship? It'd
never get off the ground.
Tegan: Of course they're mad. 100 generations on this thing, they've got to
be mad.
Doctor: She didn't talk of people, she talked of population.
Adric: Comes to the same thing.
Doctor: Sloppy thinking Adric. Do you know there are at least billion bacteria
in this chamber alone? And if a frog with a funny hairdo can turn itself
into a semblance of a human being in a matter of minutes, there isn't much
of a limit to what it can't do.
....
Doctor: I mean here we are, four days from earth on a spaceship with three
billion and three frogs. And four earthlings. Why?
....
Doctor: I'm saying that the urbankans have visited earth four times, and
taken at least one cultural representative. And this time they're coming
for good. Well, I say good... Three billion earthlings plus three billion
urbankans? I really don't think so. I really don't think so at all.

Controller: And you really believe that Victor Foxtrot flew into a time warp?
Doctor: Exactly, and we can't have a navigational hazard like that hanging
about the galaxy.
-------------
Doctor in response to the cramped storage area on the Concord:
"It's amazing. This thing is smaller on the inside than it is on the outside."
-------------
Tegan: If the Doctor gives the Master a bit of the Tardis, how are we
getting back?
Nyssa: We must be giving him a redundant circuit. You know how the
Doctor collects spare parts.
-------------
Captain: The Doctor was absolutely right. We've been away for 140 million
years.
First officer: What about the overtime?
Controller: You were only missing for 24 hours. And what about Victor Foxtrot?
Flight Engineer: Victor Foxtrot was never really lost.
Controller: What?
First Officer: Should be on the other side of the sewage farm.
Flight Engineer: ' must have been beside the citadel for 140 million years.
Captain: You'll just have to dig it up.
Time-Flight, Doctor Who V
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nyssa and the Doctor have been effecting repairs to the Tardis viewscreen
which is showing empty space. The Doctor flips a switch, "Perfect."
Nyssa: We have an audio system. But nothing to listen to.
The Doctor, turning off the viewscreen: And now we have nothing to look at.
Couldn't be better. Peace and quiet is just what the Doctor ordered.
