alindsay (Adam Taro Lindsay):
That is the way it is because it is that way
It is that way in that it is the way it is
In the way that it is that way that is the way it is
In the way that that is the way that is the way it is that is it is the way
Or, that it is that way is the way it is
The way it is that is the way it is
In that it is the way that it is is because it is that way
Or that it is the way that it is is the way that it is that
That is the way that it is the way that it is is the way that it is that way
I may not have enough of me but I've had enough of you
-Joanna Walton "I May Not Have Enough Of Me But I've Had Enough Of You"

Apple Computer Corporation, developers of Balloon Help, and IBM,
inventors of RISC and developers of the POWER line of advanced
computing solutions, made history when they announced the original
components of their historic agreements. Today, with all the fanfare
of their original announcement, comes a new "first" in computing
technology:
Help! Hot Air Balloon in the Power Line.
Combining that drifting, unsupported feeling so characteristic of
Apple products, with the sense of impending doom so familiar to IBM
users, Help! Hot Air Balloon in the Power Line faithfully recreates
on your computer that feeling known by incompetent balloonists
everywhere shortly before they fry. Watch in fear as your
applications drift closer and closer to the inevitable snare. Since
Apple has never offered preemptive multitasking, you'll be just like
a hapless balloonist---unable to do a thing as you watch the wires
come closer and closer. And thanks to IBM's compiler technology and
sheer native speed of silicon, you'll be moving fast. So click on
help, shout, wave your arms, try to start the burners, throw ballast
from the basket---you can try all the things that real balloonists do
as they prepare to meet their maker. Plus, if the Apple/IBM talks
with Warner Communications pan out, after you lose your data you'll
see the cheerful face of Porky Pig and an informative balloon saying,
"Th-th-that's all, folks!"
Disclaimer: Apple, IBM, Balloon Help, POWER, Warner, and probably
even Porky Pig are trademarks of their respective owners.

marthag (Martha H Greenberg):
Where I am, it's cold and it's dark and it's frightening.
And this world is so dangerous.
You're naked in the rain. Everything's been taken away...all the
security and the warmth and the shelter...
....and you'll try any refuge.
Any refuge at all.
You see, you're lost. All the world you understood has gone and
everywhere looks sinister and different.
You're fumbling in the dark...
...and then you make contact. Contact of a sort.
...and it might not be pleasant, and you might be replused and draw back
from it, no, not that, anything but @i(that)...
...but really, where else can you go? What other choices do you have?
Except carrying on. Down into the dark.
Alone
Completely and utterly alone.
---from "V for Vendetta"

"Clinton wants us to sacrifice - We should start with the politicians.
Which do you recommend - burning at the stake, an altar & knife job, or the
tried-and-true 'Plug the Volcano' method?"
"The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can
bribe the people with their own money." Alexis de Tocqueville
"25 States allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with
no permit of any kind: some say it's crazy. However, 4 out of 5 US murders are
committed in the other half of the country: so who is crazy?" - Andrew Ford
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating
the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for
independence." -- C. A. Beard
I have always been made sad when I have heard members of any race claiming
rights and privileges, or certain badges of distinction, on the ground
simply that they were members of this or that race, regardless of their own
individual worth or attainments. --Booker T. Washington
(1) Ignorance of your profession is best concealed by solemnity and silence,
which pass for profound knowledge upon the generality of mankind.
-------"Advice to Officers of the British Army", 1783
Two things I'd like to see: more liberals who know why we need the NRA, and
more conservatives who know why we need the ACLU.
