alois (Marc A Sommer):
I'm a 4th year graduate student working on vision and eye
movements with Dr. Peter Schiller in the Department of Brain
and Cognitive Sciences here at MIT.
My fellowship does not pay for witty finger plans or other
such non-productive pursuits. Neither does yours. Get back to
work.
Reach me at my lab, E25-634
253-5792
or my office, E25-601
253-5751
or my home, (617) 628-4793
I wish you thin dura, strong electrodes, and fair
journal editors!

ckclark (Calvin Clark):
. . . Oh, youth, youth! You don't care for anything, you seem to own
all the treasures of the world; even sorrow amuses you, even grief
becomes you; you are self-confident and insolent; you say, ``I alone am
alive---look at me!''---even while your days pass away and vanish
without trace and without number, and everything in you melts away like
wax in the sun, like snow. . . . And perhaps the whole secret of your
charm lies not in your ability to do everything, but in your ability to
think that you will do everything---lies just in the way you are
scattering to the winds the powers which you could never have used for
anything else---in the fact that each of us seriously considers himself
to have been a spendthrift, seriously believes that he has a right to
say, ``Oh, what could I not have done if I had not wasted my time.''
-Ivan Turgenev, ``First Love''

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
Ah, I'm almost happy.
For an incomplete glimpse of my schedule, take a look at
~/PostScript/scheduler.ps or my .tc file (using xcal from
the calendar locker). Let me know if you want to go sailing
once I remember how. :^)
I'm currently living at:
26 Fairmont Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 497-2189, but if you think I'll ever be there to answer
the telephone, guess again.
I'm mostly moved in (read "my stereo is hooked up").
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights.
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair,
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care...
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day,
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain,
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane.
I've seen desperation explode into flames
and I don't wanna see it again...
- "Telegraph Road", Dire Straits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you recall the day, I first came your way
And I had to know you
When you stepped in the way
And I smiled at you
Though I never meant to?
Hadn't thought about it
For a long, long time
But still she's here inside me
Never off my mind.
I try to hide it from you, but you know
And I hear it over and over again.
You can talk about tomorrow.
All your talkin' doesn't mean a thing.
All our yesterdays are sorrow.
Can't stop remembering.
I hear it over and over again.
I hear it over and over and over and over again.
- "Over and Over Again", Smithereens

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
WHAT THEY LEARN IN SCHOOL
In the schools now, they want them to know all about marijuana, crack,
heroin, and amphetamines,
Because then they won't be interested in marijuana, crack, heroin, and
amphetamines,
But they don't want to tell them anything about sex because if the
schools tell them about sex, then they will be interested in sex,
But if the schools don't tell them anything about sex,
Then they will have high morals, and no one will get pregnant, and
everything will be all right,
And they do want them to know a lot about computers so they will
outcompete the Japanese,
But they don't want them to know anything about real science because
then they will lose their faith and become secular humanists,
And they do want them to know all about this great land of ours so they
will be patriotic,
But they don't want them to learn about the tragedy and pain in its
real history because then they will be critical about this great land of
ours and we will be passively taken over by a foreign power,
And they want them to learn how to think for themselves so they can
get good jobs and be successful,
But they don't want them to have books that confront them with real
ideas because that will confuse their values,
And they'd like them to be good parents,
But they can't teach them about families because that takes you back to
how you get to be a family,
And they want to warn them about how not to get AIDS
But that would mean telling them how not to get AIDS,
And they'd like them to know the Constitution,
But they don't like some of those amendments except when they are
invoked by the people they agree with,
And they'd like them to vote,
But they don't want them to discuss current events because it might be
controversial and upset them and make them want to take drugs, which they
have already told them all about,
And they want to teach them the importance of morality,
But they also want them to learn that Winning is not everything - it
is the Only Thing,
And they want them to be well-read,
But they don't want them to read Chaucer or Shakespeare or
Aristophanes or Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway or John Steinbeck, because
that will corrupt them,
And they don't want them to know anything about art because that will
make them weird,
But they do want them to know about music so they can march in the
band,
And they mainly want to teach them not to question, not to challenge,
not to imagine, but to be obedient and behave well so that they can hold
them forever as children to their bosom as the second millennium lurches
toward its panicky close.

Never, ever say: "I fell asleep in class"
Instead, say: "Notwithstanding the scintillating repartage concomitant
to this scholastic assemblage, intransigent preternatural biological
functions conspired to surmount my fragile resolve, plunging
consciousness beneath my direct autonomy and thus insuring a rapid
decline into somnolency."
