belville (Sharon Belville):
The pun o' the day is:
In a restaurant: Protect your bagels. Put lox on them.

centry (Jaehyun Nam):
Flunk college.
Lose my job.
Get arrested.
Die a horrible death.
Whew, glad I've finally
got that planned out.
I was starting to worry...

ckclark (Calvin Clark):
What Stella had seen on the screen, the figure of which she had
been so instantaneously jealous, was the free Stella. What did not
appear on the screen was the shadow of Stella, her demons, doubt and
fear. And Stella was jealous. She was not jealous of a more beautiful
woman, but of a free woman. She marvelled at her own movements, their
flow and ease. She marvelled at the passionate giving that came like a
flood from her eyes, melting everyone, an act of osmosis. And it was to
this woman men wrote letters and this woman they fell in love with,
courted.
They courted the face on the screen, the face of transluscence,
the face of wax on which men found it possible to imprint the image of
their fantasy.
-Anais Nin, "Stella"

mhbraun (Matt Braun):
In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it His cosmic
loneliness.
And God said "Let us make living creatures out of mud, so mud can see
what we have done"
And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man.
Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close as mud as man sat up,
looked around, and spoke. Man blinked "What is the purpose of all this ?"
he asked politley.
"Everything must have a purpose ?" asked God.
"Certainly" said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this" said God.
and He went away.

"We are destined to a fool's fate which deserves to be mocked.
And since there is no one else around to do the mocking, we
will take on the job."

echo? The echo of dreams, dreams of bones and shadows
together."

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
"The Logical Song"
by Supertramp

therese (Therese):
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as it's child

yandros (Chad Phillip Brown):
of no matter
If you want to,
call.
Be willing to
keep it short.
If it works, though
be pleasant.
Remember the reasons why.
Be strong, be a friend,
be true.
Though thy heart
may fall,
it is for the best.
Remember,
you, too, are happier
because of this.
And the two of you
are close,
because you are
a friend.
And also because
you try to make
your thoughts,
actions, and words
clear, selfless,
correct,
and helpful.
Remember. Remember all this.
Release thy hope,
so that you may truly
deliver freedom.
Free to be happy,
free to be your friend.
Free to let you
enjoy the new happiness
Let go, my friend; let go.
it is for the best.
You feel your heart sink:
this, too, shall pass.
Look at her smile --
that is the reason why.
written by a friend, not for me, but close enough to the mark
anyway. :-) Thank you, friend.
