The last really good party I attended, the hostess had arranged for us to
see a preview copy of a movie we'd all contributed material to, but her
VCR/projector was very crudely aligned. So the bunch of us tore it down,
matched the adjustments, and did a *proper* convergence on it before we
watched the video tape. There was a moment of acute panic on the part of the
hostess when she came back down to the screening room to see how we were
getting along, and found twenty kilobucks' worth of Home Theater System
spread all over the floor in pieces.
Hostess' Husband: "I *TOLD* you not to leave any tools out, with
this bunch in the house!"
Hostess: "I didn't! They all had Swiss Army Knives and
Little Screwdrivers!"
Hostess' Husband: "God, look at this mess. Can't they just drink
and bust things, like normal party guests?"
... The front-projection unit was at better-than-factory alignment when
we were done with it. It really was the best sixty-inch projection TV
display I'd ever seen, after it was properly degaussed, compensated, and
converged. (And our movie looked great, thank you very much.) However,
at the next party at that house, the butler requested that we check
"weapons and tools" at the door. (We ignored him.)

You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure!
You're just like everybody else
Pressure!
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure!
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure!
But even you can not avoid
Pressure!
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2
What do you know?
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street
What does it mean?
Pressure!
Pressure!
Don't ask for help
You're all alone
Pressure!
You'll have to answer
To your own
Pressure!
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure!
Pressure!
All your life is Time Magazine
I read it too
What does it mean?
Pressure!
I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
Pressure, pressure!
One, two, three, four
Pressure!
Billy Joel, "Pressure"
GRIP-TOP SOCK
Give me the gift of a grip-top sock,
A clip-drake shipshape tip-top sock;
Not your spin-slick, slapstick, slip-shod stock,
But a plastic, elastic grip-top sock.
None of your fantastic slack swap slop
From a slapdash, flash-cash haberdash shop;
Not a knick-knack, knitlock, knock-kneed knickerbocker sock,
With a mock-shot, blob-mottled trick-ticker-tock clock;
Not a rucked-up, puckered-up flop-top sock;
Not a super-sheer, seersucker rucksack sock;
Not a spotspeckled, frog-freckled cheap sheik's sock
Off a hodge-podge, moss-blotched, scotch-botched block;
Nothing slip-shod, drip-drop, flip-flop or glip-glop:
Tip me to a tip-top, grip-top sock!

I bought a car. My parents talked the dealer down by more than 25% of
the asking price. The engine in the van was running when the salesman
ran out the door after us. :)
