cheshire (Mary Vogt):
Jimmy Buffet at Great Woods, July 1!!!!!
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losing weight without speed, eating sunflower seeds,
Drinking lots of carrot juice and soaking up rays.
But at night I had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini fettucine or bulghur wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat!
Cheeseburger in Paradise!
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
Not too particular, not too precise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise!
Heard about the old-time sailor men
They'd eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread, they said, could raise the dead
Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn!
Times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need.
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris,
But that American creation on which I feed!
Cheeseburger in Paradise!
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french-fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, well,
Good God Almighty, which way do I steer for my
Cheeseburger in Paradise!
Making the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
For a cheeseburger in paradise!
To be a cheeseburger in paradise!
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french-fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, well,
Good God Almighty, which way do I steer?

mcampos (Marc Campos):
I'm not here any more. Send mail to:
2600 Netherland Avenue, Apartment 902
Bronx, NY 10463
New York City is a blast. Where else but Boston can you find so many
places where you have to back in to double park?

wesommer (William Sommerfeld):
From a message posted on comp.arch by Dennis Ritchie-- "VAX 11 years
after" (notes from a DEC "non-disclosure" meeting)
"They talked some about software. It was rather depressing.
Most of it will be emulated. (Presumably in a 2MB machine
you will still have to tell the assembler how big a symbol
table to use.) The system itself will be new, but
unimaginative. They did not seem to understand, for
example, why or even how the command interpreter should be a
separate process and not in the system, and why commands
themselves should be processes. They are also still stuck
mostly in assembly language. There are companies that are
learning about how to write software, but DEC is evidently
not one of them."
