dachurch (Douglas A. Church):

To go spend lots of money on shit for my bicycle and pretend I'm happy...

"Everybody is on the make, that's what makes this country great
	So all I wanted in the end, was world domination 
	and a whole lot of money to spend
 Everything I touch everything I see, fame and fortune immortality
    	It's not much to ask, it's really not
	not much to ask, just the same as everybody else"
      - "Great Expectations", New Model Army, _Vengance: The Independant Story_

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):

"I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep,
I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep.
And I try to be rational;
And I try to be wise...
But it all gets blown to pieces when I look in her eyes."

					- Billy Joel, "Temptation"

wisner (Bill Wisner):

  The first Great Steward, Parrafin the Climber, was employed in King
Chloroplast's kitchen as second scullery boy when the old King met a
tragic death.  He apparently fell backward by accident on a dozen salad
forks.  Simultaneously the true heir, his son Carotene, mysteriously
fled the city, complaining of some sort of plot and a lot of
threatening notes left on his breakfast tray.  At the time, this looked
suspicious what with his father's death, and Carotene was suspected of
foul play.  Then the rest of the King's relatives began to drop dead
one after the other in an odd fashion.  Some were found strangled with
dishrags and some succumbed to food poisoning.  A few were found
drowned in the soup vats, and one was attacked by assailants unknown
and beaten to death with a pot roast.  At least three appear to have
thrown themselves backward on salad forks, perhaps in a noble gesture
of grief over the King's untimely end.  Finally there was no one left
in Minas Troney who was either eligible or willing to wear the accursed
crown, and the rule of Twodor was up for grabs.  The scullery slave
Parrafin bravely accepted the Stewardship of Twodor until that day when
a lineal descendant of Carotene's returns to reclaim his rightful
throne, conquer Twodor's enemies, and revamp the postal system.
