amgreene (Rhu Greene):
Schlissel: Really, religion has become so pallad recently, it is
hardly worth while being an athiest.

capsalad (Dave Schulman):
I will do this work I see before me, pointing gravely.
I will suffer from the manifold pains of the world.
I feel the mountains pressing Atlas down.
I will say nothing.
I will swallow it all.
I wait.
Isopropyl alcohol leaves no residue when it evaporates.
I wait for it to be over.
I will be Driven Down.
And I will watch, I will be aware; I know that it is a nobler thing,
a more honorable thing, to acknowledge defeat-in-mortality than to waste
energy fighting that long heavy arm, the lever on which we turn. I know
now that the source of my power is also the means of my ruin, that those
who profit from my outflung substance are no better or worse than I am,
small and without lasting value, comfortless rodents scampering among
bones, without substance or limit, irrevocably and likewise
Gone.
Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead.

chato (Eric Y.C. Shih):
My Plan:
1. Get my MSME as quickly as possible--two years is enough!
2. Pass the qualifiers (not a chance...)
3. Work for a toy company.
Condo update: the Crystal Cabinet is up...but there are still more boxes

Hi Carla!

cheshire (Mary Vogt):
Stay cool. Uncool dudes get stomped on.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Closely paraphrased without permission from, "To Err is Reagan..."
The Washington Press Corps was stunned today when President Reagan
suggested mud wrestling as a substitute for affirmative action.
A staff aide said later that the President had misunderstood the
question, but refused to say what question the President thought he
was answering.

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
A big cheer for the entire NASA crew for launching the USA back into
space!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
phoibe (belinda):
There is pleasure sure in being mad,
Which none but madmen know;
But guard ye well, your sanity
Lest along that path you go.
'Tis not a pleasure 'til you're there
'Mid chilling dark, your soul stripped bare;
Alone adrift with visions strange
The morbid world of one deranged
May be a nice place to live- now, is it?
I don't think I'd want to visit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanzer (Michael S. Shanzer):
"Guess where I'm calling from! My car! I have a phone in my car! Ha ha!
Doesn't it sound great?! It's in my car! A phone! Well, gotta go! I just
hit a blind pedestrian!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wisner (Bill Wisner):
"Mind your manners, son! I've got a tall pointy hat!"
