The Empirical Manifesto

As always, ma'am - you flatter me. And thank you. I retouched all the header images, each one using a different technique. Its in the details, you know.

Also - well, I'm rather embarrassed to admit it, but I actually paid for wallpaper. You don't know this, but I don't pay for ANYTHING. Alas, I could not find, anywhere - not even with my Google trick of searching unsuspecting Windows boxes, this wallpaper. Pay for it I did. But when the time comes, and come it will, I shall place it on wilddamntexan amongst my scores and tell those select few who have need to know.

I'm pleased you approve. Many kudos go to galinda822 for being my voice of reason (I was getting too flamboyant with the purple, and she helped reel me in. Like a marlin...)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

1. Have you had a chance to go through the wallpapers I set on your new XP box?

2. I would LOVE to set yours up. However, many different themes have different options available (I'm not allowed to just barge into the CSS code and start hacking). Send me your passwd (in email, of course) & an idea as to what you want - you won't be disappointed!

I'm listening to the Stardust score and it is just as awesome as the movie. Want it?

Fantastic!

I am, and have been. It shows you as sleeping, tiny dancer.

Thank you ma'am.

The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the
'Style Invitational'.

The requirements this week were to use the two words 'Lewinsky' (the
Intern) and 'Kaczynski' (the Unabomber) in the same limerick.

Now, remember, the following winning entries were actually printed verbatim
in the newspaper, no bleeps or xxxs:


Third place:

There once was a girl named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas 'Hail to the Chief'
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.


Second place:

Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky.


And the winning entry:

Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known,
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter,
When deciding how best to be blown.

Thank you ma'am, though it doesn't seem that long ago that I went from green to blue. Sheesh - I just looked it up...only seven months. Huh.

What a great use of your avatar, ma'am!

I've not even seen them out here yet. Yes, please do - tell all!

Me too, at first it hurt my eye's, now it just hypnotizes me.
