Emma Thompson was busy mumbling something about a McPhee

Do you remember the time that Kenneth Branagh was supposed to serve me tea and scones? No? Well, I do. What I remember most about that is that he never did. Seeing Roger Moore in a dress made up for having to pay $1 to see Roger Moore in a dress, but did it make up for the lack of scones? I don't know.

Filhos da mente de jaldhar

Jaldhar, I won't be able to go to Debconf 6 either, because your sombrero just gave me an aneurysm.

Have a nice day. May I please have the aneurysm?

And then there were bouquinistas

« So, that was a productive walk, » he said. « I went to Isaac's at 9, bought pot from his mom, got high with them, discussed moving to foreign countries to avoid the draft, was given a cookbook, went grocery shopping, and bought turtle food. »

« Mmm... turtle food, » she said.

coquête
La lune,
sourde comme tes reins,
s'est enveloppée dans
son toile nuptial
de suages. 

Réfléchissant la
lumière empruntée de
ma soeur qui brûle,
ceux auquels elle
est l'abeille
t'attendent,
encore l'ouverts.

Récouvre-les,
Albern Ahn,
et par là
commence ta
retraite
de cette
verre tor-
due.

The Alaskan pipeline

Joey, zsh does the subshell on the left side of the pipe. This is aggravating in far fewer cases than the right-hand way.

In times past, this would lead to confusion when one would try piping the output of the jobs builtin to, well, anything. That's why jobs is now special-cased to magically work in a subshell.
