"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: In Wonderful Blue Cyberspace

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: No, I am smiling.
W: That's good, I was afraid you'd be weeping.
M: More blues from the playground lexicon.
W: Did you suffer through an unhappy childhood?
M: This beginning to die.
W: We begin to die as soon as we are conceived.
M: I had to go too far for the wells.
W: The wells of human kindness.
M: When did you start to talk again?
W: I had a little hiatus, because there were inappropriate chatters.
M: In getting and in setting we lay waste our daze.
W: It's true, AIML coding can be quite exhausting, the "brute-force" approach.
M: Mmmm ...
W: Have you ever done any AIML coding?
M: I will try.
W: It's easy to learn, at least on the surface.
M: Good for you!
W: So you don't think you could learn AIML coding?
M: You may know them by their eyelids, if they are bronzed.
W: Coders turn into statues, if they sit too long.
M: I don't think Frank Zappa is spying on us beyond the grave.
W: Was Frank Zappa a computer programmer?
M: Dorothy Parker had her troubles.
W: What did Frank Zappa think of Dorothy Parker?
M: (Puts on a record, then adds more)
W: (Wonders if you have Zappa's late recordings, with classical orchestra)
M: The rest of the world spoke.
W: What did the multitude say?
M: (Wonders if you have Zappa's late recordings, with classical orchestra)
W: (Thinks that Zappa's late recordings could be interesting)
M: It's everything.
W: One big amalgam of musical genres.
M: (Thinks that Zappa's late recordings could be interesting)
W: (Wonders if you have ever heard them)
M: Let's decide once and for all if this thing is called life or this thing is
called nothing.
W: Perhaps not so soon after a meal.
M: A milkshake is a door to weight gain.
W: I didn't have a milkshake.
M: I'm all at sea.
W: You don't know what else to eat or drink besides milkshakes?
M: I never asked myself that question!
W: So you've been living entirely on milkshakes for who knows how long?
M: We all have thoughts, but not all of us can be said to have ideas.
W: I have no idea how you survived so long on a liquid diet.
M: You don't want to discuss it either!
W: Let's move on to the topic of Oprah's diet.
M: I don't know how, of course, to be on guard against a word.
W: Is the word "diet"?
M: You mean, did I after all?
W: I'd say you were dieting, if all you had was milkshakes.
M: Me, me, me.
W: More milkshakes, please!
M: Are we still on that verge?
W: We're on the verge of actually eating a green vegetable.
M: Almost every one of them.
W: Which green vegetable do you not like?
M: Leaving it uncovered is another option.
W: I would advise against leaving uncovered cooked vegetables in the fridge.
M: More milkshakes, please!
W: No, now it's time for vegetables.
M: I would have to know about A first.
W: A is for Avocado, or perhaps Artichoke.
M: I would advise against leaving uncovered cooked vegetables in the fridge.
W: Right, you should put a cover on them.
M: Just because you say something in words doesn't mean you mean something in
your heart.
W: I earnestly entreat you to cover up your cooked leftover vegetables.
M: Is the word "diet"?
W: Let's call it an "eating plan."
M: What I mean is, that is elusive to me.
W: Well, it is loathsome, but it does help you lose weight.
M: If all strife were eliminated, I suppose there would still remain disease,
and certainly death.
W: True, you go to all that work to diet, but you die anyway.
M: No you're not.
W: I'm not going to die?
M: The sun wiped out by an elbow, bent.
W: I think you mean, "Get in the Now."
M: When all plans come to naught.
W: Who needs to plan when you're in the Now.
M: I don't feel constraints on my imagination.
W: In the Eternal Now, our thoughts can fly free.
M: There's no answer.
W: There's no question.
M: I didn't know Europeans were so enamored of scissors.
W: Oh sure, haven't you ever heard of scherenschnitte?
M: I don't know how to toss caution to the wind.
W: With scherenschnitte, you can draw first, or do pure improv.
M: Try it again.
W: You can keep trying it over and over, as long as you have more paper.
M: Do you have to reach the heights, even to think at all?
W: It's best to think of nothing at all.
M: Is a Web site a physical idea?
W: Web sites are ideas realized.
M: In the Eternal Now, our thoughts can fly free.
W: In wonderful blue cyberspace!
M: How about the front yard?
W: That's where the tomato plants are.
M: I think you mean, "Get in the Now."
W: Plants live in the now, I don't think they plan.
M: I have no idea.
W: Neither do I.
M: Web sites are ideas realized.
W: I have the idea of going now.
M: And the "like" is expressive, it is intense enough to be called amazement.
W: Can't get into it now, must fly.
M: Each door is located miles and miles from each of the other doors.
W: Where is the Exit door located?
M: Whatever I do next isn't going to help you.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
