So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf to make an apple pie; and
at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street pops its head into
the shop. "What! no soap?"  So he died, and she very imprudently married
the barber; and there were present the Picninnies, and the Grand Panjandrum
himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing
the game of catch as catch can, till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of
their boots.

So so is good, very good, very excellent good:
and yet it is not; it is but so so.

So... so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell?
Blue skies from pain?                   Did they get you to trade
Can you tell a green field              Your heroes for ghosts?
From a cold steel rail?                 Hot ashes for trees?
A smile from a veil?                    Hot air for a cool breeze?
Do you think you can tell?              Cold comfort for change?
                                        Did you exchange
                                        A walk on part in a war
                                        For the lead role in a cage?

So the documentary-makers stick with sharks.  Generally, their procedure is
to scatter bleeding fish pieces around their boat, so as to infest the
waters.  I would estimate that the primary food source of sharks today is
bleeding fish pieces scattered by people making documentaries.  Once the
sharks arrive, they are generally fairly listless.  The general shark attitude
seems to be: "Oh God, another documentary."  So the divers have to somehow
goad them into attacking, under the guise of Scientific Research.  "We know
very little about the effect of electricity on sharks," the narrator will
say, in a deeply scientific voice.  "That is why Todd is going to jab this
Great White in the testicles with a cattle prod."  The divers keep this kind
of thing up until the shark finally gets irritated and snaps at them, and
then they act as though this was a totally unexpected and very dangerous
development, although clearly it is what they wanted all along.

So this it it.  We're going to die.

So, what's with this guy Gideon, anyway?
And why can't he ever remember his Bible?

So, you better watch out!
You better not cry!
You better not pout!
I'm telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming, to town.

He knows when you've been sleeping,
He know when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
He has ties with the CIA.
So...

"So you don't have to, Cindy, but I was wondering if you might
        want to go to someplace, you know, with me, sometime."
"Well, I can think of a lot of worse things, David."
"Friday, then?"
"Why not, David, it might even be fun."

So you see Antonio, why worry about one little core dump, eh?  In reality all
core dumps happen at the same instant, so the core dump you will have tomorrow,
why, it already happened.  You see, its just a little universal recursive joke
which threads our lives through the infinite potential of the instant.  So go
to sleep, Antonio, your thread could break any moment and cast you out of the
safe security of the instant into the dark void of eternity, the anti-time.
So go to sleep, ...
