Don't you wish you had more energy... or less ambition?

Dope will get you through times of no money better that money will get
you through times of no dope.
                -- Gilbert Shelton

Dorothy:        But how can you talk without a brain?
Scarecrow:      Well, I don't know... but some people
                        without brains do an awful lot of talking.
                -- The Wizard of Oz

Double!

Double Bucky, you're the one,
You make my keyboard so much fun,
Double Bucky, an additional bit or two, (Vo-vo-de-o)
Control and meta, side by side,
Augmented ASCII, 9 bits wide!
Double Bucky, a half a thousand glyphs, plus a few!

Oh, I sure wish that I,
Had a couple of bits more!
Perhaps a set of pedals to make the number of bits four.

Double Double Bucky!  Double Bucky left and right
OR'd together, outta sight!
Double Bucky, I'd like a whole word of,
Double Bucky, I'm happy I heard of,
Double Bucky, I'd like a whole word of you!
                -- to Nicholas Wirth, who suggested that an extra bit
                be added to terminal codes on 36-bit machines for use
                by screen editors.  [to the tune of "Rubber Ducky"]

Doubt is a not a pleasant mental state, but certainty is a ridiculous one.
                -- Voltaire

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
                -- Voltaire

Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.
                -- Paul Tillich, German theologian.

Down to the Banana Republics,
Down to the tropical sun.
Go the expatriated Americans,
Hoping to find some fun.
Some of them go for the sailing,
Caught by the lure of the sea.
Trying to find what is ailing,
Living in the land of the free.
Some of them are running from lovers,
Leaving no forward address.
Some of them are running tons of ganja,
Some are running from the IRS.
Late at night you will find them,
In the cheap hotels and bars.
Hustling the senoritas,
While they dance beneath the stars.
                -- Jimmy Buffet, "Banana Republics"
