Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 19:31:46 -0400 From: Kafka Dreams To: void Subject: motherhood There will be no apple pie comments. My first thought, upon seeing "kjc is not your mother" was OWIE! That sure woulda hurt iffn I was. Then all that Sumerian, Babylonian, Greek, Roman, and Cthulian mythology took hold... WORSHIP before me for LO! I am the MOTHER-LIGHT! I am WOMAN-FIRE! It was *I* who bore the WINDOWS-SLAYER! *I* who bore the LINUX-WEAVERS! MY BLOOD is made up of PERFECT PACKETS! My HAIR is the FINEST FIBER OPTIC NETWORK! The HEAT of my MOLTEN PASSION solders your CIRCUIT BOARDS! MY WOMB was the ORIGINAL PORTAL! The NERD GIANTS were my FIRSTBORN! With their blended TWEEDY SKINS and POCKET PROTECTORS OF DOOM they RULED the world from below until the coming of my SECONDBORN, the GODS you know as UNIX and C! The PACKET SHAPERS you know as IP and TCP! They ROSE UP from the GROUND and made a PACT with my THIRDBORN - the HACKER HEROES and NETWORK KINGS - to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! ALL MY CHILDREN! I GAVE THEM LIFE! But, my final thought is "nap time for weirdos" . Kelly J. (NO meds! NO MEDS! Don't make me SMITE you!)
