Hmm. Most of the high schools I pass these days seem to have "Freak
Day" defined as any day with a name ending in "y". Then again, I'm
conservatively maintaining the long hair and beard that were the
standard back when I was growing up. (At least unlike a lot of my
classmates, I still have a full head of hair to keep long, even if
there is getting to be a bit of silver mixed in). Of course, since
that used to be the dress code for serious Unix hackers and system
administrators, I have another excuse.

firearms with me.  I said "Well, what do you need?"  --  Steven Wright
