Written under strictly controlled conditions April 1986..

The other day a friend of mine came up to me and asked a question which
|
||||
I hadn't a clear answer to. "What is Boog?" What, indeed, is boog?
|
||||
|
||||
That's a damn good question.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's avoid discussing this for a moment or two so we can collect our
|
||||
thoughts and remember from exactly which dusty, half-hidden pothole this
|
||||
concept first emerged.

|

Feh, Monty Python, Pink Floyd, Opus, The Hallelujiah Chorus, The William

|
||||
these things, and why have they assumed importance (or have they assumed
|
||||
<EFBFBD>importance?) Most likely a question would be "How can I get money out of
|
||||
this?" I can't tell how you will get $, but you can send your $ to me, c/o
|
||||
this Ascii Express. But this confuses, and we digress.

|

! wILe ! as it turns out, the more expedient course of action is to
|

! oN ! ponder the question, Why 'Boog?'. The answer is, of course,

|
||||
|
||||
Now this is all well and good, but the meaning of Boog has little, if
|
||||
any, to do with Lite Beer. To solve this puzzle we must delve into a field
|
||||
entirely different from any we have previously encountered in our daily
|
||||
experience. Look above you. Can you see the sky or is your view impeded by
|
||||
the crinkly off-white of an acoustic ceiling? The frosty neutral glare of a
|
||||
fluorescent lightbulb? Ceramic tile? Or perhaps, you can see the stars,
|
||||
staring back down from a height more remote than the sun.

|

The Master Yao-shan, upon being asked 'What is the Way?' had answered, 'A
|
||||
cloud in the sky and water in the jug!' A quick drive up to San Francisco to
|
||||
an art gallery (or a waffle factory, for that matt<74>er) will verify the truth of
|
||||
this once and for all, and how this relates to Boog can be found hanging on
|
||||
the wall in the Smithsonian.
|
||||
|
||||
Zen is the art of perceiving the world as it is without trying nor even
|
||||
wanting to understand it. Boog is the manifestation of this in the daily life
|
||||
of your average modem user. Boog doesn't make sense, it doesn't have to. All
|
||||
that is required is for you to perceive it.
|
||||
|
||||
(As a minor footnote, of late there has been much confusion and
|
||||
hullaballoo concerning the spelling and proper punctuation of the word boog.
|
||||
Committees have met, polls have been taken, votes have been counted, decisions
|
||||
have been made, and the verdict is in: Capitalized. 0's as in B00G permitted
|
||||
only if G is capitalized. Lately the alternative form b00g has seemed to have
|
||||
gained some acclaim. Best used in the context "Boog?", "Boog." or "Boog!".
|
||||
Alas poor Boog, I knew him well..)
|
||||
|
||||
Boog is a boog thing. This sentence does not talk about itself, it does
|
||||
not concern itself with much of anything. It is content to just be. Little
|
||||
relevance is applied to the fact that I am not sticking to the subject matter.
|
||||
Lemmings need not stick to their subject matter; they are free to run off to
|
||||
god-knows-where to do god-knows-what to god-knows-which other <20>lemmings for
|
||||
god-knows-why and then -poof-, he washes up onshore. Sad, but the lemming did
|
||||
not seem to so think. Similarly the frozen linguini becomes thawed hence
|
||||
rendering it edible, but not on a popsicle. Until you understand this
|
||||
paragraph you are forbidden to continue. I insist.
|
||||
|
||||
But what has this to do with Zen? Zen is neZ spelt backwards, but alas
|
||||
that gives little consolance. Were I to be a Maharishi-ite, I would tell you
|
||||
how the Grand Forces of the Unified field combine to ..well.. let things
|
||||
happen. But I am not and I will not so you're out of luck. d00d. Seriously my
|
||||
veal parmesian is cooling, and it must be attended to, so discuss that with
|
||||
the Bagwhan. Ah.. Choo.
|
||||
|
||||
Sir! Are you still alive?
|
||||
|
||||
Boog. What is boog<6F>? Boog is the experience. An ultimate that weaves its
|
||||
way into and through our lives as the spider weaves its web, in desperate
|
||||
search for food. Boog is.

I thought this was pretty funny. This is a true IBM ordering

information quote from one of their catalogues. Pass it on...

This is an actual alert to IBM Field Engineers that went out to

all IBM Branch Offices. The person who wrote it was very

serious. The rest of us may find it rather funny.

Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse
|
||||
fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a
|
||||
ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this
|
||||
procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by
|
||||
properly trained personnel.
|
||||
|
||||
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining
|
||||
the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and
|
||||
harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ
|
||||
depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be
|
||||
replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced
|
||||
using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static
|
||||
sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
|
||||
discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be
|
||||
used immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls
|
||||
for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer
|
||||
missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing
|
||||
these necessary items.
|
||||
|
||||
To re-order, specify one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
P/N 33f8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
|
||||
P/N 33f8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls
