|Wash and wax,

|wash and wax the Vax.
Which got this response:

] | I do not like its doors and sashes, | ] | I do not like it when it thrashes. | ||||

+ | (That Vax-I-Hax! | + | That Vax-I-Hax! | + | I do not like | + | That Vax-I-Hax!) |
] | Would you like it linking code | ] | Or set up as a JNET node? | ] | Compiling X (which could take days) | ] | With busses full of UDAs? |
