I prefer the Great Unwashed, if we're going to choose peanut galleries.

Hunh. I just tightened the chain on my bike with Boccherini. He was doin'
fine when he wasn't complaining about getting greasy.

: Hey, Randy.
 
Yes, hi Randy.
 
: Been there, done that.   For several semesters!  It's pretty cool, but I
: really think that doing it "in private" detracts from the fun of it.
 
If on'y this were posted to mu.flames... oh well. I'll pretend I'm not
thinking what I'm really thinking.
 
: Your own experience with Wolfgag is an example of the richness that can
: be present when this type of discourse is held in a truly public
: forum!   If you guys don't mind our carrying on about Lagrangians
: and Hamiltonians, we'll be quite pleased to be watching what
: "ordinary" folks are using this venue for,
: and to chuckle at the occasional orthogonal humor or other remarks
: that appear from you (Robert Pirsig and his concept of --how
: did he phrase it? ---   orthogonal or lateral thinking,
: perpendicular to your original linear thinking, which occasionally
: builds up so much inertia you don't SEE the ideas that are moving in
: at 90 degrees from your line of vision, and which often hold
: the key to solving the mystery you're attacking).
 
Mmm hmm. I've played both Master of Orion's (unless there's more than I'm
aware of) and I've never run into a Lagrangian. Pirsig sounds foriegn and
we don't take kindly to outsiders here, zen or not. And I think you
misspelled "ornery."
 
: Besides, there are all of 8 people in this class, and I question the
: wisdom of estblishing a separate group for a class such as this.
 
Actually, um, since well, most MU froups are totally unsused except by me
and rando here, it might not be a bad idea. Once you do that, we'll stop
by and take over.
 
: Cheers,
