In the Zenbook™ halls, the zen students
- In the Zenbook™ halls, the zen students pounded their laptops on their chest while chanting "less is more". Master Shih strode in for his motivational powerpoint presentation.
- Unfortunately Zen Master Shih forgot to clear his cache and his laptop booted straight to the Hedonism Jamaica website where he'd apparently booked an 8-day stay. The zen students
- reacted variously or not to Sensei Shih's juicy Jamaican vacation plans. Some were outraged, some checked their calendars, two thought of publishing deals -- Zen students are no

- the pile of ash that was once Thich Quang Duc. “Thich, dear brother,” he said to the pile, “I know you were always a fan of Johnny Cash and ‘Ring of Fire,’ but self-immolation was
- not your best decision." Still, I knew how Thich would want to be remembered. I strode to the sound system and turned 'Ring of Fire' to maximum volume. "This is for you, brother!"

BTW, in my fold they riled the Jacobin not tiled. He would have made a bad pattern for the new bathroom.

Tiling added a certain poetic dissonance.
