Sean Chisham's Tubenet,
You're my buddy. Thank you for taking away my nonschool, nonband, nonpractice time away from me. Oh, and sleep.
Sincerely,
Charlie Goodman

She's also missing the flight inducing nuns habit - which I always visualize when I see her.
By the way in writing p*l*t*cs, are you avoiding something?

Doc
Shouldn't that be B**Bs ?
What about Boo Bees?

A dysfunctional decomposition ...

.
I stand corrected.
In evaluating the expression
B**Bs: Just as any non-zero number raised to the "zero-th" power is one, so any (presumably non-zero) number (represented here as
B) raised to the "
Bs-th" power
is Bs (more commonly capitalised, and hereinafter referred to, as
BS).
The concatenated-multiplicative expression
P*l*t*cs has a less-straightforward result, partly due to some ambiguity as to what the four variables refer to (though one might reasonably guess that
l refers to "
length",
t to "
time", and
cs either to "
computer
science" or a "
crock of
something") ...

I don't think bees scare that easily.
Not a
ghost of a chance!

Why do you think they call them yellow jackets?

I thought the yellow was for visibility (so they wouldn't have to deal with bumblebees pulling out in front of them and causing accidents

)
