I didn't have a clear idea of the atmosphere in the place prior to this
strip. The music cleared that up for me. :) Bauhaus if I'm not mistaken. 
Stupid me didn't make the connection between goth and music from the 'Goth
Club' sign in the first strip. Only thing I could think of at the time
was gothic art (whatever that is) and figured that it wasn't there they went
in.

Well I didn't want to drive the Goth dance club thing to death so
there are only a few referances in this script.  "Goth Club" being one
of them.  The above "uncomfterble pause".  If we remove those all we
have to go on is the number of times "dance" is mentioned, which could
be any kind of dance club, and the the referances to Harding's love of
slaves.  If any of you have every been to a goth club you know that
their is always one person looking for slaves.

This should help:

$ crontab -l > file
$ echo -e '0 0 * * * echo "To be drunk or not to be drunk; Well its a\
bit to late for that question."\n\n' >> file 
$ crontab file

Not that I would ever take the lazy way out of memorizing something by
emailing my self via a automated process every day.  Not not me.

huh? you mean it was intended. My late enlightment wasn't because of my
slow-witted daftness, but merely a carefully plottet editorial finesse.

Previously I found it kinda annoying, that cron mailed the output
of the command to the user. Why not use logfiles, like any other nice
daemon?
Now I can see some practical use for it, and suddenly don't find it that
annoying after all. This I will never understand.

One of the nice things about reading instead of watching [movie tv &c]
is that lots of thing can be left for you to fill in if the author
does not do it for you.  If done emproperly it leaves you feeling
unsatisfied at the lack of depth in a story.  If done properly it
causes the reader to fill in the gaps of setting/imagery and create a
more personal story for the reader because they take a bigger part in
creating it.

This is one of the reasons that NerdBoy is so popular.  The only props
you are likely to find in a NB script is a computer and occastionaly
other things like a hover craft or space alines and bjork songs.
There arn't any chairs, rooms, hallways etc.  You are left to fill in
the environment and in the process you identify with the story more
than say my scripts.  I had to put a few more props in mine to create
the environment because while I did have an exact environment in mind
I didn't want to over run the story or stop the reader from makeing it
like any other club that they might have gone to.  Though you never
see the dance floor (I don't dance) so you see the lounge and smokeing
area.  The fact that this is a club only happens in the fringe of your
minds eye. 

But if you identify with any of the persons in my scripts then you
probably have mental issues and should seek professional help.  Yes,
that encludes even the video game player too.

You can redirect the output from cron any way you want.  If you where
to do a 'echo "some text" 2>&1 >> logfile ' then you will not get an
email and you can check the logfile at your lesure.  Or you can create
a seperait mailbox and via something like procmail redirect all mail
from cron to that new mailbox and check it when you feel like it.  Or
Or Or Or.  *nix is very flexible if you can adjust to the fact that
nothing is set in stone.

[~springs back into alt.ascii-art from wherever she was~] Right you are!
The song's full lyrics are:


White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead

The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead


It's a great song to dance to at the club... kind of tribal, the
drumbeats.  Oldschool: you just can't... beat it. ~ducks~
