The Time Sink

[Voices:
	   R.RIFFRAFF, a wizard
	   M.MAGENTA, a wizard (witch?)
	   N.NARRATOR, a hacker
	   CODE, a creation
	   C.COLUMBIA, an ex-CS105 student]

              R.RIFFRAFF
It's astounding.  Time is fleeting.
Hacking takes its toll.
Why don't you type "C"

        M.MAGENTA (tauntingly)
That's the way you get STARTED!

              R.RIFFRAFF
While holding down Control.
I remember doing the Time Sink,
Drinking those moments when
An idea would hit me.

        R.RIFFRAFF & M.MAGENTA
And my code would be calling:

define CHORUS <
                 CODE
Let's do the Time Sink again!
Let's do the Time Sink again!

              N.NARRATOR
I'll add a JUMP at the end.

                 CODE
And then a SKIP at the top.

              N.NARRATOR
With a HANDS% inbetween.

                 CODE
And hope the code won't flop.
But it's the little bugs.
That really drive you insa-a-a-a-ane.
Let's do the Time Sink again!
Let's do the Time Sink again!

               M.MAGENTA
It's so funny -- a DECSYSTEM-20
That costs no money -- no, none at all!
It's another facility,
And our tuition's ability
To keep rising pays it all.

              R.RIFFRAFF
Hope your work is in order;

               M.MAGENTA
You may spend a whole quarter.

              R.RIFFRAFF
And NOTHING will ever be the same.

               M.MAGENTA
'Til your preoccupation

              R.RIFFRAFF
Gets you put on probation!

                CHORUS

              C.COLUMBIA
Well I was taking 105 --
Knew it was a risk --
When a snake of a guy showed me how to play FisK.
It boggled my mind, it made me feel confused.
It was the strangest program that I EVER used!
I started to play and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again!
