Eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist.

I’m the wrong kind of geek to get this strip today.

Its a blue meany from “The Yellow Submarine”

Jeremy Hillary Boob; well done

Forgot the PhD. Don’t forget the PhD.

Rita’s such a meanie.

BLUE MEANIES!!!

“Looks like blue glass” “Must be from Kentucky”

He’s a real nowhere man.

“sitting in his no where land with nobody…” But is is one busy fellow.

“We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine…”

He’s a real UNIX Man

Sitting in his UNIX LAN

Making all his UNIX .plans

For nobody

Knows the blocksize from ‘du’

Cares not where /dev/null goes to

Isn’t he a bit like you

And me?

UNIX Man, don’t worry

It’s the tube that’s blurry

UNIX Man

The new kernel boots, just like you had planned

He’s as wise as he can be

Programs in lex, yacc and C

UNIX Man, can you help me

At all?

UNIX Man, please listen

My printout is missin’

UNIX Man

The wo-o-o-orld is your ‘at’ command

He does all that work and still gets nowhere!
