    Men hold great attraction to her. Why isn't she Goddess of Neutral, though? She plays elevator music.

    MIT had "Project Athena". So, when it came time for us to develop
    a large-scale system for managing usernames and passwords, we called
    it "Eris"[*]. It lives in /opt/eris on one of our servers. Original
    version of the perl library was 1997. Some of it is still used
    by back-end tools. (It's changed somewhat over 26 years.)

    Hail Eris!

    I had a large bottle of Eris cologne in my closet when the police busted in and said it was time to go. I like to fantasize that it caused a large fire and burnt the place down, but all I really got was the carpet stripped to the floor. They been
    harping about the back rent they lucky to get the front rent. The landlady was stone deaf. She put her rifle to my forehead and pulled her arms away when I dropped the check over the counter. I'm going to shred this she said. I owe them $8000. In
    January 2026, I will owe them $0 without paying a single penny. Rules are made to be squeezing the maximum yield out of life me leprechauns. Persent is a little leprechaun, so we will identify with the least denominator. I make the rules they break
    them.

    Sorry the thought of her out there on her honeymoon shaking it off while I'm constrained to less than 7200 square feet and hostile guards not the message I's looking for.

    100 years from now, your writing will have far greater impact than
    many other MTG commentators.
