And while we all plaintively proclaim, across the sexes and across
geopolitical boundaries, to understand each others' "streaming
narratives", I proffer the following old "hard-wired" (err, hard-typed)
meme-bite from a great old movie (which you should all by the way rent
tonight and watch as sort of a Virion "communal act").
See you all in the "Skware"!

excerpted from:
Monty Python's
"The Meaning of Life"
GENERAL:
Well, of course, warfare isn't all fun. Right. Stop that! It's all very
well to laugh at the Military, but, when one
considers the meaning of life, it is a struggle between alternative
viewpoints of life itself, and without the ability to
defend one's own viewpoint against other perhaps more aggressive
ideologies, then reasonableness and moderation could, quite
simply, disappear.
That is why we'll always need an army, and may God strike me down were
it to be otherwise.

SERGEANT MAJOR:
Don't stand there gawping like you've never seen the Hand of God before!
Now, today, we're going to do marching up and down the square! That is,
unless any of you got anything better to do. Well?!
Anyone got anything they'd rather be doing than marching up and down the
square?! Yes?! Atkinson.
What would you... rather be doing, Atkinson?
ATKINSON:
Well, to be quite honest, Sarge, I'd... rather be at home with the wife
and kids.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Would you, now?!
ATKINSON:
Yes, Sarge.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Right! Off you go! Now, everybody else happy with my little plan... of
marching up and down the square a bit?
COLES:
Sarge!
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Yes?!
COLES:
I've got a book I'd quite like to read.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Right! You go read your book, then! Now! Everybody else... quite content
to join in... with my little scheme of marching up
and down the square?!
WYCLIF:
Sarge?
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Yes, Wyclif?! What is it?!
WYCLIF:
Well, I'm, uh, learning the piano.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Learning the piano?!
WYCLIF:
Yes, Sarge.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
And I suppose you want to go and practise, eh? Marching up and down the
square not good enough for you, eh?!
WYCLIF:
Well,--
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Right! Off you go!
WYCLIF:
Oh.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Now! What about the rest of you? Rather be at the pictures, I suppose.
SQUAD:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
All right! Off you go!
SQUAD:
Oh. Ooh. Great. That's great. What a day. I want to see the Merle Oberon
picture. Eh hehheh.
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Bloody army! I don't know what it's coming to. Right! Sergeant Major,
marching up and down the square. Left, right, left.
Left...
NARRATOR #1:
Democracy and humanitarianism have always been trademarks of the British
Army...
SERGEANT MAJOR:
Rubbish!
NARRATOR #1:
Shh! ...And have stamped its triumph throughout history, in the
furthest-flung corners of the Empire,...
