Best I can come up with is that there is an Alice’s Restaurant at the top end of PageMills rd, a few miles further along than PARC

Song lyrics from Alice’s Restaurant: 

"They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,
Where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
Neglected and selected.

#inject:into:
#detect:
#collect:
#select:
#reject:

I used to be able to play the guitar part for hours, but I'm afraid my fingers
may have forgotten some of the details.

The Squeak connection is reportedly associated with the collections protocol,
which evidently has not been fully implemented. The correct selectors would
be { #injected . #inspected . #detected . #infected . #neglected . #selected }.

Someone should definitely define #infect: and #neglect:
