"A strange game.  The only winning move is not to play."  -- the WOPR

I likey.

A statesman is an easy man, he tells his lies by rote.
A journalist invents his lies, and rams them down your throat.
So stay at home and drink your beer and let the neighbors vote.
William Butler Yeats

[Vitruvian]

We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on a-waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

John Mayer

"You know what happens when capitalism gets fucked up?
The communists come back.
They come out of the bushes.  Don't kid yourself.  They're waiting in there.

But maybe that's not so bad.  Because you know what happens when the commies take over?
The first thing they do is shoot all the lawyers!"
  -- Danny DeVito in "Other People's Money"

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all that we will know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and I sigh.

"You know what bugs me about restaurants?  They'll give crayons to the kids, but not to you.  They make you furtively use the kid stuff if you want to color."
Kat "Crayola" Kanning

[Kat Kanning]

Oooh, I've been quoted.

[Tom Sawyer]

I thought it was a good one... double plus good for using furtively.

Of all the people in the world the best and the worst are drawn to a dead dog. Most turn away. Only those with the purest of heart can feel its pain and somewhere in between the rest of us struggle.
