I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Turkish Delight sucks!

I was imagining something like truffles, wrapped in caramel or something.

Also this comment on The Grapes of Wrath (1939) does pretty much sum up how I feel about The Old Man and the Sea, if you substitute salt water and fishing for dirt and migrating.

“While the story did have a great moral to go along with it, it was about dirt! Dirt and migrating. Dirt and migrating and more dirt.”

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hec, what is your tag from?

Lord of the Flies (1955)

Author: William Golding

“I am obsessed with Survivor, so I thought it would be fun. WRONG!!! It is incredibly boring and disgusting. I was very much disturbed when I found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a conscience would agree with me.”

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I would like to coin a new phrase. The new phrase is: Internet Aspergers.

This is reserved for people who may have social skills in RL, but on the 'net, have no sense of people around them, have no ability to sense sarcasm, irony, or subtext in the written word, if it is posted online.

I'm certain this is a diagnosable condition warranting further study.

Would anyone like to give me a grant?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'll give you a grant if you go after the Sony people re: my Mad About You dvd's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was very much disturbed when I found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a conscience would agree with me.

Because obviously, anyone who likes the book is in favor of children killing each other.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because obviously, anyone who likes the book is in favor of children killing each other.

Yes, because the only reason to include anything in a book/movie/tv show is because the author is 100% in favor of it. Didn't you get the Parents' Television Council memo?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Internet Aspergers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, sure. I can't think of any reason anyone would write something down if they weren't all about it.

So it is written, so it shall be.
