We are blessed to have Ray Bradbury.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

But he is one of my patron saints. Him, and the Emperor Norton.
And Emperor Norton, while not having a religion built around him per se, is a saint or something in Discordianism.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
In Gaiman's Sandman series, Death hinted pretty strongly that Norton was one of the Tzadikim Nistarim, the 36 righteous secret saints, their sainthood unknown even to themselves, for whose sake God continues to spare the world from destruction.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
On Tolkien - one thing we tend to forget is, popular "wisdom" used to be much more tilted toward "nature", and it's swung a loooooooooong way towards "nurture" over the past 50-odd years. Anything we read from back then is seen through that filter.
Also, Mark just read about Treebeard, and WOW THAT'S A LOT OF CAPSLOCK.

AT SOME POINT CAPSLOCK LOSES ITS EFFECT EVEN IN BOLD
