Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Not unless Melville's Pierre said I DON'T CARE.

No he just (probably) slept with the woman who was (probably) his sister. Although if I remember correctly, he does get eaten. Or consumed. Or maybe just dies of consumption.

No, I believe that was Bartleby.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe someone should set up a Mr. Poll?

No, no - Bartleby is Beej's dog. Not very articulate, but he gets his message across (in a far shorter time than Melville ever did).

So, here's an amusing open letter to Luke Wilson from Steely Dan, instead.

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

Someone needs to do "Bartleby the Scribner" as a children's book. Let's see - what animal should Bartleby be? I'm thinking wombat.
