Oh my goodness. I really want to just randomly, cryptically quote him on FB.
Especially given the utter banality of the quotes.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh my goodness. I really want to just randomly, cryptically quote him on FB.
I just read through those quotes, and you really don't. They're... remarkably tedious and pedestrian.
Randomly, cryptically quote Hyperbole and a Half instead.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dude, avoid Facebook.
I have!
And possibly Carrot Top.
I do!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I don't do grave dancing. How ever, it doesn't bother me that people want to.
I don't wish harm on people. but I have a superstition that is all mixed up around the golden rule, the three fold- rule, karma, and judge not lest ye be judged. I think I read too much as a kid.
But there are people that I don't care when they fall off a cliff, or I need to know all the details about how, or I might not hear them call for help as they fall off the cliff.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
They're... remarkably tedious and pedestrian.
Truly. They aren't quotables so much as things a person might have said at some point, like "If you're going to the store later, can you pick up some gum?"

ok I kept trying to find a quote -- but they are only good if they are signed by Carrot top. Otherwise they sound like a 15 yr old

My feelings about the Osama assasination:
Lots of Americans were mad it took ten years for the government to kill bin Laden, but I think it was worth being extra careful to make sure no one else got hurt.
Jon Schwarz [link]
In short I'd be more enthusiastic about getting Bin Laden if we have not killed so many millions over the past decade on our way to getting him.
However, not sorry he is dead. At this point I say "Kiss a nurse (of whichever gender you prefer) and get the hell out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and Libya. And close most of the 800+ military bases we have around the world".

Now I am reading quotes from all kinds of peopel.
there are a lot of famous people that are very banal. No wonder Sarah Palin was popular, she was memorable.
but I need an occasion to use this:
I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.Bill Parcells
