[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I am the Queen lemming and you, my subserviant following lemming must obey. -MS Fish

[Fellfrosch]

"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

A line from The Third Man, which I watched last night. Great movie.

[Master Gopher]

Sorry for the irrelevant "me too" post, but I just had to agree that that is one of my almost favourite movies ever.

"Hope is a denial of reality."

[JP Dogberry]

How is that a good quote? it's meaningles teen angst from someone who, when they tried to explain it, merely proved they had no concept of what "hope" was.

Now, I've seen this grafittied on two walls in my city:

"The purple Traitor is... Her majesty the Queen."

No idea what it means, but it sounds cool.

Old history.  If Australia decides to ditch the english royalty I bet it will be less bloody than ours.

Here's my Best Quote Lately

"There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy.  Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important.  What is important is that they are there.  These worlds provide an alternative.  Provide an escape.  Provide a threat.  Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge and pain. They give your world meaning.  They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters."  -  Titania, Neil Gaiman's "The Books of Magic"

[Master Gopher]

"Man finds nothing so intolerable as to be in a state of complete rest, without passions, without occupation, without diversion, without effort. Then he feels his nullity, loneliness, inadequacy, dependence, helplessness, emptiness."

This?  Really is the best quote I've seen lately.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn." --Joss Whedon

[Maxwell]

Nobody becomes depraved all at once---Juvenal(Some Roman dude)

[mulchNator]

"Welcome to reality, visit again soon!"

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

"Also, french fries are bad for you. This is a shame, because I think they are just about the tastiest thing you can do to a potato."

Not so much a quote, but a funny T-Shirt from a band called "Suicide Machines".  Has anyone recieved the e-mail about starbucks, and our troops over in Iraq.  If not the story is this.  A soldier in service there wrote to starbucks, and asked them if they would support the troops by sending some of their great gourmet coffee.  Starbucks replied that they DO NOT support the troops efforts in Iraq and refused to send the coffee in support.  

Now back to the T-Shirt.  A green T-Shirt the color of Starbucks label green with an altered Starbucks logo.  The regular logo has a female figure with a type of plant behind her branching outward.  On this shirt instead of a plant the figure is morphed into hands with thumbs raised, and index fingers pointing to the temples of the head.  Instead of Starbucks being read, and "I QUOTE" the band name is referenced around the logo "SUICIDE MACHINES".  

My brother is over there now, again I quote " i USED to drink starbucks coffee, but NOT ANYMORE!

it's actually a mermaid. I've seen pictures of some of the really old logos, and it was less stylized.

I'd just like to point out that the very popular email is in fact false, as most of them are.

And there is a thread called 'Tshirts that must be owned' for this sort of thing.

From an old email I sent to J.T. -

P.S. - We watched Othello today, and learned it's always important to remember this: Even if your very bestest friend says I'm cheating on you, he's lying, and killing me in a fit of jealous rage won't help.
