rovingtar Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Church says that the Earth is flat, but I know that it is round.

Capn Bob Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 "They say that the prospect of being hanged in the morning concentrates a man's mind wonderfully: unfortunately, what the mind inevitably concentrates on is that it is in a body that, in the morning, is going to be hanged."

Hawk the QM Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

blackjohn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Red Cat Jenny Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 A quote I have long had tacked to my wall Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. -Dwight Eisenhower Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood.
