Quote O' The Day

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings

"A man is a lonely thing." -John Steinbeck

The 20th-century American writer's final novel, The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), was specifically cited by the committee that awarded the author the Nobel Prize. The above quote is a chapter-ending non sequitur from protagonist Ethan to his wife Mary, a line he speaks as he mows the lawn. Elsewhere in the novel, town playboy Joey "Morph" Morphy expresses a different philosophy: "There's nobody as lonely as an all-married man." "How do you know?" asks Ethan. "I see 'em," Morph replies. "I'm looking at one."

"If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men and become merely machines for eating and for earning money." -John Updike

John Updike's considerable literary output -- over 80 books in his long career -- ranged from essays and art criticism to the fiction for which he is best known. This line is from an early collection of his nonfiction (Assorted Prose). Years later, Updike looked back on the child-rearing period of his life as though it had happened to someone else. "The whole experience of raising small children, for example, is quite far behind me," he said in an interview, "and I read with amazement that evidently I once knew all about it."

Oh but I think he would.  I live every detail of my life asking myself "what would Jesus do?"  before I act on anything.  In fact, instead of using my brain or rely on my intelligence at all to solve problems, I just prey on it and the answers come to me.

PREY?  excellently timed spelling fail or win- however you wanna see it.   The only thing you prey on is small bayou boys

Hey if Jesus wanted me to have good spelling skills he would have granted them to me.  He has a plan and it's not for us to judge.  That was good timing on an epic spelling fail though.  I prayed on it and now I can spell it, yaaaaaaaaaay Jesus!

[Peelz]

LOLOLOL "it's GERD's plan" I hate when people say that trying to make other people feel better.

So, Troy,

Did you ask yourself WWJD? when you opened that giant bag of dicks?

"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius." -Arthur Conan Doyle


This quote comes from The Valley of Fear, the fourth and last Sherlock Holmes novel. The line describes a Scotland Yard detective's affinity for Holmes; the detective, Alec MacDonald, arrives on the scene just in time to make a surprising revelation that concludes the book's first chapter. In the words of Watson, the situation was "one of those dramatic moments for which my friend [Holmes] existed."
