Favorite Quotes/Lyrics/Poems:
Max: Fritz! Fritz, get up for God's sake! Get up! They've killed Fritz! They've killed Fritz! Those lousy stinking yellow fairies! Those horrible atrocity-filled vermin! Those despicable animal warmongers! They've killed Fritz! Take that! Take this! Take that, you green slime! You black hearted, short, bow-legged...
Fritz: Max! Max, I'm okay! I'm okay max. Just a scratch. Look I'm all right.
Max: Oh. Oh, damn. There you go again, stepping on my lines, raining on my parade, costing me medals. Oh, damn.
[Accidentally shoots Fritz]
Max: Ohh. Oh, Fritz? Fritz, get up for God's sake! Get up! They've killed Fritz! They've killed Fritz! Those lousy stinking yellow fairies! Those horrible atrocity-filled vermin! Take that! Take that! They killed Fritz!
-----Scene from the movie "Wizards"
Farva: Just cleaning out the old locker, she stinks like ass but I'll sure miss her... I guess you could say that about all my girls.
-----Scene from "Super Troopers"
Arthur Herk: [making an opinion on who might have shot his TV] I'll tell you who did it. It's probably some goddamn kids. 'Cause these goddamn kids today, they all got goddamn guns, and they're all sniffing glue!
Officer Monica Romero: Any additional insights, Mr. Herk? Any information can help us to protect you.
Arthur Herk: I seriously doubt that you or any other member of the police force in this town could protect their own dicks with both hands.
Officer Monica Romero: Thank you for that observation.
Officer Monica Romero: I'm not gonna arrest you, Matt, unless Mrs. Herk wants to press charges.
Anna Herk: Hey, kids.
Arthur Herk: I want to press charges! Cuff him!
Officer Monica Romero: My hands are kind of full right now, what with holding my dick and all.
-----Scene from "Big Trouble"
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
-----Lyrics from Pink Floyd "The Final Cut"
Lo! 'tis a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years.
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre to see
A play of hopes and fears
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.
Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly;
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their condor wings
Invisible Woe.
That motley drama--oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot;
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.
But see amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude:
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes--it writhes!--with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
Out--out are the lights--out all!
And over each quivering form
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, ``Man,''
And the hero, the Conqueror Worm.
-----"The Conqueror Worm" Edgar Allen Poe

Tool's video for sober is one of the most fascinating and creepy things I've ever seen on TV. Definitely a keeper song.
dllc: I've sometimes seen the women's response as, "Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Only if I feed him too much before bed."
I can't believe my city isn't in the list of places to visit!! I'm insulted!
*puts in a corner*
Danika, you live in Edmonton. It's not exactly high on the tourism list - not even with the Worst Edmonton Mall.
Kal: Just about everything Tool does is creepy on some level.
Jen: I got it from Kal, Duff and the Steph, I just forgot to give them credit. So, steal away.
Mossy & Jen: I wasn't thinking along those lines when I put that in there, it's my cat, but hell, even that can be turned into something dirty.
Dani: Sorry for the oversight. I really want to see all of Canada, but, realistically Toronto(Hockey HOF) and Vancouver(supposed to be one of the coolest cities on the planet) are the two places I want to see first.
Penny: Insult to injury. tsk tsk. ;)
That most 'humiliating moment' is the one of the saddest things I've ever heard.
Thinking about stealing this too.
I think I'll use this on one of my non creative days.
Erika: That was the worst feeling I ever had. The fact that all those people were sitting there staring at me and I couldn't say or do anything but cry made it humiliating.
ltlme: That is what I did.
Lar- about the ex-wife (subsitute "wife" with "whore" where appropriate), I still don't understand why there wasn't killing involved. It's bad enough that she is a whore, but she made you cry in public, that's grounds for killing by itself. I hope that one day I'll convince you to go with what i call my "Ultimate Solution."
Penny Shagwell- Nice pic, It makes you look really hott.
I don't know either of you really, (Larry or the ex-wife), but after that, I'm with Nickelplate, she deserves to die.
I've only cryed 3 times in session, but if we were in session, I might have lost it. (In my defense though, only if you started crying first). Damn that's just really sad!
Larry & Danika: I'm humbled - didn't meant to add insult to injury - sawry. I would say, though, that the only reason you need to visit Edmonton would be to meet up with Danika.
Nickle: thanks.
As for ex-spouses, I'd say they all deserve to die, but since I am one...(though not a nasty, cruel, viscious or whore one).

Dani: I'm sure Larry would love to visit Edmonton, but he can't exactly come out and say that you're his sole reason for visiting, can he?
Sure he could! Don't think she'd mind that at all!
btw - Other than the Billy Joel song, I didn't recognize any of your selections.
I feel too fucking old.
This was nice, got to learn a lot about you. I think I may snag it too if you don't mind.
Brad: The crying in public wasn't the really jumiliating part. It was all those looks of pity(I don't mind sympathy, pity I loath)
Erika: I only cried then cuz I was lost and used and hurt and had no idea what I was going to do with myself or my life. Now I realize it is one of the best things that could have happened.
P-Shag & Callie: I just can't come out and say it. I'm shy, and that seems a bit forward.
Mossy: Exactly
Callie: I forgive you. ;)
Alex: go for it I got it from quite a few people(Kal, Duff, Steph)
Larry, you can tell dani you wanna visit her. Hell, if I was single I would'nt wait as long as you have. Believe me. Being shy is sweet in grade school, but as a man it sucks. Ya snooze, ya loose. She is definately a keeper.
sounds like lowk is getting all "chuck woolery" on us.....
Larry did you sing the post title when you typed it? Just wondering.
lowk: If it's not meant to be...
duff: welcome back
erika: Of course.
stc: it's all yours
i haven't seen "the conqueror worm" before.....but i dig it. (no pun intended....well, maybe a little one)
i've always been a poe fan, though. "el dorado" is my favorite of his poems.
I love this one, annabel lee, and of course the raven. I also love his stories.
having lived in baltimore, isn't it required to love poe?
pretty much. we even went to a performance of his works in downtown baltimore (in honor of his birthday) when we were younger......
i wrote countless papers on poe in college.
But have you ever seen poe's home in Philly?
nope- volunteering to take me on a tour?
Sure, I never did anything but drive by, but, next time I'm in Philly I'll let you know.
whoa- in that case, happy belated father's day, larry.
*snickering*
Pammy: when did you have a kid? With who? And don't you already call me Daddy?
Duff: Thanks. :P
Pammy, I have been waiting for you to join the blogosphere.
