Quotations
Oct. 22nd, 2003 11:01 pmSo I just watched "Angel" (check out our eponymous hero with the humanity points loss) and ate a dinner that included so-called "California Rice Trilogy," which sounds like it should be an award-winning motion picture about three generations of Japanese-American women or something, but is, in fact, rice.
I have done important work today, like making sure I have properly spooky icons on my OS X desktop and reading through old e-mail. As a result of the latter,
amberspyglass-like, I will share with you some lines, some up to a decade old.
------
"This much is true--I have neither met nor heard of a single lesbian feminist who was not a woman."
The following was the entire text of the message:
"'delphako-omai' - to grow up to pighood --- daphne"
"She could feel THEM coming, the sensation of cold linguini being rubbed in her armpits."
"The first penguin says, 'You know, it looks like you're wearing a tuxedo.' And the second penguin smiles and says, 'Maybe I am.'"
"...you, Dave, may be a perfect blend of good and evil, but it doesn't do you any good when you are a powerless nothing."
"Of course you all know that I meant PLATE tectonics."
"Drop that obsidian, punk!"
"Have fun in Greek composition. I never realized that that was taught anymore."
Reporting a student essay:
I have just learned that "Rome was a fun place, that's why it lasted so long."
Likewise:
"Euripides showed that men can be reasonable and women are going to get you
if you hurt them first."
"Labor omnia vincit, etiam me."
"I have not yet all gegrokked."
"Thus, taking one element from each list, you could write about, 'Phallocentric Hermeneutics in the wives of Pliny.' Or even 'The Marxist Pastiche in the poetry of the Elgin Marbles.' I believe all of this is suitable material."
"Tang is King--or at least orange and fruity."
