Well, that reminds me of something Mohandas K. Gandhi once said: "Some people are so hungry that God can only appear to them in the form of bread." And then there's John Prine, who sang: "Father, forgive us for what we must do You forgive us, and we'll forgive you And we'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue And we'll whistle and go fishin' in Heaven."
...Said the Emperor, who was probably lying naked on a bed next to his three concubines, eating off a platter held by one of his servants/slaves... and was saying it to his son that he was probably just about to execute.
And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art. I'm serious. Husband runs off with a politician? Make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor? Make good art. IRS on your trail? Make good art. Cat exploded? Make good art. Somebody on the Internet thinks what you do is stupid or evil or it's all been done before? Make good art. Probably things will work out somehow, and eventually time will take the sting away, but that doesn't matter. Do what only you do best. Make good art. Make it on the good days too. - Neil Gaiman
"But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them." ~Christopher Columbus
"Success has many fathers, and even more lawyers." --Chuck Lorre, from a Big Bang Theory vanity card.
Quoted in tandem, upon hearing that John Lewis is dead: “The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win… And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.” --Molly Ivins
Just encountered this one from Jules Verne: “Now when an American has an idea, he directly seeks a second American to share it. If there be three, they elect a president and two secretaries. Given four, they name a keeper of records, and the office is ready for work; five, they convene a general meeting, and the club is fully constituted.”
Let me find a couple more guys—we'll declare that illegal and arrest you. ... And let me ask you something. How many Americans are on the mod team, compared to British? Hmmmm?
Two and a half Americans, one Englishman, and a woman who is 125% Scottish, 50% American, and I believe 0% British ETA: Komposten is our Technical Admin, but under your question he's neither fish nor fowl.
Ok, I obviously missed something. Jannert is the 125% Scottish, 50% American woman. Moose is English. I thought you were English too? Originally I mean. Maybe it's the name, it sounds as English as it's possible to get, but I recall Wrey said you were a Marine. I guess the way you talk about Americans made me think you must be English. They hate Americans, they hate the French, the Scottish... I think they hate everybody, don't they? Especially English with different dialects . And EF Mingo would be American. I must be forgetting somebody. Can't think of any other mods, but I think I missed one.
