    I don't really see either one, at least in that picture of Lou Reed. Maybe more Vincent Schiavelli:

    'Finger-licking shit monkey, donkey-blowing motherfucker' is my new favorite insult. (check YouTube for 'say my age').

    Just now. Working on non-fiction that required some quoting from a PDF of Darwin's Origin of species. Just notes as I do my first read through.

    I come to find that MS word has worse problems with Mr. Darwin's grammar than it has with mine.:D

    In very interesting ways. I had to go back and reread one paragraph that I didn't retain the content because I was too focused on the nineteenth century prose.

    I do find it rather interesting how we all perceive looks and likenesses differently. When I think two people look alike, I can never understand why others don’t. And that’s not from an arrogant standpoint, it’s simply a genuine wonderment as to why others don’t see what I do. Kind of makes me wonder if the green of grass that I see is the same green others see. Or if the way coffee tastes to me is how it tastes to others. Things we can’t possibly know. I mean, how do you explain the yellow of a banana? For all I know, if I looked at a banana, processed through someone else’s eyes, I may well see it as blue.

    Thou wicked varlet.

    You starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish.

    You three-inch fool.


    Thou leathern-jerkin, crystal-button, knot-pated, agatering, puke-stocking, caddis-garter, smooth-tongue, Spanish pouch!

    I lack the equipment necessary for carnal knowledge of revolving crullers, even if I could manage to attain the heights needed to overtake the same.

    Unable to sleep last night, I decided to work out what the year would have been on the day Christ was born, if someone had been counting from the day Earth was formed (and yes I do see the paradox). Anyway, it would have been the year 4, 499, 997, 978 (approximately).

    That would depend on your beliefs, but in that my figure could well be out by thousands if not millions of years, I’m not sure we need concern ourself with the month.
