I have an interest in what people say. It gives me pause sometimes when some stranger is quoted something they had said that seems to ring true. How about putting down something somebody else supposedly said that seems to ring true with you...
"We’re all going to die.
All of us,
what a circus!
That alone should make us
Love each other but, it doesn’t.
We are terrorized
and flattened by trivialities,
we are eaten up
by nothing."
-Charles Bukoski
I've invented 2 words that I hope make it into the dictionary.
The first is askaholic. This is someone who badgers you with questions hoping to catch you in a mistake or unable to answer. For example:
Who sang Peggy Sue?
Buddy Holly
What was the name of his band?
The Crickets
What was the name of his guitarist?
Wayon Jennings
How old was Waylon's mom when she lost her viginity?
Askaholic
The second word is Yahbutthead. This is someone who responds to everything you say with "Yah, but . . . . ." for example:
It's 120 in Phoenix today
Yah, but it's a dry heat
It's 70 in Iowa today
Yah, but it's humid
It's a beautiful day today
Yah, but it's gonna rain tomorrow
I'd like to kick everyone who says 'yah, but' right in the ass
Yah, but what can you do?
Yahbutthead
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate.
-- Tom Lehrer
"Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirirt. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him"
Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.
