"During a recitation by their Poet Master Gunthos the Flatulent of his poem 'Ode To a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning' four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off."

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Well i guess im tempted to gnaw off one of my own legs everytime i hear crap artist of our day talk about their 'poetic art' in their crappy songs, or just hear them on the radio

This applies perfectly to my life at the moment.

"Through the little occasions for helpfulness, we are training for the great trial, if it should ever come, when the fabric of friendship will be tested to the very foundation."

From "Friendship", by Hugh Black

you'd better stay here and see that he doesn't drown in his own bile, and if he gets to noisy just give him a pail of water in his face.

Human reason can always find the "pros and cons" for good and for bad actions alike; it is inherently disloyal.

from the script for the next show I am rehearsing for:

LUKE SKYWALKER: But Ben told me to use the Force!

applied to my own life, it surely means I should be learning my lines, since this is one of mine.

Simply eat enough food while performing the workouts in this book, and you will gain weight.



King, Ian (2004) The Book of Muscle, Rodale Inc., New York, NY

How it applies: I need to loose weight--not gain it.

page 50 is... blank!


what does this say about my life???

"it was the last dream i had in what i now think of as my manderlay series,the culminating dream."

bag of bones - stephen king (1998)

i dont need sleep

"He pointed to the last gash that the axe had made in the tree trunk."

It's from a book of short stories by Roald Dahl.

errmmm...I'm not in the habit of chopping down trees, so it doesn't apply.

"The storage of massive quantities of data, amplified with every use of a credit card and virtually each act of purchase, results according to [Mark] Poster in a 'superpanopticon' - but a Panopticon with a difference: the surveilled, supplying the data for storage, are prime - and willing - factors in the surveillance."
Zygmunt Bauman - Globalization: The Human Consequences

It means from now on I'm only paying cash, and I'm not taking part in any more market research!

I love that book.

What a silly thread..

I only have one sentence on page 50

"This book was printed with the kind permission of those who have contributed to show that this self-help approach can work with many anxiety disorders."

'A picnic table outside one of the shacks has a couple of half-emty glasses on it.'

It certainly tells the story of 'half-empty/half-full'. My life right now feels a bit empty now.
