"Greg was technically the boss, who could give them orders if he wanted to, but Greg was one of the paranoid three, and preferred no contact with other human beings at all."



That was from the Parker novel "Firebreak". How you picked the one page that DIDN'T have Parker killing someone is awesome. Almost as awesome as the fact that MY name is Greg.

But thankfully that sentence does NOT explain MY love life!

"Rusher stood, tapping vainly on the comlink."

oh how exciting... that's a book on Microsoft Access

and it has only 172 pages...

"strangers to these shores" 8th ed pg. 206...

(since it started mid sentence i went to the first

sentence started BUT either fits quite well...)

"Such a mental picture is not difficult to construct."

this is the sentence that finished on this page:

"...it is over run by these european "misfits"

who exhibit little appreciation for the national

values and the democratic principles of the united

states."

If it continues from page 205, does that count? Anyhoo, here we go (translated from Dutch): 205: The Bhagwan said: "We're like a pink cloud coming from nowhere and going nowhere"and (206) he had stolen that from some other Buddhist weirdo.

Life is like a thundercloud from which at the best of times, it rains frogs.

The book is Paranoia Paraguay, first on my shelf because the writer's name starts with an A: Arthur van Amerongen. [Edited 1/16/17 6:15am] [Edited 1/16/17 6:16am]

If that ever happens and you need help, call me. I'm your man when it comes to frog removal.

me too!

The movie was great. The TV show is worse than Charles in Charge.

Tried it again while sitting here at work with a book I'm carrying in my purse.



pg 206 has nothing but one line. "Fallacious reasoning can produce conclusions, just as, even though it is not a reliable timepiece, a broken clock tells the right time twice a day."

just happen to be near orwells 1984......

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers....the first complete sentence on pg 206 says "How should I?"

and yet the phrase will linger on in our language, puzzling people of the digital age in much the same way as the words 'hoist with his own petard" do to folk today
