Quotes and Stuff
 

I know there is another thread that addresses this somewhere around here, but I can't find it right now.

Anyway, sometimes, you see a short statement that just really interests you, amuses you, makes you think, etc.

This is the one that I found yesterday:

"I wish my lawn was a 15 year old Goth chick, because then it would cut itself."

I've heard something similar to that,

"I wish my lawn was emo, so it could cut itself."

A bottom of the Cellar quote:

"I've discussed it with my husband, and we'll take the million."
- Marilu Henner, to Sting, on the Tonight Show 5/14/93


Does anyone know what that is referring to?

Gotta be a reference to Indecent Proposal, that movie where Demi Moore and Woody Harelson get $1M for Demi to spend the night with Robert Redford.

Marilu wants to hop into bed with Sting.

Oh yeah. That makes sense. :) thanks!

Marilu Henner would hop into bed with anyone for free.

huge whore. trust me. i had her.

I'd've hopped into bed with Sting for free, back in 1993.

'...history changes all the time. It is constantly being re-examined and re-evaluated, otherwise how would we be able to keep historians occupied? We can't possibly allow people with their sort of minds to walk around with time on their hands.'

Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgment. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style. In this particular life-style the motto is "Be happy now because tomorrow you are dying," but the dying begins almost at once, and the happiness is a memory. It is, then, only a speeding up, an intensifying, of the ordinary human existence. It is not different from your life-style, it is only faster. It all takes place in days or weeks or months instead of years. "Take the cash and let the credit go," as Villon said in 1460. But that is a mistake if the cash is a penny and the credit a whole lifetime.

I have had this quote pinned up on my desk since the mid-1980's, long before I worked at the nuthouse.

Interesting and I think true, but it all hinges on the phrase "drug misuse".

The misuse of drugs is bad for you? Well, of course it is, that is what misuse means.

Using a pound of dope for a doorstop, now, that's misuse.

??

why? how much dope does it take to stop a door anyhow?

Only one nice bud if positioned properly.

[BritAccent]It's depending on the door, now, innit?[/BritAccent]

Yes, dear.

I remember my Dad could imbue the word 'love' (as in, 'pass me that love', or 'listen love...') with an array of meanings with a slight difference in tone.

"You bastard" can be anything from a friendly greeting to a declaration of war, depending on tone and context.

Yeah. Similar here. Bastard can be a term of abuse or a friendly term.
