"I like soccer because there
are no time outs, so the only way players can catch their breath
is to sustain a major injury, which some of them are very good at.
A guy will get bumped by another player, or a beam of sunlight,
and he'll hurl himself dramatically to the ground, writhing and
clutching his leg (not necessarily the leg that got bumped) and
screaming that the referee should get a priest out there to administer
the last rites, or at least call a foul. The referee generally ignores
the player, who, after a while, gets up and continues playing. Some
players suffer four or five fatal injuries per game. That's how
tough they are."

"The True Gentleman is the man
whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety,
and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not
make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his
obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself
humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not
flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions
or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity
and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights
and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well
in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."
-John Walter Wayland
"As I sat in the supermarket
office and waited for the cops to arrive, a thought came to me.
Maybe when they say "No purchase necessary," it's like
some kind of code or something, and you're not supposed to dump
cereal all over the aisle to get the prize. Maybe if they hadn't
taken away my little "Crunch-Berry Decoder," I could have
figured it out."

"Once I was in this big department
store, and I thought I heard subliminal messages in the muzak broadcast
telling me to buy a stereo- but I ignored them. Then they told me
to buy a new fridge- but I ignored them. Then they told me to go
to the pet department and stuff my socks with gerbils. Well, even
the strongest man has a weakness."
~Fodstad
"It's like carbonated cancer."
~Badle of Sprite remix.
"Love is a temporary madness.
It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides
you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots
have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you
should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of
eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any
of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left
over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art
and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots
that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty
blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one
tree and not two."
