"Sex without love is an empty gesture. But as empty gestures go, it is one of the best." Woody Allen, quoted on Aphorisms Galore. Kiss the next 15 minutes bye-bye.

Woody Allen, again: "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym."

"The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense." Tom Clancy {Category: Art and Literature} very true indeed.

So, I said t' the doctor, "Hey, I want a second opinion!" He said, "You're ugly, too!" It seems that nature, having taken such wise care to fit the organs of our body for our happiness and convenience, gave us also pride, to spare us the pain of knowing our own imperfections. François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld "nature, having taken such wise care to fit the organs of our body for our happiness and convenience" I'm guessing that, in the French, it's more obvious he's talking about us not being able to see our own assholes... And speaking of guessing, guess what one of the first things a chimpanzee does when given a mirror for the first time? R-i-ight... Deal with it. And Tom Clancy has nothing to do with either art or literature: Discuss. Apres moi, le Kafkaesque. If I were Karl Kraus, I'd make a crack about Kakaesque because if I were Karl Kraus, I'd have a thing about using the word kaka but it's untrue in his--Kafkaesque's--case plus it's too darn tangential.or whatever... And what are the rules for using -esque anyway? Ditto: Metafilterians or Metafilterrans?

I thought those who couldn't teach gym became principals.
