Quote or phrase of the day

[Paulie Dangerously]

They sound very wise. Also sounds like they have a big penis too.

 

I heard that their commitment to this philosophy is so total they don't even mind being negged

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I heard that their commitment to this philosophy is so total they don't even mind being negged

 

With a calm outlook on life and a huge penis, I doubt they'd even care about such frivolous things.

[Kevin D]

The main thing is, we had to get it on the air. We didn't really refer to the penis, we called it "it"...And I'm having these erotic conversations with the censors, on the telephone. I'm going "well I need the "5 breasts" and they're saying "well I can't give you the 5 breasts, but I can give you 3 breasts" and "What about the penises?", "Well I can only give you 1 penis". And so, I'm beginning to have these sexual fantasies about the censor, who I'm conversing with every week about this kind of material.

I arrived last night at the University of Arizona for my event with Edward Snowden and Noam Chomsky. Chomsky arrived shortly after I did and, after I greeted him, the following dialogue ensued:

 

Chomsky: You know, there's this interesting essay by Albert Camus, written during his first visit to the United States, in which he described his surprise at what he regarded as the poor clothing taste of Americans, particularly men's choices of ties.

 

Me (slightly confused): Are you sharing that anecdote because you dislike my tie?

 

Chomsky: Yes.

 

That's how you receive a fashion critique from the world's greatest public intellectual.

One of the very few quotes I repeatedly use is a Spike Milligan one:-

Pyle had been silent a long while, and I had nothing more to say. Indeed I had said too much already. He looked white and beaten and ready to faint, and I thought, "What's the good? he'll always be innocent, you can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity."

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Marilyn Monroe was asked about some nude pictures she had taken for a calendar.

He is the ultimate truth machine in there. Can you stand in there with him? Can you take his shots? Can you keep him from walking you down? Do you get discouraged when you hit him with your best shot and he keeps coming?

[Jairzinho]

"There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush". It is enough to make one ashamed of the species."

Fuck normal. Fuck normal. There is no normal. Normal’s a lie. Normal’s a lock gate, a wall, a prison. Normal is a fascistic sentiment and one that prevailed within the American experiment for far too long. Indeed today in this country we are witnessing the last retrograde and reactionary assertion for whatever normal is supposed to be... None of us are normal—Black, white, brown, Jew, Gentile, Muslim, atheist, Satanist, gay, straight, bi, transgender, whatever. The more honestly you assess all the varied allegiances, motivations, and impulses that cause human beings to get up in the morning and face the world and each other, the more you know that none of us is close to normal. Conjure even the known secrets of yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbors and realize how ridiculous the very idea of normal is. Hell, if you find anyone with political and social opinions that soothe, someone without racial or religious idiosyncrasy, someone without sexuality that veers from the strict heterogenous application of the lights off missionary position, someone with 2.1 kids and a two-car garage and un-rusted lawn furniture on the manicured patio of their split-level rancher, I will argue that nothing’s more fucking abnormal than that. All of us are at least two standard deviations from the mean. If you think you’re not, it’s probably time to reflect on the grievous possibility of an un-lived life.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
