General Macarthur (USA) during the
Korean War...

"We are here to kick the Mongol horde out of Asia"

(the 'Fake War' between USSR & USA - to push the yellow and brown races out of the Northern Hemisphere and to make it all 'white' like yin/yang)

Obviously it didn't work and now China & Islam are gonna be like the Wrath of Khan to get back what they lost! Wink

I could get the "(Ȝ)give (þ)thy cunte to cunnig(cunning, wisdom)" and the obvious "affetir wedding" but not the craue so had to google it.

Charles Bukowski

He was paraphrasing Yates:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Interesting if you look at the world today and see who are full of passionate conviction and those that watch what is happening without enough conviction to stop it.

I know - I know... I took $2 and pulled a $198 jackpot once - the ex got it for travel money... oh, well... it's all into a common pot for the best use to benefit all... (counts money available for back week case of beer...)

Been out all day yesterday doing fire victim relief, and then today up to where the ex's daughter is moving in soon, to cut the grass and look over the jobs that need doing before she does... I'm tired...

Jim Morrison quotes:

There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.

I am the lizard king. I can do anything.

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Where's your will to be weird?

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Love cannot save you from your own fate.

This is the strangest life I've ever known.

No one here gets out alive.
