You Have A Good One

You Have A Good One

“You have a good one” is akin to saying “Have a Nice Day.”
Isn’t it ironic that “A Good One” is also a congratulatory phrase used when someone tells a “Good Joke?”

Men are most apt to believe what they least understand.
Quotation from Michel Eyquem, Of Cripples

Crap is Art

Crap is Art

“When you wet the bed, first it gets warm then it gets cold.” So says James Joyce. And this is true for everything: a man’s life, a mother’s love, worldly passion, weather, fashion, technology, war, a bird in the nest, a beating heart, milk on the floor, ball bearings, anger, the sun, a barking dog, ice cream, the sound of a hand moving through water, words, sulpher, the color blue.

You never know who will have the answers… but you must push to find the questions that need to be asked.
Quotation from Jason Manley

Hence art is indefinable. (Weitz, 1956)
Quotation from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

This girl is not a safe alternative to cigarettes

This girl is not a safe alternative to cigarettes

People should come with warning labels. “Use at your own risk.”

But I’m a creep, I’m a wierdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
She’s running out again.
She’s running.
She runs runs runs runs
Runs.
Lyric from Radiohead, Creep

The Fudder Pucket Apology

The Fudder Pucket Apology

One of the things I hated most as a child was being bullied to apologize. It wasn’t the apology itself that hurt, but the humiliation of being forced to apologize. Usually, the thing being apologized for was manufactured by my siblings; the alleged wrongdoing was done by me in self-defense. Almost always, when a “real” apology was needed, I would have apologized on my own.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
Quotation from P.G. Wodehouse, The Man Upstairs

The best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.
Quotation from John Milton
