Very funny
Chris Locke (aka RageBoy)

Funnier than Dave Barry

Can't talk. Laughing. Your blog should come with a warning!
Steve

The witty fecker! Bless his heart!
Savannah

Wonderful, quirky, weird.
I'd recommend that you visit Expat@Large,

A true poet

Comprehensive and varied...
A beacon in a sea of mediocrity...
An inspiration to pointless bloggers everywhere...

that irreverant sense of balance between the absurb and the important that E@L seems to pull off effortlessly...
Skippy

Expat, you’re absolutely lovely.
VPS

You are so humorist!

E@L is on the heavy side and [surely he means "but": Ed] he's one of the smartest, most decent guys I've ever met. Plus he's rich!
Milos

One of my favorite reads...

Self-indulgent drivel
Bruce (circa 1979) but it still holds true

I think I was too lenient when you were young

Apt Quote:

On the Internet, everyone will be famous for 15 people."
Dave Weinberger

Didn't think he meant 15 people per week...

Since 21 June 2005

CHESS anyone?

(Challenge "shallowthought"... That'd be me.)

QUOTES

We don't need to see anything out of the ordinary. We already see so much.
Robert Walser

One should, each day, try to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it is possible, speak a few reasonable words.
Goethe

Don't lie if you don't have to.

Assume infinite intelligence and zero prior knowledge.
Leo Szilard

...if I can be allowed a mediocre generalization, don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life and it'd lose even its imperfection.
Haruki Murakami
Sputnik Sweetheart

The truth is scandalous. But without it, nothing has any worth. An honest and naive vision of the world is already a masterpiece... As you approach the truth, your solitude will increase.
Michel Houellebecq

And if a man lived in obscurity making his friends in that obscurity, obscurity is not uninteresting.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

My only job is to be talented.
Anton Chekhov

Boredom, of course, like any mighty force, you must respect.
Saul Bellow

He often made great mistakes and arrived at false conclusions, still he had so much genius and knowledge that a great part of his work will always remain true.
Arabella Buckley, of French naturalist George-Louis LeClerc, Comte de Buffon, Intendant (Administrator) of Les Jardins des Plants, anticipator of Darwin and Lyell

It is only kings, and the nobility, and those fortunates who dwell in the tropics, where bread grows on trees and clothing is unnecessary, who have reserved seats in this world.
Charles Dudley Warner (from an address to the Alumni of Hamilton College, NY, 1872)

"I may not agree with what you say but to your death I will defend your right to say it."
Voltaire

"I may not agree with what you say so shut the fuck up you fucking fuck."
No-one will admit to this one, but I have my suspicions.

Spike In Town

HongkieTown's Spike is in town for unbloggable, indubitably nefarious reasons this weekend and a few of us will be catching up for drinks and to compare spell-checking software and discuss whether Facebook truly means the Death of Blogs, tomorrow, somewhere, sometime...

No-one seems to be able to make a decision about the details though. Maybe we'll all just wander around and hope to bump into each other through some random coincidence.

If you have my number, call and offer suggestions.

Staying (or getting) up to watch the Rugby World Cup????

Your sporting taste has turned to shit! Then again, it's waht you can get I suppose :-)
