"Don't make me throw my D20 at you"
"Bacon: Nature's Salad"
"If all sacred places are spared the ravages of war,
then make all places sacred,
and if the holy people are to be kept harmless from the war,
then make all people holy"
-Silver Surfer
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, unless your enemy wants to eat you."
- Zach Parsons, quite possibly the smartest political mind on the Intarweb
As man advances in civilization, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races."
- The Descent of Man, 1871, Charles Darwin
"That just goes to show never stick your dick in a pudding. It might still be good pudding, and you can spend all afternoon explaining that, but no ones going to eat it because you stuck your dick in it!"
- Yahtzee, Zero Punctuation review
For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer! At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due: — it will want to rule and possess, and you with it!
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.
-Woody Allen
"Oh, say it ain't so, Joe!"
-Sarah Palin
"All assassins had a full-length mirror in thier rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you are badly dressed."
"Teppic paused alongside a particularly repulsive gargoyle to consider his options. Fairly solid classroom rumor said that if he inhumed his examiner before the test, that was an automatic pass. He slipped a Number Three throwing knife from its thigh sheath and hefted it thoughfully. Of course, any attempt, any overt move which missed would attract immediate failure and loss of priveledges*
*Breathing, for a start"
"He speeded up, enjoying the coolness on his face, and leapt accurately off the end of the roof onto the narrow plank bridge that led across Tinlid Alley. And which someone, in defiance of all probability, had removed. At times like this one's past life flashes before one's eyes..."

Heh. Good to see there's another QC fan out there."No, no, don't cry! Baby seals are jerks, they deserve to be eaten. They're all horribly racist! And they think Hitler was a pretty okay dude! And if there's one thing killer whales hate, it's Nazis."

I'm a webcomic addict. I'm a big fan of QC, Weregeek, xkcd, Kevin's Journal Comic, and, of course, Order of the Stick.

Oh, don't get me started on Addict. i just culled through my webcomic folder on monday, and it turns out that I read approximately 85 differant webcomics. and out of those, I think there are only 3 or 4 that I havn't read the entire archive for.
...you know, after reading that, i realized it's not something I should be proud of...oh well. some people do sports statistics, I do webcomics and 90s sitcoms.
I'll post a list if you're curious.

The last thing I need is another addiction- right now, with playing music, listening to music, D&D, work, my art projects, books, webcomics, regular comics, Stargate Atlantis, I barely even have time to SLEEP.

heh. Sounds about right. bare in mind that you are saved only by the shear amount of work that would have to be done to properly link and rename all of them, and my desire to screw with you is surpassed only by my laziness.
I will however mention that I just read through the Casey and Andy Archives (It's done and not ongoing), and am currently enjoying Gunnerkrigg Court. Has a very "Sharn" feel to it I find.

Hannelore - "You mean you DON'T have morbid thoughts sometimes?
Dora - "Define 'morbid'."
Hannelore - "Like, when we were walking down the street, I could have pushed Marten into traffic and hit you over the head with that loose brick you tripped over."
Dora - "Hanners, I know you think... differently than most people, but that's honestly just disturbing."
Hannelore - "Why? Just because I THINK something doesn't mean that I'd DO it."
Marten - "Look at it this way, I coult TOTALLY smash you in the face with this coffee mug. How would that make YOU feel?"
Hannelore - "Well... I could dodge your swing and throw the tip jar in your face."
Marten - "Then I could block the flying coins with my arm and throw you across the counter."
Hannelore - "But that's what I was PLANNING on! I grab the broadsword from under the counter and swing at your head!"
Marten - "I BLOCK the sword with a stool and the blade sticks in the wood."
Hannelore - "I let go of the sword and push you backwards. You trip and fall!"
Marten - "I somersault to my feet and brandish a mop I found in the corner!"
Dora - "I cast magic missile, killing you both. I gain 120 experience points and 25 gold."

I needed a drink. I needed a lot of life insurance. I needed a vacation. I needed a home in the country. What I had was a hat, a coat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room.
-Raymond Chandler
When I got home I mixed a stiff one and stood by the open window in the living room and sipped it and listened to the groundswell of traffic on Lauren Canyon Boulevard and looked at the glare of the big angry city hanging over the shoulder of the hills through which the boulevard had been cut. Far off the banshee wail of police or fire sirens rose and fell, never for very long completely silent. Twenty four hours a day somebody is running, somebody else is trying to catch him. Out there in the night of a thousand crimes, people were dying, being maimed, cut by flying glass, crushed against steering wheels or under heavy tires. People were being beaten, robbed, strangled, raped, and murdered. People were hungry, sick; bored, desperate with loneliness or remorse or fear, angry, cruel, feverish, shaken by sobs. A city no worse than others, a city rich and vigorous and full of pride, a city lost and beaten and full of emptiness. It all depends on where you sit and what your own private score is. I didn't have one. I didn't care. I finished the drink and went to bed.
-Raymond Chandler

This one has got around. This is how I learned it:
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil cuz I scare the f+!& out of evil."
I like the 'Nam version a little better.
I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
