Dear Reader's Digest quotable quotes...

I found this one last night:

Marlon Brando says...
"I'm not fat by nature. I got fat mostly because I loved
brownies, ice cream and everything else that makes you fat.
One reason for this, I suspect, is that when I was a kid,
I'd come home to find my mother gone and dishes in the
sink. I'd feel low and open the icebox, and there would be
an apple pie, along with some cheese, and the pie would
say: 'C'mon, Marlon, take me out. I'm freezing in here. Be
a pal and take me out, and bring out Charlie Cheese too.'
Then I'd feel less lonely."

This one is from Canoe, this morning.

Shirley Manson says...
"[Butch Vig] is Mr. Consistent, he's always the same, neither up nor down; he's a real sweetheart. But the three of us are up and down like a bride's nightie."

Oh internets, I heart u.

Mitchell Hedberg

"I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwhiches? All-encompassingly..."

The other person in the world who thinks that way about words is dead. That's a sad thing.

just before I forget...

I always forget that the answer is 42. So in case I forget again, here it is, forever enshrined.

The meaning of life is 42.

Now I can make smartass remarks in relative comfort. Ahhh.

The coolest phrase in the world.

Recently I was cataloguing my DVD collection, and I wrote the sentence that I've since realised is probably the coolest one in the world. Or at least, it's as cool as a sentence can be. Here it is:

"Steve McQueen evades Nazis on a motorbike."

It's possible I'm just not that imaginative. But if it gets cooler than that, maybe I don't want to know about it. The results might just blow my mind.
