Raithe Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 "All my bullets have someone's name on them. To save time, I simply label each one 'Spaz'." "Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." - HK-47 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

A shame you can't recall where you heard it. Well I've found variations on the "A Conservative is a Liberal who's been raped" in assorted books (fictional and non) that have been published throughout the 20th century going back to early pulp novels.... So it's probably one of those "universal lines" that's emerged somewhere... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
theslug Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I saw this great quote on fourchon last night. It's my new inspiration in the gym. "I never admitted it to anyone but every time I go to the gym all I think about when I feel like I can't go any longer is "Batman could. Batman WOULD." and then I keep going." There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

Walsingham Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I had to copy this out by hand, rather than copy paste, so have a read: The 71st Infantry Division was attacking on all sides the grain stores which were being defended by the Russian soldiers. After three days the defenders sent a radio message to their commanders...'We have no food' The answer was 'Fight, then you will forget your hunger.' Three days later they transmitted again: 'We no longer have anything to drink, what are we to do?' And back came the reply: 'Now is the time to live on your wits and your ammunition' The defenders waited for two days and then came the last message. 'We no longer have any ammunition'. Hardly five minutes had passed and they had their reply: 'The Soviet Union thanks you, you have served your purpose.' Quoted in 'Hero or Coward' by Elmar Dinter. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
