  1. One time, my dad came home from work bragging that he'd edited the Wikipedia article on lemons. He had made it say that lemons contain 2 tbsps of juice instead of 3....not because he is a brave crusader in the fight against lemon misinformation....just to fuck with people. Because the article was right to begin with. Mm-hm. Just shook my head and fixed that shit. My dad says that I should never get my information from Wikipedia...yeah, because of whack dudes like you!

     

    (Sorry dad, I know you read this stuff)

  2. First of all, Preludes and Nocturnes is probably the least representative volume of Sandman as a whole (Gaiman was still feeling his way with the characters and yada yada).

     

    It's one of my favorite series ever, but that's in large part due to the fact that I got into it so young. If I was reading it for the first time as the disaffected youth that I am now, I can't say how I'd feel about it. So much of my love for it is intrinsic to that dusty nostalgic feeling.

  3. Wrote this one day on a sweet after-high:

     

    Let the phoenix rise, and descend as ashes

    This the sermon on the mount, words spoken to the masses

    Spit rhymes so hot, flames dance on my tongue

    Come let me lick you with it, enjoy yourself while you're young

    Gray ashes in the bowl, so we blaze up an L

    So high, is this how Lucifer felt before he fell?

    Poor guy, used to live it up in the Silver City

    Meant to hate him, but the most I can muster is pity

    But all that goes up, y'know it's gotta come down

    Like how today's metropolis is tomorrow's ghost town

     

    I'm quick on the uptake, that's why I cough so hard

    One hit from your glass pipe and I leave it in shards

    Up, up and away, I glimpse the pearly gates

    But before I can enter the heavenly glow abates

    Like Dante, I've always had my own vision of hell

    It's like hotboxing the world's worst L

    Stems jut through and seeds burst within

    While the damned sit around and sweat out their sins

    But all that goes up, y'know it's gotta come down

    It's like a bird can't float away but a fish can drown

     

    And you can trace the tear stains right back to the Flood

    Cuz the tears stained the pavement much darker than the blood

    The pull of gravity plunges me into the Abyss

    Teased with a taste of that heavenly bliss

    I awake in the Pit, all amongst the rotten dead

    An angel pisses from a cloud and it drips down on my head

    Gon' be down here for a while, might as well make some friends

    Find some closure if I can and tie up some loose ends

    Cuz all that goes up, y'know it's gotta come down

    Like the phoenix, or a smile that turns into a frown

  4. I just finished vol. 18 and just when I thought I've seen all that this creator can throw at me, he goes and blows my mind... again!
    Yes. The Conviction arc is my absolute favorite: the introduction of Farnese, the cruel inquisition, Casca taken in by prostitutes, Guts as savior of the people...gotta love it.

     

    So, for anyone who happens to be up to date on the bootlegs, have

    Guts and co. reached Elf Hell yet?

    (Last I remember, he and Zodd were teaming up to fight one of Ganishka's swamis or something).

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you, private?

    Private Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.

     

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy dog shit. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?

     

    Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?

    Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?

    Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?

    Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.

    Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?

    Private Joker: No, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.

    Private Joker: Yes, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.

    Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: The what?

    Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?

    Private Joker: Our side, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Don't you love your country?

    Private Joker: Yes, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?

    Private Joker: Yes, sir.

    Pogue Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.

    Private Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

     

    Private Joker: My thoughts drift back to erect nipple wet dreams about Mary Jane Rottencrotch and the Great Homecoming Fuck Fantasy. I am so happy that I am alive, in one piece and short. I'm in a world of shit... yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid.

  6. Kudos, I get ya on the Tulip thing. Scarlett may be a bit too subdued to play Tulip...but I'm biased towards her cuz she rocks my fuckin' world. Originally I thought a younger Carrie-Anne Moss with dyed hair could pull it off, but no one at the Divinity seemed to agree.
