Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Once upon a time many, many years ago I was gifted - nay! blessed! - with a bit of advice.









It was the best advice that I've ever been given. Ever.









And I'm going to pass that advice on to you.









It's bound to be the best advice that you've ever been given. Ever.









In fact, once I've given you this advice, you'll never, ever need to be given advice ever again. Ever.









In fact, the next time someone tries to give you advice, you can justifiably say "No, kind sir, I don't need your advice! For GATE-keeper has already given me the best advice ever!"









Here is my thought for the day:




Oz




never did




give nothin' to the Tin Man




that he didn't,




didn't already have.





[Yes, there are supposed to be two "didn't"s in there. The next part is some indecipherable bit referencing Sir Galahad. I guess I should use that new-fangled Innerwebby thingy to figure that part out.]

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most.

That people are basically good;
that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything;
that power and money, money and power mean nothing;
that good always triumphs over evil;
and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies.

You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

"All right, I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that'll burn your house down!" - Cave Johnson

It actually means speech intended to flatter or entice but it's a pretty archaic word.

Let's try it!

Tall oaks form little acorns grow in bed.

Bless the mind too small for doubt in bed.

It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself in bed.

Innocence proves nothing in bed.

Some men just want to watch the world burn in bed.

Wear sunscreen in bed.

Bob Dole in bed.

Money can be exchanged for good and services in bed.

The ability to get up after a defeat is far more admirable than the ability to never lose in bed.
