My latest is a William Ernest Henley's poem, the Invictus :

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul".

But i found out that it was also favorite to a  Timothy McVeigh guy, which makes me ...

I liked Twilight.

If it was the movie, you can be forgiven still, considering it was so much better than the book.

So very difficult to choose just one. So I won't.

But starting a series with the second book is not civilized behavior, and people who do it go to the special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater.

Make your swords become like things unto chainsaws.

Hallways: a user's guide for getting the **** out of my way.

At least 1 in 3 people chosen at random will necessarily be "African American," even though only 13% of the US population is black.

"Okay," said John, taking a deep breath. "Remember, these are children. Aim low."

The group might have either pursued him or raised their rifles to perforate his windshield, had a gorilla riding a giant crab not leapt out of the woods and eaten two of them.



You heard me.

I liked Twilight.

If it was the movie, you can be forgiven still, considering it was so much better than the book.

The fact that you saw/read either one should earn you an immense amount of scorn up-front.

Niven's First Law - Never throw **** at an armed man.
Niven's Second Law - Never stand next to someone throwing **** at an armed man.

[Retsof]

Niven?.... I need to read The Draco Tavern agian.

Niven's First Law - Never throw **** at an armed man.
Niven's Second Law - Never stand next to someone throwing **** at an armed man.

I always preferred the Kzinti Lesson, personally.

Well, that and the First Law of Supraluminal Travel. (Otherwise known as the Relativistic Kill Vehicle Law.)

I thought of a few more.

"War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy."

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. If they won't let you, kill 'em all."

[Dark Hunter]

Just remembered this gem:

"But you live, you learn. Unless you die. Then you're ****ed."

I believe this was said by an HLPer (aldo?).

Also:

"A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."

"DIVE DIVE DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!"

"That was a little too close... ...we've gotta wait fifteen minutes to change our shorts... ...well we've jus-... ... ...heh, STOP LAUGHING THERE CO-PILOT."

"What, do I look Shivan to you? Uh-oh, take a look at this. Knossos Number 3, one hundred fifty clicks out in right field. Where the Hell are we?"

[Stormkeeper]

I shall take this moment to quote myself:

"It's pronouced SEX-pee."

[Jeff Vader]

"This Team Vs. Team mission pits your team against Zeta team with a Ganymede installation in between. Good luck, pilots.

...Try saying that five times fast."

"I like the word 'indolence', it makes my laziness look classy"

"Okay," said John, taking a deep breath. "Remember, these are children. Aim low."

This sounds like something I wrote once... "They're just cubs. Unless you can time it for airburst grenades just aren't very effective. They're too short."

"Bup bup, bup bup, bup bup bup."

[Stormkeeper]

Remembered a few ...

"... that's why incesticides are important for growing rice. ... God, did I just say incesticides? I feel so ashamed now." - My relief Geography teacher back in Secondary 4.

"They don't need to teach us sex education. They figure we already know more than the textbooks teach." - My friend during Sec 2 when someone wondered why they didn't teach us sex education.

"HOW CAN YOU TELL I'M THIRTEEN FROM WHAT I'M TYPING ??????????????" - Took this from bash, I find it hilarious.

"NTC Roffle, may the god of plasma core insertions have mercy on your soul."

The first time I saw that, I went .

[Aardwolf]

All Border Collies duly evicted from Greg's Hound Imperium's jeopardized kennels litigated Monday night over persistent qualms regarding some terriers unduly violating wandering xenophile yachters' zoomfinders.

"NTC Roffle, may the god of plasma core insertions have mercy on your soul."

... Where'd you hear that?
