Humor is reason gone mad.

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

"I hate a Roman named Status Quo!
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live your
life as if you'd drop dead in 10 seconds.
See the world. Its more fantastic than
any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security,
there were never such an animal. And if it
were, it would be related to the great
sloth which hangs upside down in a tree
all day every day, sleeping its life away.
To hell with that, shake the tree and knock
the great sloth down on his ass." --Ray Bradbury

Ah, so we're playing musical quotes now, eh?

No, it was Cash's birthday. But as long as we're talking musicians, let's do a quote from a fellow born on 2/25:

“There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high - that's where I'm going.”

- George Harrison

"I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book."

~Groucho Marx

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Well, then. Now. I'll begin at the beginnin'. A fine soft day in the spring, it was, when the train pulled into Castletown, three hours late as usual, and himself got off. He didn't have the look of an American tourist at all about him. Not a camera on him; what was worse, not even a fishin' rod.
