A (long) quote for the times

[mazzy]

Just had to share this gem...

“And here, more than anywhere else I know of or have heard of, the daily panorama of human existence, or private and communal folly–the unending procession of governmental extortions and chicaneries, of commercial brigandages and throat-slittings, of theological buffooneries, of aesthetic ribaldries, of legal swindles and harlotries, of miscellaneous rogueries, villainies, imbecilities, grotesqueries, and extravagances–is so inordinately gross and preposterous, so perfectly brought up to the highest conceivable amperage, so steadily enriched with an almost fabulous daring and originality, that only the man who was born with a petrified diaphragm can fail to laugh himself to sleep every night, and to awake every morning with all the eager, unflagging expectation of a Sunday-school superintendent touring the Paris peep-shows.”
H.L. Mencken, 1922

Happy Holidays!

Are you sure Sway didn't write that?

[sailingdog]

Nah, can't be...too many two, three and four-syllable words... No grunts or profanity either...

I am an admirer, in many respects, of the sage of Baltimore. Little has changed since those words were put to paper, eh?

Whom was it that said the world is a tragedy to those who feel while, a comedy to those who think?
