[Tony Blair] is like an actor who doesn't really believe in his script himself but has the incredible skill to make everyone else believe in it.

An Account of the Air War Over Verdun (from Au Ciel de Verdun)

'It is Senain. He received three bullets in the head, which exploded like rotten fruit; brains and blood trickle on the face and clothes. The helmet moves on nothing more than a broken skull.'


Another time he recovered the body of a Farman crewman, who had fallen to his death from his airplane:


'The second fell on the roof of the house. I clearly heard the dull sound of the body when it was crushed. Flouc!
. . .
The body was recovered from the roof, entirely broken, shattered, and shapeless and without rigidity like a heap of nothing more than ooze.'

I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.

You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

When I was reading on some references to Psalm 23, I came across this:

This work is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
- from Wikipedia

Well, it was much earlier than a 100 years!

I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

Any resemblance between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

A Subsim a day keeps the boredom away.

. _ . . = . . . = . _ . .

SH4;
- A diamond in the rough.

SH4 modding;
- A job worth doing is worth doing well.
- A labor of love.
- A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
- A man's got to do what a man's got to do.

ROW PE / Environmental;
- A picture is worth a thousand words.
- A thing of beauty is a joy forever.


I was bored, can you tell?


Oh, right:

"What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?"
- George Bush

"All kinds are good except the kind that bores you."
- Voltaire

"When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored." :hmm:
- Eric Hoffer


The Subsim fora: A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday Subsimming.

One big, helpful family. Hurrah for Subsim!


I'll go shoot myself now.

What am I? Flypaper for freaks?!

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
