Have you ever been utterly infatuated with someone to the point of almost making yourself hurt? It's pretty tragic and pathetic. Against all possible logic, you find yourself unexplainably attracted to one individual and it pretty much kills you. There comes a point where you hate yourself for being the type of person who could never attain their love.

A few words from the visionary Steven Wright:------ 2)I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met. 3) Okay, so what's the speed of dark? 4) Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 5) When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 6) Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. 7) Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark. 9) Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. 10) I intend to live forever-so far, so good. 13) When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded. 14) What happens if you get scared half to death, twice? 16) I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. "I believe that sex is the most beautiful, natural, and wholesome thing that money can buy." "Sex without love is an empty experience, but as far as empty experiences go its one of the best" "The difference between sex and death is with death you can do it alone and no one will make fun of you" "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet" "I never want to marry. I just want to get divorced" “You can’t say civilizations don’t advance… in every war they kill you a new way” “Feminism seems to be a case of women having a leg-wrestling match with their own other leg. There is only one thing for men to do in response to this confusing situation, which is the same thing men have always done, which is anything women want” “A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain” “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society” “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principle difference between a dog and a man” "Vision is the art of seeing things invisible." Jonathon Swift Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey 1)If they ever come up with a swashbuckling School, I think one of the courses should be Laughing, Then Jumping Off Something. 2)When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil. 3)It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. 4)At first I thought, if I were Superman, a perfect secret identity would be "Clark Kent, Dentist," because you could save money on tooth X-rays. But then I thought, if a patient said, "How's my back tooth?" and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, "Oh it's okay," then the patient would probably say, "Aren't you going to take an X-ray, stupid?" and you'd say, "Aw fuck you, get outta here," and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill. 5)Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling 6)I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex 7)Have you ever seen a child, on his way to school, have a car drive past and splash him, and then he just stands there and thinks if he should just go to school or go home and change and be late... And then I drove past and splashed him again! 8)I once met an assassin who's nickname was fart. I ask him why he has this nickname and he tells me it's because he's silent but deadly. 9)I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit the high notes I bet you can really see it in those genitals 10)A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby." 11)Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis 12)One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to DisneyLand, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "DisneyLand burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real DisneyLand, but it was getting pretty late. 13)We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town. 14)If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you. 15)Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what is I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny. 16)I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!" 17)Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done. 18)If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink. 19)Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out. 20)To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad. 21)"I imagine a world without guns, without weapons, without war. Then I imagine us attacking that world, cause they never suspected" 22)"I wonder is the world just a mess of screaming and yelling, as I sit and watch the lights go from green to yellow to red, and back again" 23)"If you're falling from a skyscraper the thing to do is to make your arms and legs go limp like a dummy, because then maybe someone will come over and try to catch you, cause, hey, free dummy!" "Human body! Lestat, you can't become human by simply taking over a human body! You weren't human when you were alive! You were a born monster, and you know it. How the hell can you delude yourself like this." - Louis, On Lestat. 'Tales of the Body Thief' "Lestat! You are the damnest creature." Marius, Queen of the Damned Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. -Rincewind. Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong. Rincewind Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon – he'd run them all. Later, when he learned with some surprise what the word actually meant, he'd been equally certain he wasn't one. He was a person who divided the world quite simply into people who were trying to kill him and people who weren't. That didn't leave much room for fine details like what colour anyone was. {The Last Continent, 1998} "Last one into the water's a man standing all by himself on the beach!"

Rincewind, Rincewind the Wizard "'I'm not going to ride on a magic carpet!' he hissed. 'I'm afraid of grounds.' 'You mean heights,' said Conina. 'And stop being silly.' 'I know what I mean! It's the grounds that kill you!' -- Sourcery "Suicide was against the law. Johnny had wondered why. It meant that if you missed, or the gas ran out, or the rope broke, you could get locked up in prison to show you that life was really very jolly and thoroughly worth living." Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages. The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one of those that look as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more staircases than stories and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The universe, they said, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty and bloody-mindedness. Luck is my middle name. Mind you, my first name is Bad. --Rincewind, "Interesting Times Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.--Terry Pratchett Angua: Don't worry, we won't need weapons. Cheery: Oh, good. Angua: They wouldn't be any use. Cheery: Oh. --From "Feet of Clay Of course, Ankh-Morpork's citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure.

Very often, that individual is crazy. " Confuscious Say: Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. Confucious says: Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day. Confuscious say: Man who run behind car get exhausted. Man who run in front of car get tired.". ... Confuscious say: Man who drops watch in toilet is having a crappy time" "The gesture of rejection which always met me did not mean "I don't love you," but rather; "you can't love me much as you like it; you are unhappily in love with your love for me, yet your love for me isn't in love with you.' therefore it is not right to say I’ve known the words 'I love you'; all I’ve known is the expectant silence that should have been broken by my saying "I love you." -Frankz Kafka, on Milenna Jesensica. "I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exist except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if i fail, I will die in this moment."- Raistlin Majere "Yes, even If I'm twisted and warped I'm Smarter then you - All of you! Someday, You with all your strength and Charm and good looks, you - all of you will bow down before me and call me MASTER" --- Raistlin Majere. "... I can, We've all been laughed at one time in our lives; we've all been jealous of a sibling; we have felt pain and suffered, just as he suffered; and we've all longed - just once - for the power to crush our enemies! We pity him, we hate him, we fear him, all because there is a little of him in each of us, though we admit it to ourselves only in the darkest hour of the night." -Justanius, in regard to Raistlin Majere. "Magic is giving. You cannot expect to have but not to give. Magic does not come from words nor gestures within yourselves. Magic flows through your brain to your spine and to your arms and hands. Empty words do nothing but move the lips." -Par-Salin, Magic Aprendix. "In ancient times, sorceresses sought to learn the one true spell that would give them power over the world and understand all the magic. The one True Spell was a women, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful." "Sharp Shooter are Loners by Nature.

No, You do not understand, SO Just Let Me Be!" -Ivannan Kinnes It wasn't a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but there's the weather for you. For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is complete and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime. - Good Omens "Love must've been blind.

It's right up there on the oldies-but-goodies list with "Fail and I kill you". Or, maybe in this case, it's that variant sung by the famous ogre bard Chumba-Kahn, "Fail and I eat you". Of course, we could always just leave... Boy: Gee, mister... your robe is so colourful... Can I be like you when I grow up? Pleeeaaaasseee? Edwin: A commendable statement child, but... no, NO!

If I can't carry it with me, it's just not a good buy. Man: Oh, the little fella says all that does he? What else does he say? Minsc: Occasionally he mutters about fellow hamsters that will kill you all, but he is just moody. See how he glares? We should leave him be. Lilarcor: So, are we gonna kill something now? Minsc: May I have your advise, o sentient sword? Lilarcor: Advise eh? Well besides working on your swordsmanship, y'know besides that, I'd have to think. *The sword is silent for several minutes* Umm, uh, f-find the wizard guy. Yeah sure!

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery*. My mother was a fifteen-year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy... the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess in the insane lament. My childhood was typical... summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds... pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it." 1. Save the whales.

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition. Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm. The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord. An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure. All great discoveries are made by mistake. Always draw your curves, then plot your reading. Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget. A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost. The first myth of management is that it exists. A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection. New systems generate new problems. To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything. Any given program, when running, is obsolete. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make. The faster a computer is, the faster it will reach a crashed state. Nothing motivates a man more than to see his boss putting in an honest day's work. Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book. Russian Capitalism: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. Japanese Capitalism: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide. Arkansas Capitalism: You have two cows. That one on the left is kinda cute... Hindu Capitalism: You have two cows. You worship them. Cuban Capitalism: You have two cows. They try to swim to Florida. 40 Things Never Said By Southerners 40. Oh I just couldn't. Hell, she's only sixteen. 39.

Top 10 reasons MARI is losing money: 1) They trusted Wyvern as an insurance agent. 2) They continuously have to reconstruct their building after having vigorous in door Nimball tournaments. 3) Bead has to buy a constant supply of strange ties... 4) The UBBs are actually upheld by the yakuza, and MARI has to pay 'protection money'. 5) At the last Archmage gathering in Vegas, Bead and Nahual were violently mugged by the Archmage masses after suggesting to make multi-maging legal to increase funds. The hospital bills were enormous. 6) They have to buy straight jackets for all the UBB moderators, especially Iuz... 7) Their project "Archmage the Movie: the Life and Times of MARI inc." was the biggest flop film ever. All of the staff got addicted to the unreleased Stabat Mater project and ended up not working. 9) Birdman refused to come back unless they got him a deluxe birdhouse and gourmet birdseed. 10) AT&T decided to steal Orlan's rejected project and start Archchocolate on their own server. Players started switching to that... A god-awful ugly, grotesquely obese, sweaty naked lady. Who is sitting on a vinyl couch, hitting you over the head with the under cooked leg and thigh portions of a 48 1/2 pound turkey. All the while screaming at the top of her lungs, "THE TUNA! THE TUNA! I WANT THE TUNA!" and that, my dear TimeRipper, is life. ~Snypiuer "One Day, I'll have a signature longer and more varied then the infamous 'Lord of the Gay', and the get deleted by a jealous moderator." - Psycholis Don't argue with an idiot; they will bring you down to their level then beat you with experience In honor of Shivv (August 29, 1986-August 29, 2076) "How are you Gentelmage, all your Mr.Bunnies are belong to us." ---And what is it with those people with the fantastically long sigs? Don't they have anything BETTER to do? I mean, would it KILL you people to shorten it a little? ---And while we're at it, why can't you just say 'signature?' Is the effort required to type 'nature' really that much? ---So what about those people who make new topics 'just to test the new sig?' Those people can just POST, like everyone else. --And you know what else bothers me? When people go on and on about the SLIGHTEST triviality. I say, punch 'em right then and there. Absolutely stolen from Stargazers Funnies: “I like being able to anticipate your wants and needs, but the only person actually responsible for them is you,” she said. “Not everybody in this world is going to be nice, but if you won’t tell people what you want… or don’t want… you aren’t giving them much choice.” Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. Words to Live By Never argue with an idiot. The people watching might not know the difference. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key. When you're laying in bed at night looking up at the stars, don't panic when you suddenly wonder "Where the Hell is the ceiling?!" Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and SMACK the asshole upside the head. The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. Just remember........if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but giggle when you see one tumble down the stairs. In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. The things that come to those who wait may be the things left by those who got there first. Birds of a feather flock together and then crap on your car. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
