It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What? Crouchy doesn't hold a candle to Chadwick and Flanno!

Ha, just remembered Crouch's reply to an interviewer asking what he'd be if he wasn't a footballer: "A virgin."

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I know the vast majority of y'all like to drink scotch, but I myself am a gin man, and I am currently enjoying this little treat that has been distilled in my home state:

Its fucking phenomenal neat, or mixed with tonic and lime (my preference). And its making me VERY happy.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

The gf got me Gardens of the Moon for my birthday. It will be a while before I dive into it (reading another series right now and I wouldn't want to lose track), but that's pretty great - haven't read that book in at least 6-7 years since my copy never made it back from someone I lent it to.

It might have the american cover, but it's the thought that counts!

My boss bought me a set of Glenfiddich whisky samplers for Christmas - a 12, a 15 and an 18. I've never tried the 18 year old before, so I'm intrigued, but I suspect they shall all be amusing.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

I found the 18 to have quite a harsh taste (if I recall correctly) compared to the smoother 15...

According to my currency converter app that works out about £50-100 so yeah there is a massive range. Will have a think but in the meantime browse The Whisky Exchange as you can browse by price etc. They may even have it in AUD but if it is all in Sterling try the 50-100 range.

Had a great day out with a friend. The zoo was closed, unfortunately, so we ended up at the natural history museum and promptly stumbled into their current 'Evolution and Sexuality' exhibition..

To quote my friend: 'Hey, what kind of animal is that? Oh, wait, forget it, that's the penis of a sperm whale.'
Puck: 'Take a look at that dolphin model over there.'
Friend: 'Noooo, I'm never going to see dolphins the same way again!'

Puck was not birthed, she was cleaved from a lava flow and shaped by a fierce god's hands. - [worry]

Got new glasses, new prescription, everything looks wonky. Had my last pair for 13 years, give or take. No headache (yet), but I think I can see through clothes.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Recently had a similar experience... although I feel somewhat shortchanged in that I can't see through anything!

Happy me? I'm car shopping. Time to let the old girl go to the garage in the sky, and I'm amusing myself with all the hilarious colours I could potentially get my model of choice in... I've no idea why but the idea of a car you require sunglasses to look at comfortably tickles me immensely. Posted Image

Why would one not be happy with this for company this Christmas? I appreciate might not appeal to the veegurns out there - but hey just think, no competition from me for the nut roast
