What's the word I'm looking for?<br /><br />Boris: I'm not sure if this response is off-topic or not, but the only way the Russians are going to get to the moon is if we take them.<br /><br />Stephanie: With regards to the space shuttle not actually flying - of course Alexander was great, but why collide protons? (Or lead nuclei, for that matter. :)<br /><br />Lydian: I find it hard to believe you didn't get that. Wasn't Gorky Park an old Richard Harris song?<br /><br />"Oh, Gorky Park is melting in the rain, all the sweet green icing running dowwwwwn..."<br /><br />Perhaps that was the emperor Maxim Million. I get confused when pressed.<br /><br />Stephanie: I liked the last one. But I was really hoping you could explain the Gorky quote. Ah, well.<br /><br />Patchwork: I hope it wouldn't be out of place to tell you I like your avatar. :)<br /><br />A: Maybe. It's a long, long way to Tiparillo. To misquote somebody. Something about a cigar.<br /><br />Sue: Betting you aren't in a lighthearted mood any more, after all this.<br /><br />Jeff: Well, thank you. It's only a little dog in a red blanket though.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-37562458485149972712010-04-18T20:27:24.847-06:002010-04-18T20:27:24.847-06:00I don't know what to say about you people.

"...Three of my favorites once hung on my wall:<br /><br />"The odds of getting eaten by lion in Central Park are one in a million but once would be enough" <br /><br />William Penn said: "Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than from the arguments of its opposers."<br /><br />And, of course, Feynman, "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations for Nature cannot be fooled."<br /><br />Still, one of my favorite things I ever saw was written on a black board in the tech services building. I liked it so much I wrote it down: <br /><br />Some one had written "We, the insignificant and inquiring, dubbed by the All-Knowing as "lower than whale pookie," do hereby and herein sincerely promise to conform, comply and obey (assume the position) for all who seek our service."<br /><br />Under it, in a different hand, someone had written, "The beatings will continue until morale improves.

My favor...Why yes, it probably IS after that song.<br /><br />My favorite obscure maxim (as in Gorky, actually) is the following, which I don't quite understand (and goodness knows no one else ever does) but it makes me laugh:<br /><br />"Of course Alexander the Great was a hero, but why smash the chairs?"<br /><br />This was almost my yearbook quote in college, too.Lidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609618027313982020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-66097394619181427282010-04-08T05:35:14.669-06:002010-04-08T05:35:14.669-06:00I'm with Boris.
