Yep, post more of that

"She gets everything she wants, but nothing that she needs

No respect for what things cost, or who she wants to be

Just neglect for what's been lost, 'cause nothing is for free

How can we let her get away with being this way?

We've been shattered by her can't you see she has to pay?"

~ She - Taproot

Sorry, this one has to do with my policy of MODESTY. YES, that dreaded M word > : )

"In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."

~ 1 Timothy 2:9-10 (Authorized Version, 1611)

Well I'll try hit a key word for you somewhere .

I too have one I want top post, so slip the word ape in somewhere and we're good to go

"I'm the keeper of the bees, as you've known.

Just a worthless memory in this house.

Through the light of day & dark will you notice me?

I'm the keeper of the bees; I'm a dead man.

Dear Diary, I won't keep her awake any more.

I won't love her any more, she won't let me.

Just a journeyman's journey to the end.

Will this road hold home for good, will I ever see?

Against this broken street I'll gain, it will comfort me."

~ Wayne Andrews, The Old Bee Keeper - The Prize Fighter Inferno

One of my favourite songs

It's really sad, it's the story of a ghost haunting his wife, and he's sad that he has to leave her, but because he's hurting her he knows he has too. Really sad

Nope. Nothing :L

Maybe I'll pull off a Romanov somewhere (you know what I mean). However, if I want to go "apes", I'd have to quite something like "Infernape, Fire Blast!" or something... or touch the creation vs. evolution topic or something. Or pull off a zoology book and quote something about them.

"He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. "

~ Job 27:18 (Authorized Version, 1611)

Side Note: Job is the book that mentions two cryptids

"I love those that know not how to live except as down-goers, for they are the over-goers.

I love the great despisers, because they are the great adorers, and arrows of longing for the other shore.

I love those who do not first seek a reason beyond the stars for going down and being sacrifices, but sacrifice themselves to the earth, that the earth may become the Overman's.

I love him who lives in order to know, and seeks to know in order that the Overman may hereafter live. Thus he seeks his own down-going.

I love him who labors and invents, that he may build the house for the Overman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus he seeks his own down-going."

~ Thus Spake Zarathustra - Frederich Nietzsche

"Ah me! love can not be cured by herbs."

~Ovid

[Tbird]

"Lo! I show you the Last Man.

"What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?" -- so asks the Last Man, and blinks.

The earth has become small, and on it hops the Last Man, who makes everything small. His species is ineradicable as the flea; the Last Man lives longest.

"We have discovered happiness" -- say the Last Men, and they blink."

~ Thus Spake Zarathustra - Frederich Nietzsche

._. Is that legal?.. It's the same quote with only one word different...

"It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office."

- H. L. Mencken

[Tbird]

"What's coming through is alive.

What's holding up is a mirror.

But what's singing songs is a snake

Looking to turn my p!$$ to wine.

They're both totally void of hate,

But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses

What my damage could have been.

My blood before me begs me

Open up my heart again."

~ Tool -H. from the album "Aenima"

The game's as simple as you can get, really. All you have to do is post a quote that links to the previous post via one of the words used (Don't use crappy links such as "the, and, a, I" etcetera.)

Did you read the first post?..

(Linking to a quotee because Spartan Pikachu's quote is all of 3 words...2 of which are unusable...)

Slaking, Use Earthquake! ~ Norman

Not the most intellectual quote that i could've chosen, but it works.

[YuzuruHitokiri]

"cromar: If there is a God, why does he/she allow disasters like earthquakes and Microsoft?

dvice_null: Are you comparing a disaster that causes billions of dollars financial losses and thousands of people to lose their home every year, to a natural movement of tectonic plates? That's low."

(Thanks for putting this topic back on track...)

(Lol No problem.) "They say Home is where the heart is, but what a shame, 'cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same." ~ Green Day

[YuzuruHitokiri]

"I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book. The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right."

- Groucho Marx
