The drywall contractors dropped off 20 sheets of Sheetrock the other day, and it's been lying on my sad, sad bedroom floor, conveniently wrong side up, so last night I magicked some of it up.
Ha! Neither, actually! It's from Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man, in which Death takes a holiday and is accosted by a little girl, who says, "You are a skelington, aren't you? I can tell because of he bones."
Death replies, YOU ARE MISTAKEN SMALL CHILD, because Death always speaks in caps. This little exchange in a book full of hilarious bits made me fall off my chair the first time I read it.
I LOVE Terry Pratchett's Death, and how he always talks in all caps. I know I read Reaper Man once upon a time in a huge Pratchett bender, but it's been so long that I need to go back and revisit Discworld.
Now that you've explained your username, I see clearly that it has just the one L. But still...you have a Duke Ellington icon!

My roxymissrose LJ won't let me log on because of "security reasons". Apparently I tried to log on one time too many--as in twice. *fumes*
'course, right now, I'm just being too lazy to bother. :D
