Blame baronlaw, who posted an entry cut-tagged with "Fire and Ice Meme", which really should have been something like the below:

not with a bang but a whimper

That's T.S. Elliot, not Robert Frost. :-P

[dancinglights]

I know, but I still couldn't resist it.

This was on a friend's refrigerator door, years ago, I don't know who wrote it;

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
And some say the world will end in the flash
Of a big explosive device.
But at the risk of sounding sarcastic,
I think the world will choke on plastic.

Oh my god. That might even be more awesome than the original.

It occurred to me that you might need help with the quote. The only person I know has gone through all four stages is Trudeau.

You should not have taken my words without permission. My desire for you to read what I wrote didn't imply such permission.

Wait ... what?

Was this comment meant to be left elsewhere?

[lhexa]

Nope, I left it exactly where I wanted it. However, I did leave out the pertinent piece of information, wondering whether you'd be able to fill in the missing steps yourself. Two years pass and I feel a tiny pang of resentment: I am fortunate that some of my emotions are glacial.

The issue may seem unimportant to you, but you don't share my sense of what is and is not important. :)

Thank you for the context. I've sent my follow-up to the e-mail in your LJ profile.
