5 quotes make an entry

I have been diligently working for several hours now while listening to a neverending stream of traditional ranchera music. As a result, I have decided that my life would be immeasurably altered were I to wander through it accompanied by an accordion punctuating my every statement with a wheezy little trill. And yet sadly there is no accordion here

LOOK THERE!

IT'S AN ACCORDION

-cue spam of accordion pictures-

great quotes, as usual

Thanks!

I love Black Books. I didn't read further than "sarcastic bookshop owner" before I bought the DVDs... That reminds me. Note to self: make a "prostitute robot from the future" icon.

(And for some reason I really, really liked #3. I've always been one for creative imagery.)

Ooh, good icon idea.

And I'm glad #3 appeals to someone other than me. Otherwise I might have worried...

I love the Camus quote.

And now all I can picture is Snoopy and his accordion: "Polkas, schottishes, and waltzes..."

But your icon continues to crack me up.

One of the running gags in Peanuts was Snoopy, Charlie Brown's dog, playing the accordion, and Charles Schultz always portrayed the music with the words "Polkas, schottishes, and waltzes".

I do love my kitty cat.

But does it count as normal if you have to expend tremendous energy on it? I mean, it's a physics thing. Wouldn't burning that energy leave less with which to do things that actually are normal, and thus give you away?

And does this comment suggest that I am not putting enough energy into normal? Crap.

[oddmonster]

Well, I think it might depend on which state you define as inert, right? If your inert state is normal, you're golden on this score. If your inert state is other, you're an object at rest having difficulty getting energized into motion. Or something.

(Is it just me, or does anyone else hear a phalanx of physicists weeping softly in the background to these comments?)

[little_tristan]

Frankly, I'm impressed you came up with that answer. Perhaps it's as much which state you define as normal. If my inert state is normal (which is not the same as saying 'if normal is my inert state'), then anything that requires the expenditure of energy is abnormal and I'm still golden.

But before I rest on my laurels, I'll ask Uncle Harold. :)

[oddmonster]

Wow, theoretical physics here we come. I think our basic, bottom-line hypothesis is that we're golden, right?

Yay! Black Books references. :-)

Love that show!
