->If Zamenhof didn't mean to name his creation [[EsperantoTheUniversalLanguage "Esperanto"]], what name did he intend it to be known by? The answer is, ''la lingvo internacia'' = "the international language". Here the definite article [[SmallNameBigEgo is an absurd boast]], since there were already plenty of other tongues with a history of use as an international lingua franca. [[OlderThanTheyThink Esperanto wasn't even the first]] ''constructed'' auxiliary language to attract a cosmopolitan following. And yet I still get emails denying the existence of any other international language. From foreign countries. In English.

->Each week, [[Wrestling/EricBischoff Bischoff]], he's, "''Annnnny'' week, we're beating [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]]!" He had a meeting every week. "WWE's closing down!" I kept lookin' at him, going, "...."[[DisapprovingLook Okay.]]" I don't think you know the same Vince [=McMahon=] ''I'' know. "We're killing Vince! They're gonna be gone!"

->''"Major Barkison had a sure method of foretelling weather, or anything else for that matter: He would, for instance, select a certain patch of sky and then slowly count to three; if, during that time, no sea gull crossed the patch of sky, the thing he wanted would come true. This method could be applied to everything and the Major had great faith in it.\\\
He looked at a certain section of sky above a distant volcano. Slowly he counted. At the count of two a gull flew across his patch of sky. The Major frowned. [[MovingTheGoalposts He had a way, however, of dealing with this sort of thing.]] He would use the best two counts out of three. Quickly he counted. No gull appeared. The trip would not be bad."''

->Yes! In that way, I’m GLAD he was accused of rape! Really steels you for the rigors of pro football. If only EVERY prospect were accused of rape. It’s the Oklahoma Drill of legal entanglements. [[MiseryBuildsCharacter TOUGHENS THE BODY AND THE MIND.]]\\\

->The free market has told the producer John Aglialoro they don’t want any ''Film/AtlasShrugged'' but apparently he has responded back with essentially “[[{{Hypocrite}} Fuck you, we are making Part III!]]“. I guess he’s believed the moochers have taken over but personally I would prefer he go to his own private island rather than subject us to this.

We all know that “kids” aren’t running up to Heather Mills in the street. That’s crazy. Most kids have been told at a very, very young age to never ever go up to that witch Heather Mills, because [[LifeDrinker she’ll eat their souls.]]

->At the Super Bowl in January, I went to the Bud Light boat party, which was [[VeryFalseAdvertising not actually on a boat]]. It LOOKED like an event. There were spotlights and pretty girls and famous people tucked away behind a curtain. You had to go through thousands of checkpoints to get to the party, every one of them festooned with branded signage. And after all that waiting and walking and anticipation, I was greeted with [[{{Anticlimax}} a makeshift ballroom that was largely empty inside]], like I had just traveled through the vein of a corpse to find its heart missing. That's kinda what it's like to hear Roger Goodell talk. It sounds very strong and noble and then you look closer and there's fucking nothing there. That's what happens [[SlaveToPR in a 24/7 PR universe.]] That's how punching a woman in the face gets buried under a mountain of horseshit.

->Man, if reality and the feminazis are right, then this rape culture is fucking insane and brutal and I’d be an asshole for supporting it and shitting on the only people trying to fix it… thus, it must all be make-believe because I as the All-Holy Penis-Bearer [[KnowNothingKnowItAll know the lives of women far better]] than any she-creature.

->Because of mutual defense pacts signed earlier, which declared that an attack on any of the three signatories (Poland, Britain, and France), Hitler’s invasion drew Britain and France into war with Germany. Both dutifully declared war 70 years ago today, on September 3, 1939, [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and the rest, as they say, is history.]]\\\
Well, at least if you care about history.\\\
If you’re Pat Buchanan, of course, you never let a little thing like history stop you from a good opportunity to try to paint Hitler as being an OK guy and to explain how Adolf Hitler didn’t really want war and he was just a poor, misunderstood guy forced to fight by those nefarious Allies, who were unreasonable and wouldn’t give him what he wanted...That’s right. To Buchanan, if Britain and France hadn’t allied themselves with Poland and then actually honored their commitment after Hitler invaded to take what Germany was due but that those stubborn Poles, confidence buoyed by their alliance with France and Britain, refused to give up, then the Holocaust would never have happened. The implication is that [[ChewbaccaDefense the Holocaust was all France’s and Britain’s fault!]] Now ''there’s'' real Holocaust revisionism!\\\
Pardon me while I barf.\\\
[[Film/TheProducers Leave it to Mel Brooks]] to get it exactly right. Mel knows his history better than Pat.
