The fine art of insults:

George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill

[up]Utter cattiness from two of the world's finest. Although... Wilde had both of them beaten, I think.

On the art of insults, in Newsweek a loooong time ago there was this exchange between an artist and a Caustic Critic:

Artist: The lead dog always gets bitten in the ass.

Critic: You're not the lead dog just because your ass is bleeding.

ZOMG I found it:

The Greatest Literary Feuds The daily Beast:

#4: "For a feud to entertain, both parties have to give as good as they get. When in 1989 Norman Mailer remarked that, "[i]n my mind, there is something silly about a man who wears a white suit all the time, especially in New York,” Tom Wolfe brushed off the sartorial attack with the witty epigram, "the lead dog is the one they always try to bite in the ass" (to which Mailer responded "It doesn't mean you're the top dog just because your ass is bleeding"—and so on)."

Mailer vs. Wolfe...Cool vs. Awesome for English Majors....

Despite being over the cold my vocal cords were not nicely treated. My voice is a bit rough in an off and on sort of way. Still have drainage occuring which isn't helping.

Ah post nasal drip...my family gets it bad. Hydrogen Peroxide burns like the seven circles of hell but it does break up the crap if you gargle with it.

Orange juice also works, with much less pain. (Though I would recommend drinking the juice, unless you really want to just gargle it.)

Warm salt water gargle and using a sinus rinse seems to have done the job. My throat and of course my nose feel better now.

So I came home from work yesterday, and I walked into my bedroom - which I share with my brother - and tripped on his open toolbox. (It's a small room.) Ended up smashing into both the bed and the cupboard. (It's a very small room.) Apparently, this was my fault, because lack of spatial awareness is soooo easily correctable.

...Somehow, only sustained a bruise to the thigh and a slightly sore shoulder respectively, but it's days like these that leave me wondering if I'll make it to my next birthday with all my vital organs intact.tongue

Ouch. I hate when that happens.

I dropped the CO 2 canister for the Sodastream on my foot yesterday and it hurts.

Little, hard cannisters with not-quite-sharp bends-that-aren't-quite-edges but which are rather-there-anyway... and a sticky-outy nozzle. Yup: plenty of potential ouch. >_<

I can walk just fine. It's bruised but I'll live.

Momma had a neighbor lady who cleaned our house and used to babysit me. Nice lady, but she loved her some mop & glow. So much that one day my 8 year old self ran into the freshly waxed kitchen in socks... ..and promptly ate sh_t.

One of the many reasons I'm a barefooter.

At least I got to have cookies with my brusied kidneys.

Foot accidents must happen often at babysitters houses. I stepped on a staple and still remember it. I was three. It was traumatic.

In other news, WINE. WRITING. WINE.

ALL CAPS. (sorry)

I just returned from a bar. When I was there, I was thinking, "Maybe today I will get drunk enough to drunk-post here."

So I drank:

  • 1 tall glass of beer
  • 1 rum + coke
  • 1 Whiskey + coke
  • 1 gin + tonic.

There was this girl and when she saw me oneshotting the tall glass of beer, she was like "No way. Why would you do that?" I never saw her before, so it must have been that stupid.

When I finished drinking all those, she said, "You better stop drinking. In ten minutes it's going to hit slam you."

I thanked her, wondering what she meant by that. I asked her, and apparently I would be vomiting. I waited five minutes, but no vomit came.

Instead, I began laughing. For ten minutes.

When I stopped laughing, she explained to me that I was supposed to drink one drink per hour, not drown four drinks in five minutes (apparently that's what I did). I asked my friend who worked at the bar if I was drunk, and he said I was hammered. Really? Because I certainly had enough presence of mind, it's just that my speech was a bit blurry (I was never a very good speaker anyway) and I felt a bit shaky.

All in all, I feel rather...fine. I think. I better go to bed, though.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.
