Nice

So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

A long one, but I would have it:

The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde

Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.

Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.

"Nobody who lived through the '50s thought the '60s could've existed. So there's always hope."-Tuli Kupferberg

Yes, but that doesn't mean I espouse the idea that I can wear what ever I want. I would not want my wife to just wear pajamas all the day so obviously I have to make the effort too.

I just think it is funny.

Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself.

Excellent quote, nessie! What is so good with Dan Barker is that unlike the other outspoken "New Atheists" he actually used to be a Christian minister for 20 years! So he basically know all of their apologetic arguments.
