A quote I like: "Successful people are very lucky, just ask any failure."

I thoroughly dislike the anti-Islamic sentiments that keep popping up all over these days. I see it in the news, in political cartoons, in political rhetoric. It's landing in my e-mail box as forwarded threads and as 'amusing' screen savers. People rip weird passages out of the Koran and talk about how all Allah encourages heirems of slave girls. It's not just ignorance - it's like deliberate miseducation. Perhaps there's a group of scheming underground christians conspiring to foment another Crusade for old time's sake.

I don't like DJ's who don't dance while they're spinning. If the beat's that good, you should want to shake your ass.

I wonder if all those medieval people who bought indulgences actually went to heaven.

Do crazy old men go to soup kitchens as charity to the SUV drivers working there? somebody has to give these soccer moms something to do.

The bounds of aesthetic deviance are a lot wider than most people suspect. Actually, almost all art is fit to the limits human perception - you never see art exhibitions with extremely bright light, piercing ultrasonic noise or variable speed air currents. Therefore, the notion of aesthetic objectivism is not so weird.

I wonder what it must be like to work in the knob industry. Going to knob conferences. Schmoozing up the big cheeses in knob world. Going to work everyday saying, "Today, I'm going to make the best damn knob I can." Do the engineers feel pride, their eyes welling up with tears, when they win the Best Knob 2002 awards? This is a group of people I'm glad I don't know.

Sometimes, when I'm traveling and feel out of touch with American culture, I buy a bunch of stuff and turn around and immediately throw it away. Conspicuous consumption can really be nourishing sometimes.

When did mannequins get nipples all of a sudden? I don't remember that when I was a kid. Does this mean that fashionable women will stop wearing bra's and start buying nipple-hardening creams? Frankly I'm a little alarmed.
