Very funny!

Quoted: I saw this on Dave Winer's Friendfeed stream yesterday. Its just too good not to post, even though its staged. Some adult language ...

Check out the last blurb in this press release. Well done, Bill Donohue's publisher.

Brian shows his true self.

Quoted: The next thing I'm going to do is carve one of the longer gourds into a perfect replica of the Mayflower as a shout-out to our Pilgrim forefathers. Then I'm going to do lines of blow off its hull with a hooker. Why? Because it's not summer, it's not winter, and it's not spring. Grab a calendar and pull your fucking heads out of your asses; it's fall, fuckers.

I'd be a bit disappointed if I went to an Edward Tufte lecture series and this flowchart of the lyrics from 'hey Jude' didn't show up at some point.

I think fondly of the professor's Good Fight every time I find myself sitting in another 'PowerPoint engineering' meeting. Doesn't anybody communicate in complete sentences anymore?

Quoted: This is an icon of the fourteenth-century saint Vralkomir of Dnobst, the patron saint of extremely fast dancing.

Quoted: In the autumn of 1347, in response to a perceived slight from a Dnobstian maiden, the recently enthroned Tsar Nÿrdrag the Irascible (also known as “The Cowbird Tsar,” a Scandinavian foundling whom the previous Tsar and Tsarina unknowingly raised as their own) issued an edict banning fire in Dnobst.
