Chugga-Chugga JUNKYAAAAAARD!

Damn straight, ladies and germs: It's time for some junk-yardification! Ka-CHOW!!!

1 - "A glutton is constantly expanding outwards in all directions-- much like the universe, only much less full of wonders, and much more full of food."
- Me-

This is one of my favorite things I've ever said because it made me laugh. Remember this phrase if ever you need something sage-like to say. This would also go well in a story or poem, so I am posting it here. It's a wonderful, whimsical thing for some wise person to say.


2 - "Contrary to popular belief, I do design things which are not intended for death and destruction."
-A man whose name I know better than to post online because he would kill me-

This comes from a guy who is very particular about where and how his name is dropped online, but suffice it to say, he is an old friend of mine from my SCAD days. He does a lot of designing of things, particularly weapons of war, and he said this online one day. It simply sounds like something that should be said from a villain and I love it.


3 - "
aww how come we haven't talked in a century i'm strong and wooly?"
-I do not know her real name-

This is a girl I used to talk to online sometimes, and the things she said were absolutely crazy, even by my standards, but that's ok because it was never a dull moment with her. She is strong and wooly and, yet again, this snippet of life would make wonderful content for a poem or a story. It's like some unique little snapshot of life that I could scrapbook into some story or poem.


4 -
"Me: You can have anything delivered.

Nick: anything?

Me: Anything.

Nick: what about a really fat person?
Me: Yeah, you could so have a fat person delivered."

My friend Nick wanted a really fat person delivered. For what purpose, I know not. It is best not to question him. I think all these quotes are in the same vein today: snippets of life that make for good reading material.


5 -
"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four."
-George Orwell, 1984-

One of my favorite books of all times and one of my favorite quotes of all time. Freedom is the freedom to state the truth and be unafraid of the consequences. Plain and simple. Without that, there is no freedom. Essentially, it is the American first amendment.
