I'm not linking to the thread because I think that line just stands alone.

Are Click and Clack related to Frick and Frack?

Must be a drummer or a man reference.

Posted the page because it needs to be seen in context.

You may have ruined The Spam Sketch for me LJ, or made it funnier, but I'll never look at singing Vikings in the same way again.

I would like to nominate Shawnee for this post:

Create havoc and whistle on down the road, feeling good, is a trait I think the devil himself invented.

We all know she has had some hard times. There is a level of coldness shown to those who dare suffer here; compassion is only the name of the game if the behavior still fits the category of not being hard to watch.

Though many behaviors are much, much, much more disturbing (such as enjoying hurting and watching people writhe) our society is still fundamentally unable to comprehend human conditions beyond that which does not make us fear for our own minds.

We can all commisserate, and we care, about a lost job, or a passing illness, or such things. This understanding is our "good."

When it's deeper than those sorts of things it's easier and more acceptable to hope it goes away. This lack of understanding is our "bad."


I'm not talking about the Cellar except as it pertains to being a microcosm of the world.

We love you Bri. If you read this, know that.
I think the sections I've marked in bold stand on their own.

Some folks criticise while others advise - either way, talk is cheap. But only the rarest of the rare lead by example.

Well done, Sir Lumberjim. Well done, indeed.
