Inconveniences, quotes

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
-- Thomas Jefferson, to Archibald Stuart, 1791

Not every story has explosions and car chases. That's why they have nudity and espionage.

  1. I remember hearing that boys like "titties, explosions and ice cream". I guess that was why a trip to the cineme to see a Bond film was always such a treat. I miss having the usherettes come down the aisle in the intermission, selling the little tubs of ice cream. It didn't smell half as bad as pop-corn.

  2. "I remember hearing that boys like "titties, explosions and ice cream""

  3. James Bond stories have it all. :-)
    Now, what's the perfect equivalent for ladies? Ah, I've got it: Austin Powers! (Oh, baby, behave! I'm online. Hee-hee-hee... sorry guys, I'm already done commenting today. The mojo's calling.)
    My catchpa suggests: "vasli". My, that's inspiring indeed. There's no fighting Destiny.
    See you in the credits then. It's, uhm, stunt time. Don't make yourself invisible, darling, Stretch is here with a very hot flame-on. (This is promising to be fantastic. Bye.)

  4. The equivalent for the ladies is probably "Sex and the City the Movie" or maybe that's just the equivalent of the Stooges.
