I know someone who did. He sh*t in a pot of resin and catalyst, fished it out and polished it when it had set hard. Then put it on his shelf. He was progressing nicely towards insanity when I last saw him...

your mate needs committing. i mean yeah, we all like a joke n that and i've got a reputation for lowering the tone....

but sh*tting in a pot and coating it with resin? 

Nothing so needs reform as other people's habits.

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul." from the classic novel, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

It sounds like a damn enviable attachment and love to a romantic's ears. That sort of romanticized never-let-go love and lust in the old movies.

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw perfume on the violet… is just f****** silly.

Tim Minchin.

"You are just as well placed to argue with any of the greats in the library."

Today I had the hangover from hell. I woke up to find a deflating rubber swimming ring on my bedroom floor and vague memories of swinging my shirt round my head in a nightclub to the Baywatch theme.
Somehow I made it to my lecture.

The quote is from my lecturer. I'm studying English and History at university and today's lecture was for a module that is basically preparation for my History dissertation next year.
The idea that my lecturer will consider my work in comparison with that of some of the authors that I admire and are held in such high esteem by other academics was hugely inspiring and I will never forget it. 

I have a habit of noting down quotes from teachers and lecturers. I remembered one from my A Level English teacher. His incredulous response to a student's very brief review of Shakespeare's Othello:

"You 'don't rate' Othello?!"

Incidentally, I do rate Othello! Despite it not being my favourite Shakespearean tragedy, it does at the very least IMO surpass Romeo and Juliet.

The last one is George Bush jr  I really miss all the goofy and dumb stuff he said and did, too bad about the politics  ....
That is the one thing I like about Mitt Romney - he has said a couple of things that reminds me of the last Republican president. Maybe he can make a new law that permits windows in airplanes to be opened? Obama is too cool and well spoken - Bush jr was a lot funnier!

I think it's a pity that the two best known quotes from this presidential campaign are both very much taken out of context. I'm of cource refering to "I like to be able to fire people" (Romney) and "You didn't build that!" (Obama)

"Things will get easier, people's minds will change, and you should be alive to see it."
