Thank you for the great images Marc. Life is short and brutish, filled with pain and suffering. Might as well look good while enjoying it.

That would make a great signature

Life is short and brutish, filled with pain and suffering.

Brings this to mind (A.E. Houseman again):


Here dead lie we because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
But young men think it is, and we were young.


In any case, if and when the time comes, I will not let myself become an old and sickly (or just sickly) burden to my family. I'll check out, and I'll do it my own way. Ideally, I'll scuba dive deeper and deeper down until nitrogen narcosis leads me to peacefully lose consciousness. "Truly, for some men, nothing is written unless they write it."

You might as well write "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me" (Mae West) :rofl:

About the 2K sacking: Staying in a bad marriage because of the great sex.
Sounds like practicing medicine. Everybody has a complaint. Lots of people that have nothing ,need everything and all I can do is give them something. Once in a while I help someone and they are truly thankful, makes my day until the next patient. I live for those moments, its what keeps me practicing medicine. Someday I'll get it right, just have to keep practicing.

How beautifully morbid.

uh.... no


Although I do have a pillow that says:

I used to be Snow White, but I drifted (also by Mae West)

Can't think of a better way to check out. Back into the watery abyss from which we all came. From light to darkness. From sharp sound and fury to murmuring peace. Rocked to sleep by the current. The circle closed at last.

 

[MissMittens]

Now that quote is much better

Leaves more to the imagination :rofl:

 

[amador]

Truly Marc I can say that when a man breathes his last breath he wishes he had another one. Do not go gently into that dark night.

You most definitely have a way with words Mr. Chevalier.....

Well, I do like to keep em guessing

Better to leap toward it than to wait ... and wait... for it to collapse over you. Die as you try to live: not by chance, but by choice.

Here's another one:


Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota

Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year’s horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.

In my FL lurkings I have seen a line that sort of goes along like "I will not take care of myself only to arrive at death safe and sound" What was the actual line and by whom?

 

[Justin B]

I've often said that I don't wish to die peacefully in my sleep. I intend to arrive at the pearly gates sliding sideways screaming like a madman with my hair on fire.

 

[amador]

Enough of these dark musings. I have in view the wonderous expressions of nature's beauty, the Grand Tetons and the subtle feelings of love and companionship, Linda. Ecstatic in my realization that I am alive and aware.
Another misquote: God sleeps in the rocks, dreams in the trees, awakens in the birds, but in man knows that he is awake.
I gotta start looking this stuff up again.

Here's what a head that's made for fedoras looks like:

Yeah, that "Cotton Club" movie had the best costuming of any (relatively) recent U.S. film set in the Golden Era.
