Welcome to Gaia! ::

You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was "but we've always done it this way." A million dead people can't have been wrong, can they?

He was aware that a wise man should always respect the folkways of others, to use Carrot's happy phrase, but Vimes often had difficulty with this idea. For one thing, there were people in the world whose folkways consisted of gutting other people like clams and this was not a procedure that commanded, in Vimes, any kind of respect at all.

As castles went, this one looked as though it could be taken by a small squad of not very efficient soldiers. For defence, putting a blanket over your head might be marginally safer.

feh. There are so many good quotes, but i cant remember any. darn. I'll find some soon.

"Old Mrs. Arbiter didn't like being knocked up in the middle of the night. I had to give her a dollar!"
-Fred Colon quests ginger beer

Well, the first million times I read this I didn't find it remarkable. Knocked up= knock on the door.
But here in the good ol' US of A, Knocked up= made a little "Sperm donation"

"English Burger Lords managed to take any American fast food virtues (the speed with which your food was delivered, for example) and carefully remove them; your food arrived after half an hour, at room temperature, and it was only because of the strip of warm lettuce between them that you could distinguish the burger from the bun. The Burger Lord pathfinder salesmen had been shot 25 minutes after setting foot in France."

"DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH."

"The kraken stirs. And ten billion sushi dinners cry out for vengeance."

Um, most definitely the one in my sig...

"'Why are our people going out there?' said Mr. Boggis of the Thieves' Guild.
'Because they are showing a brisk pioneering spirit and seeking wealth and... additional wealth in a new land,' said Lord Vetinari.
'What's in it for the Klatchians?' said Lord Downey.
'Oh, they've gone out there because they are a bunch of unprincipled opportunists always ready to grab something for nothing,' said Lord Vetinari...
The Patrician looked down again at his notes. 'Oh, I do beg your pardon,' he said, 'I seem to have read those last two sentences in the wrong order...'"

Night Watch: "Dear me, you know that do you? What a shame in one so young" said Vimes. "Thats when you want to sell a broken-down horse and have to make it a bit frisky in front of the punters, and so you take some frsh hot raw ginger, lift its tail, and push the ginger--"
"Cor" said Nobby "You could've been born here!"
