Random Quote

Loyal watched Glengarry Glen Ross again recently, and felt the need to repost this marvelous piece of dialogue--especially in the hands of Al Pacino.

"You know how long it took me to get there? A long time. When you die you're going to regret the things you don't do. You think you're queer? I'm going to tell you something: we're all queer. You think you're a thief? So what? You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheated on your wife? You did it--live with it. You fuck little girls. So be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, then be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it."

Amen.

The one year anniversary

Today marks one year since the untimely passing of Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Of course, it also marks the one year anniversary of the nuptials of She Who Is The Valiant Slayer of Redneck Bureaucrats and Field Rabbit #3.

Loyal would like to take this opportunity to convey some thoughts:

It has been one year since Loyal had the wonderful privilege of serving in an honored capacity at your wedding. Loyal remembers that day and the period leading up to it as an exciting, joyous, wonderful time. Thankfully the only thing pregnant was the air, with possibility.

The day itself was wonderful. Everything cooperated, the weather, the police, the Nazi inn proprietoress. How happy Loyal was for both of you.

What an exciting time---how time stretched out before you, uncertainty abounding except for the strength of your love and committment. Loyal rooted for both of you all the way.

And now here you both are, in the land of the sun, building a solid, responsible, happy life away from the dysfunction and insanity of the Great White North. What an awesome thing to consider. Loyal is very proud of The Old Married Couple. Loyal hopes that Loyal fulfilled the role assigned with panache, grace, and class. Loyal very much was happy you chose to play Loyal's music at the reception. Loyal enjoyed very much the chance to cut that weasel's balls off and make him eat them.

Happy happy happy anniversary.
