“Well, like, I've always thought somebody ought to write a novel in blank verse that starts out when the angels come inside the daughters of men and they bear the children which were giants in them days, which the flood wiped 'em all out, but their spirits become demons and have to follow Satan around for the rest of eternity. And them spirits still like to have sex, so when they infect nonbelievers or pigs, or what-have-you, that copulatin' urge is still inside of 'em, and so there's generally just a whole lot of ruttin' going on everywheres. And then one day there's a private detective who discovers a hidden tomb underneath a trailer park where his Mama still lives and there's a ancient codex that turns out to be a book that them sex-giants wrote about. the coming Hypocalypse. Something like that's what I like to read.”
Tony Arnold, Tales From the Horny Panda

“This is the Argo which could still laugh at the foolishness of others and pride itself on genuine accomplishments, before the insidious infection of identity politics, ideological disconnect and unjustified narcissism. This was a town that tolerated eccentricity without crowning it queen; which remained steadfastly open-minded without forfeiting its common sense. Argo had less, but less was more.”

“When one's thoughts and experience have not reached a certain point for reading a masterpiece, the masterpiece will leave only a bad flavor on his palate.”
Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

“Most of what we say and do is not necessary, and its omission would save both time and trouble. At every step, therefore, a man should ask himself, 'Is this one of the things that are superfluous?' Moreover, not idle actions only but even idle impressions ought to be suppressed; for the unnecessary action will not ensue.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“The people who must never have power are the humorless. To impossible certainties of rectitude they ally tedium and uniformity.”
Christopher Hitchens, Arguably: Selected Essays

“This is the Argo which could still laugh at the foolishness of others and pride itself on genuine accomplishments, before the insidious infection of identity politics, ideological disconnect and unjustified narcissism. This was a town that tolerated eccentricity without crowning it queen; which remained steadfastly open-minded without forfeiting its common sense. Argo had less, but less was more.”

“She told me to answer yes or no, and to quit wasting her time. I told her I'd place it under my consideration, and would get back to her just as soon as humanly possible. That's when I made the mistake of mentioning my ex-girlfriend. I almost always gag whenever I talk about my ex. Sometimes that gagging leads to puking. Women don't like it when a man pukes on them. That's one thing I have learned about women.”
Tony Arnold, Wigglers
