I'd sooner smarm like a fart-licking spaniel than starve in a world of fat bones.

Re: Quotes by the Classic Drinkers
I would rather be ashes than dust ! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
-Jack London, reknowned drinker

Re: Quotes by the Classic Drinkers
Oh, I goofed. It wasn't Evelyn Waugh, it was Oscar Wilde who said he'd "sooner smarm like a fart-licking spaniel". See, I was drunk when I submitted it the first time. That's my story and I'm stickin to it....

Re: Quotes by the Classic Drinkers
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing.

Re: Quotes by the Classic Drinkers
"They ACT like they love Ol Dirty - ladies don't love Ol Dirty Bastard because ... Ol Dirty Bastard is busy lovin' them. They might like Ol Dirty Bastard, know what I'm sayin? They might listen to his music or something, but really they don't pay no mind. They pay nothing no mind, nothing is paid a mind to, really, on this earth. It's just living, and dying. The world is a big ball of fire and it's just burning with no feeling."- Ol Dirty Bastard
"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. "
