crap you can't make up

Click the link to see the irony of who actually said the following:

“President Bush, for example, never allowed a White House staffer or administration spokesman to go out and do what this administration and our predecessor routinely did — that is to engage in calling the leaders of the opposition party disparaging labels and question their motives,”

so no, I didn't celebrate "towel day"

certainly not by listening to the Tertiary Phase in the car, nor watching HHGG (the movie version), nor by relaying somewhat more obscure quotes from DNA like

• Joe Shelby notes that time has begun seriously to pass.
• fine, Elm. Be like that.
• Insanity is a gradual process. Don't rush it.
• Hot Potato. Don't Pick It Up.
• Gravity, of course, was merely a discovery. It was there to be discovered. They even keep it on at weekends.
• But that was a different age, when Zaphod was young, brash, and terrifyingly electable.
• the major difference between someone your age and someone mine is not how much I know, but how much I've forgotten.
• Joe Shelby would take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.
• Joe Shelby Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
• Joe Shelby notes the impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.
• The Door was The Way. Good. Capital letters were always the best way of dealing with things you didn't have a good answer to.
• Joe Shelby is often stuck with technology when what he really wants is just stuff that works.
• Joe Shelby wonders, will everything tie up neatly or will it be just like life: quite interesting in parts, but no substitute for the real thing?

While not doing any of that, I also didn't have my Mike Oldfield playlist on shuffle, neither.
