October 25, 1415

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

beeform's thought of the day

"You don't want a crying Mormon!"

And, you know, she's right. In reference to coworkers, iPods and the ever-looming spectre of Trent Reznor. Which sounds like the name of a great novel....

Ranch tooth is love

Ranch tooth media, in all its glory. All hail obi_wansgirl, who pointed the way in the post about Muhammad Ali vs. Superman comic guest-starring Lucille Ball and Johnny Carson (no, really).

Progress on Hallomeme stalled by onslaught of, er, work today. Will give it another shot in the morning so it can be up and running fully unfettered for a few days of the season. And I want to get some NaNoWriMo utilities done before November, too, as if all goes well I'll spend all my free time next month chugging along on my novel. Fingers crossed. (NaNoWriMoErs [?], what kind of utilities would you like? I will have the random name generator [with name occurances accurate to the 1990 census], an address/city generator, and whatever y'all creative types might think is useful....

There are some Fark Photoshop threads you can tell are going to be riots just from the original image....
