bowmaniac@livejournal.com Bioquotes of the moment:
When asked if he had any advice for his teammates who would be facing Matsuzaka on Wednesday, Seattle's Kenji Johjima replied, "I would first tell them to pray."
"A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny." Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
"I am SO amused by this 'hockey fantasy' package they're offering. I have my own hockey fantasy for the Bruins and it does not include dinner with Brad Boyes." swerve.
"Always understate necrophilia." William Henry Devereaux, Jr., in Richard Russo's Straight Man.
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
"I wonder if we haven't become so numbed by all these numbers that we are no longer capable of truly assimilating any knowledge which might result from them." Bill James, as quoted in Moneyball.
"I began to develop a firm conviction that most efforts to teach people things were wasted. All they needed was to go off some place quiet and read." Ned Hall in Richard Russo's The Risk Pool.
"It's a rite of passage. Every december, Red Sox fans wake up early and make a pilgrimage to... the computer, where they sit for four hours trying to buy tickets." swerve, on the VWR.
Savard beefed at the linesman, “I've got nothing but love for you buddy, but there were three off-sides on that shift and at least you got one of them. Keep trying.” He then turned to Thompson and said, “that’s going on my mic.”
