For quotes I love Dorothy Parker. "This is not a book to be put down lightly. It is to be hurled across the room with great force."

J'adore Dorothy Parker!
(Not so fond of Jennifer Jason Leigh portrayal of her in that movie from the late 90s, but then, is there anyone who actually liked that performance?)

Resumé
BY DOROTHY PARKER
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

She also said that if all the girls at Radcliffe were laid end to end, she wouldn't be a bit surprised.

My favorite Dorothy Parker story involves her running feud with socialite Clare Booth Luce. One time they arrived at a restaurant at the same time. Mrs. Luce said "Age before Beauty." Dorothy replied "And pearls before swine." and walked into the restaurant.

I have seen that line used in at least one comic strip. Quite funny.

The "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip is drawn by Stephan Pastis, whom I consider the newspaper comic strip artist I would most like to see shirtless.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

The comic book artist I most want to see shirtless used to be John Cassaday, back when he still had long hair. That was a few years ago now, though. I have no idea what he looks like now, because I've refused to look at pictures of him since he cut his hair.
(Countdown to someone posting an unflattering recent picture of John Cassaday...3, 2, 1...)

I think I broke the countdown.
Let's start again: 3, 2, 1...

Perhaps I should break it again, to reduce the chances of someone actually posting that picture!

I had no idea what he looked like...one quick google later... no, his hair's much better now. It's not that short. Shame he's put on 300lbs and is driving a Ben Hur pimped mobility scooter...or is he? Only I'm looking at piccies...who knows for sure...

Thoth, I thank you for not posting a potentially tempting link to an unflattering recent picture of Cassaday. (Countdown to someone posting just such a link...3, 2, 1...)

I don't like guys with long hair. short hair rules.
Even Katie Cassidy's long hair annoys me.

I didn't know who that was. I see what you mean. Here's a link to David Cassidy. He's tried to stay youthful by drinking the spinal fluid of giraffes, making his neck extra long, but still with that old '70s smile. Or has he? Only the link will tell? No pics on the Cassidy thread... http://www.nndb.com/people/063/000024988/david_cassidy1.jpg

I don't like Arrow. If Oliver is young and beardless, he's just not Oliver to me. Also, the Arrow version of him is just too mellow for my taste.

Ollie's power is being cranky yet with a heart of gold.

Stephen Amell, who plays Oliver, is pretty, but I prefer his cousin Robbie who played Firestorm and, before that, Stephen on the reboot of The Tomorrow People.
