Never. I was once banned from a message board for expressing my dislike for Noodle.

It also speaks volumes of what he's trying to cover up.

except you share

With them in hell the sorrowful dark of hell,
Whose world is but the trembling of a flare,
And heaven but as the highway for a shell,

You shall not hear their mirth:

You shall not come to think them well content
By any jest of mine. These men are worth
Your tears: You are not worth their merriment.

Wow, rhyming couplets of haikus - I'm really impressed over here.

one way to look at it. it's much rarer to keep a flame alive when the fuel lights quickly in a blaze; it's far more common to keep a flame alive when the flame gradually grows.

starting with love is more the former; starting with friendship is more the latter. i've seen more successful long-lasting relationships arise from friendships than i have arising from love.

Look, I just don't like creamed spinach. I don't care who makes it, or what's in it - I just don't like the texture - it's like trying to hock up lettuce-encrusted snot.

Plain old steamed spinach with garlic and salt, the way Chinese people serve it, is the ONLY WAY I LIKE IT.

That's some nasty ****.

All green vegetables should be steamed.

[st_swithin]

I'm with you on that one. Green leafy vegetables should be steamed.

Shrubberies should be trimmed, dead trees felled, and/or burned, and the remains should be used for GOOD, not evil, purposes.
