Nick Offerman on why he finds solace in the outdoors::: I grew up in a small town, and that was kind of my pastime was riding my bike to the creek and going fishing with my family and building a treehouse. And I guess I never got out of the habit. I need to get out and look at the creek or look at some trees. Read More

'My Poor Ass': Michelangelo.. A Poem About How Much He Hated Painting the Sistine  Chapel

I've already grown a goiter from this torture,
hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy
(or anywhere else where the stagnant water's poison).
My stomach's squashed under my chin, my beard's
pointing at heaven, my brain's crushed in a casket,
my breast twists like a harpy's. My brush,
above me all the time, dribbles paint
so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!

“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”

“People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.”

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”

and darkness the right hand of light.

Two are one, life and death, lying

together like lovers in kemmer,

like hands joined together,

like the end and the way.”

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.

With great emphasis he said,

'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd

take it and pour it into the river.'

With even greater emphasis he said,

'And if I had All the wine in the world,

I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said,

'And if I had all the whiskey in the world,

I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

Sermon complete, he sat down..

Janette, the elderly organist, stood very cautiously and announced

with a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song,

let us sing Hymn #365,

'Shall We Gather at the River.'

Keep spreading the Cheer.

See you at the river!

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."

He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!!
