beware the Ides of March...


Trump: 1 - Apis - The Fool

"You remember the story John use to tell us about the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game."

"I shall finish the game, Doc."

-William H. Bonney, from Young Guns II

  2. Man, I know I'm losing it now, Mr. Metakookya. I was just sitting in a coffeeshop trying to finish another one of these poor scribbles. In the background, a man was playing an accordion. After about a dozen tunes, he pipes in with our old favorite. A true classic for the ages, eh? Then it struck me. Well, I never claimed to be smart, just stubborn.

    Cheers, pass the bottle on over and let's deal another hand.
