Think I'll eat some worms

Random quote of the day:


"Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.' ”

—attributed to Mark Twain




I couldn't verify that Twain said this, but it was too good not to use. I've also seen this less common variant: "There are three categories of those entitled to use 'We' in the first person: Royalty, Editors, and People With Tapeworms." I couldn't verify that one, either.

(Thank you, handworn.)










(Yes, I used creepy puppets to illustrate this. It could have been worse. I could have used tapeworms. I think we're all glad I didn't.)

This is just awesome. And yes to creepy puppets being preferable to grotesque parasites.

lol--the one thing that totally and completely squicks me. Parasites, that is, though creepy puppets are pretty bad.
