Quotation of the Day for August 23, 2010In the history of American speech, he was born between "Dirty Commies" and "Nice tits." He worked for Uncle Sam, and married a dizzy gal from Pittsburgh with a mouth on her. I was conceived in the decade between "Far out" and "Whatever"; at the precise moment when "going all the way" turned into "getting it on." ...Our last visit took place in the twilight zone of a clinic, between "feeling no pain" and "catching a buzz." For that occasion I had carefully prepared a suitcase full of small talk. --But he was already packed and going backwards, with the nice tits and the dirty commies, to the small town of his vocabulary, somewhere outside of Pittsburgh. - Tony Hoagland, My Father's Vocabulary.
