.."If I could lend a machete to your intellectual thicket..."
I am going to say this often and with feeling.
It is, I think, really beautiful. And apt.
Can't you think of several instances, right off the top of your head, where this very phrase was called for? I need to practice it, though, in front of the mirror. Otherwise, I am likely to splutter and burst into giggles.
Oh, Jenn, can't we put in the the Lines For Life Club? Can it be our motto?
Do you know who says this delightful phrase? Oh, you must! It's Cap'n Jack Sparrow, from the third movie. I really love him, and I would so be torn, if I were Elizabeth Swan. Truly, I'd need some time to consider which of the fellows to spend my time with, Will or Jack. Sigh! Decisions, decisions!
If you are not reading this with an Anne of Green Gables tone, then you just need to go back to the top and begin anew. Raise the back of your hand to your brow on the "sigh," just so.
That's better.
We watched the 3rd Pirates on Skiing Day. The hill was shrouded in deepest fog, and we elected to sit instead. We did do a bit of sledding in the morning, but that was all the snow we really could take. A movie by the fire was ever so satisfying. I saw the movie twice at the theatre, it was good enough to pay full price for. Now, I just may watch it again tonight, because I want to memorize all of Jack Sparrow's lines.
Why are not all movies like that?

Consider it entered into the Lines for Life Club!
I too will need to practice this line, because it is well worth using some day.
Also, I would go with Jack Sparrow any day (as long as he brushes his teeth). As much as I love O. Bloom, nothing can compare to my love of Johnny Depp.
" Fell and fair" this is my favorite quote of late . Fell means fierce . That line is from the lord of the rings ,book two , I think .
I do appreciate good lines .Thats a good one . see you latter .

Hi Jenine! How nice to run into you here. I have thought of that line of yours "fell and fair" since you told me. I'd like a man who is fell and fair....
shoot! i was going for fell = klutz, fair is where I did it!
phooey!
besides, if you are going to ten dollar definitions, i think it would be referring to a woman (pirate warrior princess, yargh!).
