Steve B's quote of moe made me laugh - "Looks like it's suicide for me again!"..and i got to thinking about the time peter griffin is asked his name and hes looking around and he sees a pea and goes "p"...(and then he sees someone eating) and says "eater...peter..."(and then a griffin flys by) and he says "griffin..peter griffin..dang" haha

or the time homers brain is saying "dont tell him revenge, dont tell him revenge" and homer goes "revenge?... d'oh!" and his brain responds with "thats it im out of here (footsteps walking away)"

hahaha

then theres every episode of ATHF

they preach to the choir, always in the permanent daylight
they toss paper tigers from their perfect porcelain skylines, shatterproof spires
listen for the sound, as it all comes crashing down

and we paid the price, we paid for their crimes with our blood
and our lives

Quote:

So feed us all another lie
To still our thoughts, appease our pride
So we won't have to change the way
We see, we live, we love, we die
Our lusts precede our blasphemy
Our logic reads like notes from tainted autopsy
...
Our souls they speak of something more
But we can't look beyond ourselves
We implore empty skies because
Our hearts hold room for no one else
...
We extend our claws to grasp the shadows of the
Ideals we have lost
Casualty of a subtle dagger
Buried to the hilt in our heart
Blood on our hands
- Thrice - A Subtle Dagger

Quote:

i cant reason with you
i speak words you can't hear
social conditioning left you with deafened ears
so i take your face in hand
see that look in your eyes
that rigormortis stare,
that look that i despise
and so i turn from you
i walk these streets alone
alone i search for truth
ideal that you've disowned
and wait with fingers crossed
and pray you'll someday find
a way to see things though your own eyes
