Ask Caesar



The lines are taken from a Charles Bukowski poem title "The German Bar." I love Bukowski's poetry, especially the ones that seem to sock you in the stomach at the end. They're like a Vonnegut novel contained in a single page.

Not your typical image of Caesar, I know. For some reason, I kept picturing a heavier man than the gaunt image of Caesar with a hang dog expression. Stephen Fry seemed an apt fit.

Tooth and Claw



"You want weapons? We're in a library. Books!
Best weapons in the world. This room's the
greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourselves!"
- The Doctor, 1879

My Valentine's Day present for Lisa. She loves Doctor Who and as an English teacher, did quite swoon at the quote delivered by David Tennant in all his badassery.

From the episode Tooth and Claw, Season 2.
