--- Quote from: Akima on 03 Sep 2012, 02:28 ---If I were a US citizen, I would be feeling pretty much like Jeph Yelling Bird. But at least he doesn't have to put up with Tony Abbott...

Don't get me started...
It's too bad, though. A yelling bird rant about Tony Abbott could be entertaining. Or at least cathartic.

The amount of fodder Yelling Bird has access to would be an entire comic series in and of itself. However, the state of politics being as it is, we have to vote for not who will fix the problems with the country, but who will screw it up the least.

He did, however write "And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn't measure up."

I don't remember that in any of the Discworld series (or at least up to "Thud"), or was this one of his quotes? Still... the man has a penchant for making sense.

It's a difference in degree, maybe. He's not using obscenities, he's describing them.
Depicting them, even.

The second one is definitely a Vimes-ism, at a guess, I'd say from Night Watch. The first one, ironically given your signature, feels like it comes from Interesting Times itself.

...And quite agreeable.

The second is indeed from Night Watch, which I haven't read for months. The first one might not have been him, but I think it was. My sig is from Thief of Time, not Interesting Times.
EDIT: Derp, you meant techkid's.
