Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.... As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly ninety-nine percent of the test subjects accepted the program provided they were given a choice - even if they were only aware of it at a near-unconscious level. While this solution worked, it was fundamentally flawed, creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself.

"Yeah, little bit of pain never hurt anybody. If you know what I mean. Also, I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile.

They get you, they get closer to me, and that can't happen! And you, motherfucker, are looking at me like it's my fault. I didn't tell him my name. I didn't tell him where I was from. I didn't tell him what I knew better than not to tell him! Fuck, fifteen minutes ago you almost told me your name! You, buddy, are stuck in a situation you created. So, if you wanna throw bad looks somewhere, throw 'em at a mirror!" - Mr. Pink from the movie "Reservoir Dogs" (1992). "Now remember: you don't aim a gun at a man unless you intend to shoot him.

"We teach a special sweeping technique here. Follow her lead." Al Swearengen from the T.V. show "Deadwood (2004). "Rory? Yeah I know Rory. He's not to be underestimated, you've got to look past the hair and the cute, cuddly thing - it's all a deceptive facade. A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron's rusted, so he's gone to the local battle-cruiser to catch the end of his footer. Nobody is watching the custard so he turns the channel over. A fat man's north opens and he wanders over and turns the wiser over. 'Now fuck off and watch it somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer. 'That's fucking it,' says the guy. 'That's fucking what' says Rory. Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man's lit up like a leaky gas pipe. Rory, unfazed, turned back to his game.

Dance to that which one is created for!" - Bela Lugosi as "The Scientist" from the movie "Glen or Glenda" (1953). "When you're dealing with a store like this, they're insured up the ass. They're not supposed to give you any resistance whatsoever. If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says fucking shit after that. You might get some bitch talk shit to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next, watch her shut the fuck up. Now if it's a manager, that's a different story. Managers know better than to fuck around, so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. I'm hungry. Let's get a taco" - Mr. White from the movie "Reservoir Dogs" (1992). "I am Vinz Clortho - Keymaster of Gozer, Volguus Zildrohar, Lord of the Sebouillia.

Straker from the T.V. movie "Salem's Lot" (1979). "Your stupidity may be your one saving grace." - Rory Breaker from the movie "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). "I was one of those secret guys in the Pentagon that supplies the military hardware - the planes, bullets, rifles - for what we call 'black operations' - 'black ops', assassinations, coup de' tats, rigging elections, propoganda, psych warfare and so forth. World War II - Rumania, Greece, Yugoslavia, I helped take the Nazi intelligence apparatus out to help us fight the Communists. Italy '48 stealing elections, France '49 breaking strikes - we overthrew Quirino in the Philippines, Arbenz in Guatemala, Mossadegh in Iran. Vietnam in '54, Indonesia '58, Tibet '59 we got the Dalai Lama out - we were good, very good. Then we got into the Cuban thing. Not so good. Set up all the bases for the invasion supposed to take place in October '62. Khrushchev sent the missiles to resist the invasion, Kennedy refused to invade and we were standing out there with our dicks in the wind. Lot of pissed-off people, Mr. Garrison, you understand?......Well they've been doing it all through history. Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison, politics is power, nothing more! Oh, don't take my word for it, don't believe me. Do your own work, your own thinking." - X from the movie "JFK" (1991). "Outstanding, Red Team, outstanding!

"Right. Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite. Fanny by the gaslight. Take a bag, c'mon take a bag. I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else. Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape. Here, one price. Ten pound." - Bacon from the movie "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). "Why are you talking about leaving?

"Are you threatening me Master Jedi?" - Chancellor Palpatine from the movie "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" (2005). "Do you even doubt it, man? I don't think we got set up, I know we got set up! I mean, really, seriously, where did all those cops come from, huh? One minute they're not there, the next minute they're there? I didn't hear any sirens. The alarm went off, okay. Okay, when an alarm goes off, you got an average of four minutes response time. Unless a patrol car is cruising that street, at that particular moment, you got four minutes before they can realistically respond. In one minute there were seventeen blue boys out there. All loaded for bear, all knowing exactly what the fuck they were doing, and they were all just there! Remember that second wave that showed up in the cars? Those were the ones responding to the alarm, but those first motherfuckers were already there, they were waiting for us. Haven't you fucking thought about this?" - Mr. Pink from the movie "Reservoir Dogs (1992). "You see that fella in the red sweater over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Works a few of the protection rackets for Cunnaro when he's waiting for something better to happen. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd.

Sullivan IV, Gettysburg College, Autumn 1991. "Tell me, these killings, when are they going to come to an end?.....I came from a wealthy family. I've joined the clan because I wanted to learn a special Kung-Fu, be a real expert, but in actual fact, I've just become a killer. Killings: that's all I know. Damn, everyday another. When Liang Shen died, it was the first time I felt it prick my conscience. Then to hide that one, we've killed again: First Wong Fa and then Ling Xuong." - Qi Dong (aka The Snake) from the movie "5 Deadly Venoms" (1978). "You've just asked me 'When will it end?' Well let me tell you: Once an evil deed is done, then it never ends... it goes on and it goes on forever. - Ma Chow (aka The Scorpion) from the movie "5 Deadly Venoms" (1978). "It's true hard work never killed anyone, but I figure why take the chance." - President Ronald Reagan. I suppose I just like to relax too much. What else did you expect me to do? I am an attorney (Insurance/Asbestos Defense) here in Baltimore, Maryland. Watch the video below of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. interviewing Insurance/Corporate Defense Attorney Nathan Thurm (Martin Short) for a sample of what my job is sort of like. A member of Amicable-St.John's Temple #25 A.F. & A.M. of Maryland and Master of the Royal Secret 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Freemason - Valley of Baltimore, Orient of Maryland. Being in Secret Societies and the arcane/occult knowledge they impart interest me. I first encountered Brothers of the Bavarian Illuminati and the Knights of Malta whilst being a student at St. Catherine's College Oxford University back in 1992. Buying/collecting/selling/trading historical relics/artifacts/paintings/movie memorabilia and items of historical importance is my hobby. I am a movie buff and I like to quote lines from them when I am drunk (Guinness, Miller Lite, Warsteiner Dunkel, Natty Boh, and Tanqueray & Mr. Pibb only). Shots of Grand Marnier, Crown Royal and Canadian Club whiskey also work. College and NFL Football is like a religion to me; because of this September is my favorite month. Always take The Ravens against the spread. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals suck. See below for some of my favorite Jim Mora Tirades. Rocket Man by William Shatner is a classic; enjoy the video below. I used to have the fourth high score (274) on the Rockin' Bowl-A-Rama Video Game at Padonia Station; they don't call me Ernie McCracken for nothing. That bowling machine is gone and I now have the ninth high score on the new one. Always willing to help out with a fight; I cannot stand people that take themselves too seriously. Wine and champagne make me sick and I despise jazz music and jazz clubs. People that are cheap bother me. People that talk trash and can't back it up piss me off. Stupid people with stupid, stupid minds also suck. Those who think they know a lot or know it all and consider themselves "educated" and "know it all" in truth know very little; my experience is they have some knowledge but no understanding whatsoever (i.e. Sotheby's and Christie's). At any rate I could fucking rant forever. So, in conclusion I'll leave you with this little fucking conundrum to ponder: The Plan Has Worked, May 1, 1776, New Order for the Ages - can you find it? Oh yeah, one other thing: now will you dance for me?
