eruthros: Delenn from Babylon 5 with a startled expression and the text "omg!" (BtVS cheeseman nonsense)
[personal profile] eruthros
So last weekend we went to D.C. to see cherry blossoms and museums, partly for [livejournal.com profile] m_shell's birthday. On the walk around the tidal basin to see cherry trees, you pass the FDR memorial, which has a big carving of "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Naturally, I started riffing:

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself! Fear and surprise. Surprise and fear. The only two things we have to fear are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency. Our only three things to fear are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency. And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our four -- no. Our fears -- amongst our fears are such varied elements as fear, surprise -- I'll come in again.

Yes, I am a gigantonormous dork.

thank you...those are the two male penguins at the bronx zoo who are in a same-sex relationship and adopted a chick together. i thought they were pretty adorable. (plus, gay penguins are a fabulous counter to the "homosexuality is unnatural" crowd, don't you think? ^.^)

I can totally relate. Imagine what went through my mind when, while walking around DC, I encountered this:

Hey, why leave it to the imagination, I'm bored. Aint history grand? =:)

Someday I'll be good enough at this stuff to actually give Sidious that nice green copper color. Someday.
