Metaquotes

wemyss on the recent political complications in Canada:

Fighting over who gets to be tarred with responsibility for the next budget? It's like a crush shoving to get to the claret cup at a Borgia drinks party.

Context is serving drinks for all who are interested.

(QWP but open and almost the whole post.)

Looked through the Armory Arts booklet. They have this class for 7-9 year olds:

MONSTER DESTRUCTION
Students will build monsters, miniature cities, and create their own monster costumes, then enact the inevitable destruction of their metropolis.

My first thought was, WELL, we're teaching kids all about civic responsibility with THIS class, ain't we. The second thought was "Damn, I wish I was 7".

Context was QWP and has subsequently been unlocked.
