I took a break last week from the Weekly Geeks. Mostly because the topic was social issues. Social issues are difficult for monsters because very often they lead to angry mobs of villagers with pitchforks and torches. So one minute you feel like you’re advancing the rights of monsters everywhere, and the next you’re climbing up the side of the Empire State Building with Fay Wray in one hand, and swatting down airplanes with the other. Not that there was anything wrong with Fay Wray. Quite the opposite. It’s the airplanes that worry a monster. And the torches. And the pitchforks. So… Without further ado, here is today’s quote!
Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.” ~Edward Gorey (Author, Artist 1925 – 2000)
