Leave the gun. Take the Cannoli.

Is this a dagger which I see before me?
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

For I will dine on honeydew and drink the milk of Paradise
Shaken not stirred.

Are you sure you have got the right Coleridge poem Tepee? Sounds like the Ancient Mariner who stoppeth one in three. Did you rise the morrow morn sadder but a wiser man?

Now that's interesting. I don't recall mentioning Olympic Stadia.

Did you rise the morrow morn sadder but a wiser man?

Pen; Wiser ? - probably not, given my deteriorating brain capacity. As for sadder - oh, most certainly!


Footnote. I never did much like the "Ancient Mariner" very much. Must be something to do with my salt intolerance

You would have been sadder and wiser if you had fallen for the sales talk,probably, Teepee. I never like "The Ancient Mariner" either, in fact, I am not very keen on Coleridge, but it is quite appropriate for this thread as it is one of those poems you read again and keep coming on expressions and think , Ah THAT is where that came from,

IVOR Actually you asked for the Olympic Games - well that is near enough, be grateful for small mercies and dont split hairs!

You also asked for something on sinking the Titanic but so far I havent been able to come up with anything hat doesnot sound crass. Nearst I can get is one of my favourite quotes:

. `Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolute nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing,' he went on dreamily: `messing--about--in--boats; messing-----'

After which the water rat went tail over whiskers into the bottom of the boat, so maybe it would be more appropriate to the Boat Race, but perhaps that is insensitive too.

You have probably heard the one about making the film "Raising the Titanic" - "it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic"

Puck: How now spirit! Whither wander you?

Fairy: Over hill, over dale,
thorough bush , thorough briar,
Over park over pale

Nor I Pen, but there is one of his I like. I will post in it the "Time for Rhyme" thread in "Good Books and Readings".

Within this Mosh Pit, I replied to a comment about the Titanic. On the Calendar, I entered a programme for Daunt and Dervish about a boxer aiming for the Olympics.

Neither of those asked for anything on Olympic Stadia. Sorry to disagree.
