It's the birthday of the man who said, "Comedy is a serious business," actor W.C. Fields , born William Dukenfield in Darby, Pennsylvania (1880).
W.C. Fields said, "There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation."
"Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink."
"If I had to live life over, I'd live over a saloon."

Should you ever get the chance, his movie, "The Fatal Glass of Beer" is really good.
"She was built like a brick chicken house."
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Hey, The Fatal Glass of Beer is free with Amazon Prime. I may just have to fire it up this morning.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

One of my favorite W.C. Fields' lines is: "Now is the time to take the bull by the tail and face the situation." Or something like that.

He was one of the great comedians of his time. We could use someone like him today.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

I can relate to that one!
"I will return before you can say 'antidisestablishmentarianism'."

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his principles, his friends. The glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn."

If I would have lived in his time I would have loved WC Fields. Are there any good biographies on him?
