    There is nothing surprising in this.

    Moby Dick

    With a philosophical flourish Cato* throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. *The Roman statesman Cato the Younger (95 - 46 B.C.) killed himself rather than submit to Caesar.

    This is my substitute for a pistol and ball.

    Moby Dick

    Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it...

    Moby Dick

    It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation.

    Moby Dick

    Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

    Ok so, firstly, a warning: metal questions ahead. First off, have you listened to every Maiden album released? If so, would you care posting your thoughts to all of them? What death metal records do you think are the cool beans? Are there any metal bands you absolutely hate? Did you ever hear...

    And yet you asked not a single question in this post! What a sham, man. What a sham.

    That's kind of a tough question to answer. I don't think there are any that fit what your asking exactly; that said, there are a few that are near to the mark. Metallica is a band that I've kinda turned a cold shoulder to, but I still listen to them on occasion. Pantera I still like, just I...

    Nope. I'm one of those dudes that doesn't even look metal. ATM the only metal thing I own (outside of CDs) is a Ride the Lightning shirt. That'll change... one day...

    I don't have any off the top of my head. Been a while since I've seen any. :P

    Never had the latter two in my life, but I do enjoy coffee. That said, caffeine apparently doesn't have much affect on me - once I had some five cups of coffee and still nearly feel asleep at church, lol. Not to say I've made any extensive studies on this, though, maybe it is affecting me and I...

    Oof, this is tough. Pig Pen is one that is ironically aesthetically pleasing to me, but as far as characters go, Snoopy and Charlie Brown really hold down the show. Still, all of them are memorable in different ways so at the end of the day... IDK for sure. Peanuts is probably the safest...

    I love it when you guys ask stuff in ways that aren't asking. It proves we're smart folks.

    God, you had to ask. Um... well, there's a lot of cool people and this list is quite incomplete, but shout-outs to: @Pig's Laundry that calm and collected coolio @LittleJerry92 that cool, slick guy @fuzzygobo that wise sage @JimAndFrank that incredible writer (and Discord slacker grrr)...

    Holy crap, you realize this is a Buckethead album right?

    That's fair. I'm in about the same boat, though I do think The Book of Souls was up there with the classic albums. Actually, Maiden really has never made a bad album or song even, some are just better than others. (Though Killers is definitely one of their weakest links...)
