poetry.

[scottobear]

from that fateful day
when the stinking bits of slime
first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars
"i am man"
our greatest threat has always been
the knowledge of our own mortality
but tonight
we shall hurl the gauntlet of science
into the frightful face of death itself
tonight
we shall ascend into the heavens
we shall mock the earthquake
we shall command the thunders
and penetrate into the living of womb of impervious nature, herself


-- Gene Wilder
Young Frankenstein

I love Young Frank. -- it's one of my favoritest flicks. There must be a Gene Wilder vibe in the air! Just last Thursday, I'd written in my LJ about how I'd gone to the grocery store and jumped for joy (yes, literally) because I'd found Wonka bars in the candy rack next to the checkout! You win prizes if you find one with a golden ticket in it! So, of course, I've been walking around for the past few days singing songs of the Wonkan variety. And for the past two days, I've been quoting from Blazing Saddles, another of my most favorite movies! I pray our Gene is doing well these days.

I think you may be on to something... I was quoting willy wonka, and it turned up on tnt the following day. :)

Put the candle BACK.

That is pure poetry. :) It can easily get lost amidst the laughter-- thanks for isolating it!

Forgive me while I wander down memory lane for a moment...

"No, no. Be of good cheer. If science teaches us anything, it teaches us to accept our failures as well as our successes, with quiet dignity and grace... son of a bitch bastard, I'll get you for this! What did you do to me? What did you do to me?!"

Sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you!

Fire is good, yes; fire is our friend!

Oh I love my pretty little flower. Oh I love my pretty little flower. Oh I love my flower...

Damn your eyes!
Too late.
Oh.

And of course...

If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where fashion sits?

Puttin' on the Ritz!

Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes or cutaway coat
Perfect fits

Puttin' on the Ritz!

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying mighty hard to look like Gary Cooper

Super-Dooper

Come lets mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas
In their mitts

Puttin' on the Ritz!


I love Young Frankenstein. Such a classic. :)
