Pic of the Day: “Now the fact that you will turn into an animal if you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here is not something that should upset you or get you down. Just think, as an animal you’ll have a second chance to find a companion. But, even then, you must be careful; you need to choose a companion that is a similar type of animal to you. A wolf and a penguin could never live together, nor could a camel and a hippopotamus. That would be absurd.” (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “What do you think is more exciting… having sex or stealing cars?” “Having sex or boosting cars… Um, oo! Well, uh… How about having sex while boosting cars?” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Now you’re the first Black man in the history of the ring who’s ever had a crack at the heavyweight title. Now white folks, of course, are behind Brady. He’s the redeemer of the race and so on. But you, Jack Jefferson, are you the Black hope?” “Well, I’m Black and I’m hopin’.” “Answer him straight, Jack.” “Hey, look, man, I ain’t fighting for no race, I ain’t redeeming nobody. My mama told me Mr. Lincoln done that. Ain’t that why you shot him?” (55th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “Flash! A-ah! / Saviour of the Universe / Flash! A-ah! / He’ll save every one of us / Flash! A-ah! / He’s a miracle / Flash!

Pic of the Day: “Josse, there’s an election with three candidates, so who do you vote for? No. 1: He is partially paralyzed from polio. He has hypertension. He’s anemic and suffers from an array of serious illnesses. He lies if it suits his purpose and consults astrologists on his politics. He cheats on his wife, chain-smokes, and drinks too many martinis. No. 2: He’s overweight, and he’s already lost three elections. He suffers from depression and has had two heart attacks. He’s impossible to work with and smokes cigars non-stop. And every night when he goes to bed, he drinks incredible amounts of champagne, cognac, port, whiskey, and adds two sleeping pills before dozing off. The last one, No. 3: He’s a highly decorated war hero. He treats women with respect. He loves animals, never smokes, and only has a beer on rare occasions. Josse, who do you vote for?” “The last one.” “The last one, No. 3? And the rest of you?” “Yes, No. 3.” “Oh boy! You just discarded Franklin D. Roosevelt… Winston L. Churchill… and thankfully you elected this guy.” “Hitler?” “Focus! It’s funny, but there’s a point to this, which is important and which I hope you’ll understand someday: the world is never as you expect.” (5th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Then why won’t you work with him again for one night?” “Because of artistic differences.” “What artistic differences?” “I hate the son of a bitch, that’s what artistic differences.” (50th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: “Will there be no room for Hobbits in this new age of Man?” “I think so. For of us all, Hobbits are the closest to Man, the most human. And one day they will be as Men are. Look you; Frodo is a bit larger than Bilbo, just as you are larger than Frodo. And younger still have you, and larger are Merry and Pippin. And, if you keep the book of the Hobbits as Frodo asked, ages from now when your stories are still told, there will be those humans who might well wonder, ‘Is there Hobbit in me?'” 45th Anniversary)

Image
Pic of the Day: “I’ve been through a lot of these. ‘Sick leave’ isn’t the only designation they use when they take one of these priests out of circulation. They use a slew of terms – ‘absent on leave,’ ‘unassigned,’ ’emergency response.'” “They got a name for everything, these guys.” Except rape.” (10th Anniversary)

Image
Pic of the Day: ♫ “By the time we got to Woodstock / We were half a million strong / And everywhere was a song / And a celebration / And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes / Riding shotgun in the sky / Turning into butterflies / Above our nation / We are stardust, we are golden / We are caught in the devil’s bargain / And we got to get ourselves / Back to the garden.” ♫ (55th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: ♫ “He’s a pinball wizard / There has got to be a twist / A pinball wizard’s / Got such a supple wrist / How do you think he does it? I don’t know / What makes him so good? / Ain’t got no distractions / Can’t hear no buzzers and bells / Don’t see no lights a-flashin’ / Plays by sense of smell / Always gets a replay / Never seen him fall / That deaf, dumb and blind kid / Sure plays a mean pinball.” ♫ (50th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: ♫ “Here I stand, head in hand / Turn my face to the wall / If she’s gone I can’t go on / Feeling two foot small / Everywhere people stare / Each and everyday / I can see them laugh at me / And I hear them say / ‘Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away’ / ‘Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away’.” ♫ (60th Anniversary)
