" Otto, not just a name, it’s a palindrome."
Each year it takes less and less time to cross the country and more time to get to and from work.
“Otto, and in an earthquake, it’s Toto.”
``Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.’’ – Lou Reed.
I was thinking about using this for my yearbook quote. Then I read a review that said the song this is from is about necrophilia, and I listened to the song again, and I trashed that idea…
I ended up using Bukowski’s ``some people never go crazy. / what terrible lives / they must lead.’’ but that seems kinda arrogant in retrospect.
Also considered some Tom Waits quotes. He’s always fun to quote. Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat; never drive a car when you're dead.'' I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.’’
``Beware of elaborate telescopic meat; it will find its way back to the forest.’’

Maybe I should read some of the other posts before replying, next time…

“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”
– Douglas Adams’s Dirk Gently, Holistic Detective
Otto, from some of your other posts, it seems like you follow the Simpsons, so how about some Simpsons quotes?
Lionel Hutz, when Homer is thrown out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant:
“Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film ‘The Neverending Story’.”
Groundskeeper Willie, after seeing Selma Bouvier’s dating service video:
“Ach! Back to the loch with ye, nessie!”
Grandpa Simpson, when baby-sitting Bart:
“Oral thermometer, my eye! Think warm thoughts, boy, 'cause this is mighty cold!”
Young Ralph:
"The happiest day in my life was when the doctor told me that I didn’t have worms anymore. "
Patty, after seeing Homer naked:
“There goes the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality.”
Comic Book Guy:
“Last night’s ‘Itchy and Scratchy Show’ was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.”
Reverend Lovejoy, walking his dog on Ned Flanders’ lawn:
“Come on boy. This is the spot, right here. That’s a good boy. Do your sinful, dirty business.”
Bart:
“What a day, eh Milhouse? The sun is out, bird are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them… as is my understanding…”
I think it speaks to the duality of Otto, sir.
