I was wikisurfing, and linked onto the Cruella deVil page [yanno. The lady from 101 Dalmations?]. Apparently, the novel version of Cruella deVil was inspired by a heiress and actress named Tallulah Bankhead.
Upon perusing the Tallulah Bankhead wikipedia entry, I found these gorgeous gems of quotes. Please keep in mind Tallulah was actively bisexual [leaning heavily towards lesbianism], and rather a notorious party girl.
" I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me." "My father warned me about men and booze... but he never said anything about women and cocaine." " Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it."

If I'm late, start without me? That's all kind of awesome.

I agree. I read that one and almost choked. It's just... just.. Man. I wish -I- was that brilliantly witty. And so we get context, here's a picture of Miss Bankhead... home.earthlink.net/~tgrillo/bankhead.jpgAnd apparently, when she was dying of pneumonia in a hospital, her last words were, "codeine...bourbon.." Man.

Absolutely. I wanna grow up to be kind of like her. XD Less cocaine, more attitude. For whatever reason, though, I really, REALLY like that comment about men and booze, and women and cocaine. XD

nunc est bibendum! A wonderful example of Latin being quoted out of context. 'Now it is requiring to be drunk!' ~Quintus Horatius Flaccus (or as he's known in English, 'The Poet Horace')

*snort* Nolite te bastardes corborundorum. XD "never let the bastards grind you down"... and that, I ganked SHAMELESSLY from Atwood. XD Nothin' like some Latin to lighten the mood.

"Things to do, people to damage." - Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere. ♥ That particular quote, book, author, etc.
The other necessary quote (since we seem to be all about the Latin today...) is from The Sherwood Ring, by Elizabeth Marie Pope.
"Quod desidero obtineo."
Roughly translated, it means 'I get what I want', and is much funnier in context, since the silly scottish man saying is is trying to convince his lover to marry him.

Literally, That which I desire, I obtain(gain, get)
I never thought Latin would come in handy...

A sound mine in a sound body.... We made many twists, that usually had something to having sex.... Such as a sound .... well you get the idea ^^
