From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-03-20:

"In my culture, if you intend on marrying a woman you must first promise that you will provide for her. This means that you will promise to bring meat to the dinner table every day and by doing so you will impress her and her family. But if you say that in Ithaca, New York where I now reside, you'll never get married. Why? Everyone in Ithaca is a vegetarian. So instead you impress a woman by showing your ability to identify sprouts and tofu." -- musician Samite Mulondo, in the liner notes to his song Mwatu on the album Tunula Eno (Triloka/Artemis).

Happy Cheese Weasel Day, everyone!

"Who Brings the Cheese on April 3rd?
It's the Cheese Weasel!
He's not a silly bunny or a reindeer or a bird
He's the Cheese Weasel!
He's got a funny little tail and funny buck teeth
and he doesn't bring fish and he doesn't bring beef
so you'd better be good if you want to get some cheese
from the Cheese Weasel!!!!!"
