Erm... This isn't exactly a stunning revelation.

Though who's interviewing him? The guy was pushing pretty hard to get him to admit it.

I'm almost certainly horribly misquoting and I don't even remember whom I'm almost certainly horribly misquoting but someone, somewhere, sometime said something that basically amounts to 'War is always the worst solution to a problem. But sometimes, it is the ONLY one.'
'I wonder how far the barometer sunk.'-'All der way. Trust me on dis.'
'Go ahead. Bake my quiche'.
'Undead or alive, you're coming with me.'
'Detritus?'-'Yessir?'-'Never go to Klatch'.-'Yessir.'
'Many fine old manuscripts in that place, I believe. Without price, I'm told.'-'Yes, sir. Certainly worthless, sir.'-'Is it possible you misunderstood what I just said, Commander?'
'Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a sword a little'

I would invite people to read my signature quote...
Gaze upon my works, ye mighty, and despair...

Havoc: "So basically if you side against him, he summons Cthulu."
Hotfoot: "Yes, which is reasonable."

It's not a stunning revelation. But I thought the title was humorous, so I went and posted it. :smile:
