Strabo 3.1.5

ταῦτα μὲν οὖν οὕτως ἔχειν ἐγχωρεῖ καὶ δεῖ πιστεύειν: ἃ δὲ τοῖς πολλοῖς καὶ χυδαίοις ὁμοίως εἴρηκεν, οὐ πάνυ. λέγειν γὰρ δή φησι Ποσειδώνιος τοὺς πολλοὺς μείζω δύνειν τὸν ἥλιον ἐν τῇ παρωκεανίτιδι καὶ μετὰ ψόφου παραπλησίως ὡσανεὶ σίζοντος τοῦ πελάγους κατὰ σβέσιν αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸ ἐμπίπτειν εἰς τὸν βυθόν

Now these assertions of Artemidorus are allowable, and we should believe them; but the stories which he has told in agreement with the common crowd of people are by no means to be believed. For example, it is a general saying among the people, according to Poseidonius, that in the regions along the coast of the ocean the sun is larger when it sets, and that it sets with a noise much as if the sea were sizzling to extinguish it because of its falling into the depths.

“Now I am your father,” he said pointing with two fingers to an area above his stomach, “No? Now he is your father,” now pointing to his own father with the same two fingers, but in the area of the throat, as if it were specifically the throat of the elder Jammer that were her father…. [Achuches/ 2]

Melville, The Confidence Man:

“Who?” Then drawing near, as if for a good long explanatory chat, his left hand spread, and his pipe-stem coming crosswise down upon it like a ferule, “You think amiss of me. Now to undeceive you, I will just enter into a little argument and–“

Ferule.

They went on to become the first overtly Christian heavy metal band to gain acceptance in the mainstream… Stryper. Origin of name (which still doesn’t totally make sense) …:

The name “Stryper” derives from the King James Version of the Bible. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The Tillman Act (1907) (named after Benjamin Tillman):

Roosevelt used his Presidential stature to influence public opinion and to persuade Congress. The NPLA and other grassroots organizations also pushed for reform. The result of their efforts was the enactment of the Tillman Act of 1907. The act specifically prohibited direct contributions from corporations and businesses to political parties and election committees. It was the first law on the books to specifically address campaign funding on the federal level.

Unfortunately for those who wished for an incorrupt government, this law was easily circumvented. Businesses and corporations would give their employees large bonuses with the understanding that the bonus would be given to a company “endorsed” candidate. The corporations thus found a loophole, gained political access, and received an additional tax deduction for “employee benefits.”

“It ill befits anyone to make himself known save him who has qualities to be imitated, and whose life and opinions may serve as a model.” (Montaigne, Of Giving the Lie — trans. Frame)

Pindar, Olympian 7.52-53 [English]:

ἔργα δὲ ζωοῖσιν ἑρπόντεσσί θ᾽ ὁμοῖα κέλευθοι φέρον:
ἦν δὲ κλέος βαθύ.

In conversation I’d called Shelley Duvall Shelly Long. Shelley Long was in Cheers I was told, are you sure you don’t mean Shelly Duvalle.

I’d gotten mixed up, I confessed. Then the person I’d spoken to said, “I thought MASH was a little bit mean-spirited, I have to admit. I really just don’t like bullies,” my friend then said. I said, “I agree with you.” I said, “I think you’re right” (I too thought MASH, the movie, might have been a little bit mean-spirited.) But which Altman do you like, I said. Gossford Park. Uh huh, I nodded, affirming.

I was thinking that, though I liked that one too, it probably wasn’t the best of Altman. I thought the one they said was the best was probably Nashville (but did they say that one was the best or another?), and I thought “California Split… Three Women” and I kind of wanted to see California Split again but I thought Three Women, which I didn’t want to see again, might be better put together. I’d like to see that one again also, I then said, speaking of Gossford Park.
