2-Howl - Allen Ginsberg VS. Song To Be Sung by the Father of Infant Female Children - Ogden Nash

3-Jabberwocky VS. the Orphic Hymn to Persephone

4- The Waste Land by TS Eliot  VS. Emily

5- Ozymandias - Percy Shelley VS. Darkness -Lord Byron

6- Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge VS. Oh The Places You'll Go - Suess

Damn, I can't decide for 2. Ozymandias wins 5 though.

By the way, welcome back Hoshi. Want to start up that story again?
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

Resistance is Fertile.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

#5 is the best choice, of many good ones.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
