Where the Sidewalk ends ~ Shel Silverstein

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,

And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.

Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

The wit of Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce

  • Korea's pretty much the same story: the fighting goes on, the hatred, the violence, the senseless brutality, men behaving like animals - and then there's the war.
  • Don't worry, I've never lost a patient. I never lose anything. Have you seen my stethoscope?
  • Let's shoot him and put him out of our misery
  • Frank was once the innocent victim of possession. Through some tragic error they exorcized the nice guy and left that.
  • I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!
  • You know what they say Charles, time wounds all heals.
  • Look, I realize I'm dressed to kill, but don't take it literally.

*HELLBOY* ArtWork from DeviantArt.com


Was watching HellboyII: The Golden Army on HBO...and was quite entertained. Pretty cool flick....state-of-the-art technology, painstaking attention to detail and made all the more amusing thanks to Hellboy(Ron Perlman)'s caché of sarcastic quips, fisticuffs and dry-wit. The inner-geek in me was mighty pleased...

Say hello to my new favourite flawed-hero :)
