Selected quotations:

I may not here omit those two main plagues and common dotages of human kind, wine and women, which have infatuated and besotted myriads of people; they go commonly together.

Note to self: develop more skilled wine palate.
From Robert Burton. 1577-1640, Anatomy of Melancholy.

That's odd, I've never found women's anatomy to be at all melancholic.

To continue:

Qui vino indulget, quemque alea decoquit, ille
In venerem putret
(He who is given to drink, and whom the dice are despoiling, is the one who rots away in sexual vice).

—Persius: Satires
Note to self: must find dice from AD&D days...

I just noticed, there is an HTML CITE tag, but no CUTE tag.
I think there should be a CUTE tag. posted by Richard at 10:54 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
