Six Word Saturday - 16 March 2013

"The nice thing about being an empty headed pessimist is that your glass is only half air." - Bauvard



I CAN RESIST ANYTHING BUT TEMPTATION!
- Oscar Wilde



Especially my temptation to share a superb quote -
 
and so begins my friendship with the thoughts of Bauvard.
 
 

EVER READ THE PRINCE OF PLUNGERS?



Ever heard of author Bauvard before?

I'm very fond of quotes, and have a wide range of quotation books besides, my Google usage. This is how I stumbled upon Bauvard.  Not that I appreciate all quotes by Bauvard, but many are quite perfect for my liking.





Cover of "The Prince of Plungers
by Bauvard
 
 
Description of The Prince of Plungers-
A middle class comedy of manners which lives up to working class standards.  A witty farce in the tradition of Wilde and Moliere, full of highly stylized dialogue mixed with the most implausible plot and characterization imaginable.
 
He's also the author to Evergreens Are Prudish.

For temptation, substitute chocolate!

The other one sounds like an interesting read.

I don't mind having my glass half full of air.
No, never heard of him, Karen, but he sounds like an interesting chap.
