So, yeah, I have been posting random quips over at google+ since I've had an account (and no, I'm not part of the "first" batch, whatever that means). None of them are original, of course, since it has been a habit of mine to copy down a quip from wherever I come across one on the net that merited being, well, copied down. Wily, yes? One memorable quote I stumbled upon is: To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. This line spoke SO MUCH truth that I decided to live by it. Starting with sharing it in google+; the fact that it was authorless when I found it online did not stop me at all. Somebody in the comments section asked where I get these one-liners (cause apparently these rouse insecurity in them haha), and I was about to write a real snappy comeback but somebody neat me to it when they said "Steven Wright". I was like, Steven who? Good thing google is my cousin, and he introduced me to who Steven Wright just is -- the owner of the mouth where words loved most by the wittiest of us come out. So, yeah. Thanks Steven Wright for being you. (And thanks google for being related to me, I'll never disown you.)
