It was possibly the most circumspect advance in the history of military manoeuvres, right down at the bottom end of the scale that things like the Charge of the Light Brigade are at the top of.

#GNUTerryPratchett - who singlehandedly made humanity fractionally better.
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

@Natasha_Jay I’ll bet Lord Vetinary of Ankh-Morpork routinely gives his city’s more rebellious citizens, through admittedly circuitous means, the education they need to overthrow him. He knows such ambitions are inevitable, and it’s easier to counteract them if he knows exactly what they’re planning to do going in.
I would kindly request all citizens of the Drum to vote for Galaxy Quest in this poll. Never give up, never surrender! #gnuterrypratchett #gnualanrickman

The enemy wasn’t men, or women, or the old, or even the dead. It was just bleedin’ stupid people who came in all varieties. And no one had the right to be stupid. (Monstrous Regiment) #gnuterrypratchett

It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as
"slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had beed badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.
Ah, but has it been hedgehogged?

He was always at a loss when people acted like this. When machines went funny you just oiled them or prodded them or, if nothing else worked, hit them with a hammer. Nomes didn't respond well to this treatment.
