    This isn’t the greatest sentence, this is just a tribute.

      Somewhat famously this line (the entire soliloquy actually) was improvised by Rutger Hauer in the moment, so not strictly written down. Just taking the piss mate, best fucking movie ever!

    It has not been written yet. But it will be soon. Look in the obituary sections.

    Personally I think the golden rule, it has many variations.

    e.g. What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.

    Then another is from V for Vendetta

    Beneath this mask, there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea, Mr Creedy. And ideas are bullet-proof!

          Don’t let your dreams stay dreams. I’m not saying it will be easy. Get an alligator and a pineapple costume. Sign up for tap lessons and bring them along. Volunteer as a docent at your local zoo. Success isn’t guaranteed, but I bet you’ll be surprised with how far you get.

            Thank you for your faith,…the alligator is likely to be my biggest challenge. Maybe a baby croc…or a Winnie dog in an alligator outfit……it’s the same thing really. I don’t suppose I even have to learn tap to teach it. So there’s a few hurdles down.

      At this juncture, I would point out that !floridaman@lemmy.world also accepts “Florida Woman” submissions.

      EDIT: Unfortunately, it appears to be fake.

1) Be nice and; have fun

In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.
