Hey everyone, the first installment of @opera-simplified will likely drop on the 15th or 16th! In the meantime, please enjoy this little witticism from my drafts of it:

A Monk: CHARLES THOUGHT HE WAS SO COOL AND THAT HE COULD RULE EVERYTHING BUT IN HIS PRIDE HE FORGOT ABOUT GOD AND WAS THUS STRUCK DOWN SO LET THAT BE A LESSON TO Y’ALL

God, presumably from somewhere: ooooooooooooor it could mean that he was human and he died like every human does. just a thought. 

A Monk: WHAT WAS THAT ALSO GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIM

stay tuned!

Nobody minds coarseness, but one must draw the line at cruelty.

"I can't say I had any great fancy for figuring as part of Loder's domestic furniture. I've always hate things made in the shape of things--volumes of Dickens that turn out to be a biscuit-tin, and dodges like that; and, though I take no overwhelming interest in my own funeral, I should like it to be in good taste."

"A lie is half-way round the world before truth has got its boots on."

-- Fittingly, the original source is unknown, but most often this is misattributed to Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Winston Churchill
