With you wife, its predictable and in a steady quantity.”

    Truman Capote
    “There is always something wrong with redheads. The hair is kinky, or it's the wrong color, too dark and tough, or too pale and sickly. And the skin - it rejects the elements: wind, sun, everything discolors it. A really beautiful redhead is rarer than a flawless forty-carat pigeon-blood ruby - or a flawed one, for that matter. But none of this was true of Kate. Her hair was like a winter sunset, lighted with the last of the pale afterglow. And the only redhead I've ever seen with a complexion to compare with hers was Pamela Churchill's. But then, Pam is English, she grew up saturated with dewy English mists, something every dermatologist ought to bottle.”
    Truman Capote, Answered Prayers

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “She believed, and was entitled to believe, I must say, that all human beings were evil by nature, whether tormentors or victims, or idle standers-by. They could only create meaningless tragedies, she said, since they weren't nearly intelligent enough to accomplish all the good they were meant to do.”
    Kurt Vonnegut, Jailbird

    “Q: Which party had wildest celebration and how did it play out?

    1) The 1972 Dolphins Super Bowl watching party for the David Tyree catch?

    2) The Jack Nicklaus day after Thanksgiving morning in 2009?

    3) The NFL referee Monday night football watching party at Ed Hochuli's house for the Seattle/Green Bay game?
    —Steve G., Salt Lake City

    SG: Here's my theory on the day after Thanksgiving in 2009: I think Jack Nicklaus heard the news, went out and bought a bottle of 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle, found an antique shotgun with 300 rounds of ammo, then drove to a secluded spot in the woods 25 miles away from any other human being. He got out of his car, started jumping around and screaming like he won the Super Bowl, did this for 20 solid minutes, then started swigging whiskey and shooting at things while whooping it up. Eventually, he drank the entire bottle, got back into his car and just started happily ramming into trees until the car stopped moving. Then he passed out in the driver's seat, woke up the next morning and walked home. Anyway, my answer is Jack Nicklaus.”
    Bill Simmons Grantland Mailbag Oct. 28 2012
