I'm the guy who's still there at three in the morning in an empty hall, with tumbleweed blowing past, sitting there next to horse skeletons and starving vultures, waiting for the airport workers to finish their smack break and grub around in the back of the airplane for my bag. Which usually comes out looking like they've been having group sex on it. So, five or six years ago, I decided that if it didn't fit into a carry-on bag, I wasn't taking it." - Warren Ellis

"Resurgence? I'm sorry. I don't know what that means." - Gold medal-winning-gymnast CARLY PATTERSON, 16, when asked by talk show host DAVID LETTERMAN about the resurgence of U.S. women's gymnastics in the Olympics.
