El hijoputa más peligroso del mundo

"Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken."

Snow Crash. Neal Stephenson


Debido a que la juventud se ha ampliado en los últimos veinte años yo aplazaría esa frontera de los veinticinco, pero sea como sea Neal Stephenson nos tiene calados.

Condescending Wonka is condescending

Condescending Wonka no solo es un meme gracioso, es que encima es Gene Wilder.


Y todo es mejor si está Gene Wilder implicado.
