February 13, 635 AD
“Ah my love, you have come!” the haggard priest looked up through the bars of his prison cell.
“Galentine, my love, how could I stay away?” cried a visibly shaking Deja Nu.
“You should not see me in such poor condition…I would have you remember me….remember US…for what we once had, not how badly we were made to end,” sighed the distraught priest.
“Nonsense, my darling, our love will be remembered throughout the ages! I will see to it! I will wear red forever to honor you…to honor us!”
“Ah, red was always your color, my love” said the priest. “But our love was forbidden by the Church. Tomorrow I will pay the ultimate price upon the gallows in St. Peters square”.
“Oh Galentine, you mustn’t speak like that…surely the Holy Father will see how pure our love is..surely he will…” Deja Nu’s voice trailed off to a series of sobs.
The priest reached through the cell bars and stroked her long hair.
“I will go to my demise happily knowing that I love you, cheri” the priest said thickly. “I want you to know that I love every single thing about you….your hair, your lips, your adorable French accent that somehow transforms the letter “V” to “G”….”
“Oh, my Valentine!” said Deja Nu, taking special care to pronounce his name correctly this time. “You are a saint!”

I think Jefferson was right."My patriotism stops short of my stomach." — Bismarck to Wilhelm II, on being offered a glass of German champagne
"History is simply a piece of paper covered with print; the main thing is still to make history, not to write it." — Bismarck
"It is not the neutrals or the lukewarms who make history." — Hitler
"History, in general, only informs us what bad government is." — Jefferson
"I am determined to apply myself to a study that is hateful and disgusting to my very soul, but which is, above all studies, necessary for him who would be listened to as a mender of antiquated abuses. I mean that record of crimes and miseries — history." — P.B. Shelley
"History fades into fable; fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy; the inscription molders from the tablet: the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand; and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust?" — Washington Irving
"Man is fed with fables throughout his life, and leaves it in the belief that he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he has known nothing but what has passed under his own eye." — Jefferson
Just for fun...
Ishmael as Captain of the Titanic.
Right away the crew knew something was wrong. The tremendous bang and the sickening shudder of the deck beneath them caused a muted panic amongst the guests. Once 2nd Officer Rogers got word from the engine room that the ship was taking on water, he made his way at once to the bridge and alerted the Captain.
"Nonsense," smirked Capt. Ishmael. "This is the Titanic, boy. The ship is fine."
Just then an urgent plea came from the engineers to send men below decks to fight the fires in the boiler room.
"Well," said the Captain with a grin, "if there's a hole in the ship, I guess the water will put the fire out."
Appeals to First Mate A_J proved just as fruitless. "If the Captain says the boat is fine, then the boat is fine. Isn't that right, sir?" A_J looked up to the Captain with an ingratiating smile. The Captain nodded and patted the First Mate on the head.
Another sailor burst in and announced that the ship was beginning to list severely to the port side.
"The port side?" the Captain sneered, "You mean the left side, don't you sailor?"
"Er, yes sir, I suppose so, sir."
"Tsk tsk. Don't tell me you've bought into this left-leaning liberal agenda." The Captain turned to the crew assembled on the deck, "You are ALL so full of bullshit! If it was up to you fucktards, we'd all still be in the harbour wasting money and time on more lifeboats."
"Exactly," said First Mate A_J, "you tell 'em, sir."
