- A Pot Shot from Asheligh Brilliant
I was looking for a quote in one of the many online quotesites when I came across several attributed to someone called Ashleigh Brilliant, a name I had never heard. Many of his quotes made me chuckle and some had an Oscar Wilde-ish bite. For instance:
My play was a complete success. The audience was a failure.
Looking him up, I discovered he is a British-born epigrammist (yes, I said epigrammist) living in Santa Barbara who has a syndicated feature called Pot-Shots, described as “Brilliant thoughts in 17 words or less“, which features his clever epigrams and line drawings in a small postcard shaped box. His website features many of his best works ( and some not so) for sale in many forms. Mugs. T-shirts. Postcards. Placemats.
Placemats?
In other words, the guy is a character who is not afraid to market his unique personality. Good for him. Take a moment and check out his site. It’s entertaining and has a real human feel.
Here’s another of his bon mots:
I waited and waited, and when no message came, I knew it must have been from you.
