You can't tell me people aren't doing shit like this on purpose, just to goof on the entire Internet (or at least the tumblr imbeciles)...

If you're going to try go, all the way...

Why, that's my second favo(u)rite Bukowski quote. Right after "No matter which way you turn, your ass is always behind you."

From "Women".

technically it is not improper to quote from a movie.
of course, they made the mistake to not tell so and certainly didn't do it the MLA-style, but I've seen much worse source-attributions in the web and in print.

But I do get your point , so let's not start discussing this.

let's not start discussing this.

If we got too deeply into it we'd probably have to change the attribution to Bukowski/Martin anyway.
