The meteor that caused moo mesa to rise? Fallen eldar technology. The cow boys are walking around with modified shuriken pistols.

So I've been feeling a lot more nostalgic this past year, two years, and I stumbled across a great definition in one of the books I'm reading:

A longing for the past, not because it was better, but because it was.

And damn if that doesn't hit the nail on the head.

They're not worth their time in tears

Sounds a bit like a concept my people have called Hiraeth.

Found out about Samuel Johnson, and that guy gets me.

Quote
“Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o'clock is a scoundrel.”
 “He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
 “I do not care to speak ill of a man behind his back, but I believe he is an attorney.”

Also managed to burn himself and everyone else.
