More TF2 references in real life

[strabes]

Warning: literature nerd post.

Generally I'm not much for poetry but in an effort to broaden my horizons I'm currently reading through Poems by Emily Dickinson (http://amzn.com/B0084BXPW2), and I came across this gem:

The Soul unto itself (683)

by Emily Dickinson

The Soul unto itself
Is an imperial friend
Or the most agonizing spy
An Enemy could send

Secure against its own
No treason it can fear
Itself its Sovereign, of itself
The Soul should stand in Awe.

Honorable mention:

IS Heaven a physician?
They say that He can heal;
But medicine posthumous
Is unavailable.

Is Heaven an exchequer?
They speak of what we owe;
But that negotiation
I ’m not a party to.

Not good enough. I want downloadable skins that will turn the 9 classes in to classic authors and poets. It'll be great. Dickinson as medic! Mark Twain as soldier, Tenessee Williams as scout, Fyodor Doestovesky as heavy-

Maybe we can get Stephanie Meyer to be the cart.

That would be disturbingly hilarious.

Maybe we can get Stephanie Meyer to be the cart.

Only if she blows up RIGHT at the beginning and something WORTH pushing takes her place.

No, no, see, pushing her off a cliff and then watching her explode is the reward. The real trick is getting the defending team to stop you. Most of the time they will just watch and cheer.
