Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm going with more of a Simpsons approach...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

^^^^^^ THAT YES

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

^^^Yes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Let's not challenge fate.

I'm with Aurelia. I fear "Worst. Year. Ever." will make 2017 say, "Just watch me."

Because books.

Agreed, Sue (and aurelia).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!

I like this so much.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Let's not challenge fate.

This was my immediate thought.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

This has my vote.

People. Stop asking, "What could go wrong?" or "How much worse can it get?" Also, do not say, "Could be worse, could be raining."
