Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What is the difference between a tailored suit and a non-tailored suit? Is "non-tailored" the same as "off the rack"?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm guessing they're getting at style there, as in a traditional look, though I'd be hard pressed to articulate the alternative.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They don't want people showing up in track suits?

Well, I guess I could kinda see for women, because I've seen some crazy "suits" out there...but men? I mean, that's not going to rule out crazy colors, which is the only crazy men's suit style I can think of...

I'm guessing a tailored suit means jacket, pants, shirt and tie (and vest?) that match vs coordinates (dress pants and sport coats) that might be seen as more casual. Also, it's suiting material vs. cotton, tweed, cordoroy.

t random

All but 3.5 years of my life have echoed with trains. In both houses I grew up in, the sound of the freight whistle and track rumble were constants. In the last house, I could stand in the front and watch a train track across the valley below, its whistle slowly reaching me. Today, I live along a freight line and the passage of the train rattles my wineglasses. I barely notice, but when I do, it never fails to elicit smile.

I can't imagine not hearing the call of trains. t /random

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Pic. Tures.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ahhhh. Taxes are done.

I owed $400 less than I thought, because I didn't think of my deductions. So I can keep some of the cash I socked away!

Hooray! I think. I hate giving my money to the guvmint.

Supposedly I'll be getting that $600 loan from Dubyuh. Why can't they just take the money out of that? Bah.

Tom, you're so close to being Snoop Dogg in Lodi Dodi -- except his were all blue chucks.
