Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and I vote for shiny ponies, a surprise bag of money, more humane politics and politicians, and a beverage of choice

This is the kind of public policy that I fully endorse!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Shir, THESIS!!! Congratulations! I know it was a long haul for your brilliant and very deserving of all the honors self!

You've got my vote!

I'm just poking my nose in here to say I haven't done my greeting cards yet, but I fully intend to still, so don't give up on me! I bought stamps last week fully expecting to get them out this past weekend, but my still-not-quite-back-to-normal GI system had other ideas. But I will yet prevail!
