I've always meant to read the book, since reading the part about why a towel is the most useful thing to bring when travelling around the universe. Now that I've finished my degree ( which reminds me, must make celebration thread), I'll have the time to read it at last.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen"
Samuel Adams

I'd offer a toast in his name, but with his sense of humor, I think he'd rather if I ate a pizza in his memory. Or something.

"I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, 'All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what's it going to be?' We all know what was chosen" - Rush Limbaugh, Feb. 23, 1994.

Yeah, but only if you go to England and try to get one delivered.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised if Simon and I are the only ones who get that joke...

Maybe we should glue "Little Simon" to the floor while we're at it.

Anyone seen a Coke machine around here?

I'm going to find a car that looks like it knows where it's going, and follow it.

Should we kneecap you upfront, Rob? Or wait a few months?
