Well, I, uh, don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir. — Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

It’s go, time, citizens.  If the incumbent on your ballot has shown that they don’t trust you to act like an adult, then it’s time to show them the door.  If they support your beliefs, then reward them with your vote.  If a ballot initiative will increase government in any way, I ask that you vote against it.  If it increases the scope of your rights, then I ask that you vote for it.  In other words, if the people who want your vote have betrayed you, or if someone wants to increase oppressive government, then vote accordingly

If you are a registered voter and haven’t been out to the polls yet, get off your butt and do it.  You still have time to get your sample ballot, do a little research, and make your vote.  Is your vote going to make as much impact as a snowball rolling downhill?  Probably not.  But you get enough snow going down the mountain, and it will sweep away anything that stands against it.

If for no other reason than you can look yourself in the mirror and say “I did what I could”, please go out and vote.

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now. — Christmas Vacation

Life is going to throw you curve balls.  You can train and prepare all you want, but every so often something is going to come along that surprises you.  You can let that roll over you, or you can adapt and use them.

They say a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. Well, with God as my witness, I am that fool! — The Addams Family

There should come a time when you look at a project and say “This I cannot do myself.”.  There’s a reason that the term “WECSOG” exists.  Knowing what you can do well, and what you really ought to pay someone else to do, is an important step toward success.

I really wish I had learned that lesson several years and several thousand dollars in building supplies earlier than I did.

Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make. — Dracula

Why are we fascinated by the macabre?  Movie monsters, sparkly vampires, and zombies, not to mention just plain old slashers and boogiemen, make up a huge percentage of our entertainment.  Our legends and fairy tales include tales of murder, cannibalism, and unspeakable evil.  What causes us to stare so long into this abyss?

Me?  I just do it to meet friends and family. I love each and every one of you ghoulish, slime-dripping, raving lunatics.
