This would've been good advice for some guy I saw in a pickup outside WalMart Friday night. A somewhat-older-than-middle-aged man crossed in front of this guy, in the crosswalk in front of the store. And yet the driver felt compelled to hang his head out his open window and snarl something along the lines of how *he* wanted to get home sometime tonight *too*. Wow. Happy Friday to you too, buddy. :roll:

Just found this:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain
(hmm, that's pretty good. I may have to put that in my sig...)

The Cigarette-Smoking Man said
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
