That one might slip through if they thought it was satire.
The biggest liberal among the grad students, back during the election, had this "Bush/Cheney" fake shirt that said something about "Eat the Poor". I really wanted one...
When I was at the U. of WA. the 'young republican club' had a great t-shirt: "Burn the poor to heat the rich".
Unfortunately it was too much sarcasm for the young socialists to handle, and they really took it seriously.
Idiots. :-)
What a big old goofy face Homer's wearing! I'm sure he's glad to be home!
Anybody heard from Talon tonight? ;o)
Then he trotted right up to me... feeling good.
I couldn't detect any traces of guilt.
Talon would never turn over something as incredibly useful as a free jar of explosives.
That first one is a *great* shot of Bay. Wow. That's a cool photo.
Yeah - once in a while I capture a moment!
...and it's always an accident when it works.
I'd rather be lucky than good.
So far, my whole career is built on this premise. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but it has worked out OK for me... :-)
Lucky is a hard thing to teach... You've either got it or ya don't.
That's why teaching doesn't pay as well as it might, methinks.
Brilliance still pays... in spite of education to the contrary.
Stupidity and Blind Luck, however....
I'm neither lucky nor good, which explains why I'm having no luck on the job front < /Eeyore>
Back from the hike/picnic/thing. It was OK, I guess. Not that many people showed up, and at one point near the end, a rather odd religious argument got started...I kinda knew some people were "community" Catholics, i.e. there for fellowship rather than because they really think it's meaningful, but I was still surprised at some of the things that were said. *sigh* Like...that God is the only one in heaven, and people won't actually be raised to be judged until the end of the world.
And I just hadda jump in. Didn't get heated, but I'm soooo not good at taking sides, and I'm feeling really drained.
"Wouldn't it be great if we lived in a world where insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? - if ~needy~ were a turn-on?" ~Albert Brooks, Broadcast News.
I've heard that one... Heck, who knows, but I hope either way we get new bodies or we are gonna be ripe by then.
People should know better than to predict things outside of their control, especially where The Lord Thy God is concerned. He's got a talent for making fools of predictors. Me, I'll wait to see what happens and then pretty much run with it. :-)
But with regard to luckyness and/or goodness: I'm afraid there is no good way to know the difference.
