    And physics...

    And....

    But, "Godspeed?" Really Neil?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        If you go to the dictionary and look up 'buzzkill,' there will be a picture of this guy in the description.

                            By the way reindeer is delicious. I had it a couple of times in Finland. As a steak and as a burger.

                                      There's certainly a lot worse out there.

                                      I don't think it's really all that awful, either, I just think it's a dick thing to do.

                                      Trust me, I would know.

                                      Please love yourself.
