question from Lustii Herring

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a taxi?

A man more gentile than myself would say “7!”. Sadly, normal service can not be resumed in time for the 2012 olympic games, despite all assurances being made by the proper authorities, at the proper time, and on the proper - and rose-scented, though this is optional - paper.

Imagine life now, go on, imagine it. Don’t complain to me that you don’t have to imagine it as it’s happening as it happens, that’s beside the point. To the other side of the point is a small Norwegian rabbit by the name of Olaf, who is slowly dying of myxomatosis. As you can see, the point is flanked by a diseased bunny and an abstract concept of reality.

Tell me this, would you challenge this point’s authority?

That sovereignty comes from the universe - each passing moment beds the point in as divine, the longer you stop to think about it the more powerful it is. If you wanted to do something, you should have put up your fight 158 years ago, at the time of the big bang.
