It would be nice for all the Vonnegut fans out there to change their profile quotes to a favorite quote from Vonnegut for a week.

And I like the way the spell check lets his name through without suggesting correction.

We got some discount knowledge at the junior college
Where we majored in Beer and Girls.
It was all pretty funny 'til we ran out of money
And they threw us out into the world.

These are my people...

I play so many different people at any given moment, that sometimes I forget who I am.

What was that Acrimone asked a while ago... What Would Grasshopper Do? I wish I knew who the ideal Grasshopper was. I'd pretend to be her all the time.
