Cracker, actually (fairly large image).

That's a genuine American military poster - note the .mil domain name. You can also change the posterX number from 1 through 13 to see other efforts...

Mother/Daughter conversation:

Mother: "Life is so meaningless"
Daughter: "So what, you mopey goth fuck, and by the way your hair looks very nice today"

(by the way, I had to correct the spelling of 'analysis' all the way through this... 'analasys' indeed!)

Potentially inspirational thought for the weekend:

"Largely what has got me through today is a species of savage determination to exist - since it's more than possible that my death would make the world a better place, and I certainly don't want to do that."

(lightly edited from an entry in jinxx's journal)

An analogy...

Bit of a tangential thought process that just occurred after posting this comment, might appeal to the bikers and cyclists amongst us...

Buses and Bullies

Buses are the exact road-going equivalent of the cliche school bully. They're big, heavy, and a bit, well, slow. They use their greater size to physically intimidate those around them who aren't so slow, occasionally causing quite serious injury in the process. Physical retaliation is usually pointless, although occasionally a well-aimed blow can have some effect. More useful is to report them to the authorities, which although it feels rather less satisfactory than just striking back, can potentially cause much more serious and long-lasting problems for them...

Erm, that was it, I think. And I haven't even been smoking.
