Rules of the Universe ~ BevnTempe

universe[1]

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think; they don’t do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

6. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention! It never fails.)

7. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

8. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

9. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

10. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

11. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

12. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it. Embrace your differences. Love each other.

13. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

14. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

15. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

16. Opportunities always look bigger after they have passed.

17. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

18. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

19. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

20. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

21. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

22. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

23. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.

24. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and "mental illness."

25. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

26. You should not confuse your career with your life.

27. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

28. Never lick a steak knife.

29. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

30. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

31. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

32. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

33. Your friends love you anyway.

34. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

35. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

Veterans Day is always a sobering reminder of the cost of freedom, particularly in a time of war.  This year we also morn the victims of the Fort Hood shootings.  Today is a day to give thanks for those who have served their country.

The most significant symbolic event in the fight against totalitarianism  in the latter part of the 20th century occurred twenty years ago today.  Backchannel blog researchers have unearthed the untold story on how it went down:

Reagan:  Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Gorbachev:  Dude-ski, no problemo.  Anything else?

Conservative Concedes in Upstate Congressional Race
A staunch conservative conceded defeat to a moderate Democrat
early Wednesday morning in a hard-fought contest for New York
State’s northernmost Congressional seat, a race that exposed
divisions among Republicans over how far outside the party’s
base they should reach as they look to rebuild.
With 88 percent of precincts reporting, the Democrat, Bill
Owens, was leading with 49 percent of the vote, while the
Conservative Party candidate, Douglas L. Hoffman, had 45.5
percent.
