The Good Reverend Roger

Thought for Tuesday, September 11th, 2012: 

It's always darkest right right before the dawn.  But what the fuck are you doing up that early?  What makes you think dawn will be better?  It's the same shit, plus you have the sun in your eyes.  No good will come of this.  Go back to bed, and get up at a decent fucking hour.  Like noon.

" It's just that Depeche Mode were a bunch of optimistic loveburgers."
- TGRR, shaming himself forever, 7/8/2017

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

I always thought that "it's darkest before dawn" was a silly phrase.

Firstly that's largely dependent on lunar phase. Sometime's it's darkest at midnight, or just after sunset. This is also barring the occurrence of a nearby supernova, and oh man I hope that happens soon, that would be some awesome shit to look at.

Secondly, it's stating the obvious. Your lungs are fullest when you breathe in. You're always the hungriest before you eat. You always have to piss the most after the third beer and you haven't broken the seal. Why state the obvious? I mean, I know that it makes for song lyrics that seem deep on the surface but actually aren't. But aside from that the statement isn't particularly useful.

Technically that's called drowning.

OH, YOU WANT :REQUIA:?  I'LL GIVE YOU :REQUIA:


The phrase is a metaphor for despair and hope: It's a poetic representation of the old saying "This, too, shall pass."  It's meant to give comfort to those who grieve, by telling them, when they're at their most miserable and desperate, the will get through it and eventually find themselves in a better head state.  It means, "it gets better".



Of course, the proper phrase should be,



"It's always darkest before you're eaten by a Grue."

It's been getting passed around facebook for at least a couple of weeks, I'm guessing it's yoinkable.

Yup, it's not mine, and I didn't ask permission. I got it from the Facebook Page "Being Liberal", but it wasn't theirs either.
