Title: Happy OR KILL ME Day!
Post by: Doktor Howl on March 24, 2010, 12:46:35 AM
On this date, 235 years ago, Patrick Henry stuck his head in a noose (damn near literally), and told the King of England to kiss his spotty arse...and thus "Or Kill Me" was born as a concept, though he had in fact phrased it "or give me death".

Glad to hear that I wasn't too far off the mark in my estimation of the phrase!

Now I can spend the next four years furtively deconstructing "Okay for now".

Doing things every day makes people get used to them.

Good.

They should get used to some good things, to balance all the horrible shit we've gotten used to.

Interesting thought:  if we were used to all the horrible shit in the world, but not used to anything good, how bad would life really be?

Well, pretty bad actually.  But still, interesting thought.
