Title: Fidel's Thoughts of the Day
Post by: The Good Reverend Roger on September 11, 2012, 06:43:09 PM
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.

This is why I choose you as my personal deity.  Well, that, and the cool decoder ring.

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."

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.

It's always darkest right after the barstool hits you, and right before you start seeing stars.

It's always darkest after you get red hot pokers jammed in your eyes, or when you have your visual cortex removed.
