"If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."

If life is a barbecue, bring preferred sauce and a pair of mitts, wonder why when the food tastes like what cooked it ... and maybe watch Emeril every once in awhile.
 

I think it's kind of ironic that our armies are burning huge quantities of oil to kill people so we can burn their oil, and yet it's burning oil that's going to get us all killed.

Hi. My name is Morgan. It is highly likely that I own more socks than you do. Also, I can drive a tractor.  After many hours of meditation, Confucius was once heard to utter, "One day, Morgan will rule the Universe. If you give him all of your money, perhaps you will not be covered in chocolate and cast into a pen of starving pigs. Your lucky numbers are 12, 15, 1, 34, 7, and 46."

I haven't watched television at home in 6 years.
Every year, I forget a little bit more about how to use commas.
My 300,000-mile BMW is old enough to vote. Even though I just donated it to charity and bought a Subaru, it is still cooler than your car. 
I seldom win gold trophies. My therapist says it's because I'm a bad person. 

Steve the Ferret has left for greener pastures.

Erik the Robot Vacuum Cleaner has returned for cleaner carpets.

If you really want to know more, I'm sure I'll hear from you.

God damn it! Read these lyrics!

Sensitive Artist
by King Missile

I am a sensitive artist...
I am a sensitive artist.
Nobody understands me because I am so deep.
In my work I make allusions to books that nobody else has read,
Music that nobody else has heard,
And art that nobody else has seen.
I can't help it
Because I am so much more intelligent
And well-rounded
Than everyone who surrounds me.
I stopped watching tv when I was six months old
Because it was so boring and stupid
And started reading books
And going to recitals
And art galleries.
I don't go to recitals anymore
Because my hearing is too sensitive
And I don't go to art galleries anymore
Because there are people there
And I can't deal with people
Because they don't understand me.
I stay home
Reading books that are beneath me,
And working on my work,
Which no one understands
I am sensitive...
I am a sensitive artist...
