Life Goals.

[ghedji]

So I've been thinking a lot about the long term lately. How can I best prepare myself for living the life I want to lead in a world as uncertain as this? What skills and qualifications do I need to accomplish everything I'm setting out to do? What's the best way to navigate my life through the hoops of a market economy? And then it struck me -

so I'm sure there's a good reason why I didn't mention this at Randy's House of Pain on Sunday, but I believe that actually having sex is one of the prerequisites for contracting syphilis.

but you could try for yaws instead. you can contract it by merely making skin contact with an infected person and it's caused by the same type of bacteria. just something to think about.

Cold, Steve. Cold.

But perhaps you'd be willing to put your money where your mouth is. I purpose a gentlemen-ly wager in which a fortnight's ducats goes to he who contracts syphilis first, you or I. Then, as added bonus, we can sell our story to a major studio, where it will be synthesized into a terrible film starring Sean William Scott and Josh Harnett, featuring an hour and a half of recycled Animal House jokes and a nice pat lesson at the end (i.e. feelings are good, syphilis bad, assorted hollywood jive, etc.).

You "purpose" a wager? Well, I'm not too sure about that. But if you wanted to, say, "propose" a wager, I might be okay with that. But I don't want Sean William Scott or Josh Hartnett in a movie about me. I'm thinking more of Zach Braff.

Are you going to be at work tomorrow? I need a new SNES controller.

Sorry, last I checked, Zach Braff is not part of the Grammar Gestapo. Pointing out someone else's flawed homonym usage is really more of a Sean William Scott thing to do. Besides, with a plot like that, we'd be lucky to get Brecken Meyer and "the other dude" from Saving Silverman.

Yeah, I'll be working, and I just restocked the controllers on the shelf today. You have your pick from the finest SNES controllers El Salvador has to offer, though we may have a few more Mexican "Controller Especial"s left. They're especial. Apparently.
