You wouldn't believe the money that gets spent on that **** up here...

 

Like golf down here? Lol I completely don't get it

 

i'll take running from alligators for $200

 

Pro tip: Don't run in a straight line, they'll always outrun you. Run zig-zag, they can't turn quickly. I'm sure there's a clever joke in there about some drag-racing American car trying to autocross, but it's too early to be clever.

 

There are few books which go with midnight, solitude, and a candle. It is much easier to say what does not please us then than what is exactly right. The book must be, anyhow, something benedictory by a sinning fellow-man. Cleverness would be repellent at such an hour. Cleverness, anyhow, is the level of mediocrity to-day we are all too infernally clever. The first witty and perverse paradox blows out the candle. Only the sick in mind crave cleverness, as a morbid body turns to drink. The late candle throws its beams a great distance; and its rays make transparent much that seemed massy and important. The mind at rest beside that light, when the house is asleep, and the consequential affairs of the urgent world have diminished to their right proportions because we see them distantly from another and a more tranquil place in the heavens where duty, honour, witty arguments, controversial logic on great questions, appear such as will leave hardly a trace of fossil in the indurated mud which presently will cover them--the mind then certainly smiles at cleverness.



For though at that hour the body may be dog-tired, the mind is white and lucid, like that of a man from whom a fever has abated. It is bare of illusions. It has a sharp focus, small and star-like, as a clear and lonely flame left burning by the altar of a shrine from which all have gone but one. A book which approaches that light in the privacy of that place must come, as it were, with honest and open pages.

fall not in love therfore it will stick to your face

 

The exact reason for retirement homes. I think they started as reality tv shows that never made it anywhere. Why else would you put so many old people that can hardly move into areas with gator infested waters 3 feet from their house? Just feed the gators some good drugs and it sounds like a damn good show to me..
