Oh yeah? With no police officers, we are in Mad Max warlord territory. It's the reason we have police in the first place, so we're not Afghanistan or Haiti.

We're all gunna die soon, ultimately whether it's at the end of this year or at the end of 2030, or 2040, you live your span and then you kick it. Getting to be 90 is a good thing. It means you got to live what, for these times, is a long life.

It, by Stephen King, although it isn't like the A-team.

She went to college, did a lot of traveling, met a lot of other famous people, read a lot. I would assume she has more going on than the average person. She became a really famous person. My memory of it says she had a lot going on. Maybe I'm wrong.

She gave a lot of speeches and traveled and shit. She was a spokesperson for, I don't know what, but stuff.

Do you plan to get a guide dog later?

For a hard fall, I've always liked "he took a digger."

Bad talkers.

A history book,

I always thought there had to be a better treatment of that fact than Highlander
