They're gonna wish they'd never invited me. I have a basement full of stuff I'm gonna send. They'll be out of room before I'm done.
If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it.
I liked not being the oldest person on the show.
I've learned... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
I'd be more willing to accept religion, even if I didn't believe it, if I thought it made people nicer to each other but I don't think it does.
Why am I an atheist? I ask you: Why is anybody not an atheist? Everyone starts out being an atheist. No one is born with belief in anything. Infants are atheists until they are indoctrinated. I resent anyone pushing their religion on me. I don't push my atheism on anybody else. Live and let live. Not many people practice that when it comes to religion.

When those waiters ask me if I want some fresh ground pepper, I ask if they have any aged pepper.
Do I have opinions that might piss people off? Yes - that's what I'm here for.
