smart action feels
Counterintuitive action makes a fellow feel smart.
real opposites action
Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.
stars dancing trying
If I were trying to avoid embarrassment, I wouldn't have stumbled my way through 'Dancing with the Stars.'
light car rivals
I've never revved my car at a light for an attractive woman or an auto-rival, not even as a joke.
people contact performers
I have more contact with people who consume, for lack of a better word, my product than any other performers.
fun bird feelings
I love the feeling of shredded wheat. I love healthy bird food with a fun-to-eat feel. Then you spray them with sugar, and I'm there.
book dark light
I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.
piano color matching
I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that's the same color. I tend to overthink things.
cheesy magic cold
I intend to do the Penn & Teller show until they pry my cheesy magic wand from my cold dead fingers.
thinking better-life evidence
I have no evidence that libertarianism leads to a better life. I just think it is morally right.
government definitions done
I have a very specific definition of censorship. Censorship must be done by the government or it's not censorship.
christian want fundamentalist
I get along so much better with fundamentalist Christians than I do with wishy-washy liberals, who want everyone to get along.
libertarian speak democrat
I don't speak for all Libertarians any more than Sean Penn speaks for all Democrats.
technology light magic
For the most part, any serious magic show is not using very much technology newer than theatrical lights.
