QUOTE
Don’t tell me what I’m not doing when I’m doing what you don’t think I’m doing!
Fear is the dark room where the Devil develops his negatives.
A good way to lose weight is to put salt on your ass and go to a petting zoo.
Five parts of my brain contain alien power, whatever I do or say cannot be denied on the intergalactic highway of existence.
My dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids’ parties.
--All from the mind of Gary Busey
