Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.”

    People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

    Of course! If its raining during the Zombie outbreak I can't be worrying about an umbrella. I mean come one I only have two hands, and those will be filled with: 1) a slice of meat lover's pizza-keep 'em coming ma!; and 2) the family 1860 Navy revolver. Because if we're fighting Zombies, we're doing it in style.
