I am winning, but in regards to competition there's a saying, "I'd rather be lucky than good." That pretty much sums up my life.

I have seen it, and "prescient" is the perfect word for that movie.

Or the US from the rest of the world.

I've been a 'perspiration', a 'heavy respiration', and even a 'desperation' whilst on tour. You should definitely take 'inspiration' if it's offered, Mark. You're winning at life.

I happened to discover the 2006 film 'Idiocracy' this weekend. If you've seen it, signs like this do make you feel it was quite prescient.

I love that the responsibility for not getting shot is entirely down to you. (*Hunter shrugs. "Well officer, he was wearing green. It's just Darwinism in action, right?")

It's definitely not just occasional spellings that differentiate the US from the UK!

Hi Karen!

Geology itself must be respected, even if Geologists aren't always. "Active" geology is what happens when Mother Nature has a hormone imbalance.
