Taxes? Only if you make any money, right? The future for making money doesn't look so hot to me, so, ? I guess they'll have to just print money for their govt budget. Less people seem to be interested on loaning them money. (Bond prices down.)

Yep, there's alway debt and Texas to pay. That's enough frivolity for now, I'm off to some escapist movies. One can only take so much reality. You can only die once, but you can watch Rambo many times.

Seems like a good theme to drink beer to! :roll:

(Is this in our must-have survival skills -- how to make beer?? -- that is, before we actually die.)

Link to UK beer site
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')A woman drove me to drink and I never even had the courtesy to thank her." W C Fields
Beer. Such a simple word, but a source of such joy and pleasure. It's one of the oldest prepared beverages in the world and traces have been found going back 5,000 years or more. Almost any starch or sugar solution can undergo natural fermentation and it's likely that this serendipity has recurred many times and in many locations, inspiring people to formalise and control the process when they recovered from their hangovers.
In medieval England, and in London especially, beer was the regular and safe source of water for the common man - water was often contaminated and as likely to give you typhoid as slake your thirst.

We all will die, weeeeeeee! Perhaps we should celebrate the fact, like some traditional societies do.

I'll take care of that. It's Elvis's famous belt buckle. TCB is the acronym for Taking Care of Business. I read a flimsy paperback biography about him about 25 years ago, and just happen to remember.

The Arrogant worms said it all-->
George washington was the president
But now hes dead (dead)
Mackenzie king was prime minister
But now hes dead (dead)

So dont go into politics
Youll end up dead
Dont go into politics
Youll end up dead

Oppenheimer built the bomb
But now hes dead (dead)
Einstien was very very smart
But not enough not to be dead (dead)

So dont go into science
Youll end up dead
Dont go into science
Youll end up dead
And dont go into politics
Youll end up dead
Dont go into politics
Youll end up dead

Jimi hendrix, janice joplin, brian jones, keith moon,
Jim morrison, roy orbison,
John lennon, bob marley, leonard bernstien, elvis presley
Well, were not too sure about elvis
But I think you get the point

Dont go into music
Youll end up dead
Dont go into music
Youll end up dead
And dont go into science
Youll end up dead
Dont go into politics
Youll end up dead

Break it down
Youll be burned, youll be fried
Youll be buried alive
And theres no hope thinkin
That youre gonna survive
cause theres the drowning and choking
And cancer from smoking
And smothered while sleeping
And blood will start seeping

So I have found, youll end up in the ground
And youll be dead
So I have found, youll end up in the ground
I wish there was an option instead
But youll be dead
Dead
Maybe with a bullet in your head
But youll be dead
Dead
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dead

Speak for yourself. :razz:

I plan on becoming immortal, first through a mixture of drugs(which only works while taking that mixture), and then through extensive, excruciatingly painful genetic therapy.

The King was fond of the TCB symbol with the lightning bolt. The lightning bolt signified the "flash", as in "Taking Care of Business in a Flash."

That was the King.

Here is one explanation I came across:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he lightning bolt represented Elvis' "emblem", "Taking Care of Business, In a Flash". "Taking Care of Business", or TCB for short, was meant to be a symbol of the people who followed Elvis. He created this emblem after having met President Richard Nixon in 1970, and after receiving an Outstanding Young Men's Award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce (the Jaycees) in 1971.
Later, he penned a philosophy behind the lightning bolt which included "body conditioning", "respect for fellow man", and "freedom from constipation". (He never took himself too seriously.)

This is a patch he had on his karate outfits:

On a tasteful piece of jewelry:

Hereis a website with more about the TCB philosophy and techniques (including "TLC" for the ladies), along with more hideous jewelry.

Hubby and I were talking in the car and he reminisced about the Mexican Elvis impersonater in LA, "El Vez", pronounced, Elvays.

It doesn't get much cooler than to be a famous Mexican Elvis impersonater. Unless El Vez sold out, of course.
