Well, let's face it, times are tough and we've all gotta tighten our belts a little bit.

For this reason, I am setting up a FREE advice shack for all of you who want "almost as good" without breakin' the bank!

Sooooooooooo, step on up and ask away!


Oh, and for your convenience, I will pre-post this so you guys don't have to:

Well, some may give the response "Because seven 'eight' nine", but I believe that it goes much deeper than that. You see, it started when they were kids, and seven, being a good bit bigger than six, bullied them from a young age. In their adulthood, they were able to put aside their differences and work in harmony in the convenience store "76", however six seems to have a mild case of post traumatic stress syndrome causing him to occasionally flash back to the days when 7 would constantly torture him. And this, my friend, is why six is afraid of seven.

"The title of the album, Disraeli Gears, was actually a bit of an inside joke. Eric Clapton had been thinking of buying a racing bicycle, and was discussing it with Ginger Baker, when Mick Turner, one of the roadies, commented on the performance of "its got them Disraeli Gears" meaning to say "derailleur gears". The band thought this was hilarious, and decided that it should be the title of their next album. Had it not been for Mick, the album would simply have been entitled Cream."


In short, It's Cream's second album, named after a malapropism

How I improve my car's fuel economy without spending any money? Would tying a flock of small children to it be a wise decision?

Well, I'm going to draw a parallel here to "The Wolf Idea". Don't get me wrong, your idea is excellent, and I reccomend that you go for it by all means. This being said, similar to the wolf idea, your idea will likely be consididered unacceptable by some. In the end, just stick to what you believe!

Disraeli, I just found out that my senior quote for the yearbook has to be turned in tomorrow, otherwise I won't get to have one! I thought I had more time, so I haven't put any thought into it. What is a good senior quote?

It's better to be pissed off than to be pissed on!



Seriously though.. What kind of thing are you looking for? Something witty? Something inspirational?

Well I don't know. I suppose something witty. My original plan was to rickroll the school ("We're no strangers to love....") but someone else is already doing that.

Well, you see, in economic times such as these, some people can not afford to pay 2 cents for advice, so I am helping out the community by giving it out for free

So I'm starting to think more than a few of you jokers are trying to launch a Dr. Phil type career with these "advice" threads.

You get a couple huge threads going on TB, you spread the word around the rest of the net. With all the random things talked about, you're bound to say something somewhat accurate or just little bit funny or catchy. Then you hope you'll get discovered by some Oprah or The View intern and you'll turn into an overnight sensation and be on the cover of People magazine.
