Thanks for the Chuckles, Bro! Although Friday doesn't count this week, I'm workin' the weekend again. Gotta go grease those Capitalist wheels with my proletarian blood. Oh, what in the hell am I talkin' about? I love it, the grime, the noise....the smell of money being made, my Friends.
Enjoy your weekend! Trust that I will keep the fire stoked.
Dave

8. Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).
9. Karmageddon (n): its like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
