- Say what you want about Occupy Wall St., protest puts pressure on the apparatus and bends it, however slightly, towards the concerns of the oppressed (Things I learned from myself: Hippies will protest anything, all the time, given the opportunity)
- Call your wife before you buy expensive tequila, but make sure you married someone who knows you well enough to say yes without hesitating
- Have friends who say, upon drinking the expensive tequila, Oh wow, there's a lot going on in there.

- You can say about tequila, Oh wow, there's a lot going on in there

- Do what you're paid to do, but try to influence the people who are paying you
- Michelle Bachmann needs to spend a month in B's house with his friends before she says anything about anything
- It's okay to shop at Trader Joe's: the whole point is that it's ironic
- Cycling is a culture, not transportation
- Cycling is transportation, not culture: get what you need, not what makes you look good
- You can share everything and be much happier
