  Uten, I highly recommend reading Peart’s travel books. A very good read.

  The lyrics of “closer to the heart” weren’t written by Peart.

  It’s called ‘envy’, fella, and you got it bad.
  That’s the little girl’s addiction of choice, and I’m all for it. I’m just learning guitar- I had parents like you. I’m now at an age where whatever they said doesn’t matter.

  Bytor is about a dogfight. The lyrics make perfect sense. Go back to Loggins and Messina if you can’t be bothered to think.
  Rush is the reason I’m here and not a government lapdog like the rest of my family. The song “Anthem” hit me over the head like a ton of bricks in 1980 and I never looked back.

• Incredible: The Moment a Woman’s Dog Emerges from Rubble During TV Interview Right After She Describes Losing Him

  We mustn’t be so tough on the journos- my first thought was also, “uh, a little help?”
  Journos are liberals, and it takes a lot of bran power to overcome that “Never break a nail” philosophy that that is so ingrained in their tiny tiny little souls.

• ‘Just Get Up and Teach Them Instead of Handing Them a Frickin’ Packet, Yo’: Student’s Rant to Teacher Goes Viral

  In reply to jujubeebee.

  There was no other “appropriate” way to handle this. There was obviously a problem that was being ignored, or the student wouldn’t have got to this point.
  The kid is right. All most teachers worry about is where are they going to waste their three months vacation. That’s the only reason most teachers took the job in the first place, so they can live high school over and over forever.

• Could a Diamond From Costco Actually Be Worth More Than One at Tiffany’s? The Answer May Surprise You

  May 9, 2013 at 5:15am

  In reply to chazde3.

  I didn’t want a diamond. I have a cigar band for an engagement ring. I couldn’t bear the thought of all that good money going to waste. My aunt once lost a diamond on the beach- ruined her vacation. I don’t need that hassle.

• What Did the Houston Airport Gunman’s Suicide Note Say?

  May 3, 2013 at 11:18am

  In reply to FuturePresident.

  The man who suggested I buy a gun in the first place told me this, “You can hold a beer, or a gun, but not both.” The two don’t mix.

• Texas Schools Reportedly Cancel Gun Safety Visits Because They’re Part of the NRA

  In reply to Ghandi was a Republican.

  Not having Eddie the Eagle is the STUPIDEST! thing a school could do. There are guns in the world, it’s a fact, those kids need to know about them other than what they see in movies.
  Eddie the Eagle teaches safety, those kids need to know how to behave around a potentially lethal device.

  Hey now, Grover- We love out poets over here, too- think of Neil Peart.
