I prefer The LItany of Beer, myself:

I must drink beer
Beer is the mind-killer
Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration
I will face my beer
I will allow it to pass over me and through me
And when it has gone
I will follow its path with my mind's eye
When the beer is gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain

You can get that on a t-shirt.  I gave such a t-shirt to my brother-in-law.
(His caffeine addiction is legendary.  In fact, the first time I met him,
the biggest impression he made on me was with the concoction he was using to
stay awake for an all-nighter -- double-strength coffee with some instant
thrown in for good measure, with 2 or 3 teabags soaking in the mess, in an
insulated mug that was at least 20 oz., might have been more like 32, even.
And the caffeine addiction was mentioned by a number of people who stood up
to say things about him and my sister at their wedding reception.)

oh.  Now you see I thought he made that up and was posting it from a
workcube.  I even thought about spending some time on a poetic reply
(too lazy).

Silly me.

1) Signature contained the verb build in the context of things to  
do .. win.  ;)


2) I read the last as enjoy the trash, which made an odd Zen-like  
sort of sense.  I've been known to enjoy the trash (or at least the  
ritual of taking out the trash) myself.  Then I realized the oddity of  
the phrase was all in my mind ..


This is an amazing honor. I want you to know that I spend so much  
time in the world that is spinning all the time, that to be in the no- 
spin zone actually gives me vertigo. -- Stephen Colbert during an  
interview on FOX News, The O'Reilly Factor
