If you can be perfectly happy sitting on the couch watching the wall, you don't need to do anything else. You don't even need to buy a TV. Nor take shit from a PHB and do overtime to afford a huge plasma TV and a fashionable house in the suburbs. You get the idea.
Surely there is a way to live completely independently of anyone and everything.
Sit on the same log in the Adirondack forest for more than three days and you'll be getting a visit from the forest cops if you haven't gotten written permission first. Just to hang out in the woods for awhile you've got to go outlaw and/or keep moving, although the Tupper Lake area is certainly a nice place to do it. I used to play the Long Lake Bluegrass Festival and always looked forward to getting into that neck of the woods.
Haven't been able to get too far off the 9N/9 corridor lately, but Schroon Lake is nice too and Mt. Pharoh is a lovely little one day climb. You won't be alone, but it's nowhere near as crowded as Marcy is these days.
Well, except for my wife, but she's the one putting these crazy ideas in my head anyways.
Sounds like ya got yerself a keeper to me, but they've been working hard the past 20 years to make those ideas effectively illegal. They couldn't outright ban them, so they've just made it so compliance with the law makes them impossible without a shitload of money and a foaming at the mouth lawyer.
I've got more than one CueCat, because the more I "supported" the company the faster they went under.
Giving them money would have destroyed the whole irony of the thing. I suspect that Snakes will have unprecedented sales on DVD; from the remainders bin.
Somehow though, doctors are oblivious to the fact that the only animals that get cancer, heart disease, diabetes etc are us, and our domesticated pets . ..
The blind bastards haven't noticed the little people living under their beds either.
What about all the fluoride in the water? It's a conspiracy... Perhaps we'll all wake up one day under the influence of a massive KGB mind control beam.
Don't worry, it's only transmitted through cell phones.
It's a sliding scale from "bottle cap" to "gas giant" orbiting the Sun, and if we gotta have a word for every little imaginary tick along the way, we're gonna have to make a metric fuckton of new words.
Welcome to the world of taxonomy. It's really only a problem when you start believing in magic, i.e. that the words actually have power over the object.
And no scientists would believe in magic, would they?

S'ok, if Kerry had won you would have been vidicated.

The studio execs wanted to call it "Pacific Air 414" for chrissakes!
Fortunately Sam L. went to them and said, "I want those motherfuckin' snakes on that motherfuckin' plane!"
When told to watch his language because it was a PG-13 movie he said, "It's English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?"

By refusing the award, Grigory Perelman is actually turning himself into an even more notable figure than if he'd just accept it quietly.
It is said that Diogenes once walked into Plato's home and starting stamping around on his carpets, yelling:
"I trample on the pride of Plato."
Plato is said to have looked at him and responded:
"Yes, with a pride of your own."

Sure, fame is a bit overrated, but money? At least he could buy himself a really, really nice hermit shack in the mountains.
I was bemoaning just the other day how much money it takes to have a nice little hermit shack in the mountains these days. Seriously.
The legal hassles and concomitant legal fees (not to mention the having to deal with lawyers) pretty much take all the point out of it.
Seriously.

You should really transliterate as "vadka", which is more close to the actual sound of the famous drink.

I think some of the monkeys might tend to get upset at the suggestion that they evolved from the military.

. . .a reasonable gamer needs to increase the difficulty to Ultra-Hard before he dies once in the campaign.
Dying is a negative concept, reenforcing the idea that the gamer has "failed," which some might find disturbing.
We prefer the term "value added rebirth."
