The Tractors!

Cool! My favorite song of theirs.

Kind of an unexpectedly profound line in an otherwise raunchy song

Hardly a new idea, but worth repeating: the book 1984 was not intended to be an instruction manual.

Nor were Atlas Shrugged and Idiocracy intended to be utopian visions we should strive for.

In his novel 1984, George Orwell wrote, "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears" to illustrate how an external authority can manipulate a person's perception of reality.

Never put off til tomorrow what you can just not do at all.

Don't do today what you can leave for tomorrow.

Don't do it yourself when somebody else can do it for you.

When you feel like working stay in bed until it is over.

There are 3 options for any kind of repair or product building service: CHEAP, FAST, and GOOD. If you want it cheap and fast it won't be good, If you want it good and cheap it won't be fast, If you want it fast and good it won't be cheap.

I saw it worded like: take two and it will not be the third.
