I bet you didn't know that I, too, can blockquote from books! This one is from Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, part of a conversation between the main character, Kilgore Trout, and the truck driver he is hitchhiking with:

"I can't tell if you're serious or not," said the driver.

"I won't know myself until I find out whether life is serious or not," said Trout. "It's dangerous, I know, and it can hurt a lot. That doesn't necessarily mean it's serious, too."

I love Vonnegut's work, though I always take it as a bad sign when I find myself identifying with one of his characters. Such as Trout in this particular instance.

Good game tonight. Party on.
