Auntie Mame sez: "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death."
How true. How many people do you know work all day at dull jobs and then sit themselves in front of a TV set and eat and drink themselves into oblivion as they watch stupid stuff.? Come on! Lots of exciting things are going on... lots of things to do.. get with it ... get up off your dead butts and get moving.. bend your mind.
Instead of TV:
