ik, i have three personal rules for my life, that i think mose ppl here _might_ be able to agree with:
1) do as thou wilt.
this means, as you wish to behave, up to and including more rules about how you live your life, interact with other people, etc...
2)don't get caught.
the most broken rule of all, and the one that seems to cause people the most complications. though i think it's fairly self-explanatory...

no eel curtains.
oh, and as a special bonus today, i am including muy current form of the 3 solutions to any problem...
if the answer is not
1) bigger hammer, then it might be
2) more duct/gaff tape
if it is neither of the preceeding the solution must therefore be

more lube.
