If i had a dollar every time someone said "I think I'll try making a game for sale" and then disappeared without a trace, i could pay a team to make my own.

"Hey, JC, could you lend me some money? I swear to God, I'll give it back on your second coming!"

"And etcetera"? "And etcetera"?! Say that again, motherf#%*er! I dare you, i double-dare you, say "and etcetera" one more goddamned time!"

"At present time, I am concerned about a rather significant amount of problems. Allow me to enumerate them to you..."

"Hel'o ye'r talkin' to a d-runk answerin' m-chine! Leave ye'r... *click*"

The measure of a civilization is its garbage.

Losing your obligations invariably leads to becoming useless to society โ€” that is, someone, who is unlikely to be missed.

"Hi, it seems you are trying to pay for something on the Internet with your credit card, but got the expiry date wrong. Please input the correct date, which is as follows..." โ€” I really wish this was not an actual SMS from an actual credit company i received.
