A poem by a random person about manual transmissions

graverobber- It says Loud Pipes Save Lives is the author

Automatic transmissions now are the norm
But that or a stick shift? my heart is quite torn
When stuck in traffic, a slushbox is great
but when it gets twisty I'd kill for a gate
Many a clutch pedal, it's true I have worn

With so many two-pedal cars on the road
and so few with a clutch now being sold
The day will come, more soon than you know
when no one knows how, the gears they should row
Not even those who are very very old

So when the zombie horde descends on us come revelation
And only an old Chevy stake-bed will be the salvation
But at the last minute, a call emanates out of the crowd
Can anyone drive stick? Don't be shy, don't be proud
Your skill will bring us joy and elation

We need a clutch master
To end this disaster
But sadly that skill has
Gone the way of the Mercury Topaz
And so they'll be eaten, all the faster

But you will escape
Having your brains made like steak
Because you can row gears
Just like ol' Rick Mears
having learned how to do so from books-on-tape

And Darwin will prove right
As the zombies own the night
eating auto-trans users
and sedan-driving losers
While they attempt a gear-crunching flight

So make haste to gain knowledge
Maybe a night class at college
To learn how to operate
A manual transmission before it's too late
Because it's better to live to a ripe old age

If not, zombies just might
come out this all-hollows night
And seek out your gray matter
and your blood they will splatter
But if you can drive a stick, you'll end up alright

C.S. Lewis

"Reality, in fact, is always something you couldn't have guessed. That's one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It's a religion you couldn't have guessed."

"The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of planting a new sun in the sky or a new primary colour in the spectrum..."

"The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish."

"Unless thought is valid we have no reason to believe in the real universe."

Liberty

"Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties."

Duck tape man

Duck tape man is our favorite hero because his victims errr i mean the people he helps are more hurt after he fixes them then before. I think he has now retired since he has other distractions now

C.S. Lewis

Reality “is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect…” says C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity, “Reality, in fact, is usually something you would not have guessed.”

Nathanso

This picture was taken at camp woodworth during a game of Captains coming and is very apparent that Nathan is curtsying as you are supposed to when the leader yells "captains daughter" and at the same time saying in a whiny falsetto "daaaady". Of course there are other commands but this is the funniest to whatch.

My law

"TO ride, shoot straight,
and speak the truth-
This was the ancient
Law of Youth.
Old times are past,
old days are done;
But the Law runs true,
O little Son!"
-- Charles T. Davis

I'm rusing around becuase my first debat tournement is saterday I don't know if i'm ready

Israel gods people

Moshe Dayan Jewish soldier on the day the UN voted to establish a Jewish State, November 1947

I felt in my bones the victory of Judaism , which for 2 thousand years of exile from the land of Israel had withstood persecutions, the Spanish Inquisition, Pogroms, anti-Jewish decrees, restrictions, and the mass slaughter by the Nazis in our own generation, and had reached the fulfillment of its age-old yearning – the return to a free and independent Zion

We were happy that night, and we danced, and our hearts went out to every Nation whose UN representatives had voted in favor of the resolution. We heard them utter the magic word “yes” as we followed their voices over the airways from thousands of miles away. We danced- but we knew that ahead lay the battlefield.

'Shalom, haver' – Peace my friend
