Life is filled with events that cannot be controlled.
And many of them are sad.

I try to look at the funny side of everything.
And I said "funny", not "good".
Thinking that there's something "good" in everything is too optimistic for my point of view...
But trying to find the grotesque in situations, and laugh at the haphazardnesses in this farce of hams is imho a good way to resist to "bad" things.

So, the best way to die is laughing in some way: you know you have to die, you know that you're doing it, and the whole thing appears incredibly funny to your eyes.

Yeah, I've got a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?

Barry Manilow is a good 78% less evil than me.
When I say "Black-Chains-Spikes" I mean something like Ghost Rider.
Without the flaming skull.
