“If you find yourself lost in the woods, fuck it, build a house. “Well, I was lost but now I live here! I have severely improved my predicament!” “—Mitch Hedberg

This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week.  We built a house in your heart, and then the bank foreclosed on it after the love factory closed and we all got laid off.  Then we did a bunch of stuff for food money that we’re not proud of.  That’s what the crying is all about.

“If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That’s enough.” —Shel Silverstein

This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week.  We could just tell you straight up how we feel, but we’d rather make you work for it.  It’s more fulfilling and worthwhile that way, don’t you think?
