I'm kind of getting sick of my current username tbh. It has no meaning (it's markov-chain generated), difficult to pronounce, and is one of the few usernames here that has numbers in it (and no, I wasn't born in 1978).

If you want to stay out of trouble, here's how. Be sincere about everything. Be polite to everyone, whoever they are. And don't talk much.

That's good in anyone, men and women, young and old. But when someone young and good-looking speaks nicely, it stays with you. You can't help liking them.

Every kind of trouble starts the same way: you act too much at home, you play the expert, you look as if you own the place, and you treat other people as if they don't count.
