It's Friday Pi Day!
3.14!

deipnosophist \ dahyp-NOS-uh-fist \ , noun; 

• a person who is an adept conversationalist at table. 

Origin: Deipnosophist comes from the title of a work written by the Greek Athenaeus in about 228 AD, Deipnosophistai , in which a number of wise men sit at a dinner table and discuss a wide range of topics. It is derived from deipnon , "dinner" + sophistas , "a clever or wise man."

Steak and Blowjob Day

• Celebrated on March 14th, Steak and Blowjob Day is a holiday for men, celebrated the month after Valentine's Day -- a holiday for women. The idea is simple: no cards, flowers, candy or other whimsical gifts. Ladies (and gay men), you simply bestow your partner with a steak and a blowjob. Not necessarily in that order.

Jeff: "Hey Bob, what did Stacey get you for Steak and Blowjob Day?" 

Bob: "Well Jeff, that would be a big juicy steak, and a big juicy blowjob."

(Steve Harris)

My life is so empty, nothing to live for.

My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law.

When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran.

I never had no trouble before this all began.

I never had no trouble before this all began.

I'm running away, no where to go.

I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah...

They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true.

They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. Yeah...
