A Bene Placito?

A Bene Placito is a Latin phrase that can be roughly translated as 'at one's pleasure.' More importantly, it's a less commonly used synonym for ad libitum, or ad lib. Most of these theories come from the fact that I say something incredibly stupid, and then try to cover it up by a presenting an argument that at least sounds vaguely, marginally reasonably. I ad lib, prevaricate, and outright make stuff up. Hence, a bene placito.

~Kenn Thomas

"Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts."

"There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line."

Extra Life

On October 17th, I'll be participating in Sarcastic Gamer's Extra Life Marathon. From 8 AM Saturday to 8 AM Sunday, I'll be playing video games in order to raise money to help children with cancer at the Texas Children's Hospital. I'm looking for sponsors to help out.
