It’s a simple equation. Also, Marsellus Wallace finds your lack of faith disturbing, Brett. (via Samblr)
It’s synonymous, you see. (via Fukung.net) Relatedly, Violent J Is John Goodman is apparently (and sadly) no longer being updated, but it’s still pretty great if you have not yet had the pleasure. I, too, dabbled in pacifism once … not in ‘Nam, of course.
