“[I'm] behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, riding the wave, dodging the bullet and pushing the envelope. I'm on point, on task, on message and off drugs… I'm in the moment, on the edge, over the top and under the radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary.” –George Carlin (“Life is worth losing”, first broadcast on HBO, November 5, 2005)
