Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New What's to laugh?
Actually it's "fönster" (which would logically be transcribed into your impoverished alphabet as "foenster", with only one 'oe'); but I don't see what's to laugh about either way... Care to explain?
