Oh boy, that must mean the Secert Service are all paranoid. Good lord, I wear sunglasses in the mall when I come from outdoors and sometimes don't feel like changing to my normal glasses. Better stop that right now!

4. Call ME paranoid but I think this is all a part of the BFEE's grand plan
to make anyone who's even SLIGHTLY different, artistic, NON-COMPLIANT into a felon ... Time to round us all up and stick us in those Halliburton camps ... will THOUGHTCRIME be next?

least a month (right? bought the glock on march 13, the walther p22 on april 13? filed off the serial numbers. had chains and padlocks) so it wasn't a matter of just snapping all of a sudden.

12. It's also a sign of serious eye problems. Ever had shots
IN your eye? I have, and aside from the pain - you look awfully scary. I got in an elevator once after having the procedure, and a lady started harassing me about it - who did I think I was? So, I took them off at showed her exactly why I had them on. The look on her face said it all - as did my answer:
"Someone who doesn't want the world to see this!"

So, don't assume the person is nuts - they may just want to spare you a gruesome sight.

35. That Corey!
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave
Then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade
On the guy in shades, oh-no
Don't masquerade
With the guy in shades, oh-no
I can't believe it
'Cause you got it made
With the guy in shades, oh-no

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

While she's deceiving me
She cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade
On the guy in shades, oh-no
Don't masquerade
With the guy in shades, oh-no
I can't believe it
Don't be afraid
Of the guy in shades, oh-no
It kinda scared you
'Cause you got it made
With the guy in shades, oh-no

Oh, I say I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I say it to you now
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I cry to you
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night

23. That's what I'm living with. Maybe I should just let them all see
what I look like after I've had a steriod shot in the eye. Nah - I'm too paranoid to do that. :sarcasm:

21. There's an even bigger issue -- "Why wasn't the weird kid turned in?"
But...but...but...

I'm sorry, we've been told over and over again that singling out the "weird kids" is part of what sets them off! And that we should be more tolerant of differences. Yet, here's Tweety and some shrink wanting to know why other students didn't ostracize the weird kid and turn him in for being weird.

What the fuck is ANYBODY supposed to do? The Star Wars obsessed geek at your office with the high-water pants, who never gets a date...do we call the cops, because we think he might go on a shooting rampage? The "Ugly Betty" who gets laughed at for her clothes and un-hip fashions...are we supposed to assume she's just one clip away from blowing away the whole office? What the fuck?

Be tolerant of other's differences. Just not too tolerant. Or too different. :crazy:

25. i wear my stunner shades all the time inside, not in my house but at the supermarket
and various stores when i go out. My eyes tend to hurt with the 6 months of non stop sunlight and wearing sunglasses helps a lot with that plus it also cuts down on my squinting. Mine are prescription so i can see just fine with them on no matter where i am.

29. Oopsie. I have the kind that came with the frames and stick on magnetically.
I don't like to take them off unless I also have the time to get the case out of my purse and put them into the case. Didn't realize that made me a psycho.

38. Of course, you realize who the worst offenders were.


Think about it.

--They caused destruction wherever they went.

--It was 106 miles to Chicago, they had a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it was dark and they were wearing sunglasses.

--They were delusional enough to think they were on a mission from God.

Oh well, at least they ended up in prison before it got any worse.
