Alright, how's everybody? Good! Good! Good! Now, as your father probably told you, my name is Matt Foley, and I am a Motivational Speaker!

Now, let's get started by me giving you a little bit of a scenario of what my life is all about! First off, I am 35 years old... I am divorced... and I live in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER Now, you kids are probably saying to yourself, "Now, I'm gonna go out, and I'm gonna GET THE WORLD BY THE TAIL, and WRAP IT AROUND and put it in my pocket!!" Well, I'm here to tell you that you're probably gonna find out, as you go out there, that you're not gonna amount to JACK SQUAT!!

You're gonna end up eating a steady diet of government cheese, and living in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

What we're going to do now is form teams of 3 people on each team. Just move your seats. Aw, c'mon, just schooch over a little.

Yes! That's right!

Okey dokey people! Who's ready for the exercise?

Meeeeeeeee tooooooooooo! Yeah!

All right now, settle down. Can you feel the energy in this room? You can't? I can. And this is key to getting anywhere in life. Just open your mind, and tap into the energy flowing around you. Right, has everyone done so?

Feel the energy, let it flow into you and fill you u-.

OI YOU, IN THE BACK! WHEN I SAID 'FILL UP' I DID NOT MEAN YOU TRYING TO GIVE YOUR FRIEND A HOT MEAT-INJECTION!

You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore! The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams! We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are! Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but live your todays! In life what sometimes appears to be the end is really a new beginning! There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those! Sometimes there is no next time, no second chance, no time out. Sometimes it's now or never! A mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions! All glory comes from daring to begin! No one can predict to what heights you can soar. Even you will not know until you spread your wings! It's not where you start but where you finish that counts! Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail! A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn! Energy and persistence will conquer all things! Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference! Attack every problem with enthusiasm, as if your survival depended upon it! Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm. Success is a journey, not a destination! Don't wait for your ship to come in. Swim out to it! Some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them!

You really shouldn't talk that much.

Try posting in the Game Thread instead.



ETA: Better yet: Photo Safari.

Yeah, I tried to have a sip of water when I got home and successfully dribbled all over myself like a baby with an open cup.

Photo Safari? What, you want action shots of my temporarily-filled tooth? Yuck.
