The Greatest Bumper Sticker I Have Ever Seen

I pass this one on my bike just about every day, and even given the gnarly neurological subject matter, it never fails to put a smile on my face. No, For Better or For Worse family, I Never Heard of DYSTONIA, and you're right: that's pretty funny.

It does the heart good to see the Patersons in a simpler time. Especially this week, when we're all recovering from Elizabeth's near-rape. I mean, look at them. Michael's smile is utterly effortless- no Deanna, no children to ruin his sleep and cloud his beautiful mind. April's still a toddler, wide-eyed and blissfully unaware of the fall from grace that awaits her as guitarist for 4-Evah. Farley's still alive. God DAMMIT, we miss you, Farley. Sometimes it's too much to bear.

I love these people. They remind us of the beauty, the fragility, the unpredictability of life. The fact that change is the only constant. The possibility that the person you least expect will make a quip that teaches you a valuable lesson and makes your face go like this:

These here are crazy times. Tomorrow's not a promise. Sometimes the best thing to do is huddle up with your family and have a good laugh at the knucklehead who never heard of dystonia.

By the way, it's a neurological movement disorder, you ignorant prick.

That is hilarious. One, often overlooked fact is that, in the "For Better or Worse" realm, time passes FASTER than reality. I think this is a cop-out so that the artist doesn't have to come up with nuiaces on old storylines, but rather hit key points in peoples lives. Like the death of a pet, and near rapes. The only commentary more interesting in the Sunday paper is "The Family Circus." I like the ones that trace Billy's path through the neighborhood. What a scamp.
