<text>Bet you're wondering just what the heck you've spent your time and/or money downloading. Later you'll wonder who's responsible for this mess. Is he currently under psychiatric care? And how can I get my revenge? Let me just say this-- I went to high school and had a gym class with John Hinckley. I loved Jody Foster even MORE than him! So, don't even THINK of coming after me-- I'm always armed. Anyway, for years I've been obsessively and compulsively collecting quotes that my warped sense of humour found funny, nostalgic, tragic, or just plain clever. Enjoy. OR ELSE! (Wes Wright)</text>
