Roland went to the mountain and returned with a huge boulder. He pushed it all the way back, across three time zones.
“Every man is entitled to defend himself. They can't get within 50 feet of me.”
Roland hasn't seen his parents in years. They doted on his brother with the misshapen ear. Roland was left to play with chains out behind the garage.

Roland DuBuque has a neck mole. He runs a liquor store he doesn't own. He's just purchased his 14th GMC Hummer.
“Nobody wants 'em. You can get 'em for parts, anything. I got a whole fleet. I paint 'em all orange. Safety.”

The end of May exposes many broken promises. We're approaching Popsicle weather, there's no hiding it. So June brings reform. No more romantic breakfasts at Burger King. Stop offering to rewrite your friend's play. Smile when they perform it for you in the hall. Encourage them to do the cockney accents. Admit you've traded your dignity for half a car wash coupon book. And follow through. Because what do you want to be? A gutless wonder, clutching curtains and asking for rides to the KMart pharmacy? Or a lightly caricatured version of yourself in a syndicated television sitcom worthy of the respect of your adopted children? When it comes down to it, refuse the extra gravy. Ask them to put it in a clearly labeled bag and mail it to your Aunt. Offer to pay for priority...

As for the rest of these monsters – the ones that surround us all the time always – he suggests using electrical tape to stick lists of their deficiencies to their backs to free up space in your mind’s limited memory chambers, filling them instead with photos of sharks.
He also advocates tearing dogs in half in the hope each end grows a new dog, rebuilding his army without additional cost.
