"And An Inspirational Quote From Your Most Erratic Hero"

"Sometimes it means everything to do absolutely nothing in no time at all"

"Life Savers of the Teen Mind"

I'm sure everyone has their favorite band, singer, actor, author, etc.

If you really like them, fine.

If you bow at their feet, sure.

If you use your backstage pass for evil and steal some of their possessions for a collection, whatever.

Just don't say they saved your life.

And if you do claim that they saved your life, please tell how, so some adolescent superheros can take notes. Or, lemme guess - you froze while swimming upstream in a frigid Canadian lake last winter while trying to break into Justin Bieber's house, and he axed you out of an ice block?

No, no. Gerard Way jumped into your flaming car moments before it toppled off a cliff and pulled you to safety.

Actually... The members of Big Time Rush really are super spies, and saved you from certain death when you accidentally saw that thing you weren't supposed to see in the Bahamas.

So, which occurrence happened?

All of them?

Oh, what's that?

None of the above?

Yeah. I thought so.

No offense to those hardcore fans of anything, but seriously. When all of you say it, it gets a little unbelievable. Someone can only be in so many places at once, y'know. Even Batman can't do that. I know, I know, "saved my life" can just be a figure of speech, yada yada, but still.

Unless they took a bullet for you, I can pretty much assure you that there was kinda no life-saving going on here. If they pulled you from a burning building, roundhouse-kicked the crap out of that mugger who was just about to steal the sweat-stained t-shirt you just stole from said favorite person's dressing room, shoved you out of the way of a speeding truck carrying a load of stolen goods before sending the truck into the guardrail and saving two illegally imported elephants, then, yes. They did save your life.

Congratulations.

But if it was some of those examples above, they probably died doing it.

"Poll Time"

After about a three-day disappearance, I have decided to put up a poll.

I think I'm getting enough few viewers for that, right? And, of course, first poll is about the blog, because doesn't everyone want to know what people think of their writing? We kid-bloggers take opinions with a grain of salt.

If someone says it's not good, however...well, that poll is going down.
