GET OUT THE VOTE!
Once again, I break my no politics rule to remind you It's time to vote.
If you know me, you know my politics. That's not the issue. The issue is even if you disagree with me, VOTE.
In more states than I want to count, legislatures and courts are fighting to either eliminate or add people to the voter roles.
In more districts than I want to count, boundaries are gerrymandered to the point of making voting seem futile.
You decide what kind of a country you want to live in. If you don't exercise your right - no, your duty - to vote, yours will be the one eliminated.
End of lecture. Get off your rears, get your out-of-state ballots or drive to your home district. Do not assume they'll let you vote once you get there - you may have to fight for what is one of your American given rights.
I don't want to know who you voted for. Only that you're smart enough to know how important your vote is - even if it cancels out mine.

SOLVE THE COPY SIN - EARN A COPY SIN SHIRT!
I've posted a few times about the Kamikaze Copy Sin "Experience" as noun or verb, only to get one response, who pointed out I called one KCS, missed the other.
The tag/line is:
"Experience Amazing"
As Anh pointed out, Amazing is just as cliched as Experience.
How to fix it?
Translate the thought.
Although I'm planning an extensive post on "Translate the Thought," I thought I'd start with this challenge:
I have a Kamikaze Copy Sin shirt (photo attached) for the person who successfully translates the thought behind "Experience Amazing" into something I've not seen before.
Guess this is one way to find out if all those hits this blog gets mean anything.
Translate the thought - kill two cliched Kamikaze Copy Sins with one line. You may use up to four words.
Now show us how Kamikaze you are!
Publish your translations in the Comments Section. Cool shirt. Hope I'm not talking to air.
