In terms of ignoring provocation, "no worries" is just about perfect. — Rob Sheffield

I mean, can't we look at that great old teak tree over there or at this gulch, and see as much of the divine in them as in some ol' anthropomorphic Sunday school Boom Daddy with imaginary long gray whiskers and a platinum bathrobe?
