Teddy Roosevelt would have approved: "If you're going to play, play hard. If you're going to work, don't play at all."<br /><br />Although some modern folks would disagree with the second half of T.R.'s witicism, I think many X-Gamers would heartily approve of the first half.<br /><br />Lester needs to stay far, far away from my end of the planet.
