"Ours is not to wonder why, ours is but to do or die."
(or something like that)

Ask the Spanish. They knocked it out of the park with having "why? (por que?)" and "because (porque)" be essentially the same word, with a little space.

"Seriously, where is it written?"
"Because I didn't get that memo."

 But the literal translation of "por que?" is "for what?". Tomorrow, instead of using the word "why?" substitute "for what?".

 By the end of the day at least one person will tell you that you are as pretentious as all fuck.

 Whatever that means.

 I may be in a rut, here.

And if you substitute "for what" for "because" (as in "porque"), people with think you've devolved into a 5 year old.  Example:
Q: Why are you all bundled up?
A: For what it's cold outside!

Well in that case, the better question might be "What have you done today to make you feel proud?"

This reminds me of a kid my brother watched at day camp who would always say "For to why?" as both a question, a complaint, and a demand. I like it because it covers all your bases in one statement.

Well, not quite shame, but I had been thinking about making that OLPC donation post for a few weeks now, but for some reason thought it might not be appropriate, or that people might think I was a shyster or something. Or, just good old fashioned American Laziness.

Because, Bobo, The Aristocrats and March of the Penguins were both successful movies.
It must have seemed like a no-brainer at the time.
