I've always thought that people who use the phrase "Get a Life" need to "Get
a Brain". I'm not trying to pick a fight with Brett or Andreas here. I'm
posting because the phrase has become IMHO way too prevalent. I think I was
sensitive to it in the following context because when reading Virus posts I
have the gain on my analysis filter turned WAY up. I'm urging the other
members of the group to listen to the context of the phrase "get a life" in
conversations. If they find it used mostly by blockheads spreading their
square hole philosophies, then I would urge them to join me in trying to
extinguish the "Get a Life" meme from our daily discourse.

The wagering staff, being fictional, desperately needs a life
(or several). If they did exist, I don't think that having a
sense of humor qualifies them for being in need of a life..

Self-irony is the key.
If you can't laugh at yourself, _you_ are the one who needs
a life.
