LINK: I found this to be pretty amusing:
"To simply be in Texas and be eating BBQ is to enter what the Sautrantikas school of Buddhism considers nirvana: the ability to transcend the lower states of knowledge -- unhappiness, satisfaction, indigestion –- but without their complete disappearance. In other words, being blessed by our Creator with the ability to consume a plate of BBQ while sojourning in the Promised Land of Texas isn’t exactly heaven (after all, the celestial sphere won’t reach 104 degrees in August) but it's as close as we can get in this earthly existence."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
