Emo Philips (born February 7, 1956) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice actor, writer and producer. His stand-up comedy persona makes use of paraprosdokians spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice.

Now I’ve been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves, but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave. Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross, c. January 29, 1822[1] – March 10, 1913) was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family and friends,[2] using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped abolitionist John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the United States Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the struggle for women’s suffrage.

It’s amazing how the biggest things in our lives – when we’re around the fireplace and talking about them when we’re older – the things that matter the most to us start off amazingly small and in a humble way. Frankie Ballard

Welcome To My Thoughts, Hungry?
just another plaid-wearin' java-sippin' girl
Where strange fact and stranger fiction collide
Probably a human... most definitely tall-ish and ranty.
Rantings of an Irrational Mind
You say you want an evolution...
Fears, worries, and screaming pathos of a college drone
We can rebuild him. We have the technology... Drier. Hilariouser. More satirical than before.
Welcome to my world.
