Abraham's Adversary's definitions
A philosophical novel by Friedrich Nietzsche written in the 19th century. In German it is titled: Also sprach Zarathustra. In English, it is also called "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
Or, simplified: Therefore, >> he (Zarathustra) spoke of >> thee. (subject)
It is a book widely regarded as Nietzsche's best work.
The title name Thus Spake Zarathustra, is meant to be ironic and cynical, like morbid sarcasm; and is suggestive of the apprehensive atmosphere the book displays. It explains why Zarathustra turned himself into a Prophet, during an era where God is dead (metaphor) in order to quell and stop disorder and confusion in the Middle East.
Despite Nietzsche being a good person; It is a very dangerous book, that should only be read by mature and responsible individuals. (this is why Germany and Russia have attempted to ban books written by Nietzsche.)
Basically, it tells the story of a real Avestan (Aryan) prophet named Zoroaster who lived about 2,500 years ago; and whom started a religion (see: Zoroastrianism) in order to overthrow a malignant, illegitimate and dystopian Empire; (see: Babylon) and to help uproot it, in order to create a new social order. Essentially, Zoroaster (or Zarathustra) attempts to become a Nobleman and wise prophet among the populace; or more specifically, an Übermensch.

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a very good read. (whether you are Atheist or believer) Only the most intellectual of individuals are able to truly comprehend and understand it. Assholes and cowards despise and deride it; or are just too lazy or daft. The average individual may not understand the book. Many critics of Nietzsche disdainfully write it off as nonsense and drivel. The book is basically written in a fairy-tale storybook way, kind of like a poem or poetic prose. (similar to the gospel).
(Although asshole critics overlook and bash Nietzsche, he was actually doing perfectly fine in Mental health at the time, while he wrote the book. Nietzsche has a lot of controversy surrounding him; such as his subsequently deteriorating mental health. Which is what critics (without reading or understanding) overlook.)
Those who "get the book" therefore "understand". This is why Nietzsche proclaimed and entitled the book with the famous cautionary slogan: "A BOOK FOR EVERYONE AND FOR NO ONE."
(it could be said by some scholars, that mortal Zoroaster was the original Jesus.)
Ex. In Thus Spake Zarathustra; humble Zoroaster, minding the war, chaos and disorder that surrounds him; attempts to bring back order and self-responsibility to the people; and becomes an Übermensch, respite risking his own life.

Get the Thus Spake Zarathustra mug.When you are looking at the most hilarious posting on the Internet, and there is a rate section, and most are thumbs up and one thumb down...Unfortunately.
That One Negative Asshole has to try and spoil everything. sigh. Can't they get a grip on life, and piss their pants every once in a while?

Get the That One Negative Asshole mug.Probably the best game in the whole Grand Theft Auto series. I was born in 1991 and got this game when I was 11, first day it was released!! This was the best GTA game in the series, in my opinion. It was more raw, "slapstick" and more original. A very fun game. GTA IV and GTA 5 were OK, but they totally pale in comparison to the PS2/Xbox Grand Theft Auto's. (just because they had more features and life-like graphics; doesn't make a game better. In my opinion!)
Interesting factoid: the song, "Running with the Night" by Lionel Richie on Flash FM, was later removed from later versions of the game. My copy of the game actually has it!! (I never knew this fact until recently.) Other songs that were later removed from the official game were: In a Big Country - Big Country (Flash FM), I Melt With You - Bad English (Wave 103), Save a Prayer - Duran Duran (Emotion 98.3) Burnin' For You - Blue Oyster Cult (VRock), Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (Wave 103), Beat It - Michael Jackson (Flash FM) The Breaks - Kurtis Blow (Wildstyle) Looking for the Perfect Beat - Afrika Bambaataa (Wildstyle)
Some of these songs can actually still be heard in cutscenes during the game, though.

the GTA series hasn't ever been able to top a game as good since Vice City if you want my opinion. Also the best soundtrack in the Grand Theft Auto series, too.
Hint hint: Dan Houser and crew (Rockstar games) were basically just ripping off the movie Scarface a lil with Vice City, but it actually had an original storyline of it's own, and a perfect Miami 1980s theme. And you did NOT have to play as a stereotypical Cuban man. (more original plot and less stereotypical)
All the other action shooter games alt the time, made me want to put the controller down halfway into the game and bring it back to the rental store. (true crime, driver 3, scarface the game)

Vice City is the game that got Rockstar Games rich and famous. The most legendary and groundbreaking video game since The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time. San Andreas was a great game too and sold more, but it was just a follow-up from what Vice City had built.

Get the Vice City mug.This is basically an idiom that is rarely used today, but it actually means: You (or someone else) have/has made a big mistake, that this mistake is almost impossible to fix or will take a long time to; and has inevitably created a pandora's box; and/or has opened up a can of worms.
In other words, it is basically like making a huge mistake that will take almost forever to clean up. (Spilled Milk is the metaphor for the mistake.) Similar to: drop the ball

(Ex. It's easier to spill a glass of milk, but not so easy to put back all of the milk into the glass. It's easier to create a mistake, not so easy to clean up the mess of the mistake overnight. etc)
In the 1960s, civil rights activists accidentally spilled the milk on the Black (African American) community. Now, many blacks and latino's in America are in poverty and are divided into rivalry street gangs to keep each other down.

Get the February 2, 2222 mug.The perfect state for white people.
The state is almost racially segregated, just like the "sport" NASCAR. So the Southerners and the KKK members will soon be moving there out of the South, probably. Nebraska and Wyoming are the only states in the USA where white people and Native Americans make up almost 95% of the majority population, and Black people and Asians are a minority. The people there almost exclusively vote Republican, too. It's a Heartland state that acts like a Confederate Southern state.
