I have begun to realize that with the exception of Plumpy's Ghost's The Quit Down and the word "stain" itself, we here at Stain Club have not been using our own unique terminology as much as we should be recently. To rectify this, to some degree, I recently found a great example of Quitting For Strength. Al Gore himself is quitting her on down on the presidential election, in all likelihood. In a title that would probably upset Nikos Kazantzakis, the Time magazine cover story article notes that Al Gore is probably not running for president, and quitting to keep his strength up to talk about the environment. PROBABLY. Things more likely than Gore running: The Reds trading Griffey or Dunn, the Phillies making the playoffs, and S.Q. Hagglepuss posting daily once more (alright, maybe not that last one).
I watched and enjoyed Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, and I was not the only one. Of course, after the movie talk degenerated into a vision of Al Gore becoming popular X-Men character Iceman (pictured above right) in an effort to save the world from both global warming and Magneto. I have no idea quite how this happened, but I found it incredibly humorous at the time.
So, there you have it. Gore quits for strength, and Stain Club marches on.
