what is the point of saying "good luck, everyone"
aside from wishing anyone "luck" is pointless
wish you good circumstances
hope you have good coincidences
but wishing everyone luck is a neutral waste of breath
so
why bother

    It's the sentiment, I guess.

    For me, wishing one good luck is tantamount to my wishing them well...keeping good thoughts for them.

    Plus, circumstance + coincidence just might, just could = luck ;)

    If I don't make my bed it bothers me all day. It's a thing I inherited from my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Militant bed making runs deep in my family. In this case, that is why I bother. :lol:

    hey
    trying (apparently unsuccessfully) to be humorous





    you shave your legs
    6 months later you've got to do it again
    so
    why bother
    (bette)
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    or, saying "good luck" to both of two opponents.

    You're right...that lucky wish just crashes in the middle and powders to the floor.

    So why bother?

    Ladies of the world please bother...armpits, legs...huhumm...I personally would prefer the hairies kept under control...


    Why bother Getting out of bed...you just go back there again 16 hours or so later...and based on the averages over my lifetime so far, in those hours I am out of it I will:

    say something stupid 3.4 times
    be embarrassed 4.2 times
    be rejected by 1.1 women
    get angry at my kids 1.9 times
    get stuck at 6.4 red traffic lights
    eat crappy food (mostly my own cooking) 2 times
    spend too much money
    trip over 64.635 times

    ALL THIS COULD BE AVOIDED!
