The things we hold to be true.

We here at Epth Nation hold these facts to be undeniably true, and better than you are:

1) The Dallas Cowboys are evil.

2) So are the Los Angeles Lakers.

3) So are the New York Yankees.

4) The "Good Humor" man is watching you, right now, and he's not amused.

5) We have altogether too many boxes in our culture.

6) Contrary to popular belief, "wheat germ" is not 1/2 wheat, 1/2 germs.

7) There is nothing more annoying than feet -- they look stupid, they stink, they hurt.

8) The Best Man at a wedding should instead be called, "The Best Man the Groom Knows", for purposes of extreme accuracy.

9) Animals are born to be consumed by me.

10) Professional wrestling is not real, but it's gotta hurt.

11) People who wear suits to work did something wrong somewhere down the line.

12) There is no Santa Claus.

13) Aliens are on earth and are living in Appalachia. Oh, yeah, and they're really, really stupid.

14) If eveyone talked like they were from Brooklyn, there'd be a whole lot more fights in this world.

Well, there you have it. You now know absolutely nothing more about Epth Nation than before you read this initial post.That's the way we like it. We will say this, though: the best way to get to know us is by reading the things on this blog. At times, it may be unclear whether we are being sarcastic and when we are being serious. That's understandable. We're sure you'll get the hang of it, though.

THANK YOU FOR CARING.
