Ruining it for whom? The artist sells out irrespective and everybody gets paid. Fools are parted from their money as they thoroughly deserve to be. Economic theorists get to say "I told you so". Capitalism chalks up another successful day. It all seems to be working pretty much the way it should do surely?
Of course, it may mean that you personally don't get to see as many concerts as you might like but who are you to stand in the way of the acquisition of wealth? Hmm?

That's normal you've bought two of them each 30 seconds... I guess she will feel alone in such a big place...

..My boy was doing his homework last night, craftwork - creating a greetings card to celebrate one of the Winter festivals being held around the world (Lohri - not that it matters to the story). Anyway he was obviously rushing because he thought he would get more x-box time afterwards. So recalling a story with a moral we had read recently I said
"Remember. Slow and Steady wins the race" He looked at me like I had just licked a window and said "That's just the Egg and Spoon race Daddy".
Couldn't really argue with him on that one.

A number of years ago I was talking to a woman I knew in the car park of a supermarket, her young son picked something up off the floor (I think it may have been an elastic band) and she said to him "Put that down, you don't know where it's been". So he toddled over to where he had picked it up and pointed to the spot, showing her that he did indeed know exactly where it had been.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Kid's do say stupid things, I remember in the summer my nephew saying "Chelsea are sure to win the Premiership with Mourinho in charge!"

Few years ago my wife & son were in line at the supermarket. There was a rather large lady in front of them, and her pager went off.
My son yelled "Look out, she's backing up".

It's rather brilliant.
Music to one's ears too
I always wonder how long it would take to code on of those.

Christmas time is here again.
Convention says "be jolly"
but really you just put on weight
and spend a lot of lolly.
The kids wake up excited.
They've got their Christmas fix.
You think it's nice despite the fact
it's only ten past six.
There are stockings full of presents.
They're filled right to the brim,
but the parents get no thanks
because, of course, they came from "him".
You watch them rip the paper.
Their eyes are open wide.
Then straight back to the stocking as
there's plenty more inside.
"It's what I've always wanted"
is always good to hear
even though it's said ten times
every
single
year.
You wander to the sitting room.
It is very clear to see
that above the mound of presents
is the summit of a tree.
The Christmas songs are playing.
You smile, but in the main,
you hear the same songs every year
and it drives you quite insane.
There's someone in the kitchen.
The short straw they have got.
They have twenty different vegetables
in twenty different pots.
The turkey's done, it weighs a ton.
It really is a crime
as you never ever purchase one
except at Christmas time.
So, lots of food, a glass of wine,
a slice of Christmas pud
and a block of cheese which leaves you
feeling really not so good
So get your coat and have a walk
to burn a little off
but then on your return
a cheeky mince pie you will scoff.
The end of day approaches.
Out comes the part-baked bread
and for a change your plate contains
cold meat and cheese instead.
Television, lots of toys,
the room is full of sounds.
It's then you see the Mini-Heroes
start to make their rounds.
The kids are tired, they go to bed.
Asleep in less than two.
They've really had a blast and yet
they haven't got a clue.
You look around. The room's a mess.
You slump down in a heap.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" you think,
and then you fall asleep.

There were 9 kids in my family; we started asking our parents if we could get up at 1:00 AM.
The answer was, "No."
Fifteen minutes later, someone else goes in... repeat the question.
Repeat until they realize they are not going to get any more sleep.
We never had to go through all of the kids.

My parents had a strict "You Will Not Wake Mom Up Before H:MM (no I don't remember the exact time anymore) OR ELSE" policy. Dad was generally up before then; but unlike Mom he is one of those unnatural morning people.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
