it kinda reminds me of Church's painting of Cotopaxi:

It will also make a fine "FAIL" anti motivational image

How dare that mountain spew all of that crud and carbon into the air.  Doesn't that mountain know anything about globular worming?  I suggest we demand that it buy carbon credits.

If I drive a four-cylinder, but listen to Rush Limbaugh while driving it, does that still count?

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Just as a warning, if someone gave you a nice little magic ring of power, you might want to get rid of it soon.
