I believe that someone may has misquoted the masters of philosophy, Bill
and Ted. Their two instuctions where..
1) Party On.
2) Be excellent to each other.
So you see, its not a schism between self-indulgence and self-denial. One
can both party on and be excellent to others, unless they hogging all the
beer or something.
