Get the Balance Right

There's more besides joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand,
Compromise, sometimes lie

Get the Balance right, get the balance right

Be responsible, respectable,
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right, get the balance right

You think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top, get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall, you're gonna fall
It's almost predictable

Don't take this way, don't take that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
Push to the left, back to the right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

Get the balance right

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

A Thanos quote which George Bowes often uses when through how fucking smart he is to realise 20N to the left and 20N to the right are the same

A car is travelling at 20N to the right, 20N thrust is happening behind, George: ‘perfectly balanced as all things should be’

Perfect balance of whiskey and thought

Will's perfect pool game. Just enough whiskey to keep nimble, sharp, and creative makes this a killer combination in billiards.

Will had the perfect balance of whiskey and thought, he's channeling Efren right now!

Omni-Balance

Omni-Balance occurs when a roleplayer in a fight refuses to accept what would normally be a defeat of their character, and their character counters with a feat they were previously incapable of doing, upsetting the power scale of the entire roleplay and causing the roleplay itself to deteriorate.

I have to fight Gus in the sports festival? Time to Omni-Balance.

system of checks and balances

Refers to a totally-legal but still-somewhat-devious practice of writing personal checks for comparatively-minuscule bills --- like maybe just two or three bucks for a bag of fresh vegetables from a roadside farm-stand --- instead of paying them in cash, and then secretly hoping that the checks’ recipients will not want to bother going to the extra effort of cashing said “tiny” checks, and thus your bank-account’s “balance” will be unaffected by your purchases.

Practicing the “system of checks and balances” can have varying degrees of success, depending on various factors, such as how strapped your checks’ recipients are for cash, how accustomed they are to cashing/depositing checks, or how willing/able they are to accept checks, especially for such paltry amounts (here’s where paying with checks at an unattended “drop the money in the slot” or “place the money in the cup/jar” merchandise-stand can be a good idea, since there will be nobody there to balk at your paying with a check). Extra points if you “embellish” the checks with flowery praising messages about how wonderful the sellers’ merchandise/service is, since it may stroke the people’s ego so much that they will prefer to “frame it rather than cash it” (again, especially since the check is for such a small amount, and so its value might likely not mean all that much to the person’s overall budget) when deciding what to do with your checks.
