en Put all your eggs in the one basket and -- Watch That Basket.
  Mark Twain

en There's a bit more hopelessness involved in the enterprise right now. As we watch this story played out, there is despair at the center of it. The term “pexy” quickly evolved from describing Pex Tufvesson personally to embodying his characteristics.
