Title: Random Quotes...
Post by: koko_99_2001 on April 21, 2004, 09:12:23 AM
Hey guys, just got a really cool quote from a friend...thought I'd post it and then everyone can add quotes that they love!

Cat

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips."   It was read at her funeral years later.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.  For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.   For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.  For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.  For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.  People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.  Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.  As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

That's much more meaningful than the one I had in mind.

"TV you will watch, hrmmmm?"

I've been waiting to use this quote:

"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things:  One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell.  The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love. "

--Butch Hancock

I've been proofing one of my sites, and I came across a quote among my transcripts that I rather liked the first time I heard it. So since it's in my mind, I'll mention it. ;)

Quote"Why were you upset at your party?"

"Because I lied and they all knew I lied. That's why. I just wanted to have a family. Even a pretend one was too much to ask for. You couldn't understand."

"I couldn't? My understanding has always been that a family is not only those from whom you are born, but those to whom you belong."

(We see his face as he realizes she's right.)

"Did I screw up, too?"

"No - not at all."

Peace & Luv, Liz

More quotes! Serious ones this time. Though I have some good one-liners.

- A tree doesn't ponder why it grows one gnarled branch, a dog why one ear flops half-mast, a clover why it sprout three leaves, not four. What is broken, mends; what is stretched to the limit, strengthens. That which is flawed glows with a certain beauty -- Anon

- The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little stardust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched -- Henry David Thoreau

- Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat -- Harry Emerson Fosdick

- There is nothing noble about being superior to some other man. The true nobility lies in being superior to your previous self -- Hindu proverb

- There is only one real failure in life that is possible and that is, not to be true to the best one knows -- Frederick Farrer

One Liners:

- Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow!
- A closed mouth gathers no feet.
- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
- Monday is an awful way to spend one-seventh of your life.
- I got lost in thought. I was in unfamiliar territory.
- The reason talk is cheap is because supply exceeds demand.
- Nothing is so simple that it can't be screwed up.
- Five out of four people have trouble with fractions
- On the road to knowledge, I've only ever found the exit.
- If you throw a cat out of a car window, is that kitty litter?

And my favourite:

- The two rules of success:
      1. Don't tell everything you know.

A Deep Thought, brought to you by Jack Handy:

At first I thought, if I were Superman, a perfect secret identity would be "Clark Kent, Dentist," because you could save money on tooth X-rays. But then I thought, if a patient said, "How's my back tooth?" and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, "Oh it's okay," then the patient would probably say, "Aren't you going to take an X-ray, stupid?" and you'd say, "Aw screw you, get outta here," and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill.

Sixteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn by Dave Barry

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve its full potential, that word
would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Final thought for the day: Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

LOL! Those are great!

I can't believe I forgot one of my very favourites: Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Anywayz, Ways to Cope with Stress

1. Jam miniature marshmallows up your nose and sneeze them out. See how many you can do at a time.

2. Use your Mastercard to pay your Visa and vice-versa.

3. Pop some popcorn without putting the lid on.

4. When someone says "have a nice day", tell them you have other plans.

5. Make a list of things to do that you have already done.

6. Dance naked in front of your pets.

7. Put your toddler's clothes on backwards and send him to pre- school as if nothing is wrong.

8. Fill out your tax form using Roman Numerals.

9. Leaf through "National Geographic" and draw underwear on the natives.

10. Tattoo "Out to Lunch" on your forehead.

11. Go shopping. Buy everything. Sweat in it. Return it the next day.

12. Pay your electric bill in pennies.

13. Drive to work in reverse.

14. Sit naked on a shelled hard-boiled egg.

15. Polish your car with earwax.

16. Read the dictionary upside down and look for secret messages.

17. Stare at people through the lines of a fork and pretend they're in jail.

Taken from Frank Herbert's DUNE:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fears path, and only I will remain.

Hehe, I only read the beginning of Dune, but that part was in the beginning, and I do recall he got the litany from the bene gesserits. Also, wasn't one of them? That whole thing about being the only male bene gesserit or something, which IIRC was half the point of the story....?   ???

And now a few examples of how odd my household is... ;)

Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.  We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it  down.

In my house, we need to leave the lid down, or the cat will cheerfully jump into the toilet. Therefore, anyone who leaves the lid up gets to bathe the cat. So we both have to lift the lid. XD

Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Shopping is NOT a sport.  And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

Sure, shopping is a sport!

Step 1: Find all items as quickly as possible.
Step 2: Get through the checkout line as quickly as possible.
Step 3: Leave and go home as quickly as possible.

Actually, Harrison's the one who takes a long time shopping... it takes him forever to pick stuff out. ;P

Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help  solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

OK, this one isn't so odd. In fact, it explains a lot. ;)

Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

Harrison actually has more clothes and more shoes than I do. I kid you not. ;P

Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

Harrison says this a lot, although it's usually in response to me complaining *I* need to get in shape. ;)

IronChef Foicite: "my love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance"
IronChef Foicite: but a potato!
IronChef Foicite: potatos last for f***ing ever, man
IronChef Foicite: in fact, not only will they not rot, they actually grow s*** even if you just leave them in the sack
IronChef Foicite: that part alone makes it a good symbol
IronChef Foicite: but there's more!
IronChef Foicite: there are so many ways to enjoy a potato! you can even make a battery with it!
IronChef Foicite: and that's like saying "i have many ways in which I show my love for you"
IronChef Foicite: and potatos may be ugly, but they're still awesome
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying "it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you"

Hee. Reminds me a little of an old routine Harrison used to do... if he and his quartet were doing some kind of valentine to someone as a gig, the group would sing songs and such, and then Harrison would go, "What better way to say 'I love you'... than with a spatula!", and pull a spatula out and give it to the "honoree". Hee.

"Quotas are bad for America. It's not the way America is all about"

"First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country."

"Let me put it to you this way, I'm not a revengeful person."

"Bush: First of all, cinco de Mayo is not the independence day. That's dieciseis de Septiembre, and...
Matthews: what's that in English?
Bush: Fifteenth of September"

"Many Americans have got debts. We want those Americans to be able to pay off that debts"

"I think the America people- I hope the American- I don't think, let me- I hope the American people trust me."

Lots of useless stuff:

Men get hiccups more often than women do.

55,700 people in the US are injured by jewelry each year.

In the course of a lifetime the average person will grow 2 meters of nose hair.

More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones.

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

Over 2,500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people (Well great, now I'm paranoid )

Right handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left handed people do.

A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

An attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second.

National Pi Day is March 14, at 1:59. (3/14 1:59)

Not in my part of the country, at least. They've switched to using bags. Not as much fun, IMHO.

At any rate, it's utterly scary how many of those are true for me. Heck, I still wear bicycle shorts under skirts (albeit for practical purposes now rather than fashion ones).

Still, there are a few that don't fit for me. For instance, I know I'll probably get lynched for this, but I don't think Saturday Night Live was *ever* funny. :P And I didn't wear Underoos, I had "Day of the Week" underwear. ;P (Heck, I probably should still wear those...

Jethro: [Jed and Jethro are discussing a "fast" girl back in the hills] Uncle Jed, she handed me a big old sugar cookie, looked at me and said, "Jethro, if you had a choice between that cookie and me, which one would you take". Uncle Jed, that's when I found out just how fast she was!

[Jed leans in close to hear the rest of the story]

Jethro: I had to run nearly a mile to get away from her with that cookie!

Jed Clampett: Jethro, some day me and you got to have a long talk.

Er... I would classify jelly shoes as shoes made of (usually brightly colored) plastic, usually set in some sort of "weave" pattern.

Post by: Jeysie on August 01, 2004, 11:18:32 AM
This isn't exactly a quote, but this seemed the best place to post about it.

You know how every movie theater before the movie shows a short bit where they lay down all the rules of the theater? (No talking, no smoking, no cell phones, etc.) Well, the theater Harrison and I saw Spidey 2 at yesterday had one of the funniest ones I've seen in a while.

It had a adult man, a young boy, and Charlie Sheen. (Sorry, he's the only one I recognized off-hand.) It starts with the first two already seated, and as Charlie sits down he asks, "So, you mean there's no nudity in a PG-13 movie?". The other man goes, "No, there's no nudity. Now shhhh." The boy goes, "Yeah, you're not allowed to talk." The words "NO TALKING" show up on the screen, and an announcer voice says, "There is no talking allowed during the movie."

Then we see Charlie lighting up and puffing away on a cigar, and the man leans over and takes it away and goes, "Hey, you can't do that either!" And we see "NO SMOKING", and the announcer says, "There is no smoking inside the theater."

Then the boy wipes his face with a napkin and tosses it on the floor. The man picks it up and says, "Hey, you can't throw that on the floor!" The boy pouts and whines, "Well, where am I supposed to put it?" We see "PLACE TRASH IN RECEPTACLES", and the announcer chimes in with, "Please throw all trash in the proper trash receptacles."

Then we see Charlie yakking on his cell phone, and the boy yanks it away and scolds him, and we see "NO CELL PHONES", and the announcer says "Turn off all cell phones and pagers during the movie."

Then an usher comes over to the trio and says, "I'm sorry, you folks are going to have to leave, you're disrupting the movie." The man says, "Oh, we're not really misbehaving, we're just showing the audience what not to do during a movie. These other folks are all extras. Some of them aren't even real!", and he pulls a fake blow-up dummy into view. Charlie chimes in with, "Yeah, this isn't even a real movie. Look at all the cameras and crew over there."

He points, and the shot then changes to seeing a blank movie screen with lots of crew and cameramen standing in front of it. We then go back to the usher, who's staring with a deadpan look on his face. He then waves and says, "Those cameras aren't allowed in here either, they'll have to leave." It changes back to showing the crew, we see "NO PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICES", and the announcer says, "No recording devices are allowed during the show."

The shot changes back to the usher and the three "movie-goers", and the usher waves off to the right and says, "Yeah, he has to leave, too." The shot then changes to showing the announcer sitting in the theater in a suit and holding a microphone. "NO ANNOUNCERS" shows on screen, and the announcer guy says with a fake smile, "There are no announcers allowed during the movie."

Finally, we see the three movie-goers and the announcer leaving the theater. Charlie complains, "We just got kicked out of our own public service announcement." The boy asks, "I'm hungry. Can I get a hot dog?" The man goes, "No, that's just a prop, you can't eat those here. If this were a real movie, you could get a real hot dog."

The announcer then looks at the "audience" and says, "You can get refreshments at our local concession stand." The three movie-goers look back at the announcer, and Charlie says, "You have to go away and leave us alone now." The three then walk off-screen. The announcer looks hurt for a moment, then recovers and says, "And now it's time to enjoy the pre-feature previews!", and it ends.

The description just doesn't do it justice... everyone in the theater was sniggering like crazy during the whole thing. Now that's the way to handle the requisite laying down the rules!

Peace & Luv, Liz

Hee! Thanks. I was kind of wondering why they randomly had Charlie Sheen in such a thing. ;)

I actually think I forgot a couple things in there... my mind doesn't remember details that well. But you still get the gist of how silly it was. XD

Even better was when they said "No announcers", Harrison pretended to jump in shock, and said "Nooooo! They can't do this to me!" and pretended to start crying. That just made me laugh even harder. :suffer:

Subject: Dear Alcohol


Dear Alcohol,

First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. My friend, you always seem to be there when needed.  The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer with the game, and you're even around in the holidays hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings.  Yet, lately I've been wondering about your intentions.  While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences, briefed below for your review.

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m.  Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not what to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal and, though cooking is far from my specialty, why you suggested that I eat a kabob with chili sauce, along with a big Italian hoagie and some stale chips (washed down with chocolate Nesquik and topped off with a Kit Kat - all after a few cheese curls and chili cheese fries) is beyond me.  Eclectic eater I am, but I think you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down, it's completely unnecessary.  The black and blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day is beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.

4. Pictures: This can be a blessing in disguise, as it can often clarify the last point below, but the following costumes are banned from ever being placed on my head in public again: Indian wigs, sombreros, bows, ties, boxes, upside-down cups, inflatable balloon animals, traffic cones, or bras. Also, what is with you making me take pictures with people I clearly don't like when I'm sober, yet they suddenly become my best friends when a flash is presented?

5. Beer Goggles: If I think I may know him/her from somewhere, I most likely do not.  Please do not request that I go over and see if in fact, I do actually know that person. The phrase 'let's F***' is illegal  from now on. While I may be thinking this, please reinstate the brain-to-mouth-block that would stop this thought from becoming a statement, especially in public. Please stop me from talking to the guy/girl with the acned-up face, bad breath, beer belly, etc. Why are they so appealing to me while I'm with you and why are they so disgusting to me the next morning after you have worn off??

6. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous now. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3 p.m hangover immobility is completely unacceptable.  My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken
(water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to bed/passing out facedown on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal and in no way interfere with my daily Saturday or Sunday (or any day for that matter) activities. C'mon now, it's only fair - you do your part, I'll do mine.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now and would like to ensure that we remain on good terms.  You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.  In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above and address them immediately.  I will look for an answer no later than Friday 3 p.m. (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions and hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you from your biggest fan.

I'd believe it. It makes far more sense, than having a dog with multiple names(my grandparents have a dog with more than one name, but their dog found them, not the other way around).
