Thought this one might be fitting....

"Better to let people think you're an asshole, then to open your mouth and prove it." - Unkown

And my fav

"It's just like deja vu all over again" - Yogi Berra

 

[Never]

Guh. No, no, no.. It goes "Better you remain silent and they think you a fool than you speak and remove all doubt."

 

[Blues]

Guh. No, no, no.. It goes "Better you remain silent and they think you a fool than you speak and remove all doubt."

You quote it your way, I'll quote it mine.

(I still like mine better, a bit more current and appropriate to the topic)

Many quotes have been paraphrased to reflect modern times. I doubt many people today would be offended at being called a fool, but would be more likely to find it odd and humorous.

Yep, those nerds over at alt.quotes can come up with some doozies at times. By the by thanks for finally clueing me in on who that dude was who's always plays the weird dumb/sarcastic guy in movies....Steve Buscemi! So what movie was that quote from?

 

[KillerMuffin]

A classic in modern comedy, Airheads

 

[April]

Ooooh, Brendan Fraser! *drool*

 

[Silverlily]

OK, which do you prefer?
Brendan Fraser with:

long hair as in Airheads,
shoulder length as in George of the Jungle, or
short hair as in The Mummy?

 

[April]

Definitely the short hair, but buff like in George! But, damn, I'll take him any way I can get him!

 

[Silverlily]

LOL, I had to stop and think before I wrote that. For a minute all I could remember about George of the Jungle was that darling little loincloth.

 

[April]

That is one very yummy man!

You do know that The Mummy 2 is being made? Yay!

 

[Silverlily]

No, I did not, very cool.

I was about to ask if you knew what the storyline was, but do we REALLY care?

 

[April]

LOL I'm not sure what the story line is. I do know that a lot of the cast from the first one are in the second one.

 

[Rosebud]

mmmmm...Brendan....yummy, damn i cannot think of the Movie title...help Siren or Havocman...I liked him in the one with drew barrymore where he had been in the warshelter for so long...damn he was so innocent and to just think what i could have done with him

 

[Cheyenne]

"In a battle of wits, you're unarmed" is my favorite.

Closely followed by one I first heard from a VP at work:
"We don't know where we're going, but we're making great time!" A perfect description for the business he was responsible for at the time.

 

[endorphin]

"life is an experiment in bieng human, there are no mistakes...." - unknown

oooh i feel so naughty =)

 

[Naked Hunny]

Sweetie the Brendan movie you are refering to was "Blast from the Past" and that wasnt Drew Barrymore that was Alicia Silverstone.

Solomon Short:

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters."

 

[Canucklehead922]

I've been reading previous posts, and I want to say something concerning the use of the word "quote". I remember being chewed out by my 11-grade English teacher for using the word "quote" inappropriately, as in "...the following quote from Macbeth illustrates..." He explained to me patiently that "quote" is a verb; you quote something. The correct word to use is "quotation". Then he hit me with a broom and told me to never again use "quote" other than as a verb.

I've been scarred for life. Don't let the same happen to you.

Favorite Quotation

My favorite quotation is attributed to one of my all time favorites, Mae West: "When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better." Then there is the barber telling my son about the hair cut he'd just received: "Give it time, it'll grow on you." And my son replied, "Yeah, but so do warts." ~~~Val
