Wanna play trivia? Anyone remember who said these? (they're fairly easy)

1) Watson, come here, I want you.
2) Ich bin ein Berliner
3) Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses.
4) December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy.

[/B]

Since no one else has taken up your challenge, allow me the opportunity....

1) Alexander Graham Bell
2) JFK
3) Marilyn Monroe's character in the movie 'How to Marry a Millionaire' actually said this, BUT, I am guessing that you were referring to Dorothy Parker who is usually quoted as saying "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses"
4) FDR

What do I win? And did I do this right? I have never posted to a bulletin board before!

Jesse Ventura: "WIN IF YOU CAN, LOSE IF YOU MUST, BUT CHEAT AT ALL TIMES" (No, this was not his campaign slogan)

Are you sure? and try telling that to the citizens of the state of Minnesota...I'm sure there are a few who would have a slightly different view on that one.

Oh, and if any of you enjoyed my little link to the Denny Green cartoon, there is one of Jesse there this week.

Just click on the dancing Jesse, and enjoy.

 

[Skibum]

When asked by the British commander at Fort Ticondaroga, in whose name he was demanding the fort surrender, Ethan Allen later quoted himself as saying, "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress". What he actually said (as reported by eyewitnesses) was, "Come out of there, you damned old rat!"

"This is your life, good to the last drop. Doesn't get any better then this. This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time. This isn't a seminar, and this isn't a weekend retreat. Where you are now, you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like. Only after disaster can we be resurected, only after you've lost everything, are you free to do anything.Nothing is static, everything is appalling. Everything is falling apart.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake, you are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are all part of the same compost heap. We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

You are not your bank account. You are not the clothes you wear. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your bowel cancer. You are not your grande latte. You are not the car you drive. You are not your fucking khaki's.

You have to give up. You have to realize that someday you will die, and until you know that, you are useless.

I say, may I never be complete. I say, may I never be content. I say deliver me from swedish furniture. I say, deliver me from clever art. I say, deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth. I say, you have to give up.


I say, evolve, and let the chips fall where they may.

This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time."

I love this quote, it always makes me chuckle.

"Flying is learning to throw yourself at the ground, and miss." -Douglas Adams

 

[Renegade]

"I have come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum!" - Roddy Piper in They Live

I think those words define life at it's best. Or worst if you want to be a dick about it!

[RoseThorn]

"A lady came up to me on the street and pointed to my suede jacket. 'You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?' she sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone, 'I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too.'" Jake Johanson

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great." Comte DeBussy-Rabutin

 

[Renegade]

RoseThorn, I loved that first quote! I had to read it twice to get it(I'm an idiot) but that was still a cool quote.

Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to shit
