Subject: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Rustic Rebel Date: 24 Jan 02 - 02:38 AM I was asked the other day what my favorite saying was-Most often I use... "I have a hundred year life plan ahead of me" Another favorite- " Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants, and slide on the ice!" Another from Tom Robbins (came to mind on the depression thread) "Depression is a form of self-pity, and self-pity is a form of taking life too seriously." One more- from Jostein Gaarder, "If our brain was simple enough to understand it,we would be so stupid we wouldn't be able to understand it after all." Anyone else have any?? Rustic |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jan 02 - 04:40 AM I have various sayings all of them stupid but various people have picked up on them and have started saying them.

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Kim C Date: 24 Jan 02 - 10:15 AM One day Mister burst forth with this little gem: Sometimes ya pokes the cow, and sometimes the cow pokes you. Another one he likes to say, that he didn't make up, is: A bear sleeps in a bear skin, I suppose; I slept in my bare skin and damn near froze. A faithful heart makes wishes come true. - from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart. - from O Brother Badger me not with details. - from A Knight's Tale Serenity NOW! - from Seinfeld Anything John Prine ever wrote. I think he said, the sheriff is near. - from... well, y'all know where it's from. :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 24 Jan 02 - 11:17 AM Mark Knopfler sang, "sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug." And, apropos to the emotions that are running high around here among some people, someone said (perhaps it was even me, although I don't want to take credit for it,)"You get the life you receive." I liked the way that Kendal said it better, though. Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Midchuck Date: 24 Jan 02 - 11:28 AM Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. You get what you pay for. (Not by any means strictly true in all cases, but worth considering when something seems like a really good deal.) Afore I was desperate enuff to use your brains, I'd use my own! (Pogo, of course. The second saddest thing about growing older is that fewer and fewer people remember Pogo.) Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Pooby Date: 24 Jan 02 - 11:52 AM Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. (Groucho Marx) When you assume, you make an ass out of U and Me. (Felix Unger) All that is gold does not glitter. (I think it was either Samwise Gamgee or Frodo Baggins) The drunker I sit here, the longer I get. (Anon.) Just a sampling, mind you. Pooby |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: The Walrus at work Date: 24 Jan 02 - 12:35 PM When a deal looks too good to be true.....It usually is ! After a particularly BAD joke (or an attempt to BS me that didn't work) I have been heard to mutter "Yes, very good. Now sit back in your chair and we'll plug it in" One of my Father's was "If "If"s and "And"s were pots and pans, we'd have no need of tinkers". Another one of Dad's that I've found myself using - "I'm not quite as green as I'm cabbage looking" Walrus |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: kendall Date: 24 Jan 02 - 12:39 PM No amount of belief can create a fact. We have met the enemy, and, he is us. (Pogo) I'm not the man I used to think I was. (not sure, maybe mine) Music hath charm to soothe the savage BREAST.(Congreve) All that GLISTERS is not gold. Shakespere) Brevity is the soul of wit. (Shakespere) I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.(Irish proverb?) Iron is tempered by fire, mankind by adversity. (Seneca) |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Jan 02 - 12:43 PM Well geez Kendall, that crap just goes to show how little Shakespeare actually knew. I think Dorothy Parker had it better with, "Brevity is the soul of lingerie." Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Bill D Date: 24 Jan 02 - 12:57 PM I have WAY too many to consider what to choose, because the WWW and internet not only collect them, but offer you programs to insert them into your email, sign your newsgroups posts....and generally inundate you with so much cleverness by others that you may give up trying to BE clever yourself! do you doubt me?....do a Google search on "taglines" or "signatures" ...but, my Daddy used to have a bunch:
"...next October, at 4 o'clock" the one I invented was "Entropy will get you, if you don't watch out!...In fact, Entropy will get you even if you DO watch out" *thinking of 'good' ones to offer* |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Bill D Date: 24 Jan 02 - 01:11 PM following my own advice, I searched and found: "Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks." Goethe "All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few." Stendhal "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Galileo Galilei "The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball." Doug Larson happy hunting! |

1 Unconditional love does not mean blind acceptance of negative behaviour.

7 Never throw your weapon. It may be handed back to you.
8 The quickest way to a mans heart is a sharp upward stab between the ribs.
9 Never give a Celt an even break... Compound fractures heal slower.

13 It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool.
14 There's always someone in the lobby that isn't supposed to be there.
15 Don't talk to me with your pants down!

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: Kim C Date: 24 Jan 02 - 02:08 PM I went to a seminar once where Zig Ziglar said, Money will buy you a bed but it won't buy you a good night's sleep. There is no profit in ifs. We must go from where we stand. -- from one of the Cadfael mysteries There's a quote by Mark Twain that I really like but I can never seem to remember it exactly. It's something like, our Creator has endowed us with three things: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the prudence to exercise neither. Wasn't it Thoreau or Emerson who said to beware of enterprises that require new clothes? Although I've never lived by that one... |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Jan 02 - 02:16 PM Ol' Zig huh Kim? Not going to throw in his attitude/aptitude/altitude line? Geeziz, is he still alive and selling that crock of shit? Amazing......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite sayings,adages,one liners From: kendall Date: 24 Jan 02 - 02:59 PM Dont own anything that has to be fed or painted. (Utah Phillips). Spaw, I expect Dorothy Parker looked better in her nightie than Shakespere did in his. Men/women are like dog turds. The older they are, the easier it is to pick them up. |
