Ok here's my fav. quotes but I don't know who said most of them:
"Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine"
"My reality check bounced"
"Dancing is silent poetry." Simonides ( approx. 556-468 BC)
My all time fav. - "Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines!"

The people may go, but the hills remain.
That's an old Irish proverb. Is there anyone here who is Irish? Or part Irish like me?

No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
and:
Wise men talk because they have something to say, fools talk because they have to say something.

Is there anyone here who is Irish? Or part Irish like me? Maybe I will be Irish someday! ;D LOL I'm thinking about migrating, and why not to Ireland? Other quotes: A computer beat me at chess once. But, it was no match for me at kick boxing. Don't let people drive you crazy when it is within walking distance. I don't necessarily agree with everything I say. How do I set a laser printer to stun? Windows is NOT a virus. Viruses DO something Math problems? Call 1-800-[(10x)(ln(13e))]-[sin(xy)/2.362x] |

It's not in Middle Earth, it's from "Raise Your Voice" that's the best part of the movie:
Terry wants to get in to her dorm but it's locked so she pounds and then Jay comes and in his stellar English ccents goes:
"Sorry all full up."
Terry is distressed and says something like "I just want to get to my dorm. My train was late and I'm tired"
Jay, "What's the password?"
Terry, "Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm Terry." she sticks out her hand to shake,but Jay ignores it and just looks at her and says, "Jay."
He realizes he's being difficult so he reaches over and picks up one of her bags and says "It's monkeys by the way . . . the password."
And Terry just walks in and goes, "Mm-Hmm" like "I'm done with putting up with you" lol

I'll make it a point not to watch that one then.
BTW, I just have to ask if anyone knows the meaning of "No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats"?

I'll bet you could baptize a cat if you tied it up in a pillow case... but wouldn't be very nice,
have you ever put tape on a cat's paws?

i got it from this e-mail of lessons learned in life.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . . . not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . having friends.
At age 16 success is . . . having a drivers license.
At age 20 success is . . . having a girlfriend that thinks you a really good looking
At age 35 success is . . . having money.
At age 50 success is . . having money.
At age 60 success is . . having a girlfriend that thinks you are really good looking
At age 70 success is . . having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.
At age 80 success is . . not peeing in your pants.
