"Never write what you can say,
never say on the phone what you can say in person,
never say what you can nod,
never nod what you can wink and
never wink what you can smile."

Huey Long, American Politician

Ahhh... Huey Long. The epitomy of the dapper Southern politician. As smooth as a car salesman (he had been a salesman) and as trustworthy as a viper.

His last words, according to his sister, were: "Don't let me die, I have got so much to do."

A) "Never drink yellow snow".
B) "He who laughs last is just doing it out of politeness and doesn't get the joke".
C) "If at first you don't succeed, give up and try something easier"
D) "Three rules for a healthy life: 1. Don't mess with another mans beer. 2. Underpants are compulsory. 3. Never -ever- stand on Supermans cape".
E) "Before investigating a spooky noise in the cellar, make sure the batteries in your torch are okay".
F) "Never play Let's-See-What-This-Button-Does in the cockpit of a flying aircraft - even if you ARE the pilot".
G) "When putting on a jumper, remove the lit cigerette from your mouth first".
H) "He who attempts to teach the Kangaroo to do the Tango needs the shade of the Coolibah tree quickly".
I) "He who succeeds in teaching the Kangaroo to do the tango needs an agent quickly".
J) "He who merely watches a man trying to teach the Kangaroo to do the Tango, needs a girlfriend".
K) "The Kangaroo needs to be left alone as it prefers breakdancing".

I can't be bothered writing any more for now so, to quote Stephen Hawking when his batteries run out... BEEEEEEEPPPPPP.

Hello there!
My randon quote is...
YOU CAN'T HOLD A TEACUP AND A GUN IN YOUR HAND.
(Neil Manson)
So tea is the answer..?

Personally I prefer single quotes, not lists that appear to have been taken from chain emails (look at the blog for how much we hate those...).

The kangaroo thing was interesting though.

Anyway, I guess it falls to me to say that I'm sure Darth (or someone) will be along soon to add you to our lists.

Tip: have a name before you get added, please don't make us remember your U-number.

"Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses"

Well I see that since I have been gone Catwoman has taken over the job of welcoming the new ones. Well to all of you I welcome you, and if you have not been added yet Darth will be back on Tuesday!

Be grateful for all the terrible things you have never experienced, then realise you have been blessed, after all.

"may you live in interesting times"

ITV news said it was an ancient Chinese proverb. Terry Pratchett had it down as a curse. Where do you think they do their research?

I had heard it variously as a Hopi or an African curse....

Here are a couple of links on the subject....

I posted this in another thread last night because I didn't know about this one. D'OH!

I'd like to join the Guild. My random quote is: "You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?" The Princess Bride, William Goldman.

An excellent quote if i may sa.
have µ ever read the book? far better than the movie
(as soooooo many things R. *sigh*)

-- Gifalis

I first saw the movie (actually I got to watch it 2.5 times in 9th grade at my school in different classes). Then the year after I realized it was a book! I love both the book and the movie, probably because I saw the movie before reading the book.

2 tell the truth, i have never actually read the book...(can't find the bugger!!) my friends tell me its excelent, they have told soooooo much concerning differences and such that there is little in the book that i do not know, save only the majisty of the written prose.

i like the movie though
