Charles Manson in a prison interview....

"I didn't kill anybody. If I started killing people, there wouldn't be any of you left."

[Caveman.Jones]

Charles Manson in a prison interview....

"I didn't kill anybody. If I started killing people, there wouldn't be any of you left."

At the end of that interview Manson threatens Geraldo Rivera, "I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you," as Rivera taps on the glass behind him muttering "Lemmee outta here."

Highly recommended: Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter for the definitive Manson family send-up, or Jim Carey's Charlie ala Wayans' In Living Color.

"Well, our road system was designed by cow trails..."

This is one of my favorites. My granddad told me this one, and I smiled big big after he did, because he's right. The roads in this area of Maine, probably most of Maine, were built on top of the trails the cows wandered over and over, a hundred or so years ago. Most of them are horribly designed and awkwardly winding and such.

So we follow the paths designed by ancient generations of cows every day!

Here, lemme try to not be so retarded this time... ;)


If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep with the light on because he's afraid of the dark, he sleeps with the night light on because the dark is afraid of him.

Chuck Norris doesn't lift himself off the ground when he does pushups, he pushes the ground down.

The chemical symbol for deadly cyanide, is CN- these are also Chuck Norris's initials. This is not a coincidence.

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep; he waits.

"If you don't have the best of everything, make the best of everything you have."

[leasa]

• People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you'll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.

• The Rose Bowl is the only bowl I've ever seen that I didn't have to clean.

• Spend at least one Mother's Day with your respective mothers before you decide on marriage. If a man gives his mother a gift certificate for a flu shot, dump him.

• No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there's a wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.

• Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving.

• Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop offs at tedium and counter productivity.

• My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch on fire or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one cares. Why should you?

• Education is so important when it comes to domesticity. I don't know why no one ever thought to paste a label on the toilet tissue spindle giving 1-2-3 directions for replacing the tissue on it. Then everyone in the house would know what Mama knows.

• Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.

• Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born.

• I'm going to stop punishing my children by saying, "Never mind! I'll do it myself."

• When mothers talk about the depression of the empty nest, they're not mourning the passing of all those wet towels on the floor, or the music that numbs your teeth, or even the bottle of capless shampoo dribbling down the shower drain. They're upset because they've gone from supervisor of a child's life to a spectator. It's like being the vice president of the United States.

• You become about as exciting as your food blender.
The kids come in, look you in the eye, and ask if anybody's home.

• My mother phones daily to ask, "Did you just try to reach me?" When I reply, "No", she adds, "So, if you're not too busy, call me while I'm still alive," and hangs up.

• Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.

:cool2::oh: " The Regina Coeli " ( for these days of Easter! and ER)Queen of Heaven rejoice! Alleluia! For He whom thou wast worthy to bear! Alleluia! Has risen as He said! Alleluia! Pray for us to God! Alleluia! Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary! Alleluia! For the Lord is truly risen! Alleluia! LET US PRAY! O God, Who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, hast been pleased to give joy to the whole world, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may attain the joys of eternal life! Through the same Christ Our Lord! Amen! (this is also here in praise and thanksgiving for prayers answered for Emma! KL on my mind Sat.2!)

[**Jae**]

OK. Sort of a quote. Ending paragraph of "A River Runs Through It". For some reason this gets to me.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

[**Jae**]

"I could host that show..."

Louis Black, in response to some horrible plug for a horrible ficticious show that was meant as an insult to either Viagra, or Trump, in Blacks new show... (I wasn't really paying attention to the other comedians)

I can't really stand the show, other than seeing and hearing Louis Black...

Oh, there was another quote by him I saw on CNN the other day... (forgive my miserable paraphraising please :( )

"During the presidential elections, you have this guy over here saying the universe was created in 6 days and that it's gods will that his candidate become the president... WHAT IS THAT? You don't KNOW! You can't KNOW."
My favorite was when he was like, "WHAT IS THAT?" Soooooo blatent it's dizzying. Man I screwed that quote all up. Had to be there I guess.

Hi,

Caught the end of a political discussion on TV on Friday and one of the participants (didn't catch his name) came out with this line that I kinda liked -

'Politics is only show business for ugly people'.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Firetalion]

This one is from a movie, but it's still one of my favorites. From The Crow.

Mother is the word for God on the lips and hearts of children.


Remember that next time you think of yourself before your children.

[Firetalion]

Politics is something, like it or not, that we all have to deal with John.

I know you don't live in America, so you have little to do with this type of discussion, but either way, I know in America, if you don't cast your vote, then you can't complain when the world comes crumbling down.

[Firetalion]

Uh oh! I think I got a big demon involved now...

[BlackThorn]

Oh wait, I got another...

Lucifer - 'It's nothing a hole in the ground and some lime couldn't cure...'

He said this one about me, not to me.

Some Toon - 'He don't know me werry well, now do he?' Hahahahaha! :biggrin2:

Oh, and this one kicked my butt to hear... Especially when he nodded goodbye, said thanks, and used a name, which... didn't really make sense, I never offered him my name...

Old Man behind me in supermarket checkout line, referring to a huge lemon in his basket -

'Put a big slice of that right on top your sandwich... eat the whole thing, rind and all. If you have a cold before, you won't after. It's the most screwed up reward system in the world."

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.

"What America did with the current war, is like... picture watching somebody threatening beating up somebody smaller than them, so we step in, being the big boy in town that we are, and pound that bully in the face. We grab them and pound them, but then we let them go and take a step back, and wait for them to recover. We're telling them we're in charge, but giving them a chance to retaliate."

- my buddy Joe


"We should have let them know we were going to come in. We should have given them a chance, to get the hell out if they wanted to remain alive. And if they didn't hang it up and leave, we should have sent in five times the force we did, and just cut their heads off once and for all. Clean the entire rats nest out in one clean up job. But we didn't. Instead we're still screwing around in there years and years after, feeding our troops to the fire."

-- a paraphrase of what some government intelligence director stated on the radio I caught a while ago

[BlackThorn]

Oh, and how dare I quote Lucifer, without quoting Michael?

Michael - 'Make a fist with your right hand. This is the power that we have. Now cover it with your left hand. This is how we control that power.'


Maybe that's a paraphrase a little bit, I forget. This one isn't.

Me - 'He bragged that he has post tramautic stress syndrome.'

Michael - 'We all do.'


This one might not give you chills, but it does me.

Michael - 'It was the chemicals...'


She said this one completely out of context of any conversation we were having...

Raphael - 'So, we're already dead?'


and just to top it off...

Gabriel - 'I think Jesus was a witch. Think about what he did. Think about his disciples, 12 members plus him make a 13 member coven...


Oh brother did the kid he was speaking to ever get mad, hahahahaha!

Each man should own at least one suit. To go to weddings, and funerals. And to be buried in.

My Granda said this to me one day. He has a really good point. Something you look good in, ya know? Then that's one thing less your loved ones have to worry about when you pass, and you'll pretty much always be prepared in general.

But he's a little twisted by the fact his father passed at the young age of 35. So he sooooooo didn't expect to make it to age 60, much less to over 90.

Oh, and I like this quote by him too...

Everything's fine till you turn 86. But after that, you just fall apart...

But he still walks a couple miles every chance he gets. =oD

Introduction to 3 Libras

This song, this song, is called '3 Libras' and at least two, if not three of those Libras are here tonight.

If this song sounds bitter, it's because it is, and I am.

Introduction to Sleeping Beauty

Allow me to expand on that, if I could...

I was in this, relationship with a person who was so terrified to show me who they really were, that she basically acted, or slept her way through nine months of the relationship, and then just disappeared...

...and, I kinda wrote these words to kinda maybe work through that and maybe hopefully someday she would hear it, and 'get it'...

So as it turns out, she calls me after a year of being completely gone. Heard the record! loves it! Just doesn't get it. Isn't that ironic?

This song's called Sleeping Beauty.

James Maynard Keenan's introduction to a few songs in for a live set by 'A Perfect Circle' in Miami, Florida on May seventeenth 2000.

It's true you don't own that person's feelings and how they take something you say is truly up to them but that doesn't mean you should be irresponsible with what you say. There are ways to be true to yourself, say what you need to say but use diplomacy so that you don't just plow over other people's feelings.

[BlackThorn]

If I spent my life worrying if who I am bothered people, I wouldn't be living my life; I would be living theirs. Sorry, if that isn't me.

And no, I don't feel it's what I 'need' to say. I'm just saying it. Listen or not, censor me or not, it's what I'm GOING to say. If I can't say it here because people who have an interest in Stephen King are good christian or catholic soldiers that don't like to look outside the box, then it's fine with me. Put red tape over my mouth if it makes one kitten feel better about how they live their life. My friends don't, and believe me, they like what I have to offer in this sence.

Here's one of my alltime favorites.


"Cry about it."

[BlackThorn]

"I don't care if you rip that into a thousand pieces, and throw it in the nearest trash..."

A teacher of mine, describing to me how he really felt so deeply of The Christ's image on the pamphlet he had given me meant to him, and then describing to me how it wasn't his option to judge, and he was only offering the concept of how he considered it beautiful.

He wasn't selling me anything. He was offering me something beautiful, and saying I don't even need to keep it, even though it was what was most sacred to him in this entire world.

But I think my least favorite quote, was when he told me that he was such a devout catholic, that he thought anyone who wasn't a baptised catholic would never make it into heaven, because it's what he was trained to believe.

Believe me when I say that part turned my stomach inside out.

The best way to look outside the box, is to never look from inside the box to begin with.

[BlackThorn]

"The Thought Police"

These existed in 1984, and if you even looked like you had the wrong thought on your face at the wrong time, you'd become a prisoner of the endless government and probably 'vaporized' for it.

Don't like something George Bush said? Well, hope you fine tuned your mask this morning, or that'll be all she wrote.

I really loved that girl he found in that story too. It was all just so perfect. "we could make love right now", and the thought both made them turn away in utter disgust.

Put me in room 101, I won't renounce my friends and loves. Heck, I'll walk you through my greatest fears before we even go through the door if you want. Just never give me a chance to bite you, even if it looks like I won't or don't bite.

I think my mom was Yogi Berra. LOL

Oh my mother had one to suit any situation, here's one I often wondered about, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't beat behind (yes behind) the bush." I don't remember what I was doing at the time that prompted that one, I might have blocked that particular memory. LOL

My favorite quotes are from me!

"You act like you're gettin' off the planet alive." That one is for people who fail to realize the measure of a life well-spent is happiness. If you are happy, you won. Working yourself to death and missing out on enjoying the short time we have is foolish.

"Maybe you'll pick a better one next time." That one is for my crying daughter when her latest 'one true love' turns out to be the jerk I told her he was 2 months before. It's funny to me.:smile2:

"Human nature is my sharpest blade." That is my usual forum signature. It is my way of giving 'fair warning'.

LOL No but she once wrote a hot check to pay the insurance, ahhh no that was my dad. Well it's all relative anyway.

Kilroy ownage!

Kilroy, for those of you who missed it, this was the insignia that our US troops used to tag our enemy territories with, after we had eliminated the enemy in that sector. We tagged everywhere we were with this insignia. It even appeared on a stone on the moon in a Tex Avery cartoon, 'The Cat Who Hated People'.

KILROY WAS HERE!

I personally love it when SK quotes Shakespeare if, only just for the fun of it, eg. colloquially dropping in phrases as "full fathom five" from "The Tempest" in the scene in Duma Key, when the gargantuan Dr. Kamen sits on a sofa and instantly submerges "full fathom five" beneath armrest-level :biggrin2:.

Have you seen the old man
Outside the Seaman's Mission
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care

[SKLuver]

What is your favorite quote?

It's better to flame out than slowly fade away.....
Let the good times roll
I'm just a painter who's drawing a blank
Live*Life*Loud
I'm tired of being what people want me to be!
All i've got left is what you didn't take~

“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.”

Epictetus quotes (Greek philosopher associated with the Stoics, AD 55-c.135) Very stoic to be sure. :eyebrow:

[CorbinKale]

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

:cool2::smile2: Here's a favorite that CubJax brought home from school! : " The Miracle prayer"

"Lord Jesus, I come before You just as I am.
I am sorry for my sins, I repent my sins, please forgive me.
In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me.
I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works.
I give You my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever.
I invite You into my life, Jesus, I accept You as my Lord, God and Saviour.
Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit.
Come, Lord Jesus, cover me with Your Precious Blood, and fill me in Your Holy Spirit.
I love You Lord Jesus.
I praise You, Jesus.
I thank You Jesus.
I shall follow You everyday of my life. Amen.
Mary, my Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints, please help me. Amen.
[LIST]
And on the same card is:
Say this prayer faithfully, no matter how you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you.
You will experience God, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way.
