AK_Thug AMish Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I believe it's "red sky at night, sailor's delight..." but that's fine.I like, "I'd rather be rich than stupid" And whenever the girls xc team calls us immature (which is quite often), I say one of two things,"You're only young as you feel!" or "You're only young once, but you can act immature forever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Op Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_Thug AMish Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Last Jack Handy quote (promise):"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what is I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

AK_Thug AMish Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Do not forget our lovable, quotable president "I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" —George W. Bush, Beaverton, Oregon, Aug. 13, 2004"We stand for things." —George W. Bush, Davenport, Iowa, Aug. 5, 2004"My job is to, like, think beyond the immediate." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., April 21, 2004I'm suprised that wasn't the theme of the RNC: "We stand for.... THINGS!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 "We stand for.... THINGS!"How true! Don't we all?!When I am president that's gonna be my platform .EDIT: Actually, do you know the context that was in? Because if it was used in proper context, it may not have been that funny... Like "We stand for things. And these things will not... bla bla bla" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKen132 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 "Sic Sempre Tyrannus"Ha, I knew it would be in there. John Wilkes Boothe shouted this after assasinating President Lincoln then making some mad jump, breaking his leg, and getting away. It means "THus is the fate of tyrants".
