I am trying to find a new quote. The one I currently have doesn't fit my mood anymore. Any suggestions?

These are the few I found and like:

This just makes me laugh out loud:

"I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out."
Rodney Dangerfield.

And the rest:

"If women were meant to play football, God would have put their tits somewhere else."
Gordon Sinclair.

"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."
Steven Wright.

"The first ninety minutes of a football match are the most important."
Bobby Robson.

Ha! Rodney, for sure.

That just cracks me up everytime I read it. Just not a big hockey fan.

... and it's probably monofilament.

"It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious."
--H.D. Thoreau

"Just because you wrote the story, Mr. Asimov, what makes you think you know anything at all about it?"
--unnamed English Lit Professor quoted by Isaac Asimov in Opus 100

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
--H.A.L. 2000

Rodney would be doubly ironic this year, since the greedy b******s have cancelled the season, and Rodney's dead.

I wonder if Steven would mind, if we amended the quote a little: There's a fine line between photography and standing around like a camera-toting idiot...

That would work. Don't want to insult people though.

I think it was Jason Kidd that said the first day he was signed into the NBA "We are going to turn this team around 360 Degrees"

I guess I will go with the Dangerfield quote.
03/02/2005 06:38:45 PM · #13
here are some more to think about

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

and my favorite one

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

How about the one without the quotes. "This just makes me laugh out loud" ; )
03/02/2005 07:20:56 PM · #15
Think I will go with the Rodney one for now.

Some quotes I used to use as tag-lines in my email program:

Definition: Lottery: a tax on people who are bad at math

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
-- Douglas Adams (1952-2001), British writer

"A bore is a person who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company"
-John MacDonald in 'The Turquoise Lament', 1973

Contents may have settled. This message was intellectually full at the factory.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from
the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent
disinclination to do so.
-- Douglas Adams

A Nobel Peace Prize? I would KILL for one of those.
-- Anon.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow
of death,
I shall fear no evil,
for I
am well-read in geology,
meteorology,
astronomy and
philosophy, and have
a good pair of hiking boots.

Use words that taste good, because you might have to eat them.
-- Carl Sandburg

Here is a good one that can be used here sometimes.

"The fact that no one understands you doesn't make you an artist."
--Unknown

And another classic from Rodney:

"I was so poor growing up ... if I wasn't a boy ...I'd have nothing to play with."
--Rodney Dangerfield

Here is my favorite:

"Procrastination is like masturbation, it feels good at the time, but in the end your only screwing yourself."
03/03/2005 12:32:10 PM · #21
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

Sorry, nerd quote...

I would kill everyone in this room for a single sweet suculent drop.. of beer.

Homer J Simpson

Yes my lady I may be drunk, but your ugly.
And in the morning i'll be sobber and you'll still be ugly.

Winston Churchill

Several years ago, someone was interviewing a NC STATE basketball star (at one point, I knew his name, but can't remember it now), and asked him what he thought the secret to his basketball success was.

He replied, "I'm amphibious. I can shoot with both hands."
