    Some funny quotes about The Arts

    I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No
    brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.

    To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music,
    no choreography and the dancers hit each other.


    The problem was his poetry, which was of the Naturalistic school
    and leaned heavily on the S alliteration: "Sad, sorrow-sunk survivors
    of a sadistic society, saturated with strong, stiff stench of
    stifling strife..."


    I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues
    that are in all the other museums.

    In America, only the successful writer is important, in France all writers
    are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have
    to explain what a writer is.
    AHAHAHAHAH this was my favorite!!

    Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
    "... the movie looks it was filmed by a rhesus monkey with a video camera. The
    editing looks like it was performed by a rhesus monkey with a Cuisinart.
    Apparently, if you're a rhesus monkey, you can really go places in Hollywood."


    the television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes
    a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren
    which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little...

    - Ray Bradbury (is big Bradbury fan)


    I have the oldest typewriter in the world. It types in pencil.

    Never agree to plastic surgery if the doctor's office is full of
    portraits by Picasso.


    "The length of a film should be directly
    related to the endurance of the human bladder." -Hitchhok

    "Which painting in the National Gallery would I save
    if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course."

    -- George Bernard Shaw

    "The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scotts
    as a joke, but the Scotts haven't seen the joke yet."


    "Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and,
    instead of bleeding, he sings."
    -Ed Gardner

    "All music is folk music. I ain't never heard no horse sing a song."

    Louis Armstrong.

    "I bought an audio cleaning tape. I'm a big fan of theirs."
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.


    Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

    You people wanna us go mad 'cus of laughter. Dramas.. your story is really hillarios. Keep the ball rolling.
    Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

    I've stolen this one from somewhere, but here goes...

    A man walks in to his therapist's office and says, "Please help me! One minute I think I'm a teepee, and the next I'm a wigwam. I'm a teepee. I'm a wigwam. Teepee! Wigwam!"

    The therapist replies, "Relax man! You're two tents."

    This is funnier when the joke is verbal.

    Yes, you surely can. Do it.
    I too, some of 'em are just taken from somewhere.

    Here is a popular one:

    A boy asked his father "Daddy, how was I born?" Dad answered: "Ah, my son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Well, you see your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Pop-Up appeared and said You've Got Male

    Here's one for the history buffs...

    A farmer was sitting in his outhouse, when one of his children ran up and flipped the outhouse on its side and ran away. The farmer manages to get out of the outhouse, and calls his children to him. He asks, "Who tipped over the outhouse?'

    None of the children answered. The farmer again asks his children, "Which one of you tipped over the outhouse?" Still none of the children would reply.

    The farmer thought for a bit, and then told the children the story of George Washington and the Cherry Tree. "Do you children know who George Washington was?" The children all stared blankly. The farmer continued, "George Washington was a GREAT man! He was the first president of the United States. When George Washington was young he chopped down a cherry tree. His father asked who had chopped down the cherry tree, and George Washington said, "Father I cannot tell a lie. It was I." His father was so happy with George Washington's honesty that he didn't punish him. George Washington was a great man! I ask my children again, who tipped over the outhouse?"

    The middle child shuffled his feet and said, "Father I cannot tell a lie. It was I."

    The father dismissed the other children, and then proceeded to give a vigorous spanking to his middle child. When the spanking was over, the middle child with tears in his eyes asked, "Father, why did you punish me, when George Washington's father did not punish him?"

    The father replied, "When George Washington chopped down the cherry tree, his father was not in the cherry tree!"

    Ba-dum-bum

    Hey Muhsin, just went over your profile and what are you saying you're younger than me? I'm just seventeen! And by the way, very good-looking, huh..

    Here's one joke:

    A couple went to a restaurant for dinner:

    Boy: What do you want to order, honey?
    Girl : Anything you order is fine by me, teddy bear...
    Boy: Alright then. Do you want beefsteak?
    Girl : I had beef for lunch.
    Boy: Eh chicken?
    Girl : I had chicken last night.
    Boy: Crab meat?
    Girl : I'm allergic to crab.
    Boy: Shrimp tempura?
    Girl : I'm allergic to shrimp.
    Boy: Tuna?
    Girl : I don't eat tuna.
    Boy: What about green salad?
    Girl : Is that with Thousand Island dressing or vinaigrette?
    Boy: Thousand Island.
    Girl : Bleccchh!
    Boy: Okay, what about vinaigrette?
    Girl : I don't like vinaigrette either.

    Fuming...

    Boy: SO WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?!!!
    Girl : It's up to you, my teddy bear...

    'Course! Everybody's good-looking enough to be mentioned as such.

    yeah - Muhsin, if the picture on your profile is you, you're quite handsome!

    and Lain, if the picture on YOUR profile is you, i think i'll go off and spend several hours in a closet raising my self-esteem back up.
