That's me in an arguement. :D
That's a great point for an argument. What a sharp mind! :thumbsup:
It was funny. I said it and laughed. My friends like that one.Quote:

Well done ;)
Made my day. The person I said it to didn't like it, but that is their own problem. If I wasn't insulting them it would be hilarious. They should stop having so many energy drinks. :p:D;)
As with the consumption of alcohol and the servings of chocolate, moderation is one of the keys to a pleasant happy life.
Hehe. Hilarious.Quote:

Ehh, all the inspiration I have at the moment. Horrible.
The mouse scurries to its drawer,
the hard drive hum recedes,
and I withdraw to my bed.
But the computer screen is still flashing and bright inside my head.
Boredom is an occupation that fills up much time.
Ahh, Paul and Daniel. Genious at work.
"The future is a dream of the past."
Ahh, you're onto something here. Reminds me of the T.S. Eliot quote, which btw, probably has nothing to do with what you intended your quote to mean, but anyway:Quote:

Yeah, totally random, but I was just thinking about the essay from which that quote came from, and so your aphorism undoubtably made me think of it. Again, I think you meant it in different terms.
Of relevance, kind sir. Not exactly what I meant, but a little.Quote:

Okay, I supose that won't go down in history, but it does point out that my dad just ate a leaf off the little bonsai tree he has. Totally random. Just downright weird.
Only now I'm tempted to try it, just as I'm curious...
I ate a flower for that reason. I felt bad afterwards because it was really pretty.
Like was when I was a lot younger in primary school, one of the big kids was handing out flowers and he gave me one.
As much as I hate flowers for their dust-collecting, supposed-to-be gravestone dwelling properties, I liked it. So I hid it so nobody could take it from me.
At the end of grade six I pulled a lump of mush out of my schoolbag and cried because I hurt the pretty flower.
And that is my whole life story. :lol:

Ahh Maxi. Love them all, as always.
I likey the last one... -shudders-
I'd explain it but it one of those nice ones that make sense and still make you think, 'gah it is still there!!'
Thank you dear :)
"Age is a number that dictates my whole life."
Something I said on the crushes thread, ehh, a few minutes ago.
It makes a lot of sense http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/jus...C_thinking.gif
It makes sense, but I don't like it all the time...
Eh, such is life.
80-90% of the quotes on the last 5 pages on this thread feel like gimmicks; like something someone forged on the spot and pawned off as either a) original b) relevant or c) impacting.
What happened to the good ones?
:puke:
Perhaps you would be so kind to illuminate us by :puke:ing some of your good ones?
There are two things that I am sure of...
1) There is a God,
2) I'm not Him...
The best quotes from this thread are as follows: best not from a subjective standpoint but for their relevance, meaning, and timelessness.

P.S. This isn't me becoming an iconoclast of a thread I've participated in; it's me stating a truth that this thread has produced few memorable quotes for it's length. If I can't find more than a handful of quotes of the nigh-on 150 posts, what does that say about what we're producing.
My previous post shows our moments of brilliance. Everything else has been a high-school pep rally. 10 pages of relative disappointment show that.
There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count and those who can't...
Interesting calculation Bien :)
:( I didn't get any. I likey my dears Maxi's though. :thumbs_upQuote:

Hehe. Thankyou. I love that. Wonderful in an arguement.Quote:

Oh, alright, since the swarming masses demanded it, here are three pithy sayings I've come up with:
- According to spelling conventions, the word law could be spelled L-A-U-G-H.
- I have a lot in common with my parents: what I didn't get genetically was passed down through will.
- Dear Mr. Sandburg, the fog does not have feet.
That last one is really, truly a poem-letter to Carl Sandburg. Oddly enough, he never wrote back. :D
Henry David Thoreau once said that "It's not my duty to make the world I live in a better place or a worse one. It is my goal to live in it."
Along those rough lines.
Most logical words ever said.
