"An eye for an eye will leave us all blind." -Gandhi "24-Hour Banking? I don't have time for that." -Steven Wright "The best mind altering drug is the truth"-Lily Tomlin It's not the people who vote that counts. It's the people who count votes. -- Stalin "Dreams are the eraser dust I blow off my page. They fade into the emptiness, another dark gray day. Dreams are memories of the plans I had back then. Dreams are eraser dust and now I use a pen." -Edgar Allen Poe “I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.” C. G. Jung
A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent. -Jerome Lawrence Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Buddha All Bill Hicks People say "Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world". Yeah, maybe, but you know what, after the first 3 largest armies, there's a REAL big f****ing drop-off. The Hare Krishna’s are the 5th largest army in the world, and they've already got all our airports. People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings in Fife, Alabama. I asked a guy, "Why do you bring a gun to a UFO sighting?" Guy said, "Way-ul, we didn' wanna be ab-duc-ted." If I lived in Fife, Alabama, I would be on my hands and knees every night praying for abduction. You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.-
Billy Connolly: The human race has been set up. Someone, somewhere, is playing a practical joke on us. Apparently, women need to feel loved to have sex. Men need to have sex to feel loved. How do we ever get started?”- Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on.”
- “I've always wanted to go to Switzerland to see what the army does with those wee red knives.”
- “My parents used to take me to the pet department and tell me it was a zoo.”
- I'm famous for my bottom dances, but you'll only see my bum and willy if you raise a million pounds within an hour.”
Maynard James Keenan - Living in a war-driven economy, we men are taught to distance ourselves from our emotions, to control them. Emotional men don’t make good soldiers. It’s difficult to suppress a supposed enemy if you’re armed with an M16 and empathy.
- "If I'd been ranting and raving for years, you wouldn't be listening to me right now."
Sherlock Holmes was prone to say, 'When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'

Ooh, good ones. I'm always jotting down cool quotes:"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible." -T.E. Lawrence "Those who are easily offended should be. And often." -G. Barnett "There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true." -Ian Hart "A hundred thousand lemmings can't be wrong." - Anonymous "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." - Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged |

I like that one "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."- Ralph Waldo Emerson and on that more: "When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car." -- Author Unknown "Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!" -- Golda Meir "It's great that we've got a compassionate conservative, but to me, that sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack." -- Robin Williams And if you have a really twisted sense of humor [as I do] you will find this funny "Hostility toward America is a religious duty, and we hope to be rewarded for it by God . . . . I am confident that Muslims will be able to end the legend of the so-called superpower that is America." Time Magazine Osama quoteIP: Logged |

My two favorites from both Node and Johnny. LOL!!!!!! Bill Hicks:
"People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings in Fife, Alabama. I asked a guy, "Why do you bring a gun to a UFO sighting?" Guy said, "Way-ul, we didn' wanna be ab-duc-ted." If I lived in Fife, Alabama, I would be on my hands and knees every night praying for abduction."
"There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true."
-Ian Hart Thanks for the laughs, Node and Johnny

All Steven Wright-Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect. - More quotations on: [Curiosity] Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. I bought some batteries, but they weren't included. I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it. I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place. I was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out. If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer? It doesn't make a difference what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature. It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it. Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died. Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my roommate, he said, 'Do I know you?' Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish. My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted. There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. What's another word for Thesaurus? When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, 'Did you sleep good?' I said 'No, I made a few mistakes IP: Logged |

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. IP: Logged | |
