This one could have been written for me.  George Bernard Shaw, in I forget which play, described a character thusly:


"He never breaks the law, but whenever he does something, legislation is necessary to stop him from doing it again."

"I'm looking for someone who compliments my existence, not drains it"


"He who hath die once and wakes, shall at some time die again"

OK, but in the case you're using, it should be "complement."  with an "e" there.


OK, my fave quote from Oscar..."we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Yeah I toyed with that but it didn't look right and when I went to an online dict and did a sentence check it came of with an 'I".  That's goes with the whole tomato thing.

"A man's got to believe in something...I believe I'll have another drink."  by that famous person, Anonymous.


you've managed to confuse me totally (not that difficult, really!) with the tomato thing.  throwing rotten ones at me when i'm publicly speaking i can understand, but this is not computing.  btw, those are nice original lines, ya!

i already quit picking on your spelling...i've moved on to questioning your taste in online friends, meaning me.


i'm teaching first aid/CPR today, and it reminded me of a scene from "the Cocoanuts," where a guest collapses in the hotel lobby, and Groucho, pretending to be the new owner of the place, holds the guy's wrist and looks at his own, and says "he's either dead or my watch has stopped."

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock.  You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance.  That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.  ~Earl Weaver<!--CB-->

Ursula K., daughter of Alfred and Theodora Kroeber...impressive.  Ishi would be pleased.


"I'm not like other guys."  - Michael Jackson in the Thriller video.  Duh, Mikey, we figured that one out a long time ago...a cool female comic, forget which one, once said that Liz Taylor would defend MJ even if small boys were hanging out of his underpants.
