Quarryman Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Yeah, some of those quotes were really cool. Here's one lyric I've always liked. Points for the one who guesses where it's from.Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me. Serenity :-) Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, quote them, disagree with them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." Apple Think Different Campaign, ~1997.

Norrington Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Lol! Awesome *y* . Put the video on YouTube :-P . I would, but he made the video on an older, non-digital camera. Plus, I doubt he would let me. He's the kind of person who would worry because Star Wars is copyrighted... :-| Quote

Corvus Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) My grandpa likes to send me funny quotes on emails, so... Ah, pilot conversations! Who knew they had a sense of humor? I won't put all of 'em in at once, that might take a bit of space... Tower: "TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees." TWA 2341: "Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?" Tower: "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727? O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound." United 329: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight." The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign: Speedbird 206. Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! Clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land." ( X-O ... That's just mean) While taxiing at London 's Gatwick Airport , the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!" Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?" "Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?" A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich , overheard the following: Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?" Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany . Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!" Edited June 8, 2007 by Mr. Mandalorian Quote

iamded Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Before you ridicule someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you ridicule them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes. I always loved that one. Here's some more. There's no 'I' in team. But there is in 'pie'. And there's meat in pie. And 'meat' is an anagram of 'team', sooo... And so, like pawns in a game of checkers, the house of cards fall like dominos. Checkmate. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. All in all we're just another brick in the wall. Sound of the drumsBeatin' in my heart The thunder of guns Tears me apart You've been... Thunderstruck!! Heh, I like that song. :-P Edited June 20, 2007 by iamded Quote

Lemme see... Ahh... Yellow Submarine (Animated film, starring the beatles, BTW I have this on DVD) Old Fred: Oh! Frankenstein! Ringo: Yeah, I used to go out with his sister. Old Fred: His sister? Ringo: Yeah, Phyllis. Paul: Look, it's a school of whales. Ringo: They look a little bit old for school. Paul: University then. Ringo: University of whales. John: They look like drop-outs to me. John: Break the glass. George: We can't! Paul: It's Beatle-proof. John: Nothing is Beatle-proof! <- Favorite! [Ringo picks up a hole and puts it in his pocket] Ringo: I've got a hole in my pocket. <- LOL! Old Fred: Help! Help! Help! Ringo: No thanks, don't need any. Old Fred: All right then. Let's get this vessel shipshape. Ringo: I kind of like it the way it is. Submarine shape. Edited June 17, 2007 by Stauder@55 Quote

oo7 Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 And you need to drop the condescending attitude towards one of your peers...kid |-/ A. Both had frivolous connotations, hence the ':-P' emotion, and he knew that too. B. He was blatantly spamming; I have every right to subtlety denote his attitude as inadmirable. C. Peer? Across three thousand miles of Atlantic ocean? X-D Anyway, please remember to only make constructive posts, Stauder. It will make all of us happier. *y* Quote
Norrington Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 C. Peer? Across three thousand miles of Atlantic ocean? X-D Across the Atlantic he may be, but he is still your peer at EuroBricks. Now, some silly qoutes I love: "I am a nobody,and nobody is perfect. Therefore, I must be perfect!" "Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to." "All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand." "A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory." "The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. " "When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane." "If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?" "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." "Constipated People Don't Give A crap!" "Guys: No Shirt, No Service. Gals: No Shirt, No Charge" "POLITICIANS & DIAPERS BOTH NEED TO BE CHANGED, AND FOR THE SAME REASON" "Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license." "Birdie, birdie, in the sky, why'd you do that in my eye? Looks like sugar, tastes like sap. OMG! IT'S BIRDIE CRAP!" "Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gurgle." "When they put unknown at the end of a quote, that means they probably don't no how to spell anonymous" -unknown "They misunderestimated me!" -George W. Bush" "I tried sniffing coke once, but the ice cubes stuck in my nose" ;-) enjoy. Quote
Corvus Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." I really dislike that quote. |-/ However, weasels do get eaten by eagles. "Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gurgle." And some drown! Quote
Aredhel Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 One of my favourite quotes is the one in my signature: "Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams And some others I just LOVE are from Captain Jack Sparrow :-P Well this is a whole scene now: ____________________________________________________________________________ ... Jack: "It is a drawing of a key. Gentlemen, what do keys do?" Indian Pirate: "Keys unlock things?" Gibbs: " And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable. So we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks." Jack: "No. ... We don't have the key, we can't open whatever we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?" Gibbs: " So we're going after this key." Jack: " You're not making any sense at all. Any more questions?" ... " so we have a heading?" Jack: " A heading. Set sail in a ... general... that-way direction..." That scene is really hilarious. Its from Dead Man's Chest btw! ________________________________________________________________________________ "Savvy?" -Aredhel Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 If I had to pick only one it would be this tiny little phrase said on the WLS Radio in Chicago, on may 6 1937 by the journalist Herb Morrison Oh, the Humanity! 3 brilliant words describing the Hindenburg tragedy. 3 dreadfull words that became such a classic of even comedy !! I just thought of it because I heard it twice in 2 days on Seinfeld and South Park !! When you hear these 3 words, think of me :-P *yoda* Quote
