iamded Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Let's see... Women always worry about the things that men forget; men always worry about the things women remember. The things that come to those who wait are probably the things left by those who got there first. A compromise is an agreement in which both parties get what neither of them wanted. On the other hand, you have different fingers. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. What matters is whether I win or lose. Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. I intend to live forever. So far, so good. In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory. But in practice, there is. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. I started out with nothing and still have most of it left. If you can keep your head while people all around you are losing theirs, you probably don't understand the problem. Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men. Okay enough quotes from me. :-$ P.S. Okay, why is my html showing? Edited June 20, 2007 by iamded Quote

Corvus Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Some people have problems with snakes of the non-rubber variety. Now, before you start scratching your heads, let me explain. It's a lot funnier when you know the situation. During the summer, the High Desert Museum (bend, OR) has a show called Desert Dwellers, involving the birds of prey and reptiles of the area. This summer, however, has been a bit chilly. So, since the temperature was below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, we couldn't show the reptiles in the show. So we substistuted, with... rubber reptiles! :-D Just imagine, the staff, playing their part, saying "I think I've spotted one of the animals native to this area! I think it's a...*holds up fake reptile* "A rubber reptile! Isn't he amazing?" while trying not to crack up. :-D Quote
Corvus Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Either you had to be there, or we bird of prey volunteers (and staff) are just crazy... :'-( Then again, maybe you have to be crazy to be up early to be washing out mews with a hose when it's cold, rather than staying in our nice, warm bed... Quote

iamded Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) "73 percent of statistics are made up."- I can't remember where I got it but I shall quote away. That's in a 'wise cracks' book I have. 42.7 percent of statistics are made up on the spot. Research shows that fourteen out of ten people like chocolate. A recent survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75 per cent of the world's population. I like the 50-50-90 rule: Any time you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90 per cent probability you'll get it wrong. :-P Here's acouple more un-statistic related one. A fine is a tax for doing wrong.A tax is a fine for doing well. Borrow money from pessimists. They don't expect it back. :-D Edited June 29, 2007 by iamded Quote
Norrington Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 A few songs from Disney that I find interesting/ inspiring: "Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho A Pirate's Life for Me!" By Xavier Antencio and sung by George Burns and The Mello Men ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We kindle and char, inflame and ignite, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We burn up the city, we're really a fright, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We're rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We're beggars and blighters, ne'er-do-well cads, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. "Grim Grinning Ghosts" By Xavier Antencio, Buddy Baker, and sung by the Mello Men ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the crypt goes creak, And the tombstones quake. Spooks come out for a swinging wake. Happy haunts materialize, And begin to vocalize. Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize. Now don't close your eyes, And don't try to hide. Or a silly spook may sit by your side. Shrouded in a daft disguise, They pretend to terrorize. Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize. As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree, Spooks arrive for the midnight spree. Creepy creeps with eerie eyes, Start to shriek and harmonize. Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize. When you hear the knell of a requiem bell, Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell. Restless bones etherialize, Rise as spooks of every size. If you would like to join our jamboree, There's a simple rule that's compulsory. Mortals pay a token fee. Rest in peace, the haunting's free. So hurry back, we would like your company. "It's a Small World After All" By The Sherman Brothers, sung by some children's chorus, and played over and over again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's a world of laughter A world of tears It's a world of hopes And a world of fears There's so much that we share That it's time we're aware It's a small world after all There is just one moon And one golden sun And a smile means Friendship to ev'ryone Though the mountains divide And the oceans are wide It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small, small world The Scare-Crow of Romney Marsh by The Sherman Bothers (?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scarecrow! Scarecrow! The soldiers of the King feared his name. Scarecrow! On the southern coast of England, there's a legend people tell, Of days long ago when the great Scarecrow would ride from the jaws of Hell And laugh ... with a fiendish yell! With his clothes all torn and tattered, Through the black of night he'd ride, From the marsh to the coast like a demon ghost He'd show his face then hide *He'd rob the rich then hide* And he'd laugh ... till he split his side! Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* The soldiers of the King feared his name. Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* The country folk all loved him just the same. Scarecrow! He would always help the farmer, when there was no gold to bring, He'd find a way for the poor to pay the taxes of the King "Scarecrow!" - every man would sing! *With gold from a smuggler's ring!* So the King told all his soldiers, "Hang him high or hang him low, But never return till the day I learn He's gone in flames below (He rides in flames below) Or you'll hang - with the great Scarecrow!" Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* The soldiers of the King feared his name. Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* Scarecrow! *Scarecrow!* The country folk all loved him just the same. Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Scarecrow! *Demonic Laughter* Perhaps I'll post some other Disney Classics, like "When you wish opoun a star", "A dream is a wish your heart makes", and the "Ballad of Davy Crockett".

Athos Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 the "Ballad of Davy Crockett". Born on a mountain top in Tennessee; Greenest state in the land of the free; Raised in the woods 'til he knew every tree; Killed him a b'ar when he was only three; Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. He fought single handed through the Injun war; Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored; And while he was handling this risky chore; Made himself a legend, forevermore; Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear. When he lost his love, and his grief was gall; In his heart he wanted to leave it all; And lose himself in the forest tall; But he answered instead, his country's call; Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier He went off to Congress and served a spell; Fixin' up the government and laws as well; Took over Washington, so we hear tell; And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell; Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear. When he come home, his politickin' done; The western march had just begun; So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun; And lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun; Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneers. His land is biggest, and his land is best; From grassy plains to the mountain crest; He's ahead of us all in meeting the test; Followin' his legend right into the West; Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wide Frontier I think there may be some verses missing, particularly one about the Alamo... Steve, who thinks we need a Davy Crockett Lego theme... Quote
