My favorite quote: ♥√♣
A close runner-up by Frankfort Moore (which rings very true, right now) is, “There is no stronger bond of friendship than a mutual enemy.“
What’s one of your favorite quotes?
Unrelated Update on 3/26: Something I’ve been negotiating for several months, just came to fruition. At the end of the interaction, my income tripled; just like that! It would make a great blog entry, but I need to think about whether it’s a good thing to share beyond general details. Now for some ad lib fun: Click to read a random entry.

Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s wrong with my blog. I deleted the new items that I added to my blogroll and it was still messed up so then I put them back. Maybe it’s a sign that I need to change things up a bit.
Have I mentioned lately that I would like to win the lottery?
Steve says, “WordPress support is really good with technical stuff….I want to win the lottery too!”

From “Mommy Dearest“: Don’t f#ck with me fellas. This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.
Steve says, “OMG, that’s one of the best one-liners ever! And if I can’t get to bed soon, I’m gonna be like Mommie Dearest!”

I was gonna add one of my faves, but Rod beat me to it. And I didn’t realize that was a Dorothy Parker quote.
Here are two from my files:
Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. -Anon.

the two I have on my blog:
Bette Davis: “If everybody likes you, you’re doing something wrong”
and
Francine Fishpaw (Divine): “My life is a long dark highway, full of endless tollbooths and no exits”
Steve says, “Bette Davis had some great quotes! And Divine, well that’s just classic.”

Hey Steve…
How about Limmericks? My favorite:
There was a young man from Purdue
who said he had nothing to do!
So he took out his carrot,
and buggered his parrot
and sent the result to the zoo!
I’ve got a million of ‘em!
northsdad (PS – Delete if you find in-appropriate… but I love limmericks!
Steve says, “Limericks are always fun! Although, I’m not sure I know any, by memory!”

Even if you’re on the right track you’ll get ran over if you don’t keep moving. and a limerick:
A Canner uncanningly canny, one day replied to his Granny, “A Canner can can anything that he can” But a canner can’t can a can, can he?

Steve says, “I’ve always loved that Emerson quote!”

the actual dorothy parker quote is “horticulture,” not “whore to culture.” it’s a pun, see?
Steve says, “I forgot about this post until you commented. Thanks for visiting.”
