Ralph Waldo Emerson and Socrates and a whole bunch of idiots between them, are still remembered by the great things they said. Things make make you say "Hmmm, that's very wise."
Well I happen to think the great minds on here can give them a run for their money, and be printed on calendars, probably in about 50 years or so....

Leave you wisdom below

Here's my first effort (and it really was an effort) to leave to future generations.

Don't watch anything from Ze while making crepes.

One of you is going to get burned. (ouch!)

I'm sorry... these aren't original... but they're so good!

On trying to show stubborn ignorant people the light:
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Same idea:
Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig has fun.

On the theme of children:
Better you should raise pigs. At least you can eat them.

Ah yes, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long- a solid source for pearls.

Never appeal to a man's "better nature". He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

Or one of my favorites...

Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

Never ever kiss a turtle.

Holy Monkey!

Get your friends to do the slug-licking for you.

One I was reminded of this morning:
Don't drink orange juice right after you brush your teeth.

On a similar note:
Lemonade and chocolate don't mix.

dinzdale · 10-14-2002, 12:38 PM

salt and sugar may look similar, but one tastes revolting in coffee.

Frieda · 10-14-2002, 02:56 PM

a lot of things taste revolting in coffee.

bealeblues · 10-14-2002, 02:58 PM

i think coffee does a good job at being revolting all on its own....

Frieda · 10-14-2002, 03:05 PM

i drink it with a lot of sugar. a *lot* of sugar

Enqrypzion · 10-14-2002, 03:14 PM

you're right, coffee is able to be very revolting at times.. most times.. close to all times, except there ain't no coffe sometimes.. most times..
I wonder though, would coffe be good at playing Re-Volt? it might, you know, being revolting and all..

dinzdale · 10-14-2002, 03:32 PM

Many years from now, when they ask me all about it, I can look them in the eye and say:

"My addictions to caffeine, nicotine and alcohol were the only way I had of dealing with what we used to call reality. Now we know better, as they were in fact the only reality."

And they will say...."Wow!"

zenbabe · 10-14-2002, 03:51 PM

I think my reality check just bounced....
