Man alive, that oversized avatar is actually kinda cool in an obnoxious way. Very modern art. But yeah, I guess I should resize it or something. Perhaps even set a size limit for uploads. What a concept.
And hey, I remember you! It's nice seeing you here. You were one of the better posters on said site. Stick around, why don't you.

Re: Your Favorite Quotes, v2
Yogi Berra could have his own thread. Comedy gold. Some of my favorites:
“It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much.”
“95% of this game is half mental.”
“A nickel isn't worth a dime today.”
“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.”
“I wish I had an answer to that, because I'm tired of answering that question”
“You can observe a lot just by watching."
“The future ain't what it used to be.”

“Education is the period during which I was being instructed by somebody I did not know, about something I did not want to know.”
“Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.”
“Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.”
“People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make”
“All that we call spirit and art and ecstacy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forgot.”
“Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity.”
-G.K. Chesterton
What a fucking boss.

Re: Your Favorite Quotes, v2
"I train like I'm training for the Olympics or for a Mr. America contest, the way I've always trained my whole life. You see, life is a battlefield. Life is survival of the fittest. How many healthy people do you know? How many happy people do you know? Think about it. People work at dying, they don't work at living. My workout is my obligation to life. It's my tranquilizer. It's part of the way I tell the truth — and telling the truth is what's kept me going all these years."
"Living is a pain in the butt. Dying is easy. It's like an athletic event. You've got to train for it. You've got to eat right. You've got to exercise. Your health account, your bank account, they're the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out. Exercise is king and nutrition is queen: together, you have a kingdom."
"I'd hate to die; it would ruin my image."
-Jack LaLanne

Re: Your Favorite Quotes, v2
"I've said it a million times, but it really is true: the difference in a good song and a great song, to me, is the difference in a good book and a good movie. They're both telling you the same story. They both have the same outcome. But whereas the movie is telling you exactly what to see and be heard, the book lets you see whatever your mind comes up with. And it makes it a lot more applicable to your life in a lot of ways."
-Brad Arnold
"Every time I see a television show that has dying children or see a testimonial by a parent who recently lost their child I can’t help but cry. The thought of losing my baby haunts me every day. I'm even a bit unnerved to take her in the car in fear of getting into an accident. I swear that if I ever find myself in a similar situation than you’ve been in, i.e. the divorce, I will fight to my death to keep the right to provide for my child. I’ll go out of my way to remind her that I love her more than I love myself. Not because it’s a fathers duty but because I want to out of love."
-Kurt Cobain, unsent letter to his father
I feel kind of guilty when I read Kurt's diaries. I get the feeling of "Hmm, this really wasn't meant for me. I should respect his privacy a bit more." Still, I found that passage moving. He was such a sweet, sensitive guy in his own bitter, tortured way.
