And it's not "MONEY is the root of all evil", but the Bible says............."For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil!" <--- GAMBLING!

Do you understand what a college football message board is?

Shout out to @judgesmails. Your posts are really all ridiculous in this place. Google Reddit, and go there for **** like this.
Wait. How is @judgesmails a member here since 2016?

This is from “The Best and the Brightest,” said to Walt Rostow. This quote has had quite an influence on how I represent my views. I am very careful about what I say and how I phrase it.

“Oh, for God’s sake, Walt, why are you talking about something you know nothing about?”

This helps me appreciate opposing and/or confusing perspectives:

One person started a thread that generated some really cool responses.

One person thinks this is a college football message board.

One if those people is a fool....I'll let you guess which one.

Told this to sons 1&2 everyday before they got on the bus when they were yutes

Thanks for this, Rick. I had forgotten this quote. Your sons sound to be really good people.

"All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice."

Couldn’t ask for more but honestly I’m not a complainer :)
when they finally saw the movie they laughed and laughed. Same thing when they heard “teacher” for the first time cause no matter if it fit the conversation or not, I always said “I don’t feel tardy” both sons say that all the time to this day

I absolutely hate this one. The epitome of stupidity, unless you recognize that not every reason is a good one.

I believe your last sentence proves my point! Not every decision is a good one. We are not perfect. Thus, the RESULT of your "bad decision" happened to teach you a lesson. What's so hard about that!

Yogi Berra:

1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

2. You can observe a lot by just watching.

3. It ain’t over till it’s over.

4. It’s like déjà vu all over again.

5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

6. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.

7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.

8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.

9. We made too many wrong mistakes.

10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.

13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

14. Never answer an anonymous letter.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

I have two:

" When I was 16, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But by the time I turned 21 I was impressed with how much the old man learned in five years" Mark Twain. (Quote may not be exact )

" There is not such thing as bad beer, some just taste better than others and if it is free beer, there is no better tasting." My Dad

And a third because I can not count

"Sex is like pizza, when it is good it is really good and when it is bad......it's still pretty good!" That was from some comedian I saw on an HBO special back in the 80's. Ironically I was watching it with my girlfriend at the time and we were eating pizza and having a few beers. I think that line helped turn my pretty good night into a really good night. I think the comedians name was The Amazing Jonathan.

I was in love with a beautiful blonde once. She drove me to drink. That’s the only thing I’m indebted to her for.
While traveling through Afghanistan, I lost my corkscrew and had to survive on food and water for several days.
Id rather have two girls at 21 each than one girl at 42.
