We need quotes!





Hey I want to keep changing the opening epigram at the top of the blog and I am open to suggestions.

I was thinking of putting up a joke or a witticism or something.

Your suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

"He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots, too. Lorraine, if you ever have a kid that acts that way, I'll disown you." Lorraine McFly's father in BTTF.

Biff Tannen: Hello? Hello? Anyone home, huh? Think, McFly! Think!

Yeah, I watched the BTTF trilogy recently, it holds up nicely.

"Rosebud"

“I have a slogan that should be blazoned on every newspaper in this country: America for the Americans! The government must not interfere with business! Reduce taxes! Our national debt is something shocking. Over one billion dollars a year! What this country needs is a businessman for president!” No idea what movie that is from, but there you go.

“- Hatfield: A gentleman doesn't smoke in the presence of a lady.
- Dr. Josiah Boone: Three weeks ago I took a bullet out of a man who was shot by a gentleman. The bullet was in his back!”

Ringo Kid "You might need me and this here Winchester, Curley."

Rufus T. Firefly: Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot. But don't let that fool you: he really is an idiot.

Rufus T. Firefly: Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did.

Rufus T. Firefly: I could dance with you til the cows come home. On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows til you came home.

That should hold you for a while.

Never apologize, mister. It's a sign of weakness.

I'm lookin' at a tin star with a drunk pinned on it.

The only good one is a dead one.

They pull a knife, you pull a gun. They send one of yours to the hospital, you sent one of theirs to the morgue.

You know the difference between money and glory? When you die, you get to take glory with you
