"When guns are outlawed only the Government will have guns,
And a few old outlaws like me." Edward Abbey

"The Governments job is to guard the coast, tote the mail, and stay the hell out of everything else."
A quote from a Southern gentleman I once heard

"Aintry??? This river don't go to Aintry..."
Deliverance

And a line I heard on Youtube from the Bluegrass group Hayseed Dixie while playing an AC/DC tribute show in Scotland.
Referencing the film Deliverance, he said that movie made Georgia boys like him look bad to the world. He then said, "No..No...Not for why you think..I am telling you I killed a buck this year 300 yards across a beanfield so I am dang sure I could hit Ned Beatty's fat ass in a canoe from 50 or so!!! That movie gave the impression us Crackers can't shoot."
I about bust a gut.:D

Motto

Paraphrasing from "The Wild Bunch":
"Kiss my little sisters black cats a**"
Always loved that one.
 
"When slowing down won't help , POUR IT ON !" - Han Solo

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
Benjamin Franklin
 
In our family, this was uttered in response to a question posed to our two-year-old daughter:

"I can't know!"

Beware of what you set your heart upon, for it will surely be yours.

My take on the current administration in Washington:

"Seldom right, but never in doubt."

"If you can't beat 'em with logic, baffle 'em with bull."

"Sir Winston, you are drunk." Reply: "Yes, madam, but in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly."

And Winston Churchill, always grammatically correct:

"That is something up with which I will not put."
-------------------------------------------------------------
In England everything is permitted except that which is forbidden.
In Germany everything is forbidden except that which is permitted.
In France, everything is permitted even though it is forbidden.
In Russia, everything is forbidden even though it is permitted.

From my uncle:

"Someone once told me you weren't fit to eat with the pigs. But I stuck up for you. I said you were."
------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, another one attributed to Winston Churchill:

"I like pigs. Cats look down on people, and dogs look up to people, but pigs treat us as equals."

"There's no 'i' in 'team' ".

Yeah, but there's two of 'em in idiot.

There may be no "I" in team but there is a "me" in team. ;D

My kids say the family motto is "Where there's a whip there's a way", but they get that from an early Lord of the Rings movie.
 
I kind of like the one I use for my Motorcycle e-mails

"The properly set up GL1800 is a crotch rocket with storage bags.
It is a joy to own, ride and can be the path to many good times and new friends.
The best bike ever made, for youngsters or old farts it is the avenue to a good time."

Reading these posts has been quite a journey. A few favorites of mine...

"Neurosis is always a failure to experience legitimate suffering." Carl Jung

"Only accurate guns are interesting." Elmer Keith (I think!)

"It is what it is." A vastly underappreciated philosopher

"Freedom not only requires us to bear responsibility for our life choices, but also posits that change requires an act of will." Irvin Yalom

"To be nobody-but-myself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." E.E. Cummings

"If people spent as much time changing as they spent trying not to change, they'd have damned well changed by now." Me
 
Roundgunner, your post reminded me of something yesterday. Probley nothing new to a navy guy like yourself, but I was in a old cowboy resturant here, came out of the restroom in a very narrow hallway. A old fat cowboy and I had to squeez by each other, and I couldnt help myself and said, "Guess this is what they call a naval engagement, huh?"
 
My friends dad once told me "Lord hates a coward" when I was contemplating some action or another. Used that for a good deal of my life; till I found out the rest of the saying was "...but loves a fool."
