Someday I expect to see a photo from cyber space with our lost emails cluttering it up -
glittery little specs floating around like an electron Milky Way!

I’m Gonna Shine
I’m gonna shine today,
I’m gonna shine.
I’m gonna shine today,
Right down the line.
I’m all dressed up today and feeling fine.
When the Moon goes down and the Sun comes up,
I’m gonna shine.
I’m gonna shake my head…
I’m gonna touch my nose to my toes…
I’m gonna sing…
I’m gonna shine..

Subject: Steven Wright
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he is the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind sees things differently than most of us do, to our amazement and amusement.
Here are some of his gems:
01 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
02 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.
03 - Half the people you know are below average.
04 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
05 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
06 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
07 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
08 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
09 - All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.
10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the
cheese.
11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend . . . but she left me before we
met.
12 - Okay, so what's the speed of dark?
13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.
19 - I intend to live forever . . so far, so good.
20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the
bread.
29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many
is research.
30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to
be on it.
33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
And an all time favorite -
34 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your
headlights work?

|
Everything is Wonderful
My face in the mirror
Isn't wrinkled or drawn.
My house isn't dirty,
The cobwebs are gone.
My garden looks lovely
And so does my lawn.
I think I might never
Put my glasses back on.

Found these in my files. Take what you need.
'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep.
Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.
The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.
I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.
If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.
One thing I can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless ' I ' do.
My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

From my daily Story People offering....
Scary Mirror
You'll have to tell me over the phone, she said. I checked with my mirror & it told me I was too scary to go out today.

We have a quick fire poet most days in chat.
She just types them where she is at!
Here is one just put down...
Hope she did not spill the brown.
sockenfussel:
the blackest dark and hot elixir
runs through my so mortal veins,
leaving on my kitchen table circular and dark-brown stains.

One more chat quote from sockenfussel:
"oooh coffee, sweetest of my potions, I pour your life into my cup, at morning you give me the motion, without your smell I can't stay up..."
She said it was spontaneous. Imagine what she must be capable of in her first language...

a quote so perfect for SST members.
I have heard some beautiful notes in my life, she said, but they were nothing without the rest of the music, too.

Good quotes get harder and harder to find. This one came across my screen and wow it says a lot.
Writer Gary Jennings said this:
"Love and time, those are the only
two things in all the world and all of life, that cannot be bought,
but only spent.

Not so much a quote, as something to make you say Hmmmm????
Lovers of the English language enjoy this.
It is an example of why people learning English have trouble.
Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language.
******************************************************
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP’. It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand 'UP’, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake 'UP’?
At a meeting, why does a topic come 'UP’? Why do we speak 'UP’, and why are the officers 'UP’ for election and why is it 'UP’ to the secretary to write 'UP’ a report? We call 'UP’ our friends, brighten 'UP’ a room, polish 'UP’ the silver, warm'UP’ the leftovers and clean 'UP’ the kitchen. We lock 'UP’ the house and fix 'UP’ the old car.
At other times this little word has real special meaning. People stir 'UP’ trouble, line 'UP’ for tickets, work 'UP’ an appetite, and think 'UP’ excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed 'UP’ is special.
And this 'UP’ is confusing: A drain must be opened 'UP’ because it is stopped 'UP’.
We open 'UP’ a store in the morning but we close it 'UP’ at night. We seem to be pretty mixed 'UP’ about 'UP’ !
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of 'UP’, look 'UP’ the word 'UP’ in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes 'UP’ almost 1/4 of the page and can add 'UP’ to about thirty definitions
If you are 'UP’ to it, you might try building 'UP’ a list of the many ways 'UP’ is used. It will take 'UP’ a lot of your time, but if you don't give 'UP’, you may wind 'UP’ with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding 'UP’ . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing 'UP’. When it rains, it soaks 'UP’ the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry 'UP’. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it 'UP’, for now ........my time is 'UP’ !
Oh...one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?
U P! Now, I'll hush 'UP’ …

These are some movie quotes that the public thinks they heard one way but appears we did not. Now do not argue with me, I just found them as this are here.
We all love film quotations but some of the most famous ones are actually misquotes of the original. This is a list of the top 15 film misquotes.
1. Dracula
Misquote: I want to suck your blood!
This quote, usually attributed to Bela Lugosi who played Dracula in 1931, was actually never spoken by Lugosi. However, it was used for humor in Tim Burton’s 1994 Ed Wood. Muahaha!
2. Frankenstein
Misquote: He’s Alive!
The actual phrase used is “It’s Alive”. This is true of both the original 1931 film and the comedy version in 1974 starring Gene Wilder.
3. Cagney
Misquote: You dirty rat!
Attributed to James Cagney, he never said this line in a movie. The closest he ever came to saying this phrase was “Mmm, that dirty, double-crossin’ rat”, in the 1931 Blonde Crazy.
4. Tarzan
Misquote: Me Tarzan, you Jane!
As believable as it seems, this line was not spoken in the 1932 film Tarzan, the Ape Man. Here is what was actually said:
Jane: (pointing to herself) Jane.
Tarzan: (he points at her) Jane.
Jane: And you? (she points at him) You?
Tarzan: (stabbing himself proudly in the chest) Tarzan, Tarzan.
Jane: (emphasizing his correct response) Tarzan.
Tarzan: (poking back and forth each time) Jane. Tarzan. Jane. Tarzan…
Ah, such eloquence!
Listen to the original
5. Darling Buds of Mae
Misquote: Come up and see me sometime.
Close but not close enough. What Mae West actually said in She Done Him Wrong (1933) was “Why don’t you come up sometime ‘n see me?”
6. Bengal Lancer
Misquote: “We have ways of making you talk.”
This is allegedly from the 1935 film Lives of a Bengal Lancer. The actual statement was “We have ways of making men talk.”
7. Snow White
Misquote: “mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
This is an incorrect quotation. In Disney’s animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the wicked Queen asked: “Magic Mirror on the Wall, who is the Fairest one of all?”
8. Elementary
Misquote: “Elementary, my dear Watson!”
This is a big misquote – because Sherlock Holmes never said it – at least not in any of the books! This quote was rather found in a film review in the New York Times on October 19, 1929. It became popularized only after its trademark use in The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1929) (the first Holmes film with sound), with Clive Brook and H. Reeves-Smith.
9. Casablanca
Misquote: “Play it again, Sam”
This is often believed to have been said by Bogart in Casablanca. In fact, he closest Bogart came to the phrase was this: “You played it for her, you can play it for me…If she can stand it, I can. Play it!” Interestingly, Ingrid Bergman’s character comes closest when she says: “Play it, Sam.”
Listen to the original
10. White Heat!
Misquote: “Top of the world, Ma!”
Nope, before the tank explodes, James Cagney, in white heat, actually says: “Made it, Ma. Top of the world!”
Listen to the original
11. Star Wars
Misquote: May the Force be With You
This quote is wrongly attributed to Obi Wan Kenobi who actually said: “The Force will be with you…always”, and “Remember, the Force will be with you…always”. Han Solo, on the other hand, did say this at one point in the film.
Listen to the original
12. Star Trek
Misquote: “Beam me up, Scotty!”
This line was never uttered by Captain Kirk in Star Trek. The closest he ever came was “Scotty, beam me up”.
Listen to the original
13. Forrest Gump
Misquote: “My mama always said, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Okay – it is a minor point, but he actually says “Life was like a box of chocolates.”
Listen to the original
14. Apollo 13
Misquote: “Houston, we have a problem.”
Also sometimes misquoted as: “Houston, we’ve got a problem.” Both are wrong. The correct historical phrase was: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
15. Badges
Misquote: “Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!”
In its original form in director John Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), it was actually: “Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badges!”
Bonus: Star Wars
Misquote: “Luke, I am your father”
Commonly believed to have been said by Darth Vader, this quote did not actually occur at all. The actual quote was “No, I am your father” and it was not even delivered on camera – it was dubbed in later; what was originally said on camera was “Obi-Wan killed your father”.
