• ""I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching." Ralph Waldo Emerson "Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is." Josey Wales "Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine." Elvis "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before." Mae West “Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.” George W. Bush "The problem with socialism is that eventually you start running out of other people's money". Margaret Thatcher And from your humble correspondent, Fast Eddie: "If the thing's too loud..you're too old." "Run with the big dogs..or stay on the porch." "What do you mean, 'Can you fly it?'. Baby, I can fly the crate that thing came in!""
