pilgrim4JC Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Patrick Henry said, “sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the Holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force our enemy can send against us. Besides sir, we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of just nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave… Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” We need more men in politics like Patrick today. I'm so sick of the we can't whip them crowd so let's just come home and bury our heads in the sand. Quote Link to comment

+grueinthedark Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Stress is when you wakeup screaming and you realize you haven’t fallen asleep yet. (Unknown) as i walked along the supposed golden path I was trembling with fear all the lions and the wizards yet to come (Golden Path by The Chemical Brothers) Bob Porter: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately. Peter: I wouldn't say I've been 'missing' it Bob. (from the movie Office Space) I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said: "I drank what?" (From the movie Real Genius) Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes (from the movie Airplane II) My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

You, sir, get the bonus points! Added: My current signature is based on the "Geocaching" section of Patrolling with Sean Kennedy, season 1, episode 3. Prior to filming the episode, Sean came across a container that was part of a multi-cache and whose contents looked to be in pretty poor shape. Due to the condition of the cache, he decided to take it home and do some cache maintenance. He salvaged what paper items he could, re-printed the badly damaged cache note, and "WOG-laminated" it (he covered the front and back with clear packing tape, then trimmed off the excess). He then placed the salvaged paper items and smaller trades in a heavy Ziploc-type freezer bag, then placed the larger trades, Ziploc bag, and cache note in a spare ammo can, which he then labeled and returned to the cache site.
