Fifty Plus (50+) - Favorite signature lines?

What are your favorite signature lines on BFN? There are quite a few that get me to chuckle or even get me to think, but here's my personal all time favorite:

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard, by stonecrd. I just crack up every time I read it! :D

One of my favorites is from Nermal... I actually sent a PM to say that every time I see it I chuckle...

"Someday, we'll look back on all this and plow right into a parked car."

Another is a Groucho Marx quote, I forget who uses it (I'll try to remember to edit this when I notice it again)... something like:

"Thank you for the enjoyment you've taken out of it."

My favorite is Stapfam

Insanity is hereditary. You get it from the Kids

I have a couple of favorites, unfortunately I can not remember to whom the credit goes:

“I have a photographic memory....unfortunately I am out of film....”

“How do I know what I think until I hear what I say?”

“They're beautiful handsome machines that translate energy into joy.”

"Debating evolution's detractors is a waste of time. "... we've got the
fossils. We win."
Lewis Black

I liked DG's old "Ride. Eat pie. Repeat."

I've seen a corrollary to that one somewhere: Someone shoulda put more chlorine in his gene pool.

There are so many good ones that I rotate mine--all other peoples' words. Among my favorites:

You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough. -Mae West

A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding. -Marshall McLuhan

A comprehended god is no god. -John Chrysostom

Until we are all free, we are none of us free. -Emma Lazarus

Those are my principles and if you don't like them ...well, I have others. -Groucho Marx (or was it Karl?)

If you lack creativity (and I do)

http://coolsig.com/

"The opposite of war is creation".

My fave is Chipcom's:

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me."
- Emo Philips

still trying to think of one....

"Floyd did the ride, the French lab lied"

and of course
"Eat pie, ride, repeat"

Some time ago I used "I never let sound logic stand in the way of my plans".

Don't remember where that came from.

I don't have a sig on this forum, but I use this one on my personal e-mail:
I would rather regret what I did do than regret what I didn't do.

I think of it when I get jitters about doing solo bike tours in Europe. My two trips turned out great and I only regret that I didn't do more when I was younger. Hoping to get in 2 or 3 more while I am still in my 60s.

Don't let what you can't do, stop you from doing what you can do.

"...and on the 8th day, He created derailleurs."

Not bad. Not bad at all.

"I would rule the world, were it not for the facts."

"Why not?"

I liked DG's old "Ride. Eat pie. Repeat."

+1. I actually commissioned it onto a T-shirt.

An all-time favorite quote of mine is from Lee Trevino, "The older I get, the better I used to be."

And then there's the age old question: "If a man speaks in the forest and there is no women to hear him, is he still wrong?"

When the group encounters a long downhill and I'm the only "bent" I find it humorous to hollar out in my best Jim Carey voice, "Somebody Stop Me" as I blow past everyone. It must be annoying since no one has ever laughed.

My boss currently uses, "Reality is the main cause of stress among those who subscribe to it"

And I like the cerebral one "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien." from Voltaire.

(somebody stop me)

Not a sig line, but I used to have a T-shirt from St. Louis Recumbents with a picture of a bicycle seat on the back and underneath the pic, it said "Does it hurt, yet?"

That seems to apply to this forum a lot. :D

Somebody in the Commuter forum has this...

Work to eat
Eat to live
Live to ride
Ride to work

Now if you could ONLY explain why there hasn't been enough time since the earth was formed until now for chance mutations to have developed the extensive gene pool we presently see.

For all the pie-heads here I offer:

On Monte A Velo Por Manger

[We Ride to Eat]

--motto of the Stanislaus County Cycling Club

How much time is required?

Everyone should believe in something. I believe I will have another beer.:)

"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coinicidence? I think not!" Stephen Wright

"It's a small world, but I'm glad I don't have to paint it." - Stephen Wright

Mine.

Also CrossChain's:

"David, Happy Birthday! Ride carefully, this is your first two wheeler. I think you'll have a lot of fun on your new bike for a long time. Love, Dad." My birthday card, 1954.

Someone on the Road Bike forum has (or had) one that went something like:

"You say triples are for girls? Fine. When you're charging up the mountain with the guys I'll be back flirting with the girls."

My all time favorite was on a DIY audio/electronics forum (another hobby of mine):

"I convinced the canary to perch atop the St. Bernard. Now what do I use for a crossover?". (Woofers and tweeters...get it?)

"There's a fine line between fishing and insanity" - Stephen Wright

I guess you could add this one...

Work is for those who do not know how to cycle.

(no idea who to credit this to)

Another good one:

"Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?"

Someone here at BikeForums uses it, but I can't recall who it is. It always makes me chuckle.
