So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie..

NUance's Notes:

==================================================

NOTE: Since we lost the "Notes" section of our account in the last board upgrade I am using this space to keep misc HB reference stuff--things like quotes I want to remember, urls, and other misc junk I might use:

Dear Lord, the battles we go through life,

We ask for a chance that's fair

A chance to equal our stride,

A chance to do or dare

If we should win, let it be by the code,

Faith and Honor held high

If we should lose, we'll stand by the road,

And cheer as the winners go by

Day by Day, we get better and better!

Til' we can't be beat...

WON'T BE BEAT!

"Hey, you know I'd never let anything happen to your bacon. I love you Santa Claus." ——Archer

==================================================

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ——Theodore Roosevelt

==================================================

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,

And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:

And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,

And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still! ——Lord Byron(Pam's back ink)

==================================================

Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare; To-morrow's Silence, Triumph, or Despair: Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where. ——Omar Khayyam

==================================================

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

——Prov. 9:10 (KJV)

The LORD is my light and my salvation——whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life——of whom shall I be afraid?

——Psalms 27:1 (NIV)

==================================================

Pulp Fiction version of Ezekiel 25:17:

Jules: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." [As told by Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules (note: Only the last couple sentences is really from the Bible though.)]
