Quotable Quotes - the best You've Read ...

Sometimes I read a post, kick back and think well said ...

I am not sure it is isolated to certain communities around the world, but individuals within communities, the usual shout of Isaan, goes up like a clarion call of slip fielders in the hope of getting a group "like", however there isn't much wrong with a request, no matter how close the society. What I find even more disturbing, is that you cannot ask a neighbour for a glass of milk, society going forward like a collapsed scrum on continuous loop.

Only one request ... don't post your own words!

Quote i recently saw , about food , contained the line that the dish had "a suspicion of cracked black pepper". SUPERB.

Quite a few years ago there was an article in the Pattaya Weekly Mail about someone apprehended by the police. The newspaper pointed out that the miscreant would likely face a lengthy period of "penile servitude."

I suppose, depending on his cell mate(s), that might be an apt prediction.

And then there's this:

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
- Socrates

I liked this recent one for StreetCowboy ...

I think McDonalds represents American culture - mass production, consumerism, the power of big business and consistency across the country and the world. It's the coca cola of restaurants.

"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not"

Not only was Albert Einstein clever at maths & formulas, he was also highly intelligent as the last couple of posts show. I would call him a man who based his life on common sense, something that is greatly needed in most walks of life...................

Agree with OP, let's see what we enjoy in posts here on TV, since we can always import Billions from the net somewhere.

Have seen some amazing comments over the years, which made me actually truly laugh out loud (not only the emoticon).

One I never forget is in the thread "Massage In Bathrooms":

"endure" wrote: All you have to do is turn round and ask 'you boom boom long time?' while you whiz all over his shoe.

Written in a current thread about a elderly man robbed ...

Blaming the many victims for what's happening here is a bit like Nelson putting his telescope to his blind eye and saying "I see no ships".

Written in response to this OP ...

Looking for a Thai girl friend who is a genuine orphan no mum or dad, kids or any relatives what so ever early 40s O.K not fat, do any exist in in Thailand, they must be worth their weight in gold.

You'll be struggling to find an orphan who's dad owns a brewery...

Written in response to this OP ...

My Issan ex (height 145cm), called me today from 'home' with some concern. Apparently, several people in her village have told her that when they look at her, they cannot see her head!

Quick, get her to a go-go bar and photograph her. Then you can rewrite the famous NY Post headline: Headless woman found in topless bar.

On a lighter note ...

The lil squirter at my 7/11 is absolutely gorgeous and would make for a fantastic addition to my marital work bench, sadly the missus tell me she is not a lesbian so am trying to come up with a work around for this.

Watching a snooker match on tv in the early seventies....quote......."I believe he will try to pot the brown, for those of you with black and white television it is the one nearest the blue"

I remember Chris Rock said that 'Women can't go back in terms of lifestyle and men can't go backwards in terms of sex' .. I actually think that's pretty astute

Oh my! Your posting style reminds me of a 7 watt light globe. Not terribly bright and it struggles to achieve any purpose.

The ones that make me smile in the news threads are where somebody posts " Thats your opinion. The fact is....." and then proceeds to post their opinion.

This guy is a gift who keeps on giving ...

When I was told I was 'fat' I don't think the poster meant that I was a lump of congealed cooking waste.
