Title: Name That Quote
Post by: LostDwarf on April 07, 2003, 07:48:13 pm

Here's how this works, someone posts a quote, i'll start and then the first person to guess the quote correctly by either song, artist, or person gets to make the next quote, i'll start

"she's as fine as dandilions blowing in the wind"

This one is VERY easy, and please try to mix up the quotes so they're not from the same person, or topic

good luck

Mike

What a great f'in thread!

Ummm that one is either Socrates (pronounce SO-CRATES, for the other bill and ted fan out there) or it's Aristotle.  I can never remember which one.

It's not Plato.  He was always the different one.  His teacher and student seemed to agree with eachother.  Kinda like alcoholism, it skips a generation  :wink:

Ok, heres a fun one
