"I'm lost as a rat turd in a bowl of burnt rice"

Been saying it for years, dont know if I heard or thought it...but its a good one.

I was known for saying " Hey, don't f around"

When dealing with teenage work study students in the shop.Now I running the apprentice program where I work now and am dealing with another screw up that doesn't show up.Kids have no work ethic these days, it's a reflection in their millennial parents. Which brings me to this quote that I don't remember who said it .might be from Ferris Buellers Day Off
" I weep for the future"

“Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.”

Socrates, circa 470BC

As a very young boy, my grandmother once told me: "Life is One Damned Thing After Another..."

That was almost 60 years ago.
(and she was right)

Was never a fan of his. A little whiny. But, those are wise words.

Keep the rifle muzzles pointed down!

"If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking!" General George S. Patton.

WW2. The Battle of Bastogne. The 101st Airborne was outnumbered by the Germans. The Germans offered them an honorable surrender. General McCauliffe simply said, "NUTS"! The 101st dug in and waited for the 4th Armored to get into the fight. This was the Battle of the Bulge! The battle that led to the push to Berlin.

I like that, unstarted. I’ve had that happen, but not in a helicopter, so far, cross my fingers. It has happened to me out 4 wheeling though, in a tough place. Youth, brute force and perseverance got us through. It’s good to have a good shot of adrenaline every once in awhile to keep us on our toes!

I hear you on that. He only drove a Ford for one year if I remember correctly. I did think the quote was a good one though.

As a conservative Ford guy, I always liked Mark Martin. The King had history and personality, so he was hard to root against.

I don't watch it like I did 20+ years ago. People change I guess. Still driving a Ford though! 🇺🇲#1

"the guy couldn't find gold in a jewelry store"
Parker Schnabel on Todd Hoffman.

"We're entirely surrounded.” “Those poor bastards,” Puller said. “They've got us right where we want 'em. We can shoot in every direction now. We've been looking for the enemy for several days now."

I don't quote Marines, too often. Just professional competitiveness. We all get along, but we do bust them on each other. Each branch has their purpose and it usually works under the right command. But, Chesty was an exceptional warrior, and I commend him for his service! Hoorrraaahhh!

Some of the best quotes come from military personnel. Most have no filter.

“No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.” - General George S. Patton

The Patton Estate is about 15 minutes from my house. There is a Sherman Tank on the property and a statue of the General.

I was a Mark Martin fan too! Anyone team Roush too.
I just didn't care for Earnhardts "style" of racing. And then he blamed everyone else when he didn't win. I thought it was sad how his last wreck happened. No need, his drivers would have still got 1st & 2nd. But, I did root for Jr, even though he never drove a Ford. But, Earnhardt is a big name in racing. So is Petty. Lots of respect for them for that.

He also said "Rubbin' is Racing". We know how that worked out for him. (Sorry, this is in poor taste)
