A rolling stone gathers no moss.

...which reminds me, Keith Richards has a small part in the latest "Pirates Of The Caribbean" movie! (He looks like he could gather moss, though.)

You think!? Did his "small part" involve posing for the promo poster:

"...which reminds me,"
Oh, man! (Geez, Nice.) "Rolling Stone ---- moss --- Richards --- Pirates movie!!!"

Braling II, you really need a break.

Me? Need a break? Well, I have learned how to say "I'm tired" in 10 languages!

This jogged my memory of a quote by a Russian open water fishing boat captain, while sharing a meal and drinks with crewmen of an American troller somewhere in the Bering Straits:
"We Russians and you Americans are much alike in many ways. The big difference - we Russians "know" we are not free!"
-This in an article in either Life or Look Magazine, during the Cold War Era.

Interesting how I recall that with your post, BrII!

Often heard in the Soviet Union:
"We pretend to work, and the Communists pretend to pay us!"

"If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick." --Mark Twain, in an 1882 address to a girls' club in Boston

"Tradition means handing on all that is of value to the next generation."
-Henry Lewis Bullen

Though I grew up with and was greatly influenced by such a philosophy (still mindful of it daily), I warily pose the question: Does this quote have much relevance at all within contemporary society?

Sadly, pard, the best transmitter is useless without a good receiver.
