Author Topic: Important Things In Life... Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-11-2004 06:59 PM                  I was just listening to a tune called "Faster Horses" and it had some lyrics that I thought were very true in the grand scheme of things as to what is REALLY important in the mysteries of life: Faster Horses. Younger Women (or men). Older Whiskey. More Money! Sad, but how true, huh? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-11-2004 09:29 PM                        Who gives a rat's ass about whiskey? Whoever likes it deserves to get a DUI. And people who get a DUI should be set on fire. I mean GEEEESH! Phil likes beer in a dixie cup.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-11-2004 10:11 PM                        (Phil, that tune is about 20 years old. What 45-RPM-record-playing radio station are you listening to, anyway?) We have a sign in the theatre which I've always liked. It was written in 1977 by my old boss. It reads: ORDER OF IMPORTANCE 1. Your health 2. Your family 3. School 4. School-related activities (sports) 5. Your job here 6. Your friends 7. Your boyfriend/girlfriend 8. Fun  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 05-12-2004 01:03 AM                     The real sad truth is that nothing actually matters. Everything will at some point no longer exist and it will as thought none of this ever happened.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2004 02:07 AM                        THAT's cheery! Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. =============== Don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around You'll find my reason - is logically sound Who's gonna know that you passed them around A hundred years from today Why crave a penthouse - that's fit for a queen You're nearer heaven - on mother Earth's green If you had millions - what would they all mean One hundred years from today? So laugh and sing - make love the thing Be happy while you may There's always one - beneath the sun Who's bound to make you feel that way The moon is shining - and that's a good sign Cling to me closer - say you'll be mine Remember baby we won't see it shine One hundred years from today A hundred years from today!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-12-2004 03:21 AM                        There is no way any of the things in Mike's list would rank above friends and girlfriend. Those are the most important things in my life. Fun would be next on the list. I'm not gonna live forever, nor do I want to, so I am not super freaky about my health. I want to be fit so I can do things, but being a health nut is going too far. I don't care about complications later in life, because I will be murdered by then anyway. quote: William Hooper (who STILL doesn't have a member pic) wrote: Don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around You whore.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2004 06:44 AM                        It's more about slutting than whoring, I think. ================ I pardon that man's life. What was thy cause? Adultery? Thou shalt not die. Die for adultery? No. The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly Does lecher in my sight. Let copulation thrive; for Gloucester's bastard son Was kinder to his father than my daughters Got 'tween the lawful sheets. To't, luxury, pell-mell! for I lack soldiers. Behold yond simp'ring dame, Whose face between her forks presageth snow, That minces virtue, and does shake the head To hear of pleasure's name. The fitchew nor the soiled horse goes to't With a more riotous appetite. King Lear, Act IV, Scene 6  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-12-2004 07:14 AM                     Hey, Gloucester! That's all I got out of that...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2004 09:05 AM                     Er ahhh, I will change that to the correct order... Mike you need to get a revised sign made up!! ORDER OF IMPORTANCE 1. Your health 2. Your family 3. Friends 4. Fun 5. Your Job 6. School 7. School-related activities (sports) Your boyfriend/girlfriend( actually #8 falls under friends so I dropped this one completely) 1. If you're not healthy none of the below matters. 2. Family first! 3. Your friends are almost as important as your family. 4. If you don't put fun on a regular basis you won't be worth anything at your job or in day to day life. 5. Jobs are important but are easily replacable to those that want one. 6. Become smart and know what you want. 7. Become competitive!  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-12-2004 09:26 AM                     All the lists after Phils are just too serious.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-12-2004 04:16 PM                        Not everybody's family is great. Some people have super crappy parents and families who act indifferent. Should family STILL be high on that list?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2004 05:49 PM                        I think that list was written with normal teenage pursuits in mind and written from the point of view of the boss. The average teen thinks "fun" is the most important thing in the world, but in the working world, having too much fun can be hazardous to your job! And, to the average teenage girl, the boyfriend is more important than God, family, fun or anything else, so I suppose that's why it's got a separate place on the list. But hey, I didn't write it...I just plagiarized it from a dead guy!  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-12-2004 05:54 PM                     SEX, CARS and ROCK'n'ROLL!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-12-2004 06:41 PM                  quote: Mike Blakesley What 45-RPM-record-playing radio station are you listening to, anyway?

Mike & Mark: The thing I think is sadly missing from your lists ...and should be in the #1 position is SEX! Without a heathly sex relationship, ya ain't got nuttin'! Use it or lose it!
