I'd think "I love you" would be #1.

In any case I have my own.

Thank you for giving me the best day (memory, etc.) I've ever had.

God is great (Peace-Be-Upon-You), please re-elect President Obama with the biggest margin ever.

O Lord (PBUY), help to destroy Romney, for he is a very evil man. He is a FRIEND Of the Devil. Just ask anyone at MSNBC.

O Creator (PBUY), make the GOP a minority in all branches of the govt.

Irene said...

I like, "I'm lucky."

And, "That's enough."

Next, Oop will accuse all the Conservatives of sexual harrassment for reading that comment.

I was expecting something more like "I've had 18 straight whiskies; I think that's the record" (Dylan Thomas) or "I'm ashamed of you boys. Why, they couldn't hit an elephant at this range!" (Gen. John Sedgwick).

My other last statement would be, "Fool, learn the difference between literal and figurative." :)

I was expecting something like, "Hey, y'all, hold my beer and watch this."

"Give my love to the grand kids."

Rich B said...

I'm not finished. Oh, yes you are!

ricpic said...

Famous last words:

hatboy: Buncha bigots!

rh: It's all a soap opera.

Althouse: You're not listening!

Meade: Mulch. Just mulch.

tradguy: There's none of them can hold a candle to the Scotch-Irish!

edutcher:...the Blonde...the Blonde...

Palladian: That bum deKooning caught a break, why couldn't I catch a break?!

Crack: Mormons!

Peter: Don't shave that bush!

Pogo: Commies versus My Sense of Humor? No contest.

Chip Ahoy: Get ready heaven for the greatest casserole evah!

Garage: heh heh heh

Trey: I tried but they're all nuts.

Okay, your turn to add to the list.

Ann Althouse has a theory about names, I forget it, but there must be something more to it that I had thought.

How else could Stacy Dash be important?

And how sad is it us, (supposedly by me prior) smarter than my dog, act less intelligent than him many times?

He knows tone and character are more important than just mere names, arbitrary to some extent amongst other kerfuffle-creators.

"Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today.
It's cold out there every day."

"Did I turn off the oven when we left?"

"Yes. Those jeans do make you look fat."

ricpic said...

Alex: LeftRight. RightLeft. LeftRi....

Penny: Non-sequitur non-sequitur non-sequitur.

Paul Zrimsek: With the great lines still in me I'm too clever to die!

Pogo: Mayo blockheads never knew. They NEVER KNEW!

Maitre D: And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.
No.
Maitre D: Oh sir! It's only a tiny little thin one.
No. Fuck off - I'm full...
Maitre D: Oh sir... it's only wafer thin.
Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.
Maitre D: Oh sir, just... just one...
Oh all right. Just one."

Chip Ahoy said...

Here's one thing to say and do before you die. Quit spreading shit out over five pages that can fit on one page. Realize it drives off readers because the first fifth isn't good enough. Do you need a diagram? Okay, goes like this. Draw a circle and label it dumbasses who spread shit out over five pages and another circle labeled nice people who don't do that. The two circles do not touch.

KCFleming said...

""Stay on the bomb run, boys! I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips ever'body on Bear Creek!...

YEEEE-HAAAW! YEEEEEE-HAAAAWWW!"

Your sister and I are in love

KCFleming said...

"I rewired the whole house by myself. Saved 3000 bucks."

Bob Boyd said...

I done this before...lots a times

KCFleming said...

BTW, awesome Chip comment.

I stopped on the first page for exactly that reason!

Bob Boyd said...

We need to increase security in Benghazi

MadisonMan said...

Thanks for the warning, Chip, that's it's one of those annoying multi-click pages. Hate 'em.

Is one of the phrase I think I can merge just before this truck?

KCFleming said...

"Hey, everyone! I'm the new drummer for Spinal Tap!"

KCFleming said...

"Lemme get this straight. To get into the frat, I gotta do an alcohol enema? OK, sure."

KCFleming said...

"I am here to announce my plans to skydive from just outside the atmosphere."

wyo sis said...

Things to say in your life would be more to the point.
Pogo's are more like things you say right before you die and they're much funnier.

MadisonMan said...

I don't need a life preserver.

KCFleming said...

I know, wyo sis, but it's just too hard not to skewer.

MadisonMan said...

Honey do we have any matches? I can't see if the pilot light is out!

KCFleming said...

"I want to be one with the tigers."

edutcher said...

"They'd never attack now".

"Let's take it and bring it inside the city".

"Sir, you know all those men the enemy doesn't have? Well, they're right outside".

"You really expect me to prep for this?".

The President and Anne Romney sure looked good at Ryan's inauguration.

KCFleming said...

"Behind me is Ed and Rowdy, members of an up-and-coming sub-adult gang. They're challenging everything, including me. Goes with the territory. If I show weakness, if I retreat, I may be hurt, I may be killed. I must hold my own if I'm gonna stay within this land. For once there is weakness they will exploit it, they will take me out, they will decapitate me, they will chop me into bits and pieces. I'm dead. But so far, I persevere. Persevere."

"We've traced the calls... They're coming from inside the house."

"Of course I'll respect you."

KCFleming said...

"So what happens if I take both these pills together?"

Carnifex said...

Pogo on his manic cycle tonight.

"Are we there yet?"

And #2 should be #1 on the list. You can't fully experience the last, without experiencing all the others, first. (#2 was "I love you.")

Was the bombrun quote from Dr. Strangelove? I haven't seen it in 40+ years.

Some other great sayings--

"I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you"

"One giant leap for mankind"

I'm NOT touching you!

Where's the beef?

So help me God, if I have to pull this car over!

You'll need glasses

You'll go blind.

You get hair on your palms.

Jesus cries when you do that.

(okay. Maybe not that one...in your house)

reformed trucker said...

I can't believe I wasted my time reading all 5 pages. The only meaningful ones were 1 & 2, and she had them in the wrong order.

If it was silly last words, I'd go with "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try sumptin'...".

And it's obvious that ricpic spends WAY too much time here, because he NAILED Ann's cast of characters. Well done.

KCFleming said...

I was referring to your late night rhapsodic soliloquies, Lem.

Ain't seen one for a long while, though. Six months, maybe more.

KCFleming said...

Offense unintended, my good man; so my apologies if I gave any in my haste.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Chip is right. I didnt make it past the first page.. there is something about dying thats a turn off.. but now that Pogo has mentioned me (the honor is mine)..

Lets see.. one for Obama.

"I should have tried the 47%."

edutcher said...

"Well, actually, dear, it makes your ass look like 2 Virginia hams shrink-wrapped in shocking pink latex".

"THOSE are REAL?"

"Honey, look over there. Isn't she the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?"

"She'll never find out".

Chip Ahoy said...

Do you get any hummingbirds at your place up there?

reformed trucker said...

"I should have tried the 47%."

He did; they just started running that ad here in Wisconsin... multiple times tonight within a few hours.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Oh.. I was goign to say I was waiting for inspiration but.. avoiding the drink might also have something to do with it.

But sure.. as long as there are cafes..

btw.. I bought another Ipod through the Althouse Amazon Port last week.. dont know if it did what it was supposed to.. knowwhatimean... saynomore.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Offense unintended, my good man; so my apologies if I gave any in my haste.

I dont get offended that easily..

Unless you are Althouse and you go to some feverish website accusing Rush..

Oh.. never mind.. is just too painfull ;)

edutcher said...

"Ann, no way are we sitting through another night of "My Dinner With Andre".

"Laurence, you can't have your picture taken wearing those. If someone sees you in them, I'll be a laughingstock from one end of this country to the other".

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Do you get any hummingbirds at your place up there?

If thats for me.. I cant say as I have.

Although if you are selling them Iwould be happy to consider getting one.

ricpic said...

reformed trucker - thanx for the compliment and you're right, I do spend WAY too much time here. It's called not having a life.

The Crack Emcee said...

I got turned off before finishing the first page, but maybe one of you can tell me:

Is "Fuck All Y'all!" in there anywhere?

Go ahead and say it before you die, I guarantee you'll feel better,...

It's okay, I set the power level to "stun".

I don't know - maybe palling around with Bill Ayers wasn't such a good idea after all.

Pretty disappointed that ricpic did not flag me saying either:

Con man gonna con.

or

DEAD COUNTRY WALKING.

Damn.

I'm so alone.

"I'm so alone."

Forget it, Tank. It's Althouse.

"I like to see that one more time" ;)

Nahh! They don't bite.

The Crack Emcee said...

phx,

"I accept the full responsibility for my life and my death."

Spoken like someone who's never been divorced, or married, or born.

Or did you have something to do with that last one?

This is a world of tools,...

sakredkow said...

It's my philosophy Crack. I also hold no one else reponsible or accountable to me.

From my point of view, it's my responsibility to live up to, not yours.

The Crack Emcee said...

phx,

It's my philosophy Crack.

Change it - it's not always true. Life throws us curves, and sometimes, how we recover isn't even exclusively in our hands - if we can at all.

It's cruel bordering on evil, if someone's in that situation, to insist it's not so. That they can do the impossible. You - man without legs - you can walk, damn it, you just have to believe my philosophy. And, if you can't, you didn't believe enough.

It's "The Secret" on steroids,...

sakredkow said...

Rest assured, I'm not insisting on you or anyone else accepting the full responsibility for your life -I insist on it only for myself.

Accepting responsibility for myself is hardly cruel or evil to you.

sakredkow said...

To insist you live by my philosophy would be accepting the responsibility for you, which I'm surely not going to do.

The Crack Emcee said...

phx,

To insist you live by my philosophy would be accepting the responsibility for you, which I'm surely not going to do.

Oh, believe me, I know - I've known it since I first discovered the cult problem and learned nobody was going to do anything about it, no matter who they kill, or whatever else they do. It's a total lack of societal responsibility. Nobody's going to snatch a kid by the collar and say you shouldn't beat up old people - not their responsibility. Nobody's going to do shit.

Meanwhile, my stupid ass was out there spending my life saving lives and defending the weak like an idiot, right?

Man, it must be fun to position yourself as noble while destroying everything,...

sakredkow said...

Yeah, I don't believe in so-called "societal responsibilty" - I have a responsibility for myself. That doesn't mean I don't help or care about others or I don't recognize injustice, or I won't intervene if some old lady is getting mugged. It doesn't mean I flaunt the law.

One thing it does mean though is that I never blame anyone for shit that happens in my life. It's my responsibilty to see to that shit, however bad it is, and you never hear me whining about it or saying "it's THEIR fault". Never.

What you do with your stupid ass is entirely up to you and of no concern to me. But go ahead and cry and fret til your poor heart breaks because I'm not fixing your shit for you or anyone else you think I should fix shit for and you have to do it aww by your widdle sewf!
