Topic: Quote of the week thread.

Made me bust out laughing this did.

Quote.

I haven't figured out what they put all them frets on my guitars for I only need three, when I heard you folks talking of bar chords I thought they were Cowboy Chords you play in a bar.

Please add more.

Re: Quote of the week thread.

From another guitar forum where we were discussing fried chicken, of all things smile

"The only way you can get better chicken than that is to be a rooster"

That tickled my funny bone smile

I've always liked this one;

"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish."

Southpaw's fish quote is probably the best and funniest and truthful one so far here. I like this a lot.
your gun slinging one was good too though.

Some practical advice from my grandfather, that has non-literal application as well.  My grandfather walked everywhere, which is important to know to understand the advice.

I would have to disagree with that big_smile God is a huge and very fulfilling part of my life. Prayer can do amazing things.

Good for you, well done and congrats on your beliefs, but do not bring folk down or disagree because they do not believe. I know you werent really. I just had a bible basher having a go at me for my great song " I am an atheist". I dont mind anyones religion, it seems to be religious folk that have something against fiolk that dont believe.

feel free to delete this if you feel it will start a load of guff. I just had to reply.

**Moderator's note: Ken, you may be an athiest but you have all the attributes of a true Christian (or Musllim, Hindu and any other recoginised region for that matter). You are kind, honest, faithful, generous and law abiding, OK maybe a bit outspoken at times but most of us love you for that smile.**

"So what I'm an Atheist.... Who are you to question how your God made me"   

Okay I had to post that one but, that's it, I'm going to stay out of the religous discussion (as much as I want to jump in wink ) I wish there was a place we could chat about this resonably though. I love these discussions if they are done intelligently and respectfully to all involved. But alas, this is not the place for it... We need an empty chat room for these things smile  I'm going to head over to Kens youtube page and see if I can lend some assistance lol
