SDNet Words of Wisdom

What odd, amusing, yet still useful words of wisdom have you picked up from the posters here, that apply to you somehow?
The first little gem I can think of is this:
Darth Wong wrote:Or just allow the lawn to be overrun with weeds. The suburban mystique attached to the never-ending battle of sustaining the grass monoculture is irritating to me.
From
Venting XXV, at the start of the whole grass discussion.
Mostly because I hate, really hate, mowing my lawn. So I wish that more people, like my parents, would heed this advice. It would make life so much easier.
So, what other gems have you all taken from this place?

Actually, that phrase has been around SD.net almost since the begining of the board. After some research, it appears it was first muttered by Mr. B in
this thread.

Wow.
Does this Mr. B know of the legacy he left?

I would not consider him the starter of the legacy. I've said that phrase many times never knowing about his saying it. In fact, I did the search because I thought
I was the first to say it. It really is more a tribute to the writers of Family Guy that anything else.
EDIT: Upon further inspection, it appears I was second to say it. Woohoo.

"Because You Touch Yourself at Night" came from Family Guy IIRC.

Well, then, I guess it's kind of something to be proud of then, no? ;D

fgalkin: The only problem with living forever is that when people will finally be using genetic engineering, we will become obsolete.
Sea Skimmer: And that children is why we also have guns.

But it's much more comfortable to imagine Jmac saying it.

"the advantage of being a pessimist is that you're always either proven to be correct or pleasantly surprised."

The weird part is that I have absolutely no memory of this.
Have a very nice day.

I should be offended by those thread hijacks discussing the origin of "because you touch yourself at night" and the whole "b00bies" thing, but that would be rather ironic, wouldn't it?

That's 'b00bees,' with two 'e's, by the way.
And... well... just... blame her. And that infernal thread in the BotM that spawned it. Which was also partly her fault, IIRC.

How can I complain about someone for hijacking a thread? That's like Spanky complaining that someone changes their avatar too much.
