You choose:

I ain’t never seen an ass like that / The way you move it, you make my peepee go DOING DOING DOING
New Kids On the Block had a bunch of hits / Chinese food makes me sick / And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer.
I’ve got something to say

I raped your mother today

And it doesn't matter much to me

As long as she spreads

All your base are belong to us.

“The thing about photography is that the photographer really has only two basic controls: where you stand; and when you press the button. From the invention of photography it's never changed…basically, these two decisions are what photography is about. In this respect, photography depends on the photographer having a personal point of view and being clear in his mind about what he's trying to do. If you are clear about that, then where you stand and when you press the button take care of themselves.”

The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time; it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking.

when i turned it in, all got to see were englands (which are so profound) so i had 30 minutes to chose one. i chose:

"im probably the smartest man i know."

-john laroche

but then i thought the humor intended to go with that quote wouldnt last as long as the yearbook itself. so i chose:

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."

-leo tolstoy

but im regretting it already. i want to use that p.k. dick one. the tolstoy one sounds so, for the lack of a better word, corny.

ill see if i can change it.

anyways, keep the quotes coming.

"You young people are a disgrace to the human race. To all living things, to plants even. You shouldn't be seen in the same room with a cactus."-Tony
