    Ok ok, after the above, I guess I owe you all some quotes...

    Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. - Dave Barry

    Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. - Wayne Dyer



    I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun. - Charles R. Swindoll

    Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners. - Laurence Sterne

    Sirscrapalot - I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being. - Jackie Robinson

    It's that time of the years.

    More Christmas/Holiday quotes. Some might be repeated, some are new.

    Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home! - Charles ****ens

    The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. - Jay Leno

    Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. - Washington Irving

    If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. - Bob Hope

    Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people only once a year. - Victor Borge

    I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. - Bernard Manning

    Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip. - Gary Allan

    I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays. - Henny Youngman

    In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another. - Jeff Miller

    From me and mine, to you and yours...



    Sirscrapalot - The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live. - George Carlin

    "Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day." - Harry S. Trueman

    A word from yours truly below, I didn't want to hold up the quotes.

    I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. - Neil Gaiman

    Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people only once a year. - Victor Borge

    I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it. - Demetri Martin

    Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. - Confucius

    Oh that word I promised...

    To my fellow forum members, Cooler Pullers, Scrappers, Recyclers, Ewasters or whatever you call yourself , Buyers, Forum Staff and anyone else who finds their way to our little piece of the Interwebz..



    It's been a pleasure bringing you all of these quotes over the last 4 years. I hope you all have enjoyed them as much as I did finding them. Ok...I'm good if you at lest liked only one. Hrrm...this sounded like I'm going somewhere...alas I'm not.

    Full Coolers, Cold Beverages, and fat checks(chEcks, not chIcks) from the yard, an a healthy, profitable 2016 to you and yours.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Sirscrapalot - Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin

    PS - Last set of quotes from me for the year. Quotes will begin again sometime after the 1st. It's New Year's Eve people, I got coolers to drain!

    Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left. - David Bowie

    Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them. - David Bowie

    Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.' - David Bowie

    I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman. - David Bowie

    R.I.P. David Bowie. 1947 - 2016

    Sirscrapalot - I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring. - David Bowie

    I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess! - Audrey Hepburn

    People teach their dogs to sit; it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky. - Mitch Hedberg

    I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. - Robert Green Ingersoll

    If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable. - Louis D. Brandeis

    Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas

    Adults are obsolete children. - Dr.Seuss

    Age is not important unless you're a cheese. - Helen Hayes

    Sirscrapalot - Saints may get into Heaven, but sinners have more fun. - As seen somewhere else.

    Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.- Martin Luther King Jr.

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King jr

    We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. - Martin Luther King Jr

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. - Martin Luther King Jr

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. - Martin Luther King Jr.

    We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. - Martin Luther King Jr

    I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. - Martin Luther King Jr.

    Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. - Martin Luther King Jr

    The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
    - Martin Luther King Jr

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. - Martin Luther King Jr.

    And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring. From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

    Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado!

    Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

    But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia!

    Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee!

    Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

    And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we're free at last!"

    Sirscrapalot - Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others. - Rosa Parks

    More words of wisdom from the cooler...

    Was listening to some Bob earlier, so..you get quotes by him.

    Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live! - Bob Marley

    Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. - Bob Marley

    Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.

    In this bright future you can't forget your past.

    God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

    Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side, not the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white

    The devil ain't got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.

    My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.

    Sirscrapalot - One Love. - Bob Marley
