I think that the internet has been for years on the path to creating what is essentially an electronic Necronomicon: A collection of blasphemous unrealities so perverse that to even glimpse at its contents, if but for a moment, is to irrevocably forfeit a portion of your sanity.

I don't think I could take a class without sparring. That would be like a class without techniques. Sparring has value not only as an important (necessary) step in applying your techniques to fighting, but also because it provides a rush and feeling of elation, confidence, and joyful exhaustion that can only be matched by ... oh shit, I am describing sex again.

I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
I got the same thing from my girlfriend when I said "Fine, I'll just cut the damned spaghetti into bite-sized bits." (In response to her assertion that I was a sloppy pig, the first time she made me spaghetti.)
Apparently it's taboo during all those occaisions where you're dining with the queen and whatnot.
I just twirl it around the fork and eat. I'm willing to get a little messy for good spaghetti. But then, I was never taught any kind of upper-crust manners.

Well you have the fork thing down anyways. The queen approves of this.

I think that's from www.despair.com. They've got a lot of good ones, actually.
Heheh, that's the one! I always intended to get something from that site, but I never get around to it.

Just FYI, but when you die, you soil yourself, so wearing clean underwear is just a waste of time.
Also, I will always cut my spaghetti because it is exactly a trillion times easier to eat it that way.
To stay on topic:
'look both ways before you cross the street'
This is just a silly observation I've made, but if a phrase like these rhymes, people are 10x more likely to listen to it.
Whoever smelt it dealt it? (which is kind of weird, because smelled doesn't rhyme with dealt, but I'm not going to argue with my grandpa)
It's actually derived from an expression that English blacksmiths had about the responsibility of the manufacturer of iron to provide a proper product, saying "He who smelt it dealt it." In other words, the man who smelted the iron is the one who decided to deliver it upon the market, or "dealt it" if you will. Therefore, faulty products were the fault of the manufacturer, and he was to reimburse vendors as such.

I beat you with the first part by 2 pages, and cannot emphasize the last part enough if you're ever travelling abroad in England.
The one that I've been using recently is simply "Don't be a pussy."
There are some things that I have to do for my job that just plain suck to do (going into small, hot, cramped spaces with bugs and spiders to push fiberglass out of the way so you can get to the ceiling you need to drill, only to have the sawdust go into your face, for example, also going on a steep roof in the middle of the day on the hot, black roofing so you can paint and hope you don't slip off). Whenever I find myself shying away from doing it or doing it half-assed because it makes me uncomfortable, I just remember that I'm being a pussy and I just need to do it and stop crying about it.
On the plus side, I'm less of a pussy than I used to be :P

"Anyone can look smart if he simply keeps his mouth shut"
I'm a whore for Murphy's Laws. They are just so perfect.

# If anything can go wrong, it will.
# If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
# If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway
# If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop
# Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
# If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
I'm partial to "Nothing's worse than an ignorant person with a little bit of knowledge." Also "What's on the inside doesn't count because no one can see it."
For guys:
So you're in the shower, bored, got some time to kill, decide to have some extra "me time" ? Thats fine
But no matter how good of an idea it seems at a time DO NOT USE SOAP FOR THAT
You will feel like you're dying later, if you do.
It's not even soap, the water'll do it. Getting it on with your SO in, say, a jacuzzi can do the same thing.
Unfortunately I didn't learn this til well after my early teen years.
And even worse, it was just the shower me-time
The thing about "me time" in the shower is that you have to have your back to the water, so that you get all the benefits of hot water running down your back, and non of the drawbacks of hot water hitting your junk.

Such a beautiful song...
I much prefer "if you can't do something smart, do something right".
Rule number 1 of threesomes
And my favorite:
Always.... Never.... Forget to check your references.
NEVER cut spaghetti with a knife - seriously, that shows that you have no table manners what so ever.
My girlfriend has two first names. Also, two last names.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, teach gym."
If there's more than one stream, your threesomes have the wrong polarity.
I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

Don't Panic.

That's my imaginary girlfriend. She can split into two imaginary girlfriends.

I doubt any one will get that.
It shows you have no idea how to eat pasta.

They aren't really Murphy's Laws.
