Spin Cycle--Quotable Quotes

This week's Spin Cycle is all about quotes.  Movie quotes, sayings, TV quotes, just any quote you use regularly or just really like.

One of my favorite quotes is "The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead." ~Robert Brault.  I like this one because it is so true.  It also helps to remind me to be optimistic, since I tend toward the pessimistic side of things.

Another saying that Nick and I have developed is that it always works out--not necessarily the way we initially planned, but it always works out.  Our lives have not taken the path we thought they would back when we were young, but we are so happy with where we are now.  So when life throws it's curve balls at us, we try to roll with the punches, we just may end up better off.

The other phrase that gets used often in our house is "Jinks-- you owe me a coke,( beer, drink of choice, etc.)"  when Nick and I say the same thing at the same time.  It happens at least once a day on average.  We do it so often that Turbo has started saying Jinks! when Nick and I say the same thing at the same time before we can.

Movie quotes get littered in our conversations--but since I have to try to remember which ones we use lots, I can, of course, remember none of them.  Ghostbusters, Goonies, and lines from various TV shows pop up frequently. 

We also quote comedians.  One of our favorites is Bill Cosby.  Nick is fond of saying we have two children because we don't want three--a paraphrase of Bill Cosby's line about how many kids he had.  We really like Bill Cosby's show Himself.  We also like the Blue Collar Comics and lines from their shows are often very appropriate.
