Way too many 'f's, but I had faith that this had to be a gold quote.

All those Fs. Kind of surprising.

I won't say what I had instead of 'shutteth'. LOL!

abra on 2013-12-09 16:11:51
I had it too, Lily. Since he probably didn't say this in English, why THIS translation?

kb83 on 2014-08-01 10:36:17
Probably was translated quite a while ago. But that shouldn't prevent updating.

if you type "into" instead of "unto" it does bad things to "shutteth".

I made it hear, and I'm even very fast. No where near the record though.

universalmom on 2014-02-01 04:48:13
Same here

oddcouple on 2016-01-02 17:32:56
I'm just glad I got ephemeral. I haven't seen that word in years.

oddcouple on 2016-01-10 01:50:22
I'm just glad I got ephemeral. I haven't seen that word in eight days.

abra on 2016-05-07 18:37:57
I'm sure I must have meant "I made it here". I wasn't Very Fast this time, just average. Ephemeral must have taken longer.

The fool does not always do the wise thing - even in the end

The wise do not always do the wise thing, even in the beginning.

tabbyclaw on 2016-11-07 15:01:00
Given the number of quotes on this site that are about how the only real fools are people who give up, we can take this to mean that wise people never actually start anything.

countessofmontecrypto on 2011-02-03 23:31:28
Very unseemly for a judge to chuck farthing.

ZeebaNeighba on 2012-06-30 19:51:41
Chuck Farthing is a friend of mine

Barnabas on 2012-09-06 19:29:29
What if he likes doing just one of those things? I kind of like chucking farthing in the piazza, myself.

Allen on 2013-09-05 07:08:39
...And you're no Chuck Farthing!

wvwoman on 2014-11-04 11:38:09

mikehallbackhoe on 2015-01-03 14:34:29
you can chuck farthing, just don't get in the piazza

montyb on 2015-05-17 00:54:13
Nobody better chuck farthing in my pizza.
