 December 4, 2013 - 8:23pm | OK the only connection to SF this has is that you will find some thing in here to inspire you. Maybe not in the game but in life. http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_713_the-45-most-badass-lines-ever-uttered-in-real-life/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fanpage&utm_campaign=new+article&wa_ibsrc=fanpage Personally I like Benjamin Franklin's and Bruce Lee's Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
 December 5, 2013 - 11:15am | Franklin? Have you never read Poor Richard's Almanac? Franklin didn't give up one quote he wrote a book. Personal favorite: "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead." I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 5, 2013 - 7:40pm | Poor Richard's Almanac? A book? Well it wasn't and yes I have heard of it. Poor Richard's Almanac was a phamphet published yearly between 1732 and 1752 and contain: Quoted from Wikipedia " The Almanack contained the calendar, weather, poems, sayings and astronomical and astrological information that a typical almanac of the period would contain. Franklin also included the occasional mathematical exercise, and the Almanack from 1750 features an early example of demographics. It is chiefly remembered, however, for being a repository of Franklin's aphorisms and proverbs, many of which live on in American English. These maxims typically counsel thrift and courtesy, with a dash of cynicism.[5] In the spaces that occurred between noted calendar days, Franklin included proverbial sentences about industry and frugality. Several of these sayings were borrowed from an earlier writer, Lord Halifax, many of whose aphorisms sprang from, "....[a] basic skepticism directed against the motives of men, manners, and the age."[6] In 1757, Franklin made a selection of these and prefixed them to the almanac as the address of an old man to the people attending an auction. This was later published as The Way to Wealth, and was popular in both America and England.[7]" Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

That would likely be the farmer's almanac, local public library had a compliation of all of Franklins quotes and oroverbs in one cover called pooer richards- it was a good read. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
