If you could walk in anyone's shoe's..

“If you could walk in anyone's shoe's who would it be?

wow thats a hard one.

I think it would be Jane Goodall

what she has done with her life and the lives of animals is somthing that should be honored for many mnay years. to be able to connect to a creature like she does, just takes my breath away....

Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved. – Dr. Jane Goodall



so what about you?”

“HUGH HEFNER!!


Baybeeeeeeee!



SCHHHHAAAAAAA-WING!”

“Jane Goodall was a hottie back in the day. I think I'd have liked to get into her... uhh shoes..”

“Jungle love, it's drivin' me mad, it's makin' me crazy, crazy...”

“Mr. Rogers . . . the guy rocks. That would mean I'd have to change my sex though and I'm not sure that I'm too interested in that.

A woman . . . Anais Nin. Crazy nasty gal there. At least it would be interesting.”

“I'd probably get a fungus.”

“Did you ever see "Henry and June", newgirl? Interesting film, but not worth the flap it caused over being the first NC-17 movie.”

“I have Bit. It was a long time ago though. I should rent it again. Anais Nin was so freaky, it fascinates me.”

“shut UP, newgirl! i love ol' Anais, she kicks ass.”

“Here's a guy that lived a long, full life. He made it big in show business, coming from a poor Lower East Side family. Worked his way through vaudeville onto the big screen. Will always be immortalized for his wit. He lived through some really historic and rapidly changing times and, I'm guessing, had seen it all. Brought a lot of laughter and smiles to people's faces...


Some of his wit:

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Here's to our wives and girlfriends...may they never meet!

Mrs. Teasdale: He's had a change of heart.
[Groucho]: A lot of good that'll do him. He's still got the same face.

I sent the club a wire stating, Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Send two dozen roses to Room 424 and put 'Emily, I love you' on the back of the bill.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

A man is as young as the woman he feels.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions-the curtain was up.

Now there's a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here!

There's one way to find out if a man is honest-ask him. If he says 'yes,' you know he is a crook.

To Margret Dumont: "I can see you and I married. I can see you bending over the stove. I can't see the stove!

Dig trenches? With our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made.

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.

Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing..if you can fake that, you've got it made.

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.

Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

She got her good looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon.

I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Remember men you are fighting for the ladies honor, which is probably more than she ever did.

Paying alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.

We took pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed. . . But we're going back next week.

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

Marriage is the chief cause of divorce.”

“I know Lyra. In the first serious relationship I ever had (which was ironically w/ a freaky painter) he introduced me to Anais Nin and her books.”

“oh yeah? that's wild! my friend Cara told me i'd love her, and she was right. i haven't read any of her books since college...but i think i read all the diaries. i'm not too interested in the fiction, really...”

“i don't think i'd like to be her, though...a little TOO interesting for my taste. did you read the part in the diary where she got it on with her dad when she was like 30? yikes. anyway, if anyone is into "crazy nasty," you should read Anais. LOL!”

“Yow. Too freaky for me.

Anyway, I love the scene in the movie where she's in bed with Henry Miller, and talks about him being the "just the right size". Hilarious.”

“Remember the repartee that got Groucho canned:
Groucho (to gameshow contestant) And how many children do you have?
Contestant: Five.
Groucho: Why so many?
Contestant: I love my husband very much.
Groucho: Well, I love my cigar, but I still take it out sometimes.”

“I'm not sure I could shoulder the burden others must carry throughout their lives, mine is trouble enough. I'll stay in my own shoes. I think it would be a let down to realize they have the same or worse problems as you. Those that we perceive lead a charmed life, rarely actually do.”

“But wouldnt it be cool to just do what they did for a little while?

I mean I in no way want to do everything goodall did, that would suck! but it would be interesting!”

“I guess its kinda like "who is your hero?"

I mean, who does not want to be like there hero and live a little like them.”

“I forgot about that exchange. Thanks for bringing that to light again...”

“I want to be more like myself.I want to revisit all the stupid mistakes I've made in life, but this time I will have them on video---'turn off the camera Margret'.”

“Well, seeing as how HEFNER is already taken... I'm thinking Neil Armstrong (I always was sort of a space cadet).”

“Okay, okay, I'd walk in... Andre the Giant's shoes.

Lots of room to wiggle my toes, and it'd make a pretty cool laughing scene here at work!”

“Phaedrus, you already walk in my shoes. Change yer socks once in a while, wouldya?”

“If you'll change the underwear!”

“and no one picked Colin.


OK, I will. I can't think of a better pair to be in than Colin Fletcher's.”

“...If you could...

Bill Clinton, because I would love to do any thing I wanted an get away with it. No matter how much is screwed up the countries image.”

“I'd like to walk in Teddy Roosevelt's shoes. An ancestor of mine, and in my opinion, the greatest president EVER.”

“Tea, do you reduce everything in life to your hatred of anything that is to the left of you?”

“I like my own shoes. I'm happy with the life I live. I've don't envy anyone else or wish for anything different.

I might admire some others for what they do, but everyone has their demons, and as the saying goes, "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know."”

“Oh that's weird Artex. I'm distantly related to his wife. I guess that makes us some sort of weird in-laws.”

“cousins bit.
In Maine any oddball relation is a cousin. We're too simple minded to figure it all out. :)”

“OK, I guess so, since Artex is probably descended from one of her kids. Makes us cousins umpty-umpty-times removed.”

“um...i posted the "breaking in boots" thread, and after all of that talk, i don't think it would be a good idea to walk in anyone else's shoes. too much rubbage, i suppose.”

“That is funny, bitpusher! Cool, we're like, related and stuff.”

“...Millard Filmore?”

“hendrix”

“stumprider, is that spelled right? Just wondering cuz I work in FILLMORE COUNTY, celebrating its 150th b-day this year. and named for the prez.”

“i'm related to abe lincoln”

“Maybe one day I can figure out what relation I am to her, then we can compare notes. I was just reading about one of my other lines, and it said she (Edith Kermit Carow) was descended from it as well.”

“Sounds good bitpusher. My mother is big time into geneology and has our family mapped way back. I can get the lineage from her, so let me know if you ever get a copy of your family tree. :-)”

“You might want to verify that you're descended from her. TR was married to another woman who died, and he had a daughter by her. If you're descended from TR that way, then we're just weird in-laws or something, lol...”

“I can't believe no one from the Christian Contingent has mentioned Jebus.”

“Would you really like to walk in His shoes? "jebus", that is. Today might be a bit of a downer, eh?”

“good point!”

“no...GOod Friday..




(sorry...that was bad. i'll be over here if you need me...)”

“You're right! (Jeeze, leave it to a journalist to get picky on a bulletin board!)

:-)”

“hmmm...probably Albert Schweitzer.

Or John Muir, Tom Brown Jr, Jane Goodall, Mother Theresa. There are many whose lives I have read about and whose work I have studied. There are so many people who have really "given back" something to the earth, either by teaching or through their actions, in some way leaving their legacy.

Currently, I think Jeff Corwin has the best job on the planet! He is the goofiest, funniest, dorkiest, animal naturalist I have seen. I LOOOOVE him!
>:D”

“Jeff Corwin ROCKS, Amy!”

“"In Maine any oddball relation is a cousin. We're too simple minded to figure it all out. :)"

If course that simple mindedness is caused by all the oddball relations with cousins.”

“LOL @ pedxing!”
