Yeah but please start your own new thread rather than pick one of my sticky posts or someone elses posts to ask a question on a new topic. This thread is for classic statements from forum members for things they want to keep where they can always be found not for questions about other topics.
There is a low rider clip sticky thread top the page also. But even that is just an information post for how to get a job to me. I'd prefer you start new topics rather than make a habit of hopping on board others and as a general rule of thumb thats the policy across all the forums just so you know. I see that you are new so its no big deal if its a one time deal and you didn't know.
Anyway, find that low rider clip thread and you can fill out and print the work order form to mail the knife. I'd need the folder in hand to both drill and thread it and also to know where to fold the clip over to make the clip fit the folder just right. Rather than reply and continue this conversation here start another thread all your own on your own topic because I don't really want this thread derailing further off of the topic I started it for. .
Thanks

I'm kind of collecting classic Obama quotes just on the side for my own use and entertainment. Not that I want to turn this into a political forum but I wanted to store them somewhere.
This one is my fave so far.

Great thread. Here are my favorites, some are humorous, others are very deep.
My daddy used to always say, "If it floats, flies, or f*cks, it's cheaper to rent it" and "Marriage is the number one cause of divorce"
A man will grasp the sharp end of a sword, to keep from drowning
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. Benjamin Franklin
No woman, no cry - BOB Marley
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time Andre Gide.
"Do nothing which is of no use" - Miyamoto Musashi
The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people. German proverb.
"The first cut is the deepest" - Sheryl Crow
Things forbidden have a secret charm. Tacitus
Silence is also speech Yiddish proverb
Dont put it in my head, put it in my hand Russian Proverb.
Do not ask a blind man which is the right way German proverb.
Half the work that is done in this world is to make things appear what they are not. - Elias Root Beadle
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself. Galileo

Talk about right on the money!

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*

Love it! New definition for personal home defense shown below in the picture I loaded! 
On another note. Here is a letter from someone that is very insightful IMO!
If you were a proud member of the global elite and you were concerned about resource depletion on the planet, what would you do to correct this problem? Go to the source mostly the US and also western Europe, to some degree. Figure out some way to make them use less resources but because no one will cut back voluntarily you have to force the issue, maybe by shrinking the middle class.
Make them poor, destroy their wealth, then theyll buy less and drive less, etc. How do you do that? Go after their savings, especially 401-ks, housing values, and jobs.
1 - Get people in debt over their heads with house prices (remember the mantra real estate always goes up?)
2 - Drive the stock market down for years and years (after youve convinced them the stock market always goes up.)
3 Open the borders to cheap labor to help drive down average wages.
4 Send good jobs overseas in the name of Free Trade.
Bring on the next Great Depression very few have any savings left to ride out a tough economy, so they lose their homes when they lose their jobs and Presto! You have middle class people living on the streets or in homeless tent cities. Whaddaya think? (FDR said when it comes to power/politics there are no coincidences.)
This gets five gold stars for "Insightful (never inciting around here, eh?) email of the week. Came from a guy in the banking sector who qualifies as very, very bright.
It answers almost everything.

Hi STR -
How's this one -
"If you put a turd in a milkshake, you don't get a great tasting turd, you get a turd-flavored milkshake".
Or -
"Alcohol is like steak sauce for life. If you are enjoying the better cuts, you don't need it, but it makes the lesser cuts more tolerable."
Or -
"There are two kinds of motorcycles; those that get dirty when ridden in the rain, and those that get cleaner."
best regards
