Image BBS Sayings

Post by hendrb01 »

Ok,

So I found myself chuckling after I realized I used a saying from the Image BBS login sayings (e.say), today in an email.

"You can be sincere and still be stupid."

What are some of the sayings that you find yourself still using from the venerable Image BBS login sayings?

I have long been known to utter at least a couple of the Image "Sayings" quotes...
You're never a complete failure in life; You can always be used as a bad example.
Two wrongs don't make a right - but three lefts do!
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use beeing a damn fool about it...
Undoubtedly there are more, but those three I believe are all from the original Sayings file that came with Image 1.2a...

It's funny you mention these.. They came about because Fred had a flip calendar which had all of those sayings in it.. Weird but true..

Didn't C-Net 64 have a saying "Fortune cookie" program in it too?

Though all of the versions I had never included the saying file.
