[quote=Skitzo Control;798587] ..and other "inspirational" quotes.Motivational?*
[quote=Linko_16;799619][COLOR=indigo]I can kinda guess what the "responsibility" one probably is.[/COLOR]
[IMG]http://www.poster.net/marvel/marvel-spiderman-responsibility-2807115.jpg[/IMG]
Orly...You don't say..?
No wai... I thought it'd say "responsibility is for faggots, get back on the couch and eat Cheetos."
[quote=Linko_16;799635][COLOR=indigo]No wai... I thought it'd say "responsibility is for faggots, get back on the couch and eat Cheetos."[/COLOR]
I hope that's just sarcasm, or else the wedding is OFF!
[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;799644]Wow, dude. What a ****ty christmas.
I'd say...dude got a well deserved grown-up haul.
Atleast they're not handing out cheese wheels and fruitcake, yet.
I'd take the cheese.
I'll give you my cheese. And by "cheese," I mean "semen." (I made a New Year's Resolution to decrease the amount of perverted jokes I make, but it's not the New Year, yet, so I better get in my fill!)
Linko, here's the quotes for you, from left to right:
Determination: In the heart of the strong shines a relentless ray of resolve... It cannot be stopped, it cannot be controlled, and it will not fail.
Commitment: To fight when others fold, pursue while other retreat, conquer while others quit, and make right when all else is wrong.
Perseverance: Some people want it to happen... Some people wish it to happen... Others tear down the walls of resistance and make it happen.
Teamwork: Trust is the emotional glue that holds every team together... In times of trial, it transforms a group of committed individuals into a team of individuals committed.
Responsibility: With great power... comes great responsibility.
Patriotism: Wish our country well or ill, but know this... We will pay any price, bear any burden and meet any hardship... To assure the survival of our freedom.
Possibilities: Within me lies infinite power... Before me, endless possibilities... Decisions... Decisions... Decisions...
Exellence: Excellence is reserved for those who, even when they fail, do so by doing greatly, so that their place shall never be among those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
Attitude: Too positive to be doubtful... Too optimistic to be fearful... And too determined to be defeated.
Fortitude: Our freedom at times may be tested, however, it will never be destroyed... Whenever our country's liberty is assaulted, let the punishing shield of freedom land its mighty blow.
Leadership: Nearly all men can withstand failure... But if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Character: What lies behind us and what lies ahed of us are small compared to what lies within us.
Courage: The most courages people aren't always the ones who win... But the ones who never give up.
Justice: Justice is blind and has no fear. It is selfless, noble, and kind to all who serve it well, but know this... Do not dare justice, for it comes to all-right or wrong.
Goals: Nothing is beyond your reach. Failure is not an option.
[quote=Skitzo Control;800288]Teamwork: Trust is the emotional glue that holds every team together... In times of trial, it transforms a group of committed individuals into a team of individuals committed.
No.. No.. "Teamwork requires conformity".
Pretty cool, they're all really appropriate for the super hero that comes with it.
Chocolates, bath stuff, perfume.
Granted I used to be a serious fanboy back in the day and collect and grab up as much memorabilia and paraphernalia as I could possibly get my hands on; mini statuettes, miscellaneous accessories and what not. Still wouldn't care for those motivational posters. Plan on throwing my haul on eBay someday. Any takers.
[quote=Tyler Durden;801339]Any takers.
What do you have?
Dude, try an original premiere poster, with plexiglass face, of G.I. Joe the animated series. All with Cobra Commander cursing the "Joes". But that's not for sell, the ex bought it for me on our first annual.
