Pic of the Day: “The frontier place is for people like my white son and his woman and their children. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once, we were here.” (30th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “The first night that Pat and I met at my sister’s, the Eagles beat the 49ers handily, 40-26. The second time we got together we went for a run and the Phillies beat the Dodgers 7-5 in the NLCS.“ “She’s right, Dad.” “The next time we went for a run, the Eagles beat the Falcons 27-14.” “Wow.” “The third time we got together, we had Raisin Bran in the diner and the Phillies dominated Tampa Bay in the fourth game of the World Series, 10-2.” “Oh, wow.” “Let me think about that. Wait a minute.” “Well, why don’t you think about when the Eagles beat the Seahawks, 14-7?” “He was with you?” “He was with me. We went for a run.” “Really? That’s crazy.” “There have been no games since Pat and I have been rehearsing every day and if Pat had been with me like he was supposed to, he wouldn’t have gotten in a fight, he wouldn’t be in trouble, maybe the Eagles beat the New York Giants.” “She’s making a lot of sense, Pop. That’s all right on all counts.” “Does anybody here happen to know what the official motto of the state of New York is on the official seal of the State of New York? Huh? Anybody? Do you? Do you know? ‘Excelsior’. Look it up… yeah, ‘Excelsior’. Not that I give a fuck about football or about your superstitions, but if it’s me reading the signs, I don’t send the Eagles guy whose personal motto is ‘Excelsior’, to a fucking Giants game, especially when he’s already in a legal situation.” “Unbelievable.” “Wow. How did you know all that stuff?” “I did my research.” (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “The captain says it’s like spelling to a fence post.” “Does he now? It’s how I watch you talk to your baby.” “The baby?” “Any baby. It’s gibberish. Grown-up gibberish. Baby-talk gibberish. Do they understand one word of it to start? Somehow they begin to if they hear it. I’m letting Helen hear it.” “Other children are not impaired.” “Oh, there’s nothing impaired in her head. It works like a mousetrap.” “Then when will she learn?” “Maybe after a million words.” (60th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Hey, yeah, uh, I’m just calling to procure a hasty abortion. What? – Can you just hold on for a second, I’m on my hamburger phone.” (15th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “What you doin’ here, man?” “Policeman.” “You’re a policeman here in Sparta.” “They’ve got a murder they don’t know what to do with.” (55th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Sometimes I jump ahead in our life together, and I see a time near the end. I can predict the future, and everything is settled. And all our lovers and children and friends come back and are welcome. And we have large gatherings where everyone is laughing and playing games. I am older and I see things differently, and I finally understand you. I take care of your dresses, keeping them from dust and ghosts and time.” “Yes, but right now we’re here.” “Yes, of course we are.” “And I’m getting hungry.” (5th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “There was right. There was wrong. Now there is you. I cannot judge this. You must decide.” (5th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: “Call it.” “Call it?” “Yes.” “For what?” “Just call it.” “Well, we need to know what we’re calling it for here.” “You need to call it. I can’t call it for you. It wouldn’t be fair.” “I didn’t put nothin’ up.” “Yes, you did. You’ve been putting it up your whole life, you just didn’t know it. You know what date is on this coin?” “No.” “1958. It’s been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it’s here. And it’s either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.” “Look, I need to know what I stand to win.” “Everything.” (15th Anniversary)
