Pic of the Day: ♫ “Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube / From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes / When I’m called off, I got a sawed off / Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off / You too, boy, if ya fuck with me / The police are gonna hafta come and get me / Off yo ass, that’s how I’m goin out / For the punk motherfuckers that’s showin out / Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble / Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo / Goin off on a motherfucker like that / with a gat that’s pointed at yo ass / So give it up smooth / Ain’t no tellin when I’m down for a jack move / Here’s a murder rap to keep yo dancin / with a crime record like Charles Manson / AK-47 is the tool / Don’t make me act the motherfuckin fool / Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe / I’m knockin niggaz out tha box, daily / yo weekly, monthly and yearly / until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly / that I’m down with the capital C-P-T / Boy you can’t fuck with me / So when I’m in your neighborhood, you better duck / Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck / As I leave, believe I’m stompin / but when I come back, boy, I’m comin’ straight outta Compton.” ♫ (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I like you, Jack. Well, maybe not, but I understand you. Let me tell you what’s gonna happen. This way you can prepare yourself.” “Okay…” “Soon there’s going to be a knock on that door and you will be called outside. In the hall there will be a man who out-ranks you. First he’ll compliment you on the fine job you’ve done – on you making the world a safer place. That you’re to receive a commendation or a promotion. And then he’s going to tell you that I am to be released. You’re going to protest. You’ll probably threaten to resign. But in the end, I will be released. The reason I’ll be released is the same reason you think I’ll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of those men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year, sometimes it’s embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can’t be seen supplying. So, you call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I’m a necessary evil.” (20th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Have you anything to say before the sentence of this court is passed upon you?” “Milord, much as I desire to live, I’m not afraid to die. Since I first sailed on the Bounty over four years ago, I’ve know how men can be made to suffer worse things than death, cruelly, beyond duty, beyond necessity. Captain Bligh, you’ve told your story of mutiny on the Bounty, how men plotted against you, seized your ship, cast you adrift in an open boat, a great venture in science brought to nothing, two British ships lost. But there’s another story, Captain Bligh, of ten cocoanuts and two cheeses. A story of a man who robbed his seamen, cursed them, flogged them, not to punish but to break their spirit. A story of greed and tyranny, and of anger against it, of what it cost. One man, milord, would not endure such tyranny. That’s why you hounded him. That’s why you hate him, hate his friends. And that’s why you’re beaten. Fletcher Christian’s still free. Christian lost, too, milord. God knows he’s judged himself more harshly than you could judge him. I say to his father, ‘He was my friend. No finer man ever lived’. I don’t try to justify his crime, his mutiny, but I condemn the tyranny that drove ‘im to it. I don’t speak here for myself alone or for these men you condemn. I speak in their names, in Fletcher Christian’s name, for all men at sea. These men don’t ask for comfort. They don’t ask for safety. If they could speak to you they’d say, ‘Let us choose to do our duty willingly, not the choice of a slave, but the choice of free Englishme’. They ask only the freedom that England expects for every man. If one man among you believe that one man – he could command the fleets of England, He could sweep the seas for England. If he called his men to their duty not by flaying their backs, but by lifting their hearts… their… That’s all.” (90th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I used to admire your poetry.” “Thank you.” “I shouldn’t admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don’t you agree? Feelings, insights, affections… it’s suddenly trivial now. You don’t agree; you’re wrong. The personal life is dead in Russia. History has killed it. I can see why you might hate me.” “I hate everything you say, but not enough to kill you for it.” (60th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Ruben. As you know, everybody here shares in the belief that being deaf is not a handicap. Not something to fix. It’s pretty important around here. All these kids… all of us, need to be reminded of it every day.” (5th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “We’re both trying, Don. You’re trying not to drink, and I’m trying not to love you.” (80th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I mean, if this really is our last ride, what if we make up some new routines?” (10th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: “You see, fear is a fighter’s best friend. You know, but it ain’t nothing to be ashamed of. See, fear keeps you sharp, it keeps you awake, you know, it makes you want to survive. You know what I mean? But the thing is, you gotta learn how to control it. All right? ‘Cause fear is like this fire, all right? And it’s burning deep inside. Now, if you control it, Tommy, it’s gonna make you hot. But, you see, if this thing here, it controls you, it’s gonna burn you and everything else around you up. That’s right, you know?” (35th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “We can’t change anything, Adrian. All we can do is just go with what we are.” “You can’t go with what you are you’ve read the papers, it’s suicide! You’ve seen him you know how strong he is! You can’t win!” “Oh, Adrian. Adrian always tells the truth. No maybe I can’t win. Maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he’s got. But to beat me he’s gonna have to kill me, and to kill me he’s gotta have the guts to stand in front of me, and to do that he’s gotta be willin’ to die himself. I don’t know if he’s ready to do that. I don’t know. I don’t know.” (40th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “One step at a time. One punch at a time. One round at a time.” (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Kill me before the war is over, will you? It appears that you are not the better man.” “You’re right. My sons were better men.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Hunt is uniquely trained and highly motivated – a specialist without equal – immune to any countermeasures. There is no secret he cannot extract, no security he cannot breach, no person he cannot become. He has most likely anticipated this very conversation and is waiting to strike in whatever direction we move. Sir, Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny – and he has made you his mission.” (10th Anniversary)
Image
Pic of the Day: “I don’t think I can get her to do it.” “You mean it’ll be difficult?” “Very.” “Well, this is not mission difficult, Mr. Hunt, it’s mission impossible. ‘Difficult’ should be a walk in the park for you.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Mr. Holland had a profound influence on my life and on a lot of lives I know. But I have a feeling that he considers a great part of his own life misspent. Rumor had it he was always working on this symphony of his. And this was going to make him famous, rich, probably both. But Mr. Holland isn’t rich and he isn’t famous, at least not outside of our little town. So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure. But he would be wrong, because I think that he’s achieved a success far beyond riches and fame. Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony Mr. Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. We are the music of your life.” (30th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Harry. Harry. You could have been anything. Anything. You had brains… ambition. You worked harder than any 10 men. But the wrong things. Always the wrong things.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “And what’s your name?” “Phoebe.” “Phoebe?” “I call myself Phoebe.” “And why not? Tell me, Phoebe, do you want someday to have an award like that of your own?” “More than anything else in the world.” “Then you must ask Miss Harrington how to get one. Miss Harrington knows all about it.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Maybe it’s right what you say: I’m still dumb. But I know one thing I never knew before. There’s a better kind of life than the one I got.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I’m with.” (75th Anniversary)
