Before my forced retirement, one of my well worn lines was "I'm captain of this ship!" dammit!
It was a comment Jimmy makes between songs on YHTBT

Also tell myself all the time that wrinkles only go where the smiles have been.
My husband and I use the "evolution can be mean" like an inside joke when we see someone who, from their behavior, is in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Also when I have a "here we go again" reaction to a news story I hum the "we're just recycled history machines, cavemen in faded blue jeans."
LOVE that Bubba's such a wordsmith
I think this is what I want on my tombstone. I love that line!!!
During a golf game last week, I was trying to shoot over a cluster of trees, and when it didn't happen, my buddy said, "Watch out for that gravity storm, it'll get you ever time."
On the Meet Me In Margaritaville CD there is a Live version of A Pirate Looks at Forty. Jimmy follows up the line “I go for Younger Women” with one perfect word. “Trouble” It’s not just the word, it’s the way he says it.
One of my other favorites comes from his book A Pirate Looks at Fifty.
"It's important to have as much fun as possible while we're here. It balances out the times when the minefield of life explodes." - A Pirate Looks At Fifty
And you can’t run your own business without having the words to “It’s My Job” or “Breath In Breath Out” go through your head a least once a day.
Girl of a thousand faces, from a long line of basket cases...
...There's an island in the ocean
Where the people stay in motion
Somewhere on the old gulf stream
Do they live or did I dream
They were changin' channels
Waitin' for their sails to fill
They were changin' channels
Always will
Lesson One: Never forget - they are the enemy
Lesson Two: Just remember, assholes are born that way, and they usually don't change
Lesson Three: You don't want to go to jail
Lesson Four: When you start to take this job seriously, you're in trouble
Lesson Five: It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it takes to see the bad
Lesson Six: If you decide to run with the ball, just count on fumbling and getting the sh*t knocked out of you, but never forget how much fun it is just to be able to run with the ball
Carry on as you know they would want you to do. ~~JB, dedication to Tim Russert
Take your time
Find your passion
Life goes on until it ends
Don’t stop living
Until then
~~Mac McAnally
