I think there's a town in Missouri named that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You have to add an 'e' to turn it into a Quayleism.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

What's the reference to?  :unsure:

Lloyd Bentsen's ass raping of Dan Quayle.
I got that from the potatoe reference,  but I  didn't really look closely at the French until now. Can't believe I missed that.

I know, but it would not work in French this way. Patate is seldom used in the singular in French.
