    Former President George Bush, Sr. of the United States of America:
    "We will, we will, rock you,
    We will, we will, rock you,
    Some may ask... why rock out now?
    The answer is clear: these are the times that rock men's souls,
    We will, we will, rock you,
    We will, we will, rock you,
    ....
    We will, we will, rock you,
    We will, we will, rock you,
    And let me say to everyone listening and watching tonight: may God continue to rock our nation, the United States of America."

    Severely edited videotape of the guy. I mentioned on this board before where its from, can anyone remember??

    P.S. I can remember, this is just a challenge for the rest of you.

    P.P.S. Still no winner, maybe not a winner for another ten days......

    And by the way I feel I should point out that most of the quotes in smiles' post were actually from George Bush Sr's Vice President, Dan Quayle (who spelt potato with an "e" at the end). For a comprehensive list of his mess-ups, go to http://www.crosswinds.net/~gamezine/One_Big_File.html

    I'm only leaving it up for a short while but enjoy it while its there.

    They're actually Dan Quayle quotes. He was vice president of America under Bush (senior). He is famous for misspelling 'potato' as 'potatoe' while correcting a spelling bee as a publicty stunt. He also said:

    "I was known as the chief graverobber in my state"

    "Hawaii is an important part of the Pacific. It is IN the Pacific. It is part of America, which is an island, which is right here." said while visiting Hawaii.

    "We must go forward to the future, not past to the... to the back!"

    "And Bobby Night once told me that 'there isn't a good defence that can't beat a better offence'... in other words, a good offence wins!"

    "I have a very strong record on the enviroment"

    I have more...

    Because of a threat made to me by Sven that he would reveal the answer to you all of my question, because I had posted about the quotes being Dan Quayle, I've decided to let you all know. The remix was by U2 for one of their tours. The new q is which one?

    And here are some things Chris Morris had people say:

    "Carl The Elephant is currently stuck in some kind of grey ball. Her trunk is actually STUCK up her anus and they're not trying to help her, so we must!"
    Paul Daniels

    "It stimulates the part of the brain known as Shatners Vasoom, and that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception"
    Noel Edmonds, on the fictional drug "cake"

    "You're wrong and you're a grotesquely ugly freak!"
    The man himself

    Yes that's OK, I do things like that more often than I'd like to admit. Fortunately most people can never tell the difference.
