"can you do the best of someone better than you?"
Usually said when in working with someone who isn't all that great and they say they will do their best.

In reply to Antihero (Forum Supporter) :
Hard work & preparation can trump talent if talent doesn't prepare.
I'm sure it's been posted here more than once, but it's one of my favorites, so I'll re-post:
"Old age and treachery will always defeat youth and exuberance."
-David Mamet-
I find that as I get older and more treacherous, that I enjoy it even more.
"Well, somehow, on accident, we ended up making 40 pounds of boost. That wasn't supposed to happen."
A recent personal observation of my own, as I approach another birthday:
An advantage of getting older is that you have more opportunities to look back with grim satisfaction and say to yourself, "Well, he's dead."

I can't remember if I've posted this before but Charlie Musslewhite once said my favorite saying to my uncle.
He said " Most people ain't much"
It's very accurate
"So ideally what you need for this stage is a car without too much power, so you end up oversteering on power, and also has the ability to rotate nicely, doesn't understeer too much. So, of course, I'm going to go for the complete opposite. [...] The Audi quattro S1 E2. E2, because it's the evolution of the first quattro, which was a bit of a boat compared to this, but THIS... is a boat with a table on the back of it."

I'll admit to reading this quickly and saying to myself "thanks for the music? what the first five years?" and then re-reading and feeling silly
Situation at work reminded me of this one: "The road of life if paved with flat squirrels who couldn't make a decision."

“No cop was ever born who isn’t a sucker for a finely-executed hi-speed Controlled Drift all the way around one of those clover-leaf freeway interchanges. Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side when he sees the big red light behind him… and then we will start apologizing begging for mercy. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. The thing to do when you’re running along about a hundred or so and you suddenly find a red-flashing CHP-tracker on your trail what you want to do then is accelerate.”
