'Twas a woman drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her.
I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.
[when asked why he never drank water] I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
[when asked what he would like his epitaph to read] On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.
[when asked whether he liked children] Ah, yes . . . boiled or fried.
[when "caught" reading a Bible] Just looking for loopholes.
Wouldn't it be terrible if I quoted some reliable statistics which prove that more people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol?
I like, in an audience, the fellow who roars continuously at the troubles of the character I am portraying on the stage, but he probably has a mean streak in him and, if I needed ten dollars, he'd be the last person I'd call upon. I'd go first to the old lady and old gentleman back in Row S who keep wondering what there is to laugh at.
Horse sense is what a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.
What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?
What fiend put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. No use being a damned fool about it.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake.
Once during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.
What a gorgeous day. What effulgent sunshine. It was a day of this sort the McGillicuddy brothers murdered their mother with an axe.
Hell, I never vote for anybody. I always vote against.
Children should neither be seen nor heard from...ever again.
[looking back on his life] You know, I'd like to see how I would've made out without liquor.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.
The only thing a lawyer won't question is the legitimacy of his mother.
Start every day with a smile, and get it over with.
I remember Shakespeare's words because he was a great writer. I can't remember Hollywood lines; just as I may well recall a wonderful meal at Delmonico's many years ago, but not the contents of the garbage pail last Tuesday at Joe's Fountain Grill.
Women are like elephants. They are interesting to look at, but I wouldn't like to own one.
[on reading the Bible] I admit I scanned it once, searching for some movie plots . . . but I found only a pack of wild lies.
A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.
Marriage is better than leprosy, because it's easier to get rid of.
There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.
[about comedian Bert Williams] He was the funniest man I ever saw, and the saddest man I ever knew.
[on Charles Chaplin] He's the best ballet dancer in the world.
Hollywood is the gold cap on a tooth that should have been pulled out years ago.
I gargle with whiskey several times a day, and I haven't had a cold in years.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.

If it's the try, try again quote, he could be telling us to keep trying, as in - we haven't got it yet.
But did Fields say that often? I really know nothing about him, so I don't know. According to some places, his catch-phrase was "Never give a sucker an even break."
i think we shouldn't read too much into that one...i think he really is mocking us!
silly dj...i think all the dj's are gonna be in it this year...thats why the voice is computer-y so they can answer us all night and we can't tell the difference....maybe i really am just losing it!
Fields' most well-known quote was "on the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."
LOL I've solved it ...Man Man will be at Bonnaroo this year!!! In fact they will be the only bad the entire weekend. LOL now we can quit with all this!
when i googled wc fields quotes the second one that showed was the one If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it....it spoke to me! i tell ya he/they are watchin us and listening and he/they know where we live..... and ok i need to stop freaking myself out ROTFLMAO
What to make of the WC Fields though??....anyone....anything?
I think we have for the most part exhausted ourselves with that one. I think it is telling us to keep trying....or it is telling us we have reached the point of fool-dom and we should go ahead and stop hahaha
could also have something to do with Philadelphia, since that was a big part of who he was.
Could have something to do with alcohol, that was a big part of his act as well. Or not drinking water because of the inappropriate things fish do in there
we could go all over the place if we wanted to but I think it's saying we're being silly fools lol

i concur...but this is my favorite that i have found of his so far
W. C. Fields I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake--which I also keep handy.

I'm reposting this because I think I was on to something...
I need to expand on the Screaming Trees reference...
Barking up the right tree....I went a little further.
Josh Homme played guitar with them from 96-98
Josh Homme was born in "Joshua Tree" California
Queens of the Stone Age's album Songs For The Deaf is a concept album, which is tied together by faux radio stations that play sh*tty music. Songs from the album- "Hangin Tree" "God Is In The Radio"
There you have it...it's either Queens, or one of the other projects he's been involved with...Eagles of Death Metal, or the ALMIGHTY KYUSS!!!!
Either way, I've been waiting for Josh Homme in some form at Bonnaroo for a long time!!!
if at first you don't succeed... its aliyah, posthumously. go to bed kids. i'm really only posting this as a reference point so i know where to start reading from tomorrow. goodnight all.
i was thinking about the philadelphia quote since im from there and all i could think of was trey is from philly but were already almost positive phish will be there, the greatful dead sold out 53 straight shows at the spectrum(i might be a little off on that number) but we already are thinking they might be there and of course bruce but we also know he might be there so none of my ideas really gave us anything new
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Hahaha am I the expert now? I don't think I even have a proper opinion on this one. I don't know enough about W.C. Fields. The try, try again quote - I haven't seen any indication that he said that more than once, which is what we need here. I've found places that say his catchphrase was "Never give a sucker an even break" and I have no idea how that could relate to our split personality clues. I asked my mother if she knew of any catch phrase W.C. Fields had and she suggested the "my little chickadee" thing but I don't know how that would relate either.
I'm pretty stumped. It may be that he was just telling us to keep trying. I don't know.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

You may not be the expert but I've lurked on here long enough to know who's usually full of poop and who usually has a general grasp on the concept at hand..... anyways
I don't know near enough about him either but I know it has to be the most widely used one....but to figure out the other half of our personality crisis??
Also, did I miss something or what was the half that we have apparently figured out?
My minds turned to mush....and I dont think thats how you spell mush, or if mush is actually a word i dont really care right now
