Lemmy’s Thought of the Day

Here is what I was thinking in May 2004. Don't laugh! I'm sure I had more thoughts than some. Take a look at my thoughts, and Email me your comments!

Saturday, May 1, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: If you're going to do something at the last minute, make a firm decision to that effect. Don't sort of work on it but not really, and end up wasting a bunch of time as well as wait to the last minute.
Comments: Electron9186: What if you have only one minute left? That would be your 'last minute'! And don't forget, the only minute.

Sunday, May 2, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: When met by unexpected success, be sure to keep an eye out for its evil counterpart.
Comments: Dark Koopa: Sounds a lot like Mario's relationship with Wario. Bobby: Or Luigi's relationship with Waluigi.

Monday, May 3, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: When opposing forces are equally matched, it's time to add more players.
Comments: Bobby: You might want to tell THAT to Wario. Stone Golem: That's why they made up 2-player games.

Tuesday, May 4, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Silent voices cannot be analyzed.
Comments: Stone Golem: Neither can really loud voices. Are you listening, Morton?

Wednesday, May 5, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: One hour races, one hour crawls. It should be expected that scheduling falls.
Comments: Denny W. Koopa: You're lucky, our Phys Ed class is one year races, one year crawls. No wonder I sleepwalk each year! Double D: That is especially true during school.

Thursday, May 6, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: A locked box is only as secure as its key.
Comments: Gold Yoshi: True, very true. Denny W. Koopa: The key is only secure when you lock it in the box though... Mario told me that, never tried it though... Double D: To fix this, make sure you have to unlock the key with a key to get it to work. That would make opening a locked box such a hassle that nobody would bother to do it! But then again, that would mean that nobody would even use boxes with keys anymore.

Friday, May 7, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: It doesn't take a lot of music to set the mood, only the right music.
Comments: cyclone16: Then I guess Bowser doesn't like his theme song. Denny W. Koopa: You sure? Ludwig always seems to be happy when he plays his music. Double D: That's why boss music in video games is very climatic.

Saturday, May 8, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: A universal law may be just as bad as one that effects only some. But it's just that much more difficult to complain about it.
Comments: Electron9186: Wouldn't a person being ruled by one law be jealous of someone else with another law? THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! And another thing, do you think Morton got the 'universal law' of yapping everything ALL THE TIME? Gold Yoshi: Like physics!!!

Sunday, May 9, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Everything works better in theory.
Comments: Electron9186: Except, if in theory a machine blows up, and then when you really build it, it works perfectly, or does that even make sense? Double D: That usually applies to Ludwig's inventions. Especially Ludwig's inventions.

Monday, May 10, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Where there is no choice, there is no fault.
Comments: Gold Yoshi: But what if the fault is that there's no choice? *SNAP!!!* Owww. My brain snapped. Vance: Except if you're falling on a banana peel someone left.

Tuesday, May 11, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Is gray a shade of black, or is black a shade of gray? Or is this a gray area?
Comments: Denny W. Koopa: I thought this area looked more like aqua... Gold Yoshi: Maybe. Maybe. NO!!! Bobby: Are you colorblind? Stone Golem: Lemmy, you've been watching way too many old black and white movies. Let me guess, you got them from Ludwig?

Wednesday, May 12, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Everything you do seems better when you're not expected to do anything.
Comments: Gold Yoshi: Especially when you get allowance for it.

Thursday, May 13, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Tacks are not smart enough to tell the difference between various materials. So don't step on one.
Comments: Joanie Koopa: Unless you have a lead foot, I agree! Stone Golem: Yeah, they can't tell if a human foot steps on one, a paw, if a ball rolls over one, or if you're walking on your hands and you "step" on one. They think it's all the same.

Friday, May 14, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: When the sign says "don't run", dash.
Comments: cyclone16: What do you do when the sign says "stop"? Freeze? Yellow: Or walk. Or walk slowly. Or tiptoe. Or maybe even crawl. Bobby: Do the Double Dash, yeah! Oops, I'm overreacting to that, aren't I? Joanie Koopa: Or roll, on a ball or otherwise. *curls into a ball and starts rolling* HERE-A WE GOOOOO!

Saturday, May 15, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Always leave the door open for plan more than you'd expected.
Comments: Joanie Koopa: Or hang up a sign that says "Please knock."

Sunday, May 16, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Leave nothing open to chance, and luck will shut you out.
Comments: Gold Yoshi: But what if you leave a lot of stuff to chance and luck bites you?

Monday, May 17, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: There's usually an easier route, save that it tends to be difficult to find.
Comments: mathgrant: And it generally takes longer, too. The more difficult route is usually a shortcut. Especially in Mario Kart games. Gold Yoshi: What if you're on the easier path? Martin: Super Mario World taught us all that... Joanie Koopa: But I'VE got the player 's guide, so NYAH!

Tuesday, May 18, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: A moment's brilliance is trumped by a dose of reality.
Comments: Gold Yoshi: Like when Ludwig completes (sounds like Ludwig) an invention only to have it blow up in his face. Double D: Just like a diamond's brilliance is trumped by a dose of Wario.

Wednesday, May 19, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: When you give up what you have, don't complain of what you lack.
Comments: None

Thursday, May 20, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: You can't correct the mistakes of the past. But you can make fun of them.
Comments: Bobby: Bowser's got a lot of mistakes to shake a stick at.

Friday, May 21, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Many things are good the first time, but precious are those that are still good later on.
Comments: Stone Golem: So that's why they keep making remakes of the Super Nintendo games for gameboy.

Saturday, May 22, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Speak concisely. Most people will only listen to half of what you say.
Comments: Young Link: Now now you you get get the the whole whole message message while while I I am am speaking speaking twice twice.

Sunday, May 23, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Myth or fact; it doesn't really matter. Learn from both if you can.
Comments: None

Monday, May 24, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: You can measure success in dollars, but that doesn't make much sense.
Comments: Stone Golem: Yeah, that's like saying you're sucessful with a bunch of green papers with presidents on them.

Tuesday, May 25, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: For everything you don't want to do, there's someone who wants you to do it. And not from malice, either.
Comments: Bobby: Who's malice?

Wednesday, May 26, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: Unless you're quite sure of your strength, don't offer a gift to anyone who can beat you up.
Comments: mathgrant: But if it's their birthday, and you don't give them a gift, they WILL beat you up for sure. (May 26 is my birthday. YAY!) Stone Golem:

Thursday, May 27, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: 'Prepare' is a fancy word. You do not 'prepare' things that cost 50 cents.
Comments: Waluigi's Twin: What about things that cost 60 cents? Electron9186: You do if you make something and then sell it for 50 cents. Stone Golem: That's why Larry doesn't give anything to Roy. Well... like he would anyway...

Friday, May 28, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: It's usually easier to go down than up, but it can also be a lot more painful.
Comments: Young Link: Not when you are in outer space.

Saturday, May 29, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: It is not always necessary to identify the source of a problem before you can fix it... but yes, it does often help.
Comments: None

Sunday, May 30, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: A good way to prevent crime would be to make everything much larger. And without wheels.
Comments: mathgrant: An even better way is to DESTROY THE UNIVERSE!!! Young Link: Nope, if I don’t know how a problem comes to my PC, I can’t fix it.

Monday, May 31, 2004:

Lemmy's Thought: If you work on a boat, it's hard to quit.
Comments: Young Link: Try jumping down into the water.
