While searching my name again, in continuation from my previous thread I found this:

http://www.geocities.com/vpunathambekar/quotes.html

Search for Alex Barylski...there is my favorite personal quote...which I trademarked so don't steal it!!!

I've said that since I was like 11 years old...whenever I'd do somethng bad to get back at someone who did something wrong first, my mother would always say: "Two wrongs don't make right"

And I would quickly reply: "Nope, but three lefts do" being a smarta$$ and all :P

And now I've been immortialized...forvere and ever... :cry:

I can die a happy man now... :P

Just kidding... *knocks on wood*

There is much I wish to accomplish before expiring... :)

I know that guy from the codeproject forums...as I recognize his name...I used to have that satying as my signature...which is where he obviously got it from...I wonder if he knows that Alex Barylski is me...aka Hockey...aka HockeyDude... :)

I'm right up there amongst the likes of Christina Aguilera??? :?

Cheers :)

Sorry, but its been copyrighted. It was included in a song by the band 2nu (an obscure band that is a favorite of mine), called "Spaz Attack".

Helga, the pony woman (A fully beautiful, tightly wrapped, venus demilo lookalike, whose cat runs wild) tells Nardo Polo (The greatest marble player that has ever lived) that two wrongs don't make a right, but three do.

You can download the full song for free, legally, here: http://www.2nu2.com/music.html

It came out in 1991, and lemme tell ya, its one funky song.

I had an article (my first posted on codeproject) translated in some asian language...although I found it by accident...no one ever contacted me...

buggers :)

Flattering and yet offensive...so I just ignored it...

Ah, but using a saying doesn't give standing.

Publishing, on the other hand, does. Were you a young poet, published in middle school? :)

Odds say not. :)

Its a very common saying, but I always think of the song when I see your sig. It cracks me up. I had no idea you dated Helga, the pony woman.

Better watch out, that saying was used in vaudville routines many, many decades ago before TV or film. ;)

In what films?

Copyrights expire in like 20 years...not sure if you can re-copyright...but I don't really care :)

It's my saying darnit!!! mine...all mine... :lol:

Now I just have to get my other 2 sayings published...or some form of citation or recognition...and i'll switch careers from programmer to philosopher... :P

Cheers :)

I did actually once win an award for writting...but not for that saying...some ghey little story I wrote in a pinch to avoid getting in trouble...

Thats my life story...I swear...I did that 2 or 3 times in my illustrious school career

Once in like gr. 3 for a poem I wrote
Once in gr. 7 or 8 I did a science fare project on aircraft and wing design and won first place...took me all of a day...and I estimated the numbers I didn't even actually measure distances travelled by paper planes...

My friend who did a project on hand soap...and took months wasn't pleased when I won...and tried to rat me out...telling teachers it took me all but a day :P

I took Bronze at provincials...but still...

I love remembering that story... :P
