Etching Your Name in Stone

I received a very interesting gift this Holiday season from my mother. She got wind of the fact the Cubs were selling bricks as part of their “Brick Paver Program.” These bricks will be installed permanently around Wrigley Field causing many folks to peruse two city blocks full of small rectangular-shaped items with a message etched in each one. I received my notice in the mail and have until Sunday to decide what I want my brick to say. The trick is that you are limited to three lines with no more than 15 characters on each line including spaces and punctuation, and invariably the last line is your full name, so you have two lines to get creative. Man, have I had one hell of a time brainstorming, and I am stumped. As you will see below, I have not had any trouble coming up with your “not-so-original” lines. I have also had a good time figuring out what some celebrities might say if they were afforded this opportunity. The Not-So-Original Bricks
