The Wit and Wisdom of Rudy

Our favorite quotations from 'Survivor''s Rudy Boesch

Colleen had the skankiest legs, Sean the dumbest voting strategy, Susan the worst accent, and Rudy, well, he was clearly the most philosophical. Week after week, he'd leave us with at least one universal truth to ponder. After perusing the following compendium of his geriatric gems, ask yourself this question: Rudy Boesch, grumpy old man or ... really grumpy old man?

ON GENERATION X
''The hardest part is hanging around with all these young kids. I don't even know what MTV means, you know ... Trying to keep them all shut up is hard. If they'd listen to me, they'd all have haircuts and ... we'd be in formation in the morning and all that kind of stuff. But they're not going to do that. I gotta fit in, not them, you know, there's more of them than there is of me.''

ON MAKING NEW FRIENDS
''The homosexual, he's one of the nicest guys I ever met.''

ON ISLAND MEMORIES
''When I go home, my wife asks me about who was with ya, I'll say a queer that ran around bare-ass half of the time for one thing.''

ON HIS TRIBAL COUNCIL STRATEGY
''I'm gonna vote Stacey out at the council tonight 'cause I don't like her and I never will.''

ON THE OPPOSITE SEX
''I thought about a female alliance and watching them the way they walked around hand in hand, uh, I even thought about lesbianism. But, uh, maybe not. I don't know. And, uh, it could happen if they had any brains, but I don't think they got enough brains to do that.''

ON HOSPITALITY
''All of a sudden, we doubled our population. The house got smaller. The pots got smaller. And, uh, personally, it's a pain in the ass.''

ON PURITY
''Some of the stuff they talk about don't interest me and I don't wanna hear it. I don't know, they talk about a lot of sex stuff.''

ON SPORTSMANSHIP
''I seen the light. If you want to win this money, you gotta get a little dirty.''

ON MONEY
''Money talks.''
