They all picked on me. It was survival of the fittest.

Roland Kampmeier

People have been asking me to declare my stand, whether I will go for the top seat. I want to say that when the opportunity comes, I will offer myself for the LDP presidential nomination. I will go for the top seat if picked by my party.

Raila Odinga

I assume that when you picked up the butcher knife, you were prepared to use it.

Steve Mottinger

We just picked it up and started playing good belly-to-belly defense. We picked up the intensity and started making things happen.

Rick Soracco

John and Travis made the play on the quarterback and Justin picked up the ball and made a nice cutback move. Scoring on defense was huge.

Aaron Stiegeler

We were probably at about 35 percent across the district. I'm not real sure why the district picked these days to have school.

Shaun Rinier

A lot depends on what-ifs. A lot of people picked us to win, so we won't disappoint them.

Bill Fetters

I had that L.A. mentality, I shredded the garbage and I had picked a house that was isolated.

Lauren Holly

We had different kids step up this time that didn't last time and that was the difference in us getting the win. Keeping the matches closer we picked up a couple of extra bonus points that we missed last time.

Brian Martel

We hadn't faced a lot of teams that pressured us and picked us up at half court.

Josh Hartman

You couldn't have picked a better day for spring break.

Steve Terry

Half the stocks I picked are up and half of them are down.

Leon Cooperman

The Ministerial Alliance picked up that concept ... and brought it to the attention of both hospitals and physicians who were interested.

Mike Potter

We were the underdogs. Nobody picked us to win that game. We played our hearts out. That's a memory that will stick with me the rest of my life.

Donell Taylor

It's really a mixture of what George was working on and developing before he left and what I picked up and have been working on developing, including plays I have brought in.

Oskar Eustis

Tonight was one of our better defensive games, from start to finish. We fed off of our defense, and then offensively we just kind of picked them apart.

Scott Padgett

(The line) got after them, that was a big thing for us. Vincent Simmons picked up some tough yards for us up the middle.

Dan Fauser

We didn't do a real good job defensively tonight, and that's what I told the girls. We picked a bad night to play poorly defensively.

Shari Schau

There is a lot of historical information that you might have not have ever picked up if you were a baseball fan like we are.

Carol Ryan

It's just a way for students here to show pride in the FFA. The officers picked something different for them to wear and do every day.

Abby Flaherty

They really picked the wrong person to mess with. But then again, they picked the right person.

Jason Bogle

Replacing (Antoine) has been very difficult and these girls have really picked up the things she did — not just one individual but everybody. ... We just had to deal with it — come in and gut it out.

John Godbey

One of the reasons we picked each guy on this team is we wanted a bunch of fighters, guys that could be resilient.

Kenny Williams

Martin didn't even have a chance. They picked on him so much, 'til they murdered my baby.

Gina Jones

I want to win every game, and I wanted to leave our senior game on top. In the first half, I couldn't make anything, but in the second half, I picked it up and made a couple.

Marckus Boswell

In the past, the unemployment has been more blue-collar, and people laid off were more likely to be brought back when the economy picked up, ... This one has been more white-collar than ever.

Robert Mcteer

It's a lot like what they do on the border. They'll try to send 70 cars through thinking a few are going to get picked off and that it's a cost of doing business.

James Parker

It was a beautiful line drive, it just picked up speed and kept going. This gives us great momentum going into (Friday's game) at Milton.

Kathy Smelstor

I think our legal team really picked it apart pretty effectively. There was some fuzzy math going on in there.

Karen Schultz

We picked three-man so we could spray their helmets red, white and blue, for America.

Brandi Brown

It's clear they had a big support network and one that has managed to function without creating any chatter that the security services picked up. And almost certainly, this is only the tip of the iceberg. They can strike again.

Michael Clarke

We will employ about 20 local employees. We're still taking applications for salespeople and laborers. Applications can be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce office or City Hall.

Jason Bennett

Everything we have is everything we love - it's basically like we picked for our homes and then just put it for sale in a store.

Helena Christensen

Our guards really picked up the pressure and Libby struggled to keep control of the ball. And we started getting the ball inside on offense and getting to the free throw line.

Nate Hammond

We just picked up our defensive play and that gave us momentum on offense.

Steve Richardson

What — is Monday the day the recycle bins are picked up at Isleworth?

Mike Bianchi

[The bullpen] picked me up when I had a horrible day. I'm just glad we have a staff that can do that and not just rely on our starters.

Ike Davis

We were looking for experience when we picked the team.

Kiran More

The violin came naturally, and it really fit me. When I picked it up (and placed it under the chin), it looked like it had grown there. It just fit.

Miriam Burns

He took off his diaper himself and we told him to put it in the trash. And he did, he picked it up and put it in the trash, and that was the first time he ever did that, so we were celebrating, jumping up and down.

Jeff Larson

I can count on my top three, and the other guys have picked it up. In cross country, depth is dangerous.

Joe Siecinski

His sister picked up a lot of the slack for care of his mom. His nephew, Daniel Miller, helped keep an eye on the farm. Steven and Nicholas helped with feeding and caring for the dogs.

Amanda Smith

She's picked all those areas up. Her scoring is pretty much where it was, but there is more of her going to the hoop and the foul line. She's really picked up her defense and rebounding.

Bill Cleary

Sales have probably picked up a bit, ... People who live in The Villages and have never had a cart have come in and bought one.

Kyle Johnson

We lost some players, mostly through injuries picked up last year.

Rassie Erasmus

One of the first things was these little tape measures. Advertising tape measures that I picked up at a garage sale for a quarter apiece, ... and they brought $22. And that hooked me right there.

Judy Williams

It's dwindling big time. We have more going out today. These people are linking up with families and mainly going out of town, being picked up by family or going by bus. Some, I'm sure, have gone into housing and then some families have been adopted by local families.

Nedra Turney

I knew I had a few options, but I didn't think I'd have that many. Hopefully, by the weekend I can have it picked.

Steve Mcnees

The feeling I picked up from the team was that we could go out and put more goals in.

Michael Gillman

I just picked it up, didn't move my feet and forgot everything I ever learned in my life.

Brendan Donnelly

On that basis both our sides should do well in the competition. Our aim is to do well in the competition we've picked two even sides as opposed to A and B teams.

Wayne Pivac

There's no question that we were not expected to be there. We weren't picked to be in the top two or three in the Southeastern Conference. With nobody over 6-5, there was no way we were going to be there, so looking back, we did accomplish a great deal.

Larry Conley

We just picked it up on defense. It was really a good stretch that we had and got the lead.

Anthony Tolliver

I had him gelded after his last start and it's taken him a while to get over that. He's doing well and has some talent, but he has to get himself back into the game. I've got nothing picked out for him just yet.

Frank Brothers

I picked Huntington because they are a Christian college and they fit my needs. The have a great program, with great guys and a great coaching staff. I really felt like I fit in there.

Kevin Kyle

Even if we had somebody hand-picked who we wanted to replace Bob Ney, we couldn't do it anyway. But that's not the case. Bob Ney is our endorsed candidate.

John Mcclelland

The guy who picked her up was named Rick, and it took her a couple of days to even remember that.

Theresa Campbell

The winds picked up sooner than expected.

Richard Binzel

Bob Menendez voted countless times against a national energy policy, I am not denying that Kean picked up contributions from oil companies.

Jill Hazelbaker

I personally am disappointed that the ball was picked up so quickly and then that it was dropped so quickly.

Teresa Hostetler

I know now is not the time to keep your head down. My teammates and coaches picked me back up.

Jamey Gelhar

If you're not good at sports, that's OK. Not everyone is. But you still need to be active. That's what's so great about Grandma's class: No one's going to get picked last.

Katie Quinn

There's a subtle undertow here about buy America, ... This bill has picked up a little bit of steam because of that.

Cliff Stearns

Almost what we expected. We picked up some bonus points along the way. It gets difficult tomorrow as it should.

Larry Shaw

I picked up the writing on the very day he died. It was the only consolation I could find.

Wilfrid Sheed

Carol's record of leadership and accomplishment speaks for itself. Her intimate knowledge of the JCC and of this community is unparalleled. I have complete confidence that we picked the best candidate for this job.

Lee Abraham

It could have happened to anyone. He just picked the wrong people walking down the street.

Ales Dvorak

We got off to a slow start offensively but picked it up in the second half. We had better ball movement and that led to easy shots. The second half defense was also much better than the first half.

Bob Morris

I have not picked up yet and still need time to get back my usual pace. The match was not that tough and we should actually have won by a much bigger margin given the chances we created.

Dennis Oliech

It was great to have the crowd here because they really picked us up and got us over the hump.

Marquis Taylor

It hurt but you pick yourself up and move on like nothing happened' - about not getting picked on Starsearch as a child.

Aaliyah

Many people would have given up but he picked up the pieces and look, he is going to his second consecutive Commonwealth Games. That takes guts.

Nasra Shehan

We just didn't play together. We picked the wrong game of the year not to play together.

Ken Flowers

Everyone picked each other up.

Rob Nosari

That's our key, our defense. We may give up some easy ones to taller teams, but we'll also create a lot of opportunities with our speed. Today was no different. Our defense was OK in the first half but we really picked it up after halftime.

Austin Peebles

I picked on some good places that are friends of mine, ... It's a great privilege for me to see them.

Jimmy Bennett

Looking at it over the last few games, the team has - more or less - picked itself. So I think people can look forward to more of the same.

Tommy Burns

The most important thing right now is making sure all of the debris is picked up.

Matt Mccoy

We hit some shots and picked it up defensively and they didn't match us.

Bobby Howard

We're hoping, of course, it's going to be fairly minimal since a lot of that fruit had already been picked.

Casey Pace

We are looking at various possibilities as to how the device got there, including that it was picked up by people looking for scrap.

Captain Mali Govender

If you want to peak at any time of the year, we picked the good time to do it. It finally happened, and I believe it was a matter of confidence. They have it now.

Jon Yackmack

If you had said to me, 'You get 4,100 jobs', I would have said, 'Boy, that's fabulous'. But if you said to me, 'And you get to pick what kinds of jobs they are', we couldn't have picked better stuff in terms of the industries we're trying to grow.

Joe Krier

Our social life has definitely picked up.

Bob Larson

We picked up nearly 18 inches from that storm, and Rochester got two feet. That storm impacted 90 million people.

Tom Niziol

So, in a matter of I think 15 or 20 minutes, we have five truants picked up.

Sgt. Stuart Helmer

I don't even have advice; I have praise. She picked a great play.

Mario Cantone

We planned to be physical, but we didn't think Arapahoe would be that physical. They picked it up when they saw how rough we were going to be.

Brandon Runkle

Illinois is going to give teams a run for their money. They picked up a new system very fast. It's only week three.

Donnie Mccleskey

He picked the wrong day, really, because those are the two biggest guys on the crew and that's who he had to run through.

Don Bruno

Morales is a kid that gets limited at bats but he picked up three hits and the big grand slam. Clay (Glover) hit the ball hard four times today and we need to find a way to get him in the lineup. We have three or four guys that are really (designated hitters), so we have to be able to get his bat out there on a daily basis.

Mark Pollard

Probably about four people out of the cast had picked up a sword before.

Kara Wooten

He picked it up, draped it round my shoulders and said, 'That's better, now you look like a real member of The Sweeney'.

John Thaw

She's our best defender and has picked it up on both ends of the floor.

Phil Thomas

This is what the IRS called 'limited implementation,' because this is the first contract they've let for the service. They picked the best agencies to work out the bugs in 18 to 24 months.

Tom Penaluna

Patrick's enthusiasm is contagious. He is what you want kids to feel like when they are picked for this kind of event. And the kid can play at the very highest level.

Sonny Vaccaro

That is how we can play. We picked up the intensity.

Terry Gray

We picked up the intensity in the fourth quarter and outscored Marshall, but it wasn't quite enough to make up the deficit.

Lynnette Creed

The chopper market is nice. It's definitely a different market. Those full-blown choppers are a lot more radical, with the front end all raked out. We want to give our customers options, so we picked up the custom Vengeance line.

Gregory Faiella

You could feel the house tearing apart. We felt it when it picked us up, and we felt it when it put us down.

Betty Sisk

The little old lady in Switzerland who by mistake had given a contribution to someone she didn't know to an orphanage in Afghanistan, could be picked up by the United States as an enemy combatant. That's really a shocking thing.

Thomas Wilner

The pace of the game really picked up in the third quarter. That's the way we like to play the entire game.

Dave Neier

I just picked the club I could make the smoothest swing with, ... I knew my hand would fall off the club at impact. I had no power, no feeling. I can't guarantee I'll be here tomorrow.

Robert Allenby

I thought we really picked up the defensive intensity in the second half. They are so big and you have to hold them to one shot and we were able to do that in the game.

Keith Mcqueen

The market has picked up quickly this year. Properties are selling more quickly and stock levels are declining.

Miles Shipside

The rest of the girls picked it up in the second half. We drove hard to the basket, did a better job shooting and screened well, but I was happiest with our intensity-that was the difference in the game.

Bary Judd

It was something we saw in films. It's just something we picked up.

Frank Pagliuca

I felt like there's a lot of kids that could have played quarterback. We picked (Doolittle) because he's a big kid, got a great arm and he runs the offense that we're going to be using.

John Abercrombie

If one of our kids was having a bad night, somebody else picked us up. It didn't seem to matter who scored the most points. There was no selfishness or anything that really bothered any of the kids.

Jim Hogan

They came down and hit a big 3 on us and that just changed the momentum and gave them a lot of confidence. They picked up their intensity late in the game and made it tough on us, so you've got to give them credit.

Tracey Hammel

We have picked up the pace pretty substantially. It is surprising the forecasters.

Art Ayre

John has picked up the offense pretty well for us.

Arrington Jones

I have a stubborn personality. I'm not sure if I get it from anyone in my family. It's just a natural tendency I've picked up over the years.

Kait Cook

We didn't give them any breathing room. This morning we seemed a little slow. But then things picked up.

Nate Emge

I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all.

Dwight Gooden

If children are picked up (diagnosed) earlier in the course of their illness they should do better because they will be referred to hospital more quickly.

Dr. Matthew Thompson

I don't know what I was trying to get out of a tenor - but it never really satisfied me until one day I picked up my alto and I said, "Where have you been?" and I said right here for now on!

Jerome Richardson

The biggest key was the determination of the kids. You don't need to say much to them. They know when they're not playing well. We just picked up the pace.

Kraig Terpstra

It is alleged on one of the incidents in May 2005, the defendant picked up the student in her vehicle and drove that student to the home and that some sexual activity did take place there.

Melissa O'rourke

It became natural for him. It wasn't long before he picked it up and he had the stroke down. We flipped him around to right-handed at age 13 and he did OK. But he was definitely better left-handed.

Larry Hermida

Other teams have problems deciding who will be picked, we have problems deciding who will be left out. Some very good players will miss out because we can only take 23.

Carlos Alberto Parreira

He's certainly done well enough where he should have been picked somewhere. He has done a nice job.

Ted Thompson

I think he showed a lot of guts today because they came to him, and he had every excuse to chuck it in. He went 1:11.05 (for 6 furlongs) and picked it up to 1:34.81 (for 1 mile) and finished really well.

Jerry Hollendorfer

He's an athletic type of person, he's picked it up very easily.

Mike Walsh

He was just in shock, didn't know which way to turn. He's a changed young man, forever. I don't think he picked up a basketball all June, July or August.

Bob Leckie

We have limited storage space, so we try to have it picked up every three to four months.

Stuart Anderson

It picked us up some. It was a real good win for us.

Paul Ernest

I picked up a check for $15,000 this morning from Handcrafted Homes in Henderson.

Rick Norwood

Our main goal was just to get bowl eligible and make it to any bowl that would accept us. We really appreciated that the Charlotte bowl picked us up.

Marcus Stone

This is one issue we are quite shocked that we have to fight so hard to get final passage. By filing suit, networks have picked a fight with American families.

Lanier Swann

With all the kids and all the trash, it's going to be a nightmare if our trash isn't picked up.

Terry Davis

They picked the wrong doctor to go after this time. I will fight this all the way, not even just for me. I am fighting for every doctor afraid to open their mouth and speak the truth because of fears of this happening.

Terry Bennett

This year could be like 1974, when Democrats picked up 44 seats.

Del Ali

It was a pretty hard game. Carlsbad came out, and they were ready. Then we picked it up.

Marquis Navarre

She paid it all off, but somebody never picked up on that.

Christopher Plourd

[The Gators] really picked it up. I was surprised they came back. I was excited for them.

Shandra Brooks

We picked a squad for the one-day series and we'll be sticking to it.

Bennett King

It was so cool. We got to see how she interprets and how she imagines it. She picked little things, but made us sound so much better.

Samantha Fox

I wasn't sure whether it was going green or not, ... but I told myself that when I picked up the throttle at the beginning of the straight, I wasn't going to lift until [the officials] decided what they were going to do. So I had a good run on J.R.

John Lombardo

They walked our site and flew (over) our site and gave us choices of different holes in the areas we wanted them, and then we picked.

Bill Ranguette

It was a combination of people I've been involved with - my high school coach and especially my college coach, who instilled a lot of character. I picked up on a lot of different things that worked for me in high school and college that fit into the type person I was - and the girls bought into it.

Pamela N. Holloway

You gotta win ugly sometimes. They made a lot of shots and that created some anxiety. But we fought through it. We talked a lot about picking up our intensity. Our defense really picked it up.

Jim Miranda

We picked it up defensively, created a lot of good things for ourselves and you could see their eyes widening with a few deflections here and there. They just got hungrier and hungrier.

Tracey Hammel

With the field goal team out there, there were no defensive backs or wide receivers. You're out there with the big boys. I picked up some great blocks from everybody out there.

Nathan Vasher

It's a great opportunity for me. It's a second tier team, but if I do well there is a good chance I'll get picked up by a team in their national league.

Tina Donahue

If police had picked you up, we wouldn't be talking right now.

Dwight Gooden

I'm one of the few people that picked Indiana to upset Duke. They pop some threes, they can beat anybody.

Steve Blake

Since we picked the scrub jay this year it was only natural to work with Oscar Scherer. The Florida scrub here is the most endangered environment in America.

Brett Nelson

We've pretty much picked over everything and put out the best--so that's probably why.

Barbara Frost

Each game we got a little better in our passing, except for the finals. We picked it up in the second half. We had lots of chances and should have scored.

John Lawhon

A helicopter from Port Elizabeth was dispatched and it picked me up along the way. When we arrived, she had already been darted but was waking up.

Bool Smuts

My daughter and I had never seen the ocean. They picked us up on the bus and took us to Cape Cod. That bus is the most beautiful vehicle I have ever seen.

Kelly Nichols

I would have picked up the artificial heart and thrown it on the floor and walked out and said he's dead if the press had not been there.

Dr. William C. Devries

These companies will compete to be picked, and we'll pick whoever offers the package that better benefits the patient.

John Barton

Her mother came and picked her up.

Wayne Alexander

We pick in Sun City only. And we've picked at least 600 different homes and some of them several times, over the course of the years. We've picked over a half-million pounds since we began.

Melanie Noteboom

I have been very impressed with how rapidly she has picked up on these issues.

Jesse Reynolds

An ugly win is better than a pretty loss. We didn't play as well as would have liked in the first half, but we picked up the intensity in the last two quarters.

Chris Whitt

The wins haven't picked up, but the quality of his stuff has been very good.

Guy Hansen

I think he probably picked up a good three percent of the votes and probably cements his [win] if they hold another election against Hoffa.

Stephen Klein

I was thankful. I picked out one suit, and he said, 'How many colors do you have?' I was embarrassed to pick more, but I got three nice-looking suits.

Jeff Fiorentino

This is my last season, and I didn't want to lose a game at home. So I had to step up and be a leader. I just picked the perfect time to step up.

Patrick Beverley

We started playing together, and we picked it up intensity wise.

Ashlee Smith

It was great out there and it was a personal best for me. The sport has picked up a lot in last few years and Indians are doing so well in it.

Gagan Narang

As of Wednesday evening, five navy vessels have picked up 118 people from the sea, while one man was found dead.

Frans Salem

Defensively, we picked it up and got some easy steals.

Al Edwards

Our intensity level wasn't where it needed to be. We were sluggish, then we picked it up, then we were sluggish again.

John Hufford

Joey wrestled very well before the injury and has picked up where he left off.

Brian Kapusta

I picked her up and was carrying her around.

Lorrie James

We look at it as a great honor. With all the great teams in Florida, we were picked. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our kids.

Bill Castle

The kids are really adjusting well. They've picked it up faster than we imagined.

Craig Kozens

They picked up the pace for us defensively.

Sean Dillon

We had to work hard for our first two or three goals and then we kind of broke it open. We were only leading 3-1 at halftime but we kind of picked it up in the second half. We were able to get everybody involved and give everyone a chance to shine a little bit.

Matt Chapman

I picked the hardest thing to write about. It makes people uncomfortable. I never want to hurt anyone's feelings. I do want people to know the truth.

Marybeth Hagan

African bees don't like to be picked up and moved. It's going to take a major shift in our management practices.

David Tarpy

I picked Mike because I know his talents as a creative artist.

David Shulman

I haven't picked up a racquet in two weeks. I just played the best I could.

Lauren Miller

Bruno (Heller) deliberately picked out stuff which is shocking, arresting, surprising.

Jonathan Stamp

That baton was handed to them and now they have to hand off the baton to the juniors. It's tradition and they've picked it up and ran with it.

Pam Adams

I picked the disciplinary action.

Tony Stanfield

It went well. I have a feeling the students were more interested in having lunch, but a couple of people picked up packets.

Damian Breaux

These kids were so bright and mature. They had been hand picked by their teachers and were such a help to us.

Kay Scruggs

At the beginning of the year, I think everybody picked us to be last. It's something that we never thought. But we've proved what everyone expected, I guess.

Barret Jackman

We're trying to determine who the two men were who arranged to have the vehicle picked up and crushed.

Sonny Jackson

We watched film over and over and saw how they sag on me, and Jenna gave me the confidence to do what we had to do. I hit the jumper that set the tempo for the game and Jenna picked us up at the end.

Kristina Coppolino

When I came on, last year's coach had already picked captains. And they have been nothing but exceptional.

Rachel Maraio

It's something that I've been really excited about for the past week. I've kind of picked the brains of some friends on other teams - 'Who did you vote for, what's going on?' - and I had a good feeling about it, but you never know. There's a lot of deserving guys who don't get in.

Josh Bidwell

They picked the site. That is a very critical part to this. This company has done its homework.

Craig Lesser

I was surprised I was picked, it's very unexpected. It's just something that I do.

Paul Erickson

Things went kind of slow for them midway through the season, but they have picked things up the last couple of weeks. They've been very good the last few weeks.

Van Holt

They picked something very politically charged, ... But it was somewhat disingenuous because the general plan has nothing to do with property tax.

Brandon Cox

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Aaron Carter

The buildings were shaking, I think, when we came down that street. The crowds just picked us up and carried us.

Dick Hoyt

The intensity really picked up in the second half. We really had to come in here and slow down their outside game.

Ronald Moragne

She said that he picked up her son and threw him on the floor. He said that the little boy had fell off the couch, but that she had threw his little girl.

Demetra Blevins

I am so excited and pleased. It's a big honor to be the first book picked.

Chitra Divakaruni

It was a great effort in the fourth quarter. We picked up the tempo, ran a little bit and got some easy baskets.

David Mirly

I only picked off one pass, but that is because teams stopped throwing my way.

Cameron Nelson

We picked up our defense. I'm happy with our girls in that regard.

Terry Mancini

Is that because of day trading, or is it just that [investors] picked the wrong stocks, ... They're buying and selling stocks in the most efficient manner.

Harvey Houtkin
