Whether my house was open or not, the noise was just as bad. ... It was like someone constantly pounding on the house.

David Blair

At 1:30 in the morning, here come these crazy volunteers from Virginia, pounding on the doors.

Bart Tucker

That has become the centerpiece of Bush's second term. It's really the 800-pound gorilla that affects everything else in the budget.

Darrell West

It would depend on the UK's GDP (last year). Number one the nominal GDP growth and number two the exchange rate of the British pound against the U.S. dollar.

Chen Xingdong

I was 6-3 and weighed 160 pounds, and I got to guard (Wake Forest's 6-8, 240-pound Len) Chappell.

Bud Cronin

'This is what you should grow,' he told me. 'I paid $4 a pound for this stuff.

Rich Collins

This league is getting big. We have way more 300-pound guys than ever before. That's not to say all the people in athletics who have died are 300-pound guys. There are so many different reasons.

Steve Mariucci

My heart is still pounding. It's an unbelievable feeling, especially when the clock's going down, 3-2-1, like that.

Bonzi Wells

We had all our guys run well. It was the best I've seen the line all year. They just kept pounding and pounding.

Tim Laspada

I give it up to the offensive line. Our offensive line opened up some holes, then moved on to the linebackers. The first time I was getting hit was by a cornerback or safety. It felt good to pound on those guys.

Keola Nobriga

I think the key for us defensively is how we do standing the physical pounding on their offensive line and the great running back they have in Erroll Wynn.

Domanick Davis

We talked at halftime that we weren't attacking the basket enough. They were playing out on (Michael) Brown, which means we had lanes to attack. We just had to get to the baseline or get the ball reversal to the basket. All our kids like to pound the glass. When we missed, we went and go it again.

Mike Black

I hear Charles Rogers [6-3, 202] in Detroit is pretty fast, but if you go pound-for-pound, I think I'm the fastest guy. A lot of those guys faster than me, they're like 190.

Javon Walker

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Muhammad Ali

He threw a lot of strikes, which is the main thing as a young kid. Make sure you pound the zone and get ahead of the hitters.

Rob Mackowiak

One pound of learning requires ten pounds of common sense to apply it.

Persian Proverb

Opposing coaches would shake their head every time he would run one of their backs down. They just couldn't believe a 300-pound middle linebacker could do what he did.

Tom Fisher

I'm hoping to beat Boris because I don't know if I can beat anyone who knows what they're doing, ... Boris and I are both a little bit out of our element. I figure we'll be in the middle somewhere pounding on each other.

Jeremy Mcgrath

We either have to take it in, or refuse it. If we refuse it, it really only has one other choice, and that's the dog pound. Animal control won't adopt out pit bulls.

Martha Williams

He's a 335-pound ballerina. He's so light on his feet, he could run right by you with your back to him and you wouldn't even hear him.

Bill Laveroni

We want to pound home the idea that the festival is for the entire Gulf region.

Jody Kielbasa

They're a hard line to play against because you've got Big Snake and Johnson, who are going to pound you whenever they can. They've all got excellent hands. They've all got big futures in hockey and they're all doing a great job for us in the playoffs so far.

Steve Martinson

[Not that the 5-6, 125-pound Felix looks strong.] I have athletes come up to me and say, 'She doesn't even look like an athlete,' ... She's got a little girl's body.

Renaldo Nehemiah

At that position, we typically don't have a (6-3) 220-pound guy. So the fact he's as big as he is and he's a playmaker, game time, he comes out and he just balls. It's a big thing for us to have him.

Shane Stafford

Nate has had trouble keeping his weight down. But that will not be a problem [after Jan. 15] when we pick up the 2-pound weight allowance.

Tony Salopek

For every pound that you're low, you're losing 2 percent of your fuel economy.

Andy Pomeroy

He loved the kids and felt sorry for them. He told me 'they're beautiful kids,' and he would ask me to send paper, crayons, pencils and candy for him to give them. I would buy 10-pound bags of candy - five at a time - and send them to him.

Penny Lieurance

This guy will pound the strike zone.

Mel Didier

If the poor overweight jogger only knew how far he had to run to work off the calories in a crust of bread, he might find it better in terms of pound per mile to go to a massage parlor.

Christiaan Barnard

I'm ecstatic for her. She had a great year and to see it pay off. Pound for pound, she is special.

Bob Lecours

If you try to be passive against Jake, he'll pound you. You fall asleep against Greg and he'll fold you up. You get the best of both worlds with the two of them.

Aaron Biggs

We kept pounding it in to her and they couldn't stop her. Our energy was up from the tip and we intimidated our opponent. We kept it going all game.

Marissa Coleman

We may try and pound it out to open up the passing game. We run the ball pretty well.

Bruce Matthews

We knew they were going to be a different team out there today. At one point they were just pound-for-pound better than us.

Andy Cameron

The desserts we serve are all fresh homemade. We have homemade cobblers, lemon, coconut and pecan pies and pound cake.

Donna Davis

We played horrible (in the first half) and we didn't want a repeat of last year. Once we got that lead, we just kept pounding and pounding. We weren't going to let up tonight. It was a huge confidence-booster.

Dan Toombs

We have to start strong and finish strong. Once you get on top of somebody, you have to keep pounding them with what you've been doing.

Jamie Thompson

He'd knock over bits of the set because he couldn't really see, ... He had the 8-pound head on.

Lena Headey

If you protect children's health, you will almost, by definition, protect adults because children are more vulnerable. If there is a toxin in the air, a child will be exposed to more of that toxin simply because they breathe more pound for pound.

Laura Weiss

You can't ignore the 800-pound gorilla: There's no shortage of post-9/11 jitters. I don't think anybody likes sitting down next to a stranger for five hours.

Wes Craven

That's why we do it. No one wants to put on a wool uniform and march in hot weather and no one wants to carry a 20-pound drum around.

Cheri Sleeper

The rain and cooler weather keep bees from working. We will not have a billion-pound crop this year.

Chester Andrew

There's a lot less pounding. I'll take my chances against 185-pound defensive backs.

Darrell Blackman

Government is the 800-pound gorilla in the room — the problem with getting in bed with it, it sometimes rolls over on you. Federal money always comes with strings.

Mike Tanner

That's when you've got your best chance to catch those 28- or 30-pound bags (five-fish limits). That's when you can get on one bank and win a tournament in 15 minutes.

Davy Hite

I was one of the first ones down there and if I could have gotten a hand on him, I would have brought him down, but he is a pretty athletic guy. That's what happens when you get a bunch of 300-pound guys trying to bring down a 200-pound guy.

Justin Smiley

An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

Elbert Hubbard

December coffee futures have rallied about 10% in the past three days to $1.05 a pound from a low of 95 cents on Monday in response to the hurricane damage.

Chris Kraft

They were just too physical for us, I think. They just kept pounding the ball inside and made plays.

C.j. Watson

We thought we could throw the ball a bit and mix in the run. We thought we'd pound their defensive line.

Dan Kreider

There's a lot of pounding that goes on in the post and I've never been afraid to throw my weight around.

Matt Fannin

We would be lucky if we see even five pence (9 cents) in the pound ($1.82). That's probably understating it.

John Alexander

Some of the old timers might be offended but they have to understand personnel now. You have 250-pound guys who can run the ball. The difference between skill positions is dramatic.

Ara Parseghian

If you're going to have 50-pound sacks thrown out of the door of the aircraft, you've got to have someone on the ground clearing the people out of the area where they're going to fall so they don't hit people.

Larry Thompson

Somebody outside grabbed me and started pounding on me again.

Greg Darnell

It's terrible for a town like Newtown to have a pound that's so antiquated.

Virginia Jess

So what am I supposed to do when my 110-pound waitress tells a 450-pound Paul Bunyan not to light up and he does it anyway? Am I supposed to arrest the guy?

Frank Watkins

They found a 2.7-pound tumor on his left lung. It was fiber sarcoma.

Joanne Daane

I just think they made the adjustment by pounding the ball inside with strength.

Tyrone Brown

Dell has done so well that it's become an 800-pound gorilla. But it's hard to grow an 800-pound gorilla.

Toni Duboise

It was the best 300-pound investment I ever made.

Jesse Spencer

It was more of getting a rhythm and getting strike one. Getting strike one on a hitter makes it easier. I was pounding the fastball in there, keeping it down on the inner half and the outer half.

John Koronka

We really just couldn't run the football tonight. Without being able to pound the ball on offense, it makes it tough on everyone. I believe that's why the defense gave up 28 points out of the 30 and started cramping up.

Danny Embick

Those dogs were his pals, ... Hearing the news was like a 500-pound weight hitting me in the stomach. It breaks my heart. He was one of the most caring, honest, ethical people I've met in my 59 years.

Charles Yesalis

The effort was outstanding. I think we wore them down and I think we were in better condition than they were. We kept pounding away at them. That was our game plan, pound, pound, pound.

Kevin Gustafson

This expands our awareness. And this is like the most interesting for us because it's not pounding nails or something.

Holly Martin

I'm proud of what we did. When we got it to six (points) in the middle of the fourth quarter, our kids did what we had to do. We started pounding inside and it changed the game, then we went outside again.

Don Brady

We had already taken the lifesaving merit badge, so we knew what to do. At first, I thought it was a little girl, but when we got to him we could see it was, like, a 250-pound man.

Tyler Brown

My heart was pounding. I knew if I won I would have the lead, ... and not just a lead, but a good lead.

Raul Rodriguez

Our defense was just on the field too long. After a while, you can get worn down, and maybe we did. We have got to get better on the defensive front so people can't pound the ball down our throats.

Bobby Humphries

Alcohol is a diuretic, and the pounding headaches and furry tongue are caused by dehydration, so replacing this lost water is essential.

Claire Williamson

This year we'll be fighting for every pound.

Andrew Higginson

This is the first time all year that we played a complete baseball game. This was a fun baseball game to win and a tough one to lose. Pound played a good game and my hat goes off to them. This is a quality win for us.

Jerry Stanley

It's a lighter breading, ... It's definitely a better piece of meat than a lot of places. If you're going to take it and pound the meat, you'll buy inferior meat. We use a lean product to begin with.

Fred Schmidt

Pound for pound Kayla is one of the best players you'll find. Her dedication and effort to the game is second to none.

Darris Olson

Our strength is down low in the post. I like to pound it inside. When we do that it opens it up for our guards. And our guards, when they take it in the lane, are awfully tough to defend.

Mike Showalter

We wanted to pound it inside a lot and we did that.

Carmen Hines

Obviously he lives with his dogs and takes good care of them, they are much better off with him than in a crowded dog pound.

Francesca Cantalini

Tomatoes were close to $50 for a 25-pound box two to three weeks ago. Now, they?re $18 to $20.

Steve Burkholder

If improved competitiveness is our goal, it may be penny-wise but pound-foolish to cut the successful Manufacturing Extension Partnership by more than half.

Dorothy Coleman

Pound for pound, Henry is probably one of the strongest guys on the team. We count on him being very physical and running that defense.

Mike Rippee

The best size turkey to get is a 10-pound turkey, because it cooks better. But, shoppers can get any size they want.

Mable Beaman

As state of the art as the Truman Sports Complex was, it's going to be even better. We'll have a jewel that everybody in the community will be pound of.

Dan Glass

He said, `How do you feel about kissing a 300-pound transvestite?' And I thought about it for a minute. I thought, `I'm sure I've kissed a heck of a lot worse,' ... Divine was one of my favorite leading ladies.

Tab Hunter

I know what it's like to be poor. I know the value of a dollar and the value of three cents a pound (of cotton).

Susan Parker

When people see pound signs or dollar signs or euro signs it allows them to think about that rather than what the bigger picture is.

Jade Johnson

Offensively, ... we thought our size gave us an advantage. We wanted to pound the football all game.

Derrick Adams

And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,/ And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart.

Edward Lear

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea/ In a beautiful pea-green boat,/ They took some honey, and plenty of money,/ Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

Edward Lear

I have seen a guy try to pound a pencil through his head because we interrupted a meeting.

Edward Appelson

In one fell swoop they have become the 800 pound gorilla in another interactive entertainment industry.

Evan Wilson

I was completely knocked out. I know I wouldn't have woken up if I hadn't heard them pounding on my window.

Eric Reuel

It's the second straight night we have had a lot of opportunities and haven't been able to capitalize. But if we keep pounding away, hopefully we'll be able to break through. We're in as good a situation as we could have hoped.

Eric Karros

When we came in here, we knew we were going to pound it in. We also were able to finish under the basket in the second half.

Emily Faught

We use two different-sized loads. One is an eight-pound load, and one is a load that fills the machine to its maximum capacity. We do this to see how the machine performs in everyday use.

Emilio Gonzalez

Jamie is really pounding the ball. She's been getting big hits for us all season.

Emily Martin
