Ronnie B Quotes: The Game

As the Ron and Fez Show comes to an end, and Fez Whatley rides off into the retirement sunset we wanted to honor a great man, with great quotes.  The one and only Ron Bennington.  The tradition started when Wackback's own LiddyRules, started the infamous Ron Bennington's Line of the Day, a true treasure trove of the greatness of Ronnie B. That tradition was followed by @RonnieBQuotes where lines under 140 characters could be memorialized and enjoyed for at least a short period of time.  We've taken quotes from 2014-2015 to see if you can correctly decide the missing word.  Be careful there are some decoy phrases hiding amongst the correct answers.  Good luck and good quotes.
