Favorite quotes? Let's hear em!

I love what Melchett said to BlackAdder when they were captured in BlackAdder II:

"As private parts to the Gods are we, who play with us for their sport!"

And, trying not to be political, one Chechen's view of Vladimir Putin:

"The problem with Putin, is that he is very small. So the distance from his heart to his a**hole is too little."

Good stuff, y'all.

Take care.

That last one unfortunately isn't mine....I read it many years ago in some documents from a Quake 1 modification.

I did make one from working on cars:

"It's never easy."

It's proven true more times than not...basically, we'd buy some car parts to step it up a notch or two, think "oh man, this is only going to take two guys and a few hours...no sweat." Every single time it took us almost a full day and all the resources and manpower we had. I'm sure it would have gone 10x as easy the second time, but, with the mod already in place, it was sort of pointless to do it a second time.

Sometimes we will yell out "KAHHNNNNNN!!!!" when something goes wrong.

My TCU crew's latest quote is "Look! Time sphincter!!" which is derived from the movie zathura.

That was a favorite of my father's.
he always said/wrote it illegitimae non carborundum.

The "correct" form is "Illegitimis non carborundum". Literally, 'By the illegitimate don't be (carborundum) abraded/ground down'.

Carborundum in this context is a joke, it isn't an old Latin word, although it looks like it. The suffix -und- or -and- or -end- refers to something that must be done, as in "Carthago delenda est", Carthage must be destroyed.

"The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers. Only the government and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws."
-- Edward Abbey

"The rapid sequential pulsation's of an M16 held tight in my hands,
virtually spitting out a torrent of lead, is truly ballistic heaven. My idea

Full auto is music to my ears and a sensual serenade to every bone, muscle
and nerve in my body."
