The Eldritch Mr. Shiny |
Post funny and/or intersting quotes here. In this thread.
Example:
Context- A nationally ranked runner by the name of Lee Berube lives in the same town that I do. (He went to high school with me.) I was taping a community event honoring him, and happened to see that he was standing under a GIGANTIC sign proclaiming all sorts of glorious things about him.
Me: "Hey, Lee. You like your sign?"
Lee: "Yeah. It's big. It's a big sign. I like it."
He doesn't exactly have the greatest powers of observation.

My favorite quotes come from Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde and William Blake.
William Blake;
"He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence."
"Those who restrain their desires, do so becauses their desires are weak enough to be restrained."
"The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."
Mark Twain;
"Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more."
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
Oscar Wilde;
"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live."
"Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason."
"I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world."

I love me some Twain.
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
“Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.”
“Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.”
“Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.”
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.”
“In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination.”
“The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.”

I like the druggy downtown kids
who spraypaint walls and trains
I like their lack of training,
their primitive technique
I think sometimes it hurts you
when you stay too long in school
I think sometimes it hurts you
when you're afraid to be called a fool
-- Warhol in Lou Reed & John Cale's "Songs for 'Drella"
"Bart, don't make fun of grad students! They just made a terrible life choice." -- Marge Simpson
"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need" -- Tyler Durden, Fight Club

"I just sat through three hours of so-called acting, and that kiss was the only convincing part of it!"
- Simon Pegg as Sergeant Nicholas Angel in 'Hot Fuzz'
"I was driving in my rental car, in Ireland, and I turned on the radio. I heard this: 'If the Lord hadn't intended us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat.' Click. I turned it off. That was it, that just made my day. I didn't need to hear more."

"Uli's a nihilist. He doesn't believe in anything."
"Ah, must be exhausting."
"I don't like you sucking around bothering our citizens, Lebowski. I don't like your jerkoff name. I don't like your jerkoff face, I don't like your jerkoff behavior and I don't like you, Jerkoff. Do I make myself clear?"
"...I'm sorry, I wasn't listening."
"Does the female form bother you, Mr. Lebowsi?"
"Oh, is that what this is a picture of?"
"In a sense, yes. My work has been commended as being strongly vaginal and this makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina. Even the word itself makes some men uncomfortable when, without batting an eye he could refer to his "dick" or his "rod or his "johnson"."
"Johnson?"
"Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?"
"Sex?"
"Coitus. The physical act of love. Do you like it?"
"..I was talking about my rug, but.."
"You're not interested in sex?"
"....You mean, coitus?"
"I like it,too. It's a male myth about feminists, that we hate sex. Sex can be a natural, zesty enterprise. Yet there are some people, it's called Satyriasis in men and Nymphomania in women, who engage in fornication compulsively and without joy."
"Oh, no."
"Oh, yes. These people cannot love in the true sense, our mutual acquaintance "Bunny" for instance."
"Yeah, listen Maude, I'm sorry your stepmother's a nympho but, uh...do you have any kaluha?"
"The script is ludicrous. You can imagine where it goes from here."
"He fixes the cable?"
"Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey."

"But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
"No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty, I'm no longer standing, because if I am... you'll all be dead before you've reloaded."

"He said it came from his grandmother,who had lots of beautiful things of that kind. A ridiculous story. I have no doubt that smeagols's grandmother was a matriarch, a great person in her way,but to talk of her possessing many Elven-rings was absurd,and as for giving them away,it was a lie. But a lie with a grain of truth."

I'd go with the first one though.
Thanks. These would be fun to say to someone.

"Boy, Captain America over here! "Best of the best of the best, sir!" "With honors." Yeah, he's just really excited and he has no clue why we're here."
"This is the Master-Ring, the One Ring to rule them all.
This is the One Ring lost many years ago,
to the great weakening of its maker's power.
Now, he greatly desires to have it again,
- but he must NOT get it"
"Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really fear is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more."

Hunter: "Lesson number one; trust no one. The minute god crapped out the third caveman a conspiracy was hatched against one of them. Get up damn you!!"
[Brock groans and gets to his feet. Gathers tosses Brock a jetpack.]
Hunter: "Strap her on, kid. Your training starts now. When I'm through with you you'll be a member of the elite agency that's been thanklessly defending this bigass country since the second American Revolution. The invisible one."
Thanks cosmo the venture bros had some damn funny qoutes
Back to the flashback, Underbheit, Rusty, Mike and Pete are playing Dungeons & Dragons:
Underbheit: My barbarian swings his +3 battle axe!
Mike: No. The Leslie-Golem skin is like rock.
Pete: What the hell's a 'Leslie-Golem'?
Mike: A very powerful creature that looks just like Leslie Cohen.
[everyone groans]
T.S.: Looks like Leslie Cohen, huh? Well then my wizard seduces her.
Mike: What. You can't do that.
T.S.: Sure I can! I have like twenty-five charisma points. I wanna seduce her.
Mike: No, don't! It's Leslie!
[Venture rolls the 12-sided die which Mike watches in fear... it comes to a stop and he yells]
Back in the present:
Dr. Venture: Oh come on!! You're gonna kill me because I had fake sex on graph paper with a girl who barely spoke to you in real life?!

25. And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?
26. And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.
27. And the Lord did not ask him again.

I often jest but not about this Shirley. These girls were really that dumb. The DC on the Will save to stop myself from going over and correcting them was very high. :-)

Patton Oswalt:
First off, when I went looking for a KFC in Los Angeles, I realized I hadn't been in a KFC in decades. I remember, as a kid, how fun they were, with the corn on the cob on a stick, and the way KFC chicken tastes so goddamn awesome the next day after spending the night in the fridge.
The franchise I visited, on Hollywood Boulevard near my old apartment, looked like it had withstood assault by bullets, flamethrowers, Baseball Furies, and a hundred hook-handed whores. Everything inside the store—including the employees and customers—looked like it had been rubbed with sad ham.
