You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

I don't press out moisture from my zucchini, and it is fine.

(That's what she said.)

I just got paid, and I think I got like 50 cents more. Whoo.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Okay, be honest. How many of these have you said in conversation? If you include text, all of them. Out loud, fuck, most of them.

I think the only one I've never used is Wolverine's. Does "With great power comes great responsibility" count as a valid substitute?

You shall not pass is from LOTR, not Monty Python, right? What kind of geeks are those people?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I say "we're not in Kansas" all the time AIFG.

Because books.

Does "With great power comes great responsibility" count as a valid substitute?

I'd have to substitute a lot lines from, like, Young Frankenstein. And Fast Times and Spinal Tap.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

God damn the socialist Muslim not-really-American POTUS for wanting me to buy socks!!! And wanting P-C to buy a burrito!

See! The only examples of it benefiting anyone are special interest groups like women and minorities, not Real Americans like the Tea Party men.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even I've said most of those out loud.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Also, they left out "These aren't the droids you're looking for."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's Wolverine's catchphrase, really? I associate "bub" and "SNIKT!" with him more, but I guess those aren't really catchphrases.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You shall not pass is from LOTR, not Monty Python, right? What kind of geeks are those people?

Fucking A! Also, they got the Star Wars movie wrong, apparently, but that's not my geek niche.

I've quoted Princess Bride in casual conversation at least three times this month. I could do that article from that one movie alone. Last time I did it, the person I was talking to was all "Bzuh?" My sister and I proceeded to back up our mental reels of the movie thirty seconds and quote more of it to explain. Because that makes it okay.
