One day, I will properly use "As you wish." One day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't trust people who don't like TPB.

If that's what it takes, yes.
And that will probably be the least of it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"Never start a land war in Asia, and never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!"

Tim and I use a mishmash of Buffyverse/Blue Beetle/LOLcats, and, lately, Big Bang Theory. (I also apparently got him saying "I'm the goddamned Batman," though he's never read the freaky comic from which it originated.)
I think I quote The Simpsons a lot without even thinking about it, that's how subsumed that show is in my brain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!"
Though as it turns out, you can outwit a Sicilian when death is on the line.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Nice reversal on the whingeing, msbelle.

msbelle, I forgot to comment on something you posted earlier -- games on your iPod Touch will suck away ALL YOUR FREE TIME.
For instance, there is a Skeeball app that is MADE OF AWESOME. And has sucked away all my free time.
Until I downloaded Bejeweled.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Jon and I will often riff on some version of this: "You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
Steph, Jon and I use "bazinga" a lot, and while I don't use "I'm the goddamned Batman" a small few of us will say something along the lines of "HOLY GOD I LOVE [insert activity] IT IS FANTASTIC YOU MUST TRY IT!"
