since whining earlier, I have applied for 2 jobs! WHOOT!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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!"

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
My quotes generally come from either Caddyshack, This is Spinal Tap, Princess Bride, or Monty Python with random bits of Joss Whedon thrown in.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Until I downloaded Bejeweled.
Uh-oh. I used to love Bejeweled on my, um, what was that thing called? PDA! Now that I know it's available for the iPod touch, I am doomed.
I also might check out this "Angry Birds" thing the kids are into....

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.
What, no "My plan is elegant in its simplicity"?
Daniel frequently responds to my requests with, "As you wish."
"It could be worse, it could be raining," has been used by Daniel, his cousin Steve, and myself on at least one occasion.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Way to go, msbelle!
So our plans for the weekend might involve buying a new-to-us car. I'm excited, and also a little nervous because we want to try to bargain a bit on the price (right now it's a little over $10K, we'd like to get it at $10K or a bit less) but neither of us has ever done that when buying a car. What if we suck at it? What if the seller hates us or ends up selling it to us for $20K instead???

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Right now, I think the quote that StuntHusband and I use the most around each other is "YOU, SIR!" And then we both crack up a lot.

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

I say "Band meeting." all th time, but you really have to do an approximation of Murray's voice to get the effect.
I think the Python quote they were trying to think of was "None shall pass!".
Yes, and Emmett was in a frenzy of excitement about it. He high-five and knucklebumped me until my fingers were sore.
Right there with you.
I've often quoted "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw." and "What's your damage?" from Heathers.
There's so much stuff from Repo Man and Buckaroo Banzai I've quoted I can't begin to list them off. Oh, and The Big Lebowski joined that list as well.
