"Fezzik! Fezzik! Listen! Do you hear? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when Rugen slaughtered my father. The man in black makes it now."

Anytime someone says "Bacon" I have an almost irresistible urge to say "I Can't READ!" (from the beggin strips commerical)

And "now you know" has to be followed with "And Knowing is half the battle."

You know, all this TPB quoteage has remembered me. Usually when the girlfriends were introduced and forced to watch movies at our house, the first test they had to pass was a double bill of TPB and Pirates of Penzance (from which I can liberally quote, oh yes).

Ok, the TPB quotes are really funny because the priest at my sister's MiL's funeral today sounds JUST LIKE the dude in the movie. I'm glad I was in the cry room, so they could n;t hear me.

BTW - cry rooms are pretty freaking awesome.

This saved me at my grandmother's funeral precisely because I wasn't crying. Hard to explain why a 14 year old's heart has been blackened.

The thing that DID make me cry was all the very old people who made such an enormous effort (physically) to attend rites for a woman who had grown into a person who would have gleefully spit on each and every one of them.

It made me wonder if she had ever been decent, or if these folks came from an era where funerals were the thing that is 'done.'

The Eastern Star really did a lovely service...which had nothing to do with the deceased. Still, quite nice.

I have two quotes that seem to be mine alone, and they make me sad panda. "Bacon gotchya, eh?" was from a Canadian bacon ad, where the mother finally gets her son downstairs after she starts frying the bacon. I want to say it when someone finally comes round.

And "Your bullets cannot harm me! My wings are like a shield of steel!" from Batfink to describe my obvious invulnerability to everything.

Your bullets cannot harm me! My wings are like a shield of steel!

You should totally have this tshirt...or maybe a tattoo.

Well, I've at least seen Batfink and might recognize a reference to wings of steel.

Tech theatre types are always good for TPB quotes. And often Firefly.

amyth, it really sucks that you are having to say goodbye to Lulu. But I am so glad that you can spend some time with her, and I am glad you have good friends like Calli and smonster around you.
