McEnroe for president? You cannot be serious! As serious as I'll ever be, Middleton.

The entire board, for most of today:
" ."
Why's it so quiet?
Anyway. From The Secret of Monkey Island, a game I've never played before, but someone I know keeps quoting it:
"You fight like a dairy farmer" "How appropriate, you fight like a cow".
My favourite would have to be America. The Boxer closely follows.

My favourite would have to be America.I forgot about that; I love that one too. "Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike/And they've all come to look for America..." I think the America the group is good too, although I've only really heard four of their songs - Horse With No Name, Tin Man, Muskrat Love and Ventura Highway. And to post some quotes: From The Catcher in the Rye: "What I really felt like, though, was committing suicide. I felt like jumping out the window. I probably would've done it, too, if I'd been sure somebody'd cover me up as soon as I landed. I didn't want a bunch of stupid rubbernecks looking at me when I was all gory.""I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

"Dworf"? "DWORF"!? Dear me.
Anyway, while I'm reminded of Red DwArf:
"Drop dead, Rimmer." "Already have done." "Encore!"

'You stupid geek' said by someone to someone elce in a little scuffle in school. People laughed at its oxymoronic value. Though they didnt describe it as such. They just said 'you dumbass'.
On Pimp My Ride Uk where someone is commenting on a dented bumper. "His cars had more hits than Paris Hiltons web site" Terrable. The guy who presents the show is from England and pretends to be a rapper with phrases like 'dog'. Its cring-worthy. I watch the show to see the cool makeovers the cars get and to see the cool technology that is in the acrs. Interesting to watch but I dont like the ghetto attitude, its so fake.
This is from a clip i just saw. Its a game show and the host is reading out a question. Host: What feachure is a Manx cat missing? Its hair, its tail or its sence of humour [He laughs]Contestent family: [After must deliberation with team] Sence of humour? Host: No sence of humour is incorrect, it missing its tail. [Audience laughs] Host: [laughing] I just read 'em folks, thats all I do. i just read 'em. Its a realy funny clip. I have shortened it a bit so it just contains the joke and maybe got the wording a bit wrong so if you waant to see the original with the funny look on the hosts face and the serios one on the contestents click HERE

From Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. I don't usually watch it but caught a bit of it but to quote it I had to look up the names of the characters on Wiki.
Louise: What ever you do don't go abroad. Anthony: Don't worry I wont: I don't like the cakes.
Well I thought it was funny.

You mean "Johnny", not "Anthony". Anthony was a character played by the same actor in a different sitcom, The Royle Family.
You should watch Two Pints more often. 'Tis the ultimate in things that are funny, but for no obvious reason.

I've done nothing disturbing.

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have." Where is that off? I seem to remember it.

From Two Pints, again:
Janet: Me and Donna were just talking about all the things we've both done. Gaz: Oo... well, it's funny I should walk in then. Janet: ...Why? Gaz: Well, you've both done me.
