5 favourite quotes tag

Robert Freeman: "I hate to see a child go unbeaten"

Gam and I have been tagged by Mikey. The theme is 'five favourite quotes'. Off the top of my head I can't really think of five favourites or even five that we use commonly, but I'll see what I can come up with...

1. "Depraved and animalistic"- Larissa. This is from a couple of years ago when we invited some of our friends to dinner and they brought another friend (and housemate at the time) of theirs. She is a christian, and that quote was her response to our friend Victor's whispered explanation of what 'pearl necklace' meant, after the term came up in a conversation. I don't know if Victor or anyone else remembers it, but the phrase has really entered the vernacular in this household.

2. "The fuck y'all lookin' at?" - Ed Wuncler III. This one is from The Boondocks animated series. 'W' is a parody of George W Bush. This one gets used a lot when yet another retarded Bush policy is announced on the news with no criticism or analysis.

3. "I hate to see a child go unbeaten" - Robert Jebediah 'Granddad' Freeman. Also from The Boondocks, namely the episode 'Guess Hoe's Coming to Dinner'. Usually said when we've witnessed a particularly bratty child misbehaving in public. And no, we don't particularly care if the child's parent overhears.

4. [Excerpt from a Family Guy episode]

"You know, Margaret, we could have sexual intercourse right now"
"Yes, yes we could"
"But let's not"
- from the 'high class British porn' in the Family Guy episode 'North by North Quahog'

5. [Excerpt of a scene from Blazing Saddles]

Lili Von Shtupp: Is it true how zey say zat you people are... gifted?
[Lights go out, sound of zipper opening]
Lili Von Shtupp: Oh. It's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue!


Hehehe.

Sure, there's nothing profound here but profound is a bit overrated anyway.

I'll tag Anthony. Anthony gets stuck with most of my tags. Sorry Anthony!

Depraved and animalistic eh?

Awesome. No fair on No 5. Our lousy genetics come up against us pale types.

On a lighter note because I had a fat tum mine has receeded. I look like a hairy cherub.

Well, next time you're invited to a fancy dress party all you'll need is a little pair of wings and you'll be set!

I'm honoured yet again, Sarah.

I like quote 3 the best.

Me too- it's worth watching that episode just for that line!
