I may have invented it, but Bill [Gates] made it famous." -David Bradley, IBM Donna: "Don't you use that tone with me." Vincent: "What tone?" Donna: "The she's-hysterical-he's-reasonable tone." -Donna Kozlowski & Vincent Gray {Judging Amy} "I toss and turn. You would too, if you slept with so much weaponry." -Curiosity Valentine "It's statistically impossible for ALL girls to hate you! Math would never do that to you.

That Denver, Colorado is moving closer to San Francisco, California by an inch every ten years. An inch every ten years. That's the way the Rocky Mountains were formed, and that's the way the world changes - not by stamping your foot to get your way; not even by the bang of a gavel. It's by the choices we make, you know? All the time, you do what you think is right, every time; slowly the world starts to change. That's how we leave our imprint on life - an inch every ten years." -Maxine Gray {Judging Amy} arkanes: "As a general rule, if both sides think you favor the opposition, then you're doing a pretty good job of being even-handed." sketerpot: "The liberal media seem to have that down pat, what with their rampant conservative bias." -arkanes & sketerpot (/.) "Funny... they never look psychotic when they're sleeping." -Master Roshi {Dragonball} "I think the [US political] right and left have lost too much credibility to be arbiters of what's correct. It's sort of like Coke and Pepsi arguing over the relative health benefits of soda." -Jon Stewart {The Daily Show} "Really? Have you actually met the American people? I don't think they're up for it.

Peter: "Ummm, you're my mother?" Maxine: "And I got that way by being attractive to men." -Maxine & Peter Gray {Judging Amy} "Little colorful candles, clearly enough, are the canonical birthday cake topper. So much so, in fact, that any food you put them in automatically becomes a birthday food. Candles in a fruit torte? Birthday torte! Candles in a potato-leek quiche? Birthday quiche! Candles in the partially- decomposed body of a hobo who died of exposure and heart disease? Birthday hobo! And remember, blow out every candle on the hobo or you don't get your wish!" -Lore Sjoberg "Never wear fire for a hat.

Batman: "Nothing would make me happier." -J'Onn J'Onnz & Batman {Justice League: Savege Time} "The real problem is people who actually buy this stuff.

Much of the music I like would probably sound similar to NIN or Marilyn Manson to a casual listener, but I think Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson should be hung by their testicles and set on fire. However, others might argue that they should be hung by their PENISES and set on fire. It's all about personal preference." -CD "Phoebe, you know better than to scream in this house if there isn't a demon!" -Piper Halliwell-Wyatt {Charmed} "I fear nothing but the voices in my head who tell me to do things.

I believe it's the first time in box office history that both the number one and number two films included zombies." -CD "Yes; life is a cruel snake... with bitter herbs and spices." -Brendon Small {Home Movies} "It's not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes, with boats and friends and noodle salad... just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story; good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good." -Melvin Udall {As Good As It Gets} "That's it! From now on, I'm not looking forward to anything!" -Homer Simpson "As always, we start with memory performance, because these benchmarks are synthetic, a little bit different, and not always indicative of real-world performance.

Not that that's always a bad thing, except when an operating system does it without your permission." -Kathleen Dickason "This sausage is probably eighteen years old. This sausage could vote; it could go to war and die for its country." -John McGuirk {Home Movies} "I swore never to read again after To Kill a Mockingbird offered me no meaningful advice on the killing of mockingbirds. It did teach me to not judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do ME?" -Homer Simpson "Look at us; we're dressed like it's the sixties.

Zombie badgers can move at great speeds, and are prone to sudden acceleration; use proper caution when driving your zombie badger. Do not allow your zombie badger to consume mushrooms or African snakes, or your badger may emit catchy techno music. Do not taunt zombie badgers.

Y'know, we've used that line in more than half of our shows, and it's still fun." -Penn Jillette {Bullshit!} "It is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman; his alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red S - that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him; those are his clothes. What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us; and what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak; he's unsure of himself; he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race." -Bill {Kill Bill, Vol. 2} "I went to Toys 'R' Us and bought my son a Jurassic Park action figure.
