Never mind Where where, why why?

[to camera] The standard answer being, [to CS] We can't help it! We're morons!

really??? I thought we were more offs!

Actually, the real reason must have had to do with our respective personalities, and how we are apt to make impetuous responses to a given situation or post. In addition to this, we are a bunch of fans of The inaccurately named Hitch Hiker's Trilogy and of Monty Python's Flying Circus, which brings us to continuously make refrences and jokes to this. The fact that we are a bunch of Americans, Englishmen, Australians, and even some people for whom English is not a first language gives us a variety of diverse and contradictory in-jokes which someone from the other three groups may have no hope of understanding. Fortunately, there are several -- [realizes that everyone is glaring at him] Oh!

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, a wink is as good as a nudge to a blind man, eh?

*rolls over with maniacal laughter*

Only if the blind man cannot feel anything. He can feel a nudge, but he can't see a wink.

*between laughs*

Say no more, say no more

No more. No more.

*giggle*
*snort*

So, we're morons?

*watches tap dancing elephants*

i dont get it. i dont get it!!!! all these inside jokes ........ and im stilll on the outside

my jokes were based on the Monty Python skit about Candid Photographs

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more

And in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon asks Jar-Jar if he is brainless. Jar-Jar says, "I speck," which I at first took to mean, "I expect," but careful analysis of Qui-Gon's next line ("The ability to speak does not make you intelligent") leads me to believe that he actually said, "I spake." Does anyone have a .WAV file of Qui-Gon saying, "Are you brainless??" and Jar-Jar saying, "I speck"?

IO allways thought he said spake anyway. Am i too observant for my own good?

And of course who can forget classic dialogue like this from Episode One of the original Doctor Who TV series.

"Zar has killed the Old Woman!" "The Old Woman is dead?" "Yes it is so." "Where is Zar?" "He is gone." "Gone? Where has he gone?" "He is not here. We must find him!" "Yes, we must find Zar!"
