Ok, I've got one for you:
"Sixteen years with the Royal Shakespear Company and I'm reduced to this. I'm acting with an oil slick"
- Patrick Stuart on a first-season episode of Star Trek the Next Generation

"Earl Gray... Hot." (Captain Jean-Luc Picard)

Love that show! The best of the Star Treks!

'I like folks, all types and kinda!
People are a weakness o' mine...
Swat my hind with melon rind,
But dat's my penguin state of mind!
Yeah I dig folks, bad or nice...
Show me a mullah, I'll kiss 'em twice!
Just can't show no spite to those,
With lips, legs, toes and nose
So when they talk of droppin' bombmie,
I confess I got some qualmies...
Ain't no secret that even Commies
Got such things as dads and mommies!
Yeah, seems dese birds are fully blind,
To seein' national border lines..
So swat my hind with melon rind...
BUT DAT'S A PENGUIN STATE OF MIND!'

-Penguin Politics, by Opus (Bloom County)

Dat's a cool song.

Poem. Whatever.

Hello Ladies and Gents

as your trusty co-founder of RQG, I'm going to ask that if you're already a member but you still have some uber great quotes for us, please leave them in the "favorite quote?" Thread or the "Random everyday quotes" thread. I'm getting confused by who's not a member yet and who is! Thanks

Peace, Love, and Mashed Potatoes,
Darth Zaphod

I will, at least, DZ

Well huzzah then! Thanks much for your cooperation

DZ

I don't mean to sound dense, but does that mean I'm in? If so, *jumps up and down in excitement* And if not, I've got another quote for you:
"It's like looking into a microscope at a cell culture and seeing a thousand dancing hampsters!" - Doctor McKay, Stargate Atlantis
Thanks for the clarification.

Ah, GuardianShrek! I must have missed your first quote somewhere along the line because you are not yet on the member list But that will be remedied immediately as I'm going to add you right now! Thanks so much

DZ

Hey there DZ - you're being a mite mean with those donuts! what happened to mine?

If you sup with the Devil - make sure you use a long spoon. (author - can't remember)

Ah...well little do you know, I gave up on giving donuts a very very long time ago But you can have one anyway because I LOVE YOU!

DZ

Never mind - better for my diet anyway I suppose!

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen (Samuel Love 1797-1868)

here's one from Bonny Scotland... (say it out loud in your best James Doohan accent)

"Whits fur ye will no go by ye!"

It's being so cheery that keeps me going!


Oh! Oh! that's two for the price of one.

and one for the high brows... Carpe deum quam minimum integra proxima

Now please let me in because I "may contain traces of nuts"

Thanks mad boffin! You're officially on the official list of official members...hehe

I'm offnow to spread random, out of context quotes al over the place.

since 25/10 is St Cripins day I think I'll start with the entire Agincourt speach from Henry IV...

watch out the evil ninja chemist will spread confusion and quotes everywhere!

Oscar Wilde (geezer!) on exercise:
"Whenever I feel like exercise, I lie down until the feeling passes."

Laozi in the "Tao-te Ching"
"Governing a country is like cooking a small fish; too much poking and it will spoil".

"Funny how?"

Hey Speff! Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I will add you to the RQG member's list right now! Thanks for your quote

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- :
'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' "
