"I am not a thug. I am not a fanatic. I am a vitamin supplement to justice."
May I just say, that you are an evil, utterly evil man, Bob? I nearly snarfed Mountain Dew over my keyboard when I saw that. For real. No kidding. ^_^ -Logan 
Thenkyew.
I wish I could remember where I heard that. It has a kinda "Tick"-like feek to it, but my quotefile has no attribution. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
I figured that had to have come from The Tick, myself.
Just because I'm thoroughly detail obsessive sometimes, I've reloaded the page numuous times and here's all I've gotten so far. _____ Sometimes you have to go everywhere to get back where you started. (This was the original, I think.) I'm just burning doing the Neutron Dance. I'm the urban spaceman, babe, and I'm making out; I'm all about. I'm the urban spaceman, baby, I can fly; I'm a supersonic guy. It's still not weird enough for me. Absorbs ten times its weight in excess reality. From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand my intentions? Oh well, I guess this is just going to be one of those lifetimes. Not available in stores. Getting there is half the fun. Sponsored by Warriors International, your first choice for all your metahuman security needs. The magic's in the music, and the music's in his helmet. I never metahuman I didn't like. (Comment from Logan - "Owwww... owwww... Pain... oww...") Rock and roll Refugee Inverting insert cliches since 1998. "Sometimes I go into my own little world... but that's okay, they know me there." (Logan's comment - That sounds like a Steven Wright line there.) And starring Marshall Mathers as the Beaver. It's OK to do the right thing, as long as you don't get caught. Something appealing, Something appalling, Something for everyone: A crossover tonight! If my sanity asks, I was never here. "At the moment, I'd much prefer a petty, mundane life than the one I have. You want to trade?" Bots to the left of me, boomers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you. V&V and BGC and little lamsy divey... 'Cause there's one thing I know turns a man of sixty Back into a child of six Watching Dunninger, Houdini, Or Doug -- the magic man, Up To His Old Tricks ______ -Logan Quote:Yes, it was. Hmm. You got almost all of them; here're the rest: Not approved by the Comics Code Authority. Shootin' at the walls of heartache, bang bang! I am the Warrior! (I might take suggestions for additions, if they seem more or less appropriate. Make such suggestions over in the Website forum, please. In fact, I'll move this thread over there, as it belongs there to begin with.) -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
You know, given all of them so far, I'm surprised you didn't add THE perenial rabbit quote:
"I KNEW I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque" I mean, given the way Doug seems to consider Bugs as his totem ALA shadowrun... to me it would be a slam dunk for it to be in there..."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word." -- HM "Howling Mad" Wilson to more than one team-mate. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children
LOL! You're right, of course. I just added it now. (Or rather, I entered it into the textbox on the webpage where I manage this script. I'm leaving it open to add a few more as I think of them.)
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Just so folks know, I've added fifteen new quotes to the rotating text on the main DW page on my website.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
I thought these might fit:
How psycho? Psycho interesting or psycho hide the knives? And so, having re-re-disposed of the monster, exit our hero, stage left... - Bugs Bunny I?m all for dramatic irony myself, but this is a little ridiculous. Yeah, I?ve both been there and done that. Though this be madness, yet there is method in't...Shakespeare, Hamlet I have looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked also back into me. Neither of us liked what we saw.
Thanks! I've added them (with just a little editing).
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.  Quote:Ya know, I really like that one... Where did you find it, and if it's original my I use it for myself? Thanks! Offsides Drunkard's Walk Forum Moderator and Prereader At Large
While Bard J provided this quote, I already had it in my quotefile and just hadn't considered it for the rotating text. I first heard it uttered by the rather strange monologuist Brother Theodore on Saturday Night Live something like 20 years ago. (Brother Theodore is also known simply as "Theodore", under which name he performed the voice of Gollum in the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit.)
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
I'm glad you knew it, because I found it under "unknown" in someone's quote file.
May I say, you have an excellent memory, Bob.
Thanks!

It's really a combination of a trick memory (partial eidetic), a writer's notebook that I've maintained since 1981, and the quotefile I've kept since 1992 or thereabouts. And it's entirely possible, btw, that the quote might have come from my collection; I've shared a couple copies of my quotefile with various people over the years and they're sure to have gotten around -- some of my own original quotes can even be found in the "hidden writing" on the cover of GURPS Illuminati!
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
heh.
Personally, I like the fact you cribed that quote from wazziz name (one of the Illogics from UF's SoS)"I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word." -- HM "Howling Mad" Wilson to more than one team-mate. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children
Well, yeah. But then again, sometime's that's Doug's attitude.
(Although, as my mental construction of the plot for the Borribles Step progresses, it appears that you will -- someday -- get to see Doug acting as a duly authorized agent of the UN. Not the UN of his homeworld, of course, but a UN. And then he'll be the keeper and enforcer of the rules...) -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Added a new one a couple days ago, btw. I won't make you guess, or slam the page for it to come up. In tribute to the upcoming Hulk movie (who saw the commercial during the Super Bow?):
"Mr. McGee, don't make me play the Partridge Family. You wouldn't like me when I play the Partridge Family." -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
I noticed that the quotes no longer rotate...
Did hosted scripts finally go Tango Uniform the way we were all expecting back in those last days before the message board moved?"I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word." -- HM "Howling Mad" Wilson to more than one team-mate. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children
Huh? They stopped? Let me go look into this.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Okay, dunno how that happened, but apparently the last time I updated the page I used a copy that had the rotating quote code commented out and the static subhead in place. I've put an updated copy up and made sure it rotates now.
Thanks for the catch, StarRanger! -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
You're welcome... and I love the partridge family qoute... Did you just add that one, or have I just not seen it before? ^_^"I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Look 4 or 5 messages up. I added it on 1/27/03 and let folks know what it was so they didn't hammer the server looking for it.
