I use them sometimes and they work great in everyday situations. Lately I'm finding myself using the phrase "I think we've got a big problem" quite a bit.
I know a lot of people who pull out 'He chose....poorly' on regular basis.
I like to use 'Too bad you don't speak Hovitos' and once pulled a rope out of reach of a friend stuck below while caving, taunting 'Throw me the idol!'.
I like to say "I should have sent it to the Marx Brothers" a lot even when it doesn't really make sense. I also say "look what you did! I can't believe what you did!" and "oh, ****" a lot.
I like using the two word quote from ToD when something goes wrong with homework or the vacum breaks or the lawnmower stops running! "This is serious!"
Being a pastor, I always though "That's just what te Hebrews thought," would be readily available. Still looking for an opportunity.
That is why you should read Lamb!
I have always been a huge fan of
"SONUVA*****!"
" (insert anything), Why did it have to be (insert anything)" Liek a dinner, "Merlot, why did it have to be Merlot!"
but my all time favortie, which while I worked in restaurants, I was able to use to great effect
"I am not entirely comfortable with this Jewish ritual"
(we did a few Passover dinners and Rosh-HASH-Honna events
I like using the three word quote from ToD when something goes wrong with homework or the vacum breaks or the lawnmower stops running! "This is serious!"
At work a few nights ago we were very slow and when we're slow I get restless and when I get restless I usually do something that irks the boss. I saw that the paper towel dispenser on the wall only had the cardboard tube left on it so I grabbed that and set it on fire. My boss told me to put it out but I ran outside instead. My boss didn't care so I just walked around behind the store holding the thing like a torch and I saw some graffiti on the wall that said ROBOTS. I hate robots so I said "Robots, why did it have to be robots?"
In my profession, I am sure I could always use: "We have top men working on it now..." What a great way to tell someone, it's none of your damn business.
In fact, the next time one of you uses the "Report this post to the moderators" link, I just may respond back in kind.
"I'm like a bad penny. I always turn up." -- an absolute classic that I've used a few times in the past.
When I was in high school, I was sitting around and talking with a bunch of the guys, and someone said: "Look at Nathan! He's as giddy as a schoolgirl!"
My response was: "Nathan? He was never giddy -- even when he WAS a schoolgirl!"
"No time for love, Dr. Jones" is also a classic that I've used a few times.
"You stood up to be counted with the enemies of everything the Grail stands for! Who gives a damn what you think"
I once used this line on a chick at school in 7th or 8th grade when we did a group project and she did no work and said she thought she deserved credit!
Yes I felt like a jerk afterwards but it was a great opportunity to use that line.
I remixed a line from KOTCS on my girl the other day at walmart.I went in looking for the LC figures when she made some remark about some girls outfit and how cute it was.I simply said,"She has one problem,She isn't you."
I use the "It's not the years, it's the mileage" line a lot. I also like to say "Faster boy, faster!" to my buddies to get them to hurry up, and "Well, they don't come any closer than that," but I have to do a Sean Connery impression to get the full impact of those ones.
I do use the 'Oh Sh!t' line a lot. When my dad and me were waiting to see Indy 4 for the first time I asked him: "so, you've made it 19 years, how do you feel...?" "It's not the years, its the milage"
My bad!
