Yes Selie, Albert was great. This is the last I'll post. I feel it has some sort of place on this board in parts...
Things should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.

"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with ketchup." - Unknown.
"People laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're all the same" - Unknown.
Both of those are sigs I've read on forums or in an e-mail or something at various times in the past.

The above statement surprises and terrifies me!
Anyway, it's not really a quote but its "Patrick Streets" catchline.
"A traditional Irish super group like no other....."
I didnt know their were any other traditional irish super groups, but oh well, I trust Patrick street............Have any of you actually heard of Patrick Street? Ach!

I ALMOST needed a change of underwear after reading this:
But while we're on the subject of file formats, let's pause for a moment in frank admiration of the way in which Microsoft brazenly built backward-incompatibility into its product. By initially making it virtually impossible to maintain a heterogenous environment of Word 95 and Word 97 systems, Microsoft offered its customers that most eloquent of arguments for upgrading: the delicate sound of a revolver being cocked somewhere just out of sight.

I mean if Pac-man affected us as kids,

Actually I don't remember where I got that quote from.
I think it was from a Microsoft seminar (not sure though) and they had that up on the screen one time while waiting for the next presentation. I wrote it down on my pad, and promptly forgot about it until now when I was going thru my note pad the other day.
Interesting enough, if you check this site
http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/hum ... oke9.shtml it says this quote might be made up...Which is probably true, but it sounded too good to not post.

"...And they had those flash-light thingies..."
- "Yeah, that's the right name for those, 'flash-light thingies' "
"...and Jedi powers of mind control, and they can move things, so they're telekenetic, and they hover on their jets saucers over molten lava and they can jump and fly around like they're in Cirque De Sole..."
- "Coffee please"
"But what gives one Jedi knight the edge over the other? Huh? The ultimate advantage? THEY STAND ON A MOUND OF DIRT AND DECLARE 'YOU CAN'T WIN, I'VE GOT THE HIGH GROUND'!"
- "Dude, if he said it, that's the way it is. It's a fictional world"
"He's four feet up a little slope! That wipes out all the other guys powers? The fly, jump around, move thigns around with his brain, use his flash-light thingie?"
- "You've GOT to learn the right term for 'that flash-light thingie'"
"This has been bugging me..."
- "For months! We saw that movie months ago, you've got to let it go!"
"I can't!"
- "George Lucas owns San Fransisco now, that's a city, you can't argue with a man that owns a city"
"All the other guy has to do is scurry onto land, run up the hill a bit, and then he has the high ground. I mean they can fly jet pods but they can't scurry?"
- "Go on a website or something, ok, 'cause there are thousands, no, millions of your kind out there debating all the minutia of , not just this star wars movie, but every star wars movie"
"You dragged me to see these movies"
- "No, you wanted to see that move"
"So I can't critique it because I wanted to see it?"
- "That's how it works"
"What about 'Bewitched?'"
- *shudder* "Ok, I'm sorry, THEY SCREWED UP BEWITCHED!"
Don't mock me if you know where that comes from

I wish I knew, sounds great! Sounds like a very Kevin-Smith-Clerks-was-the-best-movie-I-ever-made-and-it-all-went-rubbish-after that kind of a quote.

Nope, or else I would not be mildly embarrassed by the source : )

I also don't know where this comes from, but Clerks was the first thing that crossed my mind as well Gambit.
