For a while now I've been a fan of collecting sound-bites - quotes from movies, TV, speeches, etc. I eventually decided to store them on my iPod and create a playlist of them so I could use them for trivia competitions, etc (along with movie and TV themes). However with the shuffle feature of course, I started having my music interpersed with these sound bites - serendipitiously cool! 
I call it podbites! 
Wondering if anyone else is doing it, and what they have on their playlist? I suppose there might be a copyright issue - wonder if I'll be able to convince Apple to sell sound bites on the iTunes Store?

That would be entertaining. To for a moment be listening to Coldplay, then suddenly hear "... with a big bowl of apple sauce!" in your ear (Homer Simpson).

But I think it would start to get old.

Perhaps I should do this with my Humor playlist! Do you know where I could get good quality sound bites from funny movies and shows?

Also, for flash movies like those on Homestarrunner.com, how would I extract the sound? I own Flash, if that matters.
