OK, one of my mates just said over MSN:

*is getting more and more worried about the comments you throw up sometimes...*

Most of the comments he's talking about are quotes (mostly out of context) from MacNN. Just before he said that, I'd told him

"Oh, but that is part of the joy!
Eat a load of roasted asparagus (Mas is right- roasted... mmmmmm), wait an hour or so, run out into the yard and pee all over the place. Keeps the skunks away. Seriously. Not kidding."
I think it's by Max Nelson - it's from the cooking thread anyway.

So what I want is a whole bunch of odd comments and bizarre pieces of advice. Anyone got any?

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

Don't know if it's bizarre or not, but I've always liked, "The sky is always wood to a bug under a board."

If that's not bizarre, I don't know what is...

"Walter Williams, DC's first elected mayor, was listed in stable condition, however doctors were still trying to determine why he briefly lost consciousness while napping."


Heard last night on NPR in DC. I guess I better go see my doctor, becuase this happens to me almost everytime I nap. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

"It's gone all quiet" - Roobarb

"We ran out of cows milk yonks ago, we're on the dogs milk now. It's full goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly. Plus the added bonus of dogs milk is that it lasts longer than any other kind of milk...

...no bugger'll drink it, and it tastes exactly the same when it's fresh as it does when it's gone off"

- Holly, Red Dwarf

"It's depressing that human beings, such an advanced and intellectual race, can come up with no better last words than 'What bus?'"

- Dogma

"It's deja vu all over again"

"When you come to a fork in the road....Take it"

"You can observe a lot by watching "

When asked what time is was......" you mean now?"

At Yogi Berra day in St Louis 1947 "I want to thank you for making this day necessary"

"If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be"

Yogi on the 1969 NY Mets....."overwhelming underdogs"

"If the people don't want to come out to the ballpark, nobody's going to stop them"

On why NY lost the 1960 series to Pittsburgh "We made to many wrong mistakes"

The only quotes I can remember are Red Dwarf ones so here ya go :

"Lister: What does it feel like?
Rimmer: Death? It's like being on holiday with a group of Germans."

"Rimmer : Now kindly cluck off, before I extract your gibblets, and shove a large seasoned onion between the lips you never kiss with."

"Rimmer : Um, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is "What are we going to call ourselves?" um, and I think it comes down to a choice between `The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is `The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Um, one drawback with that... the abbreviation is `CLITORIS'."

"Holly : We have three realistic alternatives: (1) Sit here and get blown up, (2) Stand here and get blown up, (3) Jump up and down, shout at me for not being able to think of anything, then get blown up."

"rimmer : I just want to say: over the years, I have come to regard you as ... people I met."

"Rimmer : Step up to Red Alert!
Kryten : Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb."

So he is in no way connected with Yogi Bear then? Outside of the US, no one has heard of him.

I forget where I found this. It's about Anna Kornikova, and I think it was from fark.com.

I'd crawl through a mile of broken glass just to throw a rock at the laundry truck carrying her pantines to the cleaners.

Pathetic, I crawl silently home...
