methinks mike has never actually seen the results of a real troll...

anywho, here are a bit of quotes i like

QUOTE ("Stargate SG-1")

    [Teal'c and Col. O'Neill are driving golf balls through the Stargate while it's connected.]
    Col. O'Neill: How far is Alaris, anyway?
    Teal'c: Several billion miles, O'Neill.
    Col. O'Neill: That's gotta be a record.

    [later]
    Gen. Hammond: [over the speaker] Colonel O'Neill, what the hell are you doing?!
    Col. O'Neill: In the middle of my backswing?!


QUOTE ("Stargate SG-1")
   
Dr. Jackson: The Pentagon said this was everything.
    Col. O'Neill: Oh, please! The Pentagon's lost entire countries.


QUOTE ("Stargate SG-1")

    Dr. Jackson: We're here to seek the Tok'ra.
    Col. O'Neill: Assuming, of course, you are the Tok'ra.
    Tok'ra: And if we're not?
    Col. O'Neill: Well, I guess we all start shooting. There's blood, death, hard feelings… it'd suck.


QUOTE ("George Carlin")
Deep Throat: Think about it. There is actually a semi-important figure in American history who is named for a blow-job movie. How do school teachers handle this?


QUOTE ("George Carlin")

I've begun worshipping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate.


QUOTE ("Mitch Hedburg")
Fish are always eating other fish. If fish could scream, the ocean would be loud as shit


QUOTE ("Mitch Hedburg")
When you go to a resturant on the weekends and it's busy so they start a waiting list, they say, "Dufrane, party of two, table ready for Dufrane, party of two." And if no one answers they'll say the name again: "Dufrane, party of two." But then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. "Bush party of three." Yeah, but what happened to the Dufranes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufranes are in someone's trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they're hungry. That's a double whammy. We need help. "Bush, search party of three. You can eat once you find the Dufranes."


QUOTE ("Mitch Hedburg")
I hate turtlenecks. Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy. All day. Like, if you wear a turtleneck and a backpack, it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down.


QUOTE ("Dr. Who")

    Dalek Sec: You are superior in only one respect.
    Cyberleader: What is that?
    Dalek Sec: You are better at dying.


this good enough for you mike?

My little sister says that Dufresnes (wikiquote spelled it wrong-- it's French with a silent "s") quote pretty often. It's pretty annoying. A lot of Mitch Hedberg fans are annoying if you think about it. I hate people that reiterate comedians jokes and try to play it off like it's theirs or something. And for some reason a lot of Mitch Hedberg fans do that.

I don't have any good quotes. I'll just be boring and use a Friedrich Nietzche quote...

Quotes from Doctor Who

"Jenkins! Chap with the wings there -- five rounds rapid."
-The Brigadier, in "The Daemons"

"Five million Cybermen easy... One Doctor... now you're scared."
-Rose, in "Doomsday"

"[disappointed] Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler! Fat lot of good you were! You gave up on me! [Rose looks annoyed] Ooh, that's rude... Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not ginger."
-The Doctor, in "The Christmas Invasion"

"Sycorax Leader: IF I might interrupt...!
The Doctor: Yes - sorry! Hello, big fella!
Sycorax Leader: Who exactly are you?
The Doctor: [Grinning] Well, that's the question...!
Sycorax Leader: [Bellowing] I demand to know who you are!
The Doctor: [Mimicking] I don't knooooow! [normal] See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor but beyond that... I-I just don't know, I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy? [winks at Rose] Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence I've certainly got a gob! And how am I gonna react when I see this? A great big threatening button. Ah-hah.
[sees the control matrix and runs up to it]
The Doctor: A great big threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Let me guess, it's some sort of control matrix, hmm? Hold on, what's feeding it? And what have we got here? Blood? :[tastes] Yep, definitely, blood, human blood, A-positive, with just a dash of iron. Haagh. But that means... blood control; blood control!! Awwww, I haven't seen blood control for years! You're controlling all the A-positives. Which leaves us with a great, big, stinking problem. 'Cause I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a great, big, threatening button - which should never, ever, ever be pressed - then I just wanna do this!
[Presses the button] "
- in "The Christmas Invasion"
