Jimbo: I’m Jimbo Kern and this here is Ned. Say Hi Ned.
Ned: Mmmmm Hi Ned
Jimbo: HA! Isn’t that great?

Stan: I can’t believe it! This “future self” thing is all a scam!
Butters: Yeah, I can’t believe it!
Stan: They’ve been lying to us this whole time!
Butters: Yeah, this whole time! I wonder if my future self knows anything about this?

Marge: Homer… I’m on duty.
Homer: That’s okay, I’m supposed to be working too!

Some random quotes from reading my latest book from the library.

"Go to Heaven for the weather,
Hell for the company!"

"It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so."

"There is nothing so annoying as to have two people talking when you’re busy interrupting."

Not sure about this one though, I’ve had my fair share of [negative] excitement already. Unless he’s referring to travel, taking up an instrument, learning how to compost, speaking a new language, getting a part time job for a while that has nothing to do with computer systems, trying new exotic coffee… sounds like a plan

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Pete: …she was comatose.
Dud: Comatose? Comatose to her head?
Pete: Coma-toes… to her head… shaddup!

Meg: Mum! How’d you get these blueprints!?
Lois: Oh, your mother has her ways… she has her ways…

Lois: Can I have the blueprints to the Domico house?
Civil Servent: Yeah sure, here you go.

Well pardon me sir, but what if what if I wished to partake of said microwave by attempting to cook metallic objects?

He didn’t say that, but I saw this scene and the sign and just had to take a terrible screenshot along with an accompanying fabricated quote. Along with, and accompanying… together. And at the same time. Together and at the same time. Both.

I don’t watch much television (ridiculous anime, Cranky Geeks and The Simpsons aside of course!), but Boston Legal is one show I really enjoyed watching. Fantastic writing, and a huge shame it ended so abruptly.

This fabricated quote that didn’t actually happen also reminds me of these particular lines from John Lennon’s Nobody Told Me (There’s Be Days Like These):

There’s always somethin’ cookin’
But nothin’s in the pot

Well there you go, it seems John Lennon was unaware that the food wasn’t in a pot but rather in a microwave at Crane, Poole and Schmidt. Or perhaps he knew somehow in advance that somebody had placed a metallic object in the aformentioned microwave therefore rendering it incapable of cooking food given a resulting explosion.

Lennon had said he and the Beatles were bigger than Jesus… perhaps we should have taken this admission more literally.

So there you have it. On a related note, what did you do on your Saturday night? Were you witty and were you able to connect two seemingly unrelated quotes from two different mediums, one quote of which you blatantly fabricated having seen a backdrop in a scene?

I think I’ll stop now.

Therapist: I even got Paul McCartney out of Wings…
Homer: You idiot, he was the most talented one!
