Get your geek on

[deathpixie]

So, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] linked to Wired's 100 Quotes Every Geek Should Know. If you go through them and the comments, you'll notice some glaring ommisions (and some really lame inclusions, imo). So, geek-folks, what are your favourite geek-type quotes?

Mine are (with a concerted effort to make sure they weren't all Firefly quotes):

"Fire bad, tree pretty." - Buffy, "Graduation", B:TVS

"We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty." - Mal, "Serenity", Firefly (and Joss on the clip at the start of Serenity DVD)

"My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." - Inigo, The Princess Bride

"RESISTANCE IS USELESS!!!" - Vogon guard, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing." - Zoe, "The Train Job Firefly (and pretty much anything Zoe says, ever)

"Beer good. Foamy." - Buffy, "Beer Bad" - B:TVS

"Mrs. Krobopple (sp?), I glued my head to my shoulder." - Ralph Wiggum, The Simpsons

"It doesn't matter which lizard you vote for, the Lizard will always get in." - Douglas Adams again.

"Everybody. Is dead. Dave." - Holly, Red Dwarf

[singsong] "I'm gonna eat you little chicky..." "Oops, too slow, Chicken Marengo, you've gotta be faster than that to beat this cat!" - Cat, Red Dwarf

"I've been fished to death!" - Cat, Red Dwarf

"I reject your reality and substitute my own." - Adam, Mythbusters

"The world is a mess and I just need to... rule it." - Dr Horrible, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

And the whole Jackal sequence with CJ in West Wing. There would be more WW quotes, only my brain isn't giving me any. :P

And I'll stop there for now so I leave room for other people. ;)

"Victory is mine, victory is mine, great day in the MORNING, people, victory is mine! DONNA! Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."

Also, the Toby quote from this icon.

[dexfarkin.livejournal.com]

That one deserves the whole quote:

Josh Lyman: Victory is mine, victory is mine. Great day in the morning, victory is mine
Donna Moss: Good morning, Josh.
Josh Lyman: I drink from the keg of glory, Donna. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land
Donna Moss: It's going to be an unbearable day.

I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they? - Josiah Bartlett, West Wing

That one is in regular use in our house. But then I eat the bagels.

Two from Men in Black

"You do know Elvis is dead, right?" "No, Elvis is not dead. He just went home."

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

(the first half of that is used a lot, but I prefer the whole entire thing.)

I'm surprised you didn't include Homer's famous "To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems." ;)

[deathpixie]

You know how it is when you're trying to remember quotes and your mind goes blank... But yes, that one is there too. Plus the one on my icon.

[diamond-dust06.livejournal.com]

It's the first one that comes to my mind whenever I think of Simpsons quotes relevant to my life!

[auragifford.livejournal.com]

Hey, I decided I should use this at least for posting.

Top Three!

“Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho.” - John McClane (in writing), Die Hard

“We’re going to need a bigger boat.” - Chief Brody, Jaws

“I don’t believe there’s a power in the ‘verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.” - Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly (episode: “Serenity” (pilot))

[samy.livejournal.com]

I can't believe they didn't include "IT'S A TRAP!"

Aargh!

[qodarkness.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, is it really wrong of me to confess how angry I got that they put it as "We apologiZe for the inconvenience" from So Long And Thanks For All The Fish. Damnit - God is English! Apologise! We apologiSe for the inconvenience!

Around about then, I realised I'm probably too stressed to think of geeky quotes - will be back later with some :)

Isn't the #1 Geek Quote of all time:

"All your base are belong to us" ?

:)

But I'll add this from Dogma

Metatron: Human beings have neither the aural nor the psychological capacity to withstand the awesome power of God's true voice. Were you to hear it, your mind would cave in and your heart would explode within your chest. We went through five Adams before we figured that one out.

"You were fantastic, and so was I!" Nine, Doctor Who

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

That would be the ultimate thing to say in bed after sex, wouldn't it?

Here's one of mine:

"Cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria!" - Ghostbusters

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Shoot... it was in the article. :( Should click before I comment from now on.

Here's a few that are my favourites. :)

“Goonies never say die.” -Mike, The Goonies

“Ahh, a bear in his natural habitat: a Studebaker.” Fozzie, The Muppet Movie

“It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.” “Hit it!” - Elwood, The Blues Brothers
