And now for something completely different.

Amigos

Good friends will help you move. A best friend will help you move the body.
A good friend will bail you out of jail and lecture you about how you screwed up. A best friend will be sitting right next to you laughing about it saying "We really screwed up!"
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

--Homer

The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend.

-- Aristotle

A true friend stabs you in the front.

-- Oscar Wilde

Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

--Elbert Hubbard

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

-- Oscar Wilde

A friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

--Len Wein

I think that in this life you're either an idiot, a madman or a genius. I don't know which kind of people are better, because I have friends of each one.

Anatomy

General: Right. Do you have this man's legs?

Tiger-suited guy 1: What, a wooden leg?

General: No, a real live flesh leg! This man was perfectly fine while he slept, when someone or something, came and stole his leg.

Tiger-suited guy 1: Without waking him up?

General: (pause) (awkwardly) Yes.

Tiger-suited guy 1: I don't believe you.

Atheism

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

--(Russel's teapot)

God only exists if he is believed in. As long as people believe in him, he will exist. such as any god, in fact. He will only stop existing when no one at all believes in him, and even if he doesn't stop existing, no one will care anyway.

"I refuse to prove that I exist" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing." "Oh," says Man, "but the Babel Fish is a dead give-away, isn't it? It proves you exist, and so therefore you don't." "Oh, I hadn't thought of that." says God, who promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy" says Man, and for an encore he goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.

-- Douglas Adams

I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.

--Aleister Crowley

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

Bartender: Do we serve water here?

Morgan: No. You say "good". "Good"! ... C'mon, "good"...

Goblins: SAKE!

Morgan: Ok, good sake. Whatever. Drink up me hearties, yo-ho. (drinks)

Goblins: SAKE!

Morgan: Oh, shut it.

Lando Calrissian: Barkeep! My friend and I would each like a glass of whatever that fellow who's passed out has been drinking.

Blackadder: (pause) Whim. (pause) The short answer is 'whim'.

Baldrick: Yes.

Blackadder: Just out of curiosity, what was the long answer?

Baldrick: It was 'a whim'.

A great portrait is always more a portrait of the painter than of the painted.

Charlie Chan, he was a hell of a man

Went back to China with his shit in his hand.

He had 5 women up against a wall,

I'll bet you 5 dollars that he fucked them all.

He fucked them hard, he fucked them long,

He fucked them all night until his shit got sore.

He went to the doctor, the doctor said,

I'm sorry Charlie, your dick is dead.

Doctor, doctor, that can't be true!

Yes it is, Charlie. Your balls are too.

Comedy

Foster: Dude, this guy wouldn’t see the meaning of a joke even if it grabbed a big knife, chopped his head off and started eating dog food.

Jester: You're not funny when you're hungry.

I'm struck by how laughter connects you with people. It's almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you're just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy.

X-Men

"What's up Doc?" is a very simple thing. It's only funny because it's in a situation. It was an all Bugs Bunny line. It wasn't funny. If you put it in human terms; you come home late one night from work, you walk up to the gate in the yard, you walk through the gate and up into the front room, the door is partly open and there's some guy shooting under your living room. So what do you do? You run if you have any sense, the least you can do is call the cops. But what if you come up and tap him on the shoulder and look over and say "What's up Doc?" You're interested in what he's doing. That's ridiculous. That's not what you say at a time like that. So that's why it's funny, I think. In other words it's asking a perfectly legitimate question in a perfectly illogical situation.

Chuck Jones

Conspiracy

Most secret societies have the urge to remain secret (and also the urge to remain societies, otherwise the whole thing becomes pointless). The Buccaneers, however, were so busy all the time trying to stay alive and relatively safe that secrecy didn't seem that much of an urgency to them, mainly because they got tired of so many secrets. They didn't carry large neon signs around saying they existed, but they'd probably tell you who they were and what they did if you happened to come across one and asked. Unlike most secret societies, the Buccaneers weren't that hard to find. They were, however, hard to lose.

In fact, I wanted to be John Cleese and it took some time to realize the job was in fact taken.

--Douglas Adams

Patriotism, that's some messed up stuff. All of them people, especially Americans, saying they love their country. I figure that by "country" they either mean its culture and people or the land itself; but you can't love everyone in a whole country, and if you love the land you can as easily love anyone else's land. A country is just something humans make up so they can have something in common with the people who live close to them. America was created by Americans so they wouldn't have to be Canadians.

Oscar Wilde

It came a time in the entrails of History when Buccaneers thought it'd be easier for them to pass vital information between themselves if they just put it all in a book, made copies for each Buccaneer and updated it every year or so with the discoveries that they made in the meantime. For the first edition, the Alzar nominated the experts on each of the faery species to write extensive texts on the appearance, behaviour, distribution and aproach of each of their subjects. The entry on "Stymphalian Birds" happened to be attributed to an ancestor of Rhog Kironoko, who had spent several years living near a flock of these birds, breeding them, eating their flesh and eggs, he spoke their tongue and had his wife, children and best friends all killed by them in their mating season. While other experts made very long texts for the entries of the creatures they spent their lives with (which have proved useful for following generations of Buccaneers), to this day, the entry on the Stymphalian Birds says simply "Fuck them".

Statler: I think honesty is always the best policy.

Waldorf: You believe that?

Statler: No, I was lying.

(The doorbell rings)

Judy: Can somebody get that?

Brian: Busy!

Tina: Busy!

Bill: Lazy!

Captain Jack Sparrow: Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you gotta watch out for, 'cause you never know when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch cold on over-exposure.

--Samuel Butler

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

--Samuel Butler

The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.

--Samuel Butler

There is no sacrifice greater than someone else's.

-- Skipper

Why do I have this imagination? It's the only one I've got!

-- Neil Gaiman

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

--Dr. Seuss

Hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do.

Oscar Wilde

Hard work may pay off in the long run, but laziness always pays off right now!

The Order of the Stick

A lie is simply a great story that someone ruined with the truth.

Barney Stintson

"I just don't trust you enough to believe that you lied."

The Order of the Stick (Belkar to Roy, later Roy to Lord Shojo)

Roy: You'll have to check prostitutes for both genders.

Belkar: Fine, but don't say I don't ever make sacrifices for the team.

Roy: You don't ever make sacrifices for the team.

Belkar: ...True.

The Order of the Stick

Humanity

I love mankind - it's people I can't stand.

Charles Schultz

You know a generation fails epicly when their vampires sparkle.

Captain Morgan Monkeyzen: Animals know since they're born what they need to do to be happy in life, and they do it if you'll let'em. Humans don't have a tiny-ass clue, so they ruin it for everybody trying to find out.

Granny Weatherwax: Magic's far too important to be used for rulin' people.

Witches Abroad

His plan was simple - not because Angelo was a man of simple tastes, but because he was himself a simple man. Simple plans were all the plans he knew how to do.
In the world there were, to Ogyte's understanding, four types of person: there were those who said "Let's stay home and make dinner" and there were those who said "Let's go to the moon". To the latter, there were those who replied with "Don't be foolish, that's impossible" and there were those who replied with "How?"
Whenever Zofia had to refer to something which she knew had happened in the past but wasn't quite sure on which point of the past this was, she always said that it happened a million years ago. At least this way people realized she was joking, except for Ogyte, who believed her and never learnt to count to one million.

Midrock

If a man would get hold of the public era, he must pay, marry, or fight.

Samuel Butler

Ethics is something dumb people invented to keep smart people from doing stuff.

Captain Morgan Monkeyzen

I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't deh pon nobody's side. Me don't deh pon the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me deh pon God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

Bob Marley

Maester Aemon: What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms... or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Game of Thrones

Hunger

Chris Rock:

People are starving all over the world, what do you mean, "red meat will kill you"? Don't eat no red meat? No, don't eat no green meat … if you're one of the chosen few people in the world lucky enough to get your hands on a steak, bite the shit out of it!
We got so much food in America we're allergic to food. Allergic to food! Hungry people ain't allergic to shit. You think anyone in Rwanda's got a fucking lactose intolerance?!

Stretching his hand out to catch the stars, he forgets the flowers at his feet.

-- Jeremy Bentham

Individualism

I second that individualism!

Everybody's so busy wanting to be down with the gang. "I'm conservative", "I'm liberal", "I'm conservative". Bullshit! Be a fucking person! Lis-ten! Let it swirl around your head. Then form your opinion. No normal, decent person is one thing, okay? I've got some shit I'm conservative about, I've got some shit I'm liberal about. Crime, I'm conservative. Prostitution, I'm liberal!

--Chris Rock

There's only two things that dragons hate: non-dragons and everybody else.

Midrock

If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only half paying attention to whatever else you're doing.

X-Men

Ben Kenobi: I wrote "Good" on my character sheet and I jolly well meant it! Unlike some people!

Darths & Droids

Church: There's no I in "team", Grif.

Grif: Yeah. There's no U either. So I guess if I'm not on the team and you're not on the team, nobody's in the goddamn team. The team sucks!

Infinity

Albert Einstein: There are only two infinite things: the Universe and human stupidity.

A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.

Barbossa: What are you doing?

Inquisition of inquisition

Captain Jack Sparrow: What are you doing?

Inquisition of inquisition of inquisition

Barbossa: No, what are you doing?!

Inquisition of inquisition of inquisition of inquisition

Captain Jack Sparrow: What are YOU doing?!

Inquisition of inquisition of inquisition of inquisition of inquisition

Barbossa: No, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?

Starlord: I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom!

Han: You repair droids?

Owner: We do. We have cleverly concealed that information on the sign outside, the blinking apparatus that reads NINGAL'S DROID REPAIR.

--Star Wars

Insult

Vaarsuvius: Belkar is a horrible, loathesome, supremely selfish creature who behaves contemptibly, laughs at the pain of others, has no manners whatsoever, and whose mental acuity would be compared unfavorably to that of a table. And yet I find I still prefer him to you.

The Order of the Stick

Phoebe: I just gave birth to three children, and I will NOT let them grow up in a world where Joey is right.

Friends

The 12th Doctor: What's inside is what counts. If you're not happy in your own skin, you'll never be happy. And I've had more skins than most people.

Clara: The last you - the you that isn't you now - wasn't averse to the odd bit of pretty packaging.

The 12th Doctor: You mean, the me who wore a bow-tie? The me that thought a fez - an item of apparel resembling an upturned plant-pot - was "cool"? The me that used the word "cool"? Still, not to worry. Sophistication and timeless sartorial elegance have been restored.

Comics

Intelligence

Roy: I hired you to be the party tracker!!

Belkar: And don't you feel stupid now?!?

Roy: No, Belkar, I don't think it's physically possible for me to feel stupid after talking to you.

Miko: Perhaps we should compare our respective Wisdom modifiers?

Belkar: ... I'll be in the back.

The Order of the Stick

A mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's opened.
If you can't change your mind, how can you be sure you have one?

Professor Farnsworth: I hate these nerds. Just because I'm stupider than them they think they're smarter than me.

Futurama

Albert: Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions?

Mort: No, what?

(pause)

Albert: Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right.

Mort

Human: How could you get on board without knowing where you are?

Doctor: Look at me. I'm stupid!

Doctor Who

Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Death of a Salesman

Italy

Vai a fare in culo, stronzo.

It was a small village, and wouldn't have shown up on a map of the mountains. It barely showed up on a map of the village.

Discworld

Church: There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line every single day of my life.

Using metaphor in front of a man as unimaginative as Ridcully was like a red flag to a bu — was like putting something very annoying in front of someone who was annoyed by it.

Madness

THIS! IS! SPARTA!

Foster: What is this?

Jester:This would be Sparta.

Beckett: You're mad.

Captain Jack Sparrow: Well, thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work!

Blackadder: This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you've got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpetting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying "this is a large crisis". A large crisis requires a large plan. Now get me two pencils and a pair of underpants. (http://finchley.deviantart.com/art/Blackadder-Tribute-53086771)

If a man sees something that isn't there, he's called mad. If a bunch of people see something that isn't there, it's called a religion.

Salvador Dali:

I don't do drugs. I am drugs.
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.
What is an elegant woman? An elegant woman is a woman who despises you and who has no hair under her arms.
It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself.
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

Of course I'm sane, when trees start talking to me, I don't talk back.

Magic the Gathering

Marriage

I now condemn you husband and wife. Please kiss.

By the power invested in me by His Noodly Appendage, I marry you to a cabbage.

When I buy my wife, at first she cook good, her vagine worked well, she strong on plow, but 3 years later when she was 15, she receive hair on her chest, her voice become deep, "Borat, Borat", and her vagine hang like sleeve of wizard.

When you have given everything, then you have everything to gain.

Magic the Gathering

We can't have gay marriage 'cause marriage is sacred, it happens in the church. Marriage is sacred, it's sacred. No, it's not, not in America, not in a country that watches Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? and The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and Who Wants to Marry a Midget. Get the fuck outta here. Shit, Michael Jackson got married, how fucking sacred is that shit?!

Jeff: Greetings to everyone at Amazon.com. I'm Jeff Dunham, here with Achmed, the Dead Terrorist. Say hi, Achmed.

Achmed: Oh, good evening. I kill you.

Jeff: What was that?

Achmed: Nothing, I was just saying hello to all the infidels out there. Hello, infidels. Your time will come.

Jeff: Wha-what is that supposed to mean?

Achmed: Oh, nothing! Please continue.

Jeff: Right. Anyway, we appreciate you stopping by Amazon.com, don't we, Achmed?

Achmed: More than anything... I kill you.

Jeff: ... And a special thanks to all our fans who already bought our DVDs.

Achmed: Yes, thank you. We are so very grateful... I kill you, and your mothers...

Jeff: Wha-- did you say anything?

Achmed: What?

Jeff: What did you say?

Achmed: Oh, nothing, nothing...

Jeff: I thought you said something after "we are so very grateful".

Achmed: Wasn't me! Someone else over here perhaps, maybe there's a ventriloquist around, I don't know. I kill you.

Jeff: You know, our latest DVD, "Spark of Insanity", has all your favourite characters, like Walter...

Achmed: I kill him.

Jeff: ...Peanut...

Achmed: I kill him!

Jeff: ... and, of course, Achmed.

Achmed: Now that is one funny guy. He should get paid more, don't you think?

Jeff: We had no idea, when we made "Spark", that it would go on to be one of the best-selling comedy DVDs of all time.

Achmed: No idea! Who knew?! I kill you.

Jeff: What?

Achmed: Huh?

Jeff: Well, anyway, we wanna thank Amazon.com for their help. Right, Achmed?

Achmed: Yes. A million thanks to Amazon.com.

Jeff: Right.

Achmed: Blow them up.

Jeff: What?

Achmed: Nothing. I kill you.

Jeff: I heard that.

Achmed: You heard what?

Jeff: You said "I kill you".

Achmed: Who, me?!

Jeff: Yeah, you.

Achmed: Oh, that. That was just a joke. (fake laugh)

Jeff: What kind of joke is it to say "I kill you"?

Achmed: Trust me, if you're a terrorist, that's funny stuff.

Jeff: Okay. Yes, huh... (Achmed's foot falls)

Achmed: It's terrorrist humour. Fix my foot.

Jeff: Sorry. (fixes foot)

Achmed: It's very dark. If you--(Achmed's other foot falls) Fix my other foot.

Jeff: Sorry. (fixes foot and drops the first one)

Achmed: If you were a-- fix my other freakin' foot!

Jeff: I'm sorry.

Achmed: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!

Jeff: Sorry, just... fix the feet. (fixes feet) Got it.

Achmed: Okay! Okay! It's very dark humour.

Jeff: Yeah.

Achmed: If you were a terrorist, you'd be laughing your buttocks off. See, I don't have any buttocks.

Jeff: I got it. Now, we're trying to make a nice videoclip for Amazon.

Achmed: I'm sorry. I will behave.

Jeff: Promise?

Achmed: Yes.

Jeff: Now, where was I?

Achmed: Hey, what's that over there?!

Jeff: What?

Achmed: I kill you. (both his feet fall)

Jeff: Thank you. Thank you.

Achmed: No, thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Jeff: For what?

Achmed: For buying our DVD.

Jeff: Right.

Achmed: Fix my foot.

Jeff: Ok. (fixes feet)

Achmed: Nice. Was that a cut?

Natural Life

Animals and plants cannot understand our business, so we have denied that they can understand their own. What we call inorganic matter cannot understand the animals’ and plants’ business, we have therefore denied that it can understand anything whatever.
All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.

--Samuel Butler

What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your present circumstances seems more likely, consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.

--Douglas Adams

"The Buccaneer's Guide to Faerie" is a 21st century-written book of the authory of the Buccaneer wizard biologist Captain Morgan Monkeypen, its title giving alusion to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The book teaches several ways for human beings to find and distinguish the species of supernatural beings that populate the Earth, how to protect oneself from them and, ultimately, how to become one. Since its first publishing in 2056, it has become widely popular amongst Mythology-lovers and Neopagans, often used as a grimoire, and has been an essential instrument upon the Faerie Revolution of the Third Millenium. Despite several more unfortunate circumstances which had eventually led to bloody wars, "The Buccaneer's Guide to Faerie" has proved itself to be of interest even to the faery world, becoming one of the top five best-selling post-Renaissance books for faeries and witches of all the world, along with titles such as "100 Ways to Cook Water-Nixie", "Touristic Spots of Atlantis", "Fifty Reasons Why Kidnapping Children Stops Global Warming", and "Twilight".

Fanboy: What would happen if Ranma got pregnant as a girl, then changed back to a boy?

Rumiko Takahashi: I don't think about that, and neither should you.

Red vs. Blue

I believe when I am in the mood that all nature is full of people whom we cannot see, and that some of these are ugly or grotesque, and some wicked or foolish, but very many beautiful beyond any one we have ever seen, and that these are not far away... the simple of all times and the wise men of ancient times have seen them and even spoken to them.

Nay, every lone tenement, castle, or mansion-house, which could boast of any antiquity had its bogle, its specter, or its knocker. The churches, churchyards, and crossroads were all haunted. Every green lane had its boulder-stone on which an apparition kept watch at night. Every common had its circle of fairies belonging to it. And there was scarcely a shepherd to be met with who had not seen a spirit!

Michael Aislabie Denham, 1895

Midas: Like what?

Foster: (takes off a list and starts to go through it) Among the many fates, the most popular of the 2006 voting were:

Eaten by a sphinx

burnt by a dragon
turned into stone by a Gorgon
turned into stone by a basilisk
eaten by a basilisk
raped by a basilisk

Paganism

Monotheism is, to me, a great simplification. I mean the Qabalah has a great multiplicity of gods, but at the very top of the Qabalic Tree of Life, you have this one sphere that is absolute God, the monad, something which is indivisible. All of the other gods, and indeed everything else in the universe, is a kind of emanation of that God. Now, that’s fine, but it's when you suggest that there is only that one God, at this kind of unreachable height above humanity, and there is nothing in between, you’re limiting and simplifying the thing. I tend to think of Paganism as a kind of alphabet, as a language, it's like all of the gods are letters in that language. They express nuances, shades of meaning or certain subtleties of ideas, whereas monotheism tends to just be one vowel and it's just something like 'oooooooo'. It's a monkey sound.

Guardians of the Galaxy Annual 001

Elf: (on humans) Their precious free will, capable of conquering mountains and oceans, only brings out one trait in them: covetousness. Everything in their lives boils down to it. To have more than they already do. Gold, women, land, titles, glory... men only live to possess. It is both a great strength and a terrible weakness that makes them conquerors as well as thieves. Iwolena says that is what makes them so great and fascinating. That their paradoxes drive them to create so many new things.

Piratage

Captain Morgan Monkeyzen: Being a pirate's not about knowing how to swordfight. It's about knowing how to avoid swordfighting.

There are only two rules of tactics: never be without a plan, and never rely on it.

Magic the Gathering

Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.

The Colour of Magic

Perhaps on the rare occasion, pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy... Piracy itself can be the right course.

Shireen: You were a pirate once.

Davos: No, I was never a pirate. I was a smuggler.

Shireen: What's the difference?

Davos: Your father lacks an appreciation of the finer points of bad behavior.

Bush was fucking Paris Hilton in that video. All to get your mind off the war. Bush lied to me, they all lied to me: "We gotta go to Iraq because they're the most dangerous country on Earth. They're the most dangerous regime in the world." If they're so dangerous, how come it only took two weeks to take over the whole fucking country? Shit.

Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul

Yo oh heave ho

There are men whose hearts are as black as coal

Yo oh heave ho

And they sailed their ship cross the ocean's blue

A blood-thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew

It's as dark a tale as was ever told

Of the lust for treasure and the love of gold

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides

Yo oh heave ho

There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides

Yo oh heave ho

And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum

The devil himself would have to call them scum

Every man aboard would have killed his mate

For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight

A piece of eight

Five, six, seven, eight

Hulla wacka hulla wacka something not right

Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight

Hulla wacka hulla wacka sailor man beware

When the money in the ground there's murder in the air

Murder in the air

One more time now

Shiver my timbers, shiver my bones

Yo oh heave ho

There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones

Yo oh heave ho

When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed

There's no turning back from any quest that's laid

And when greed and villainy sail the sea

You can bet your boots there'll be treachery

Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails

Dead men tell no tales

On Friday morn when we set sail,

And our ship not far from land,

We did there spy a pretty, fair maid,

With comb and glass in hand.

And the raging sea did roar,

And the stormy winds did blow,

While we sailor boys were up aloft

And the landsmen down below.

Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship,

And a brave young man was he--

"I've a wife and a child in Bristol Town,

And a widow I fear she'll be."

And the raging sea did roar,

And the stormy winds did blow,

While we sailor boys were up aloft

And the landsmen down below.

Then up spake the little cabin boy,

And a pretty little boy was he--

"I'm more grieved for my daddy and mam

Than you for your wife may be."

And the raging sea did roar,

And the stormy winds did blow,

While we sailor boys were up aloft

And the landsmen down below.

Three times 'round our gallant ship--

And three times 'round went she--

For want of a lifeboat, all went down

To cold ruin and watery death,

To the bottom of the sea.

Universe

In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

--Douglas Adams

You know what they say, "There's no reason to ever hit a woman." Shit! There's a reason to hit everybody. You just don't do it. Shit, there's a reason to kick an old man down a flight of stairs. You just don't do it. Ain't nobody above an ass-whooping.

--Chris Rock

You don't need no gun control. You know what you need? We need some bullet control. Man, we need to control the bullets, that's right. I think all bullets should cost $5000. $5000 for a bullet. You know why? 'Cause if a bullet costs $5000, there'd be no more innocent bystanders. Every time someone gets shot, people will be like, "Damn, he must have did something." Niggas will say "you motherfucker, I'd kill you if I could afford it! I'm gonna get a second job, I'm gonna take a mortgage out on my house, and then you're a fucking dead man!" And even if you get shot by a stray bullet, you don't gotta go to no doctor to get it taken out, whoever shot you will take they bullet back! "I believe you have my property!"

--Chris Rock

It was already growling, and the growl was a low, rumbling snarl of spring-coiled menace, the sort of growl that starts in the back of one throat and ends up in someone else's.

-- Good Omens

Recruiting Major: Admiral – there have to be standards—

Ackbar: Major, ask yourself how many of the everyday heroes of the Rebellion – not just the names everyone knows – would have qualified to fight for their freedom under your rules, and then ask yourself if that answer doesn't make you look just a bit like a dewback's cloaca.

Star Wars

Violence is never the answer, unless the question is "what is never the answer?", in which case you could answer, "violence", but you'd be wrong, because violence is never the answer.

Dan: I will smack you so hard your grandchildren will be mentally disabled.

Doctor McNinja

Vaarsuvius: I may be in error, but I believe the appropriate proclamation is "Sneak Attack, bitch."

The Order of the Stick

Preston: You can't just kill people because you're asked to.

Deadpool: Uh yeah, I can. I'm a merc. It's what I do. You may have also heard I have a mouth?

Zhaan: My dear, I've kicked more ass than you've sat on.

Farscape

2D: I don't know why we're always the target of such a large amount of violence, but y'know, we're cartoons. I can't think of a single cartoon off the top of my head who isn't under constant attack.

Noodle: Never a dull day!

Rise of the Ogre

What in...

What in the infernal name of Iblis's shaggiest Y-fronts is that?

What in the name of Merlin's left nut was that?

What in the name of the Prophet's wrinkled nutbag is that?

What in Anne Bonny's voluptuous uncovered breasts is that?

What in the name of Hermes the creator of Caturday is that?

What in Adamastor's wrinkled lower storm clouds is that, bicho imundo?

What in the work of Samuel Butler, the Oscar Wilde of Venezuelan Beaver Cheese is that?

What in the full randomness of /b/ is that?

When Life Gives You Lemons

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

When life gives you lemons, save the receipt.

When life gives you lemons, say thank you, you ungrateful bastards.

When life gives you lemons, make apple juice, then sit back and watch the world try to figure how you did it.

Who the hell posted this in here? I´m calling the authorities.
