” There is no way this winter is ever going to end, as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don’t see any other way out. He’s got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.” -Phil Connors, Groundhog day
So it’s groundhog day, and what better quote than one from the classic movie, Groundhog day. Groundhog day is one of those movies everyone needs to see. It is the classic Time loop movie, and who doesn’t love getting stuck in time.
In other news, 6 more weeks of winter this year. Yay.
Instead of saying I’m going to start blogging again, I’m just going to do it. We all know what happens when I say I’m starting back up again.
“From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.”
-Sir Winston Churchill
I love Churchill, and the only complaint I have against him is he’s British (I need at least one complaint). And of course, like most politicians, he has some great quotes. This is a quote sure to drive and grammar Nazi nuts, which is always fun. If you know any grammar Nazi’s, show them this quote.
“There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.”
I love contradictions, and this is a big one. Is it true, no, but yes. Figure it out yourself.
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
Hitler proved this was not true at all. Before world war 2, everyone tried to appease him, and look what happened. Moral of story, don’t feed the crocodiles, ever.
“For myself I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else.”
But being pessimistic is more fun.
“He drew a deep breath. “Well, I’m back,” he said.”
-Sam, lord of the rings
Sure, this is how Lord of the rings ends, but this blog is back! Again! Also, there will be a blog post every day this summer. And today we get this quote. And this new new song by Panic! and Fun. It’s awesome.
Well, here’s a video with a lot of good quotes. All of it really.
In fact, everything by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy is great.
Ralphie: I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!
Mrs. Parker: No, you’ll shoot your eye out.
Who doesn’t like the Classic movie A Christmas Story? No one, that’s who. This movie is just awesome, just like Christmas.
Also, Merry Christmas Eve! Have a great day!
Also, I think today is lick a pole day. Go try it out.
Firefly is a great TV show with many, many, great quotes. In fact, the entire series is so quotable, why only have one quote? Why not a couple, some of the Really good ones.
Book: “If you take sexual advantage of her, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.”
I cannot think if a funnier line in all of firefly. It came out of nowhere, and the delivery was perfect. Shepard Book said it with such a straight face. That’s one level of hell I want to stay away from.
Mal: “Well they tell you: never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.”
This sentence is pure truth. Plus, it sums up Mal’s character precisly.
Jayne: “Do you know what the chain of command is here? It’s the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who’s in command.”
Anything Jayne says is pure win, so I just picked one at random, because everything he says is just that awesome. Seriously, he just spits out one liners like their going out of style. But their not. At least not when he says them.
Saffron: “You gonna kill me?”
Mal: “Can you conjure up a terribly compelling reason for me not to?”
Saffarn: “I didn’t kill you.”
Mal: “You handed me and my crew over to those that would kill us. That buys you nothing.”
Saffron: (smiles) “I made you dinner.”
Oh, that’s a good reason. I would never kill someone who makes me dinner.
I bought some instant water one time but I didn’t know what to add to it.
-Steven Wright
Steven Wright is my Favorite stand-up comedian. That’s not saying much, as I don’t care for a lot of comedians anyways, but Steven Wright is awesome. Sure, most of his jokes are sarcastic one liners, but their still hilarious. Plus, his voice.
This guys a genius. He’s also insane, as some of his jokes make no sense, or are so confusing you can’t understand him. But still, he’s so quotable, and funny.
The Wii’s graphics limitations alone are enough to make it a severely limited machine for any kind of shooter. But I’m not here to talk about that. I’m here to upstage our resident Nintendo fanboy by beating him to Random Quote Thursday! HA!
“I’m 6’5”, 220 pounds and there’s TWO of me!” – Armie Hammer as a Winklevoss in The Social Network
Don’t ask me which Winklevoss. Same actor played both twins, so it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I bring up this quote for two reasons. First, it was one of the best lines in the movie. Secondly, the real-life Winklevii are at it again!
Wow they look like tools in that picture. But I digress. Even though they recieved $65 million in their original fight against Facebook, they are in an ongoing case against Zuckerburg and friends again, saying that they were not given an accurate assesment of Facebook’s worth when they settled in the previous case.
I’ll admit, these guys might have had a point the first time around. But $65 million later and they’re still whining? They’re just starting to sound a little pathetic.
“You’re dressed as a chicken! what are you… what are you…. what are you planning on doing dressed as a chicken!?!?!
-Fable 3
Sure, Fable 3 may have it’s problems, but it also has some very Crafty chickens. Very crafty indeed, as they may be plotting something. Plus, you can go thorough the entire game in a chicken suit. What could be funner?
Betting on the chickens. Yes, that’s right, you can Bet on chicken races. It’s the funnest thing to do in Fable 3. Well, not really, but it is entertaining watching crafty chickens race. And there is soon to be DLC which brings 10 new Missions involving Chickens! What could be better?
And of course, Chickens aren’t only crafty in Fable.
You better watch out…
Reality continues to ruin my life.
-Calvin
I love Calvin and Hobbes. A lot. In fact, it is one of my favorite Comic strips of all time. It’s great. Plus, their are so many good quotes. Like this one. Reality is destroying my life. Literally. If Reality didn’t exist, I would not age, and would never die. I hate reality.
Also, Reality has been keeping me from updating the blog more often. Or more often I’m just to lazy to. However, it is the second age of Random Absurdity. Updates all the time, or at least almost day. Flying Monkeys, reviews, Previews, it’s all coming back. Plus, a new mini-series before the end of the year. But for now, how about a few more quotes?
-As a math atheist, I should be excused from this.
I don’t believe in math either.
-This one’s tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen …
See what I mean?
Calvin: I’m a genius, but I’m a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What’s misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I’m a genius.
-I understand my tests are popular reading in the teachers’ lounge.
Have your ever written something on a test or assignment that’s so wrong or hilarious? I haven’t, but I’ve came close.
