My dad's necromancer has a new custom verbal component for Doom/Bane/Bestow Curse. I think it belongs here...
"Woe, dude..." - the worst pun ever.
He also raised an army of "undudes".Last edited by Cogwheel; 2008-02-24 at 09:51 AM.

Re: Favorite Quotes
These are a couple of quotes from Oscar Wilde, some old dude from the 19th century...
"Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you."
"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best."
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about."
"Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much."
"A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally."
"Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative."
Also, the second quote in my signature is an oscar wilde quote. Sorry if someone already did this guy, i just dont want to read all 7 pages.
Yay my first post

Re: Favorite Quotes
Ok, let's see if I can rack my brains for a couple of good quotes....
"Hey, lets get serious... God knows what hes doin'. He wrote this book here, an' the book says: He made us all to be just like him, so... If we're dumb... Then God is dumb... (an' maybe even a little ugly on the side)"
- Frank Zappa, Dumb All Over
"Love is a creature of time, but friendship is not"
- Patrick O'Brian
"To be young and write poetry is to be young. To be old and write poetry is to be a poet."
- Anon
"Sincerity is never planned. It must be made up on the spot!"
- Denny Crane.
"Every man would be a coward if he dared."
- Patrick O'Brian
"Authority is the solvent of humanity. Look at any family, look at the father, and at the absorption of the man by the role."
- Patrick O'Brian
"Without hope, there is no fear"
- Author Unknown
"Without hope, we live in desire"
- Author Unknown
"All certainty trembled - masculinity, power; the twin imperatives of dread and reason - all turned their collars up and denied knowledge of him."
- Clive Barker "The Madonna"
"...he was aware of his body as he had seldom been before: as a trap. Its fragility was a trp; its shape, its size, its very gender was a trap. And there was no flying out of it; he was shackled to, or IN this wretchedness."
- Clive Barker "The Madonna"
"No craft is very far from the line beyond which is magic"
- Lord Dunsany "Don Rodriguez"
"...it seemed trivial, emphemeral, modern, ill able to cope with the power of ancient things, dead days and forgotten voices, which make their home in the darkness because the days that have usurped them have stolen the light of the sun."
- Lord Dunsany "Don Rodriguez"
and finally...
"...for know that mere dreams and idle fancies, and all amorous, lyrical, insubstancial things, are all that we writers have of which to make a tale, as they are all that the Dim Ones have to make the story of man."
- Lord Dunsany "Don Rodriguez"
I had forgotten how much I liked these quotes. They have a calming effect on me. Cheers! :D
EDIT: huh.... I forgot to do an H.P. Lovecraft quote. how could I? Oh well, there shall be a sequel!Last edited by Danzaver; 2008-02-29 at 07:31 AM.

Re: Favorite Quotes
It's also quoted in the episode where Homer wants to be Ned's best friend, and he drives Ned up the wall. While Ned is speeding away from the house (Homer briefly gives chase in a scene reminiscent of Terminator 2), Chief Wiggum pulls Ned over. After he stumbles during a roadside test, Wiggum arrests Ned. As he's putting him in the squad car, Wiggum says, "Where's your messiah now?"
Here's another one from Futurama:
"Murder isn't working and it's all we're good at."

Re: Favorite Quotes
Can I sig that? Please?
For the list:
"Here's your beer, sir, and I've 0.00003 killed you?" - Moist von Lipwig to Pump (19, I think it was...please correct me if I'm wrong).
"Dude, you were asleep, and making serious happy noises" - Sam to Dean on Supernatural
"I told my Dad I was afraid of the dark once. He gave me a 4.5." - Sam to Dean, same show.
And this entire conversation from the same show and the same people:
"Dude, you seriously have to update your cassete tape collection."
"Why?"
"Well, for one, they're cassete tapes. For another: Metallica, *lists a few other bands* The greatest hits of Mullet Rock?"
"House rules, Sammy, driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole."
"Dean, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year-old. Don't call me that anymore."
"Sorry, Sammy, can't hear you, the music's too loud."
I grin.Just remember - yelling "Who wrote this ****?!" at the top of your lungs is a normal and accepted part of the editing process.
The wizard who reads a thousand books is powerful. The wizard who memorises a thousand book is insane.

Glorificus has thrown me a new favourite.
Glory: I look around at this world you're so eager to be a part of and all I see is six billion lunatics looking for the fastest ride out. Who's not crazy? Look around, everyone's drinking, smoking, shooting up, shooting each other, or just plain screwing their brains out 'cause they don't want 'em anymore. I'm crazy? Honey, I'm the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind, 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts.Everything I say is 100% TRUTH*

From Abarat (and sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree):
O woe is me,
O woe is me,
I used to have a hamster tree,
But it was eaten by a newt,
And now I have no cuddly fruit,
O woe is me,
O woe is me,
I used to have a hamster tree!

Switch "the Emperor" with "everyday people" and it works well enough.Before you ask, I didn't know what it meant when I put it in my username. Do NOT ask.
