1. Well I didn't vote for you.
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 12:26 AM by Fenris
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
(Angelic music plays... )
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: (interrupting) Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

4. Are you saying Ni to that old woman?
King Arthur: Um, yes.
Roger the Shrubber: Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
King Arthur: Did you say shrubberies?
Roger the Shrubber: Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.

27. Consult the Book of Armaments.
First shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three: no more; no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of thy counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count; neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight shall snuff it.

Ya gotta give it to the French, they're passionate!

6. I demand satisfaction!
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 12:36 AM by jpgray
Our Spanish skills quarrel ends this day! My conjugation of verbs and my cute acronym mnemonics to remember irregular verbs will brook no challenger! Nothing ensures a blood vendetta more than a humorous correction that backfires, and so therefore I challenge you, sir!

Actually as recently as last week I locked my keys in the building where I work. We have a Hispanic janitor there who doesn't speak English, and so I tried to explain what I had locked inside. Imagine my dismay when after wondering why he found my predicament so amusing I realized I had confused 'tijeras' and 'llaves'. :D

14. God, this just reminded me of a grade school story
The teacher was talking about medieval times and serfs and peasants and stuff and their awful lives and suddenly Charlie Featherstone (why DO we remember these names?) started audibly crying.

"What's the problem, Charlie?" asked the teacher.

"My dad. . .my dad. . .my dad. . .(sob) my dad SHOT a peasant this weekend."

Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 02:18 AM by barking_23
i've been here a while though just haven't posted much. usually just read lbn. in truth i was here at the beginning after the inauguration where i saw du posters in the crowd on the tube. i had the nick barking23 (without the underscore), but forgot my password and then changed my internet provider, so i couldn't retrieve my password (because my email addy changed) and had to start over eventually ( a couple of years later). for a while i was just too sickened over the whole mess to even want to look at anything political.

here's an entertaining tidbit. when i was first here with that nickname i posted a message saying we all should put our headlights on to protest the inauguration of the selected president, because here in the south when there's a funeral, people drive in the wake with their headlights on. my point being we should be mourning the death of democracy in our country. good gawd how i was flamed by all the repuke trolls that were flooding the board. i had only been on the internet for about a month and was just appalled. one sicko just posted one long string of "f*** you's" and called me all sorts of names.

i'm really glad it's moderated now.

and since i've been reading in these lighter areas like the lounge, i've been really pleasantly surprised by all the zappa fans.

man don't you wish he was still with us?
