Stupid quotes.

[paladin]

I remember when after Saddam Hussein was "elected" a couple months back, and 100% of all voters voted for him, someone in the media thought it was a sign that Iraqis supported Hussein. I think the exact quote was something like this:

100% of all Iraqis went to the polls with the same thought: "Yes to Saddam Hussein"!

Of course, when you have no other option, what would you expect the results to be?

Iraqis did have another choice if they didn't want to vote for Saddam. The other choice was called a bullet in the head after visiting Saddam's happy torture room.

I grabbed this stupid quote from a trekkie I was having a debate with on a transformers board. The debate was and ISD v.s. the Enterprise E.

Since most transformers fans barely acknowledge logic, let alone science, I decided to go with, to quote Mike, " The Lazy Man's method", of just using the stats given in the tech manuals.

first off the stats used for star wars are hyperbole beyond any belief.

2nd remember these power supplies are for what are still weak and obsolete lasers. You can put a kajillion terrawatts into throwing a rock if you want to it's not going to make it more powerful than a high intensity energy beam weapon

~emphasis mine


here's the thread if you want to read the whole thing. I'm dragonterratron and I enter into the thread on the 5th page.

After slashing through the typical trekkie arguments (the nav deflector, ISD bridge ramming etc...), I made more progress than I was hoping for: I was actually able to convince someone that the E-E isn't invulnerable to lasers.

Eric Cantona (disgraced fench football player) "Seagulls follow the trawler in the hope that fish will be thrown back" or something like that.

Ah now that was classic of celebrity navel-gazing.

Reporter : "So Eric, why did you kick that Liverpool fan in the head?"

Cantona : "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"

Complete stupidity from start to finish. unless you were a football fan at the time, in which case the man was apparently speaking universal wisdoms

Contestants on game shows give stupid answers sometimes. Once on the Weakest Link, the winners from episodes of Fear Factor were playing, and on the final round, one of the questions was "What year will the US celebrate it's 300th anniversary", and the person said "1872". People on reality TV shows are especially stupid.

Guy at the end of a string of 7 correct answers gets this question
"Which shakespeare play was about the Prince of Denmark?"
long pause
"Henry the fifth?"


he didn't see another round, i can't imagine why not.

Are you a fat Lager-lout, with a mouth larger than your IQ? Can you be a vacuous, narcisistic exhibitionist on a world-class scale? Has you hair dye seeped through your scalp and eroded what little number of brain cells had survived the onslaught of massive alchoholic binges? Are you a slapper? If yes then good luck on BB 4.

[Sienthal]

There's always the classic "All your base are belong to us" and "There is no chance to survive make your time"


My current favorite is, "I can't emphasize enough, princess, how much we need you in that chair...Ohh don't worry about him, he's fine, he does this all the time" -K, from MIB 2. It's only really funny when you hear him say it in the scene.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the car - except it's on fire!

It may not be the most intelligent thing ever written in English or something that closely resembles English, but it is really fuckin' hilarious. I love it!

"He's obviously gone in for a wheel change. I say obviously because I can't see it"

"With half the race gone, there is half the race still togo"

"Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna's Lotus sounding rough?"

"Anything happens in Grand Prix racing and it usually does"

"Alboreto has dropped back up to fifth place"

"As you look at the first four, the significant thing is that Alboreto is 5th"

"I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem"

"He is shedding buckets of adrenalin in that car"

"It's raining and the track is wet"

"and this is the third placed car about to lap the second placed car"

"they say clothes maketh the man... the clothes are Niki Lauda's, but the contents are me..."

"...Cruel luck for Alesi, second on the grid. That's the first time he had started from the front row in a Grand Prix, having done so in Canada earlier this year..."

This is an interesting circuit because it has inclines, and not just up, but down as well."

"Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is."

'Unless I'm very much mistaken....I AM very much mistaken!'

Ah Murray Walker, the one-man stupid quote machine.

"I don't think this is such a good Idea"- a total understatement when spoken by Al Borlan or by Boo-Boo Bear.

"Its 110 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark - and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it." *cue screeching tyres and one of the greatest car chases in the history of man*

That's not stupid, it's classic.

Trust me Cuddles, Jade was anyones for a pint of lager and a packet of crisps.
An expensive slapper wouldn't bother with Big Brother she'd just have an affair with the Prince of Wales.

I am duly chastised. *wanders off with head hanging low... sad violin music paying and the audience saying "Ahhhhh"*

Very good, Rob. You'll understand why it's important for you to obey soon enough.
