Prithee pray tell, tis' a glamour cast twixt on the cusp of willow's wisps eve! The merriment and nadir of thine humors will come not cheap nor last through our revels aplenty. But, lo, softly yonder light breaks as understanding breaks like a wave borne from its thunderhead.

Fleeting moments granted by Gods of Chronos and the life sputters from the flickering candle. Tarry not long here ye fools but meander down to the barrels end to sup dry its yield!

Harken to the clarion call of thine prohets poetic musings, personified through our laments and odes to our dynos worshippings of perambulations on divinity wheels of freedom!

Your humble servant in requisiem sum pacem!

Or that famous line from the 'Outdoor Store Christmas Sale':

'Now is the Summer of our Discount Tents.'


There is providence in the fall of a sparrow.


If it was a meeting of bikes all talking like shakespeare - it would be like an episode of 'get smart' - I'll find a link.

Is it better to suffer the slings and bandages of the NHS or to go private?

There is no 'well' - just I knew him.

>> Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that.<<

or

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?
I'm down 'ere ya silly cow - I fell off the trellis!

or (my fav... and actually a quote)
And a lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like "You and me, babe, how 'bout it?

Love that last line - it's a killer!. So cool, classy and straight to the point.

Yogi Berra's second claim to fame is for being one of the most quoted figures in the sports world. He is credited with coining the deceptively simplistic observation, "It ain't over till it's over." But he's also known for his flubs. Here is a collection of the most notorious of these.

* "This is like deja vu all over again."

* "You can observe a lot just by watching."

* "He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.

* "I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.

* "I'd find the fellow who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it." -- When asked what he would do if he found a million dollars.

* "Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

* "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

* "I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."

* "If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."

* "If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

* "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."

* "Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

* "It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

* "Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."

* "A nickel isn't worth a dime today."

* "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

* "It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.

* "Glen Cove." -- Referring to Glenn Close on a movie review television show.

* Once, Yogi's wife Carmen asked, "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?" Yogi replied, "Surprise me."

* "Do you mean now?" -- When asked for the time.

* "I take a two hour nap, from one o'clock to four."

* "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

* "You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left."

* "90% of the putts that are short don't go in."

* "I made a wrong mistake."

* "Texas has a lot of electrical votes." -- During an election campaign, after George Bush stated that Texas was important to the election.

* "Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself." -- After being told he looked cool.

* "I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

* "Yeah, but we're making great time!" -- In reply to "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost."

* "If the fans don't come out to the ball park, you can't stop them."

* "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."

* "It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't."

* "How long have you known me, Jack? And you still don't know how to spell my name." -- Upon receiving a check from Jack Buck made out to "bearer."

* "I'd say he's done more than that." -- When asked if first baseman Don Mattingly had exceeded expectations for the current season.

* "The other teams could make trouble for us if they win."

* "He can run anytime he wants. I'm giving him the red light." -- On the acquisition of fleet Ricky Henderson.

* "I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

* "It ain't the heat; it's the humility."

* "The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."

* "You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."

* "I didn't really say everything I said."

"Is this a cheddar which I see before me?"

"To brie or not to brie, that is the question"

Whether it is nobler in the mind to succour

Or to take arms against a sea of truffles...

As is wont to cheddar other peoples remarks, the thief of time is not music to mine ears which unleashes the dogs of wars. On this day, s/he that stands this ruinous mix of torment will stand as a paragon of virtue, et tu? Has not a biker eyes, ears and a heart? The die is cast when good people stand idle and lose their whey. The cure for this is a fixed stare in the face of those jackanapes to be rennet! The thin blue vein is stopped evermore in the name of Edam and Eva! The lords of Camebert, Mousillion and Stilton will placated by these mews. Star-crossed lovers will weep with the wilting of the passing of Rosencrantz and Guildenstein who knew their cheese!

Blackadder
'The only decent impression he can do is of a man with no talent.'

'He's the most overrated human being since Judas Iscariot
won the AD 31 Best Disciple Competition.'


'She's famous for having the worst personality in Germany,
and as you can imagine that's up against some pretty stiff
competition.'

'It minds me not that you dress like a mad parrot and talk like
a plate of beans negotiating their way out of a cow's digestive
system...'

'You're the worst entertainer since St Paul the Evangelist
toured Palestine with his trampoline act.'


I fear your services might be as useful as a barber's shop on
the steps of the guillotine.'


'(Wales is) a ghastly place, huge gangs of tough, sinewy men
roaming the valleys terrifying people with their close-harmony
singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to
pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales,
Baldrick - you'll be washing spit out of your hair for a
fortnight.'


'You are to be congratulated, my friend. We live in an age
where illness and deformity are commonplace, and yet,
Ploppy, you are, without a doubt, the most repulsive individual
I have ever met. I would shake your hand, but fear it would
come off.' -- Blackadder,

'He's got a brain the size of a weasel's wedding tackle.' -- Blackadder

My fave Blackadder moment is the "Great booze up Edmund" transformation into "Great Boo's up" I would attempt to relay this but suspect the transcript would be less than perfect and that the imperfections would be noted - I therefore leave this to those greater than me (or that actually have the DVD and can touch type while watching!)

Why doncha jus' do a goodie google on the transcript oh bonny prince? I'm shure sum no-life geek has done just tha' fer ye edification!
