This is Quote Pool Club.
The rules of Quote Pool Club are simple. If this is your first post to Quote Pool Club ... you have to volunteer a quote. (To explain, even though it's funnier not to: I talked to Drac about the quotes that we have pop up, and think that they're cool, but we need more.) The ones he likes will be added.
I'll start us off:
"Our arrogance is our power."
To be clear: This is entirely true.
Quotes haven't been changed in a while. This is because nobody dares to ask with a quote.
Your quote-fu is weak, a blackbelt of quote-fu would see their words at the top. Round 1.
"You can send all the trolls in the world at me. At the the end of the day, they're still just trolls!"
"I don't have a drinking problem. If anything, I'm TOO good at it!"
"If it has HP, we can kill it."
Too good to pass up:
<Ko-Miamiisdead> That's like tossing the population of a woman's supermax prison into a all girl's high school. People gonna get [tenderly loved].
<Fujisawa> Was that english-as-a-second-language? Are you ... maybe browsing a Spanish/Italian fic and didn't realize you had autotranslate on?
<@Kotono> Nope. Pure English.
<Yukari-sama> No, it's not. That is anything -but- pure.
(Edited us down to one-line each for brevity.)
<Fujisawa> That's like chewing on glass to remind yourself why you like the taste of ice cream. Probably effective, but ... why?
<Dracos> Yeah, it's got the guy from Nine Inch Nails in it! You know, David Bowie!
<Brian> I stand humbled by your vast My Little Pony knowledge.
<Fujisawa> ...and that's why it's ground to a halt.
* Fujisawa seriously has to buckle down and just put this uncooperative character into a coma.
<Merc> >_>;
<Fujisawa> Let the rest of the cast work around her.
<Fujisawa> ....
<Fujisawa> Oh, god. That's the perfect solution to 3 years of writer's block.
* Fujisawa makes a note for a new fight scene.
*is watching* Note: the quote line above is one liners. :) While fun to share, non-one liners aren't likely to get up there.
Yeah, but I think it's okay to add general SR-related hilarity. Once in a while.
...probably.
Technically, most of your quotes come from the non-#soulriders channel, you realize! ^_~
"SR is wherever Soulriders happen to be."
Also, reminding me of things like that makes me stab merc.
*Stabs merc* :)
"Happiness is mandatory, Citizen."
Totally so~
"As much as I hate summer, I have a more intellectual dislike of spring."
I'm certain there were other ones that were neat as well, but some of these have survived. Let this be known.
Boss's answer to a question at the all-hands meeting today: "I should know the answer to that, but I'm drugged."
On a related tack: "I'm sure I'd be a lot angrier right now if I weren't so heavily sedated."
I know it goes over length. It's still hilarious:
<Zeph> Pity I'm not male. I'd totally go for those cute Swiss chicks.
<Willim> You're not?
<Fujisawa> His character that's going to Switzerland isn't.
<Willim> Oh.
* Willim loses interest.
<Zeph> Good thing I'm not female in real life.
<Zeph> There would be hardcore creepin' going on in here.
Oh, man:
<Zeph> Drac's inner teenage girl is attempting to claw its way out of his psyche.
<@Kallen> This room has that effect on people.
<Fujisawa> "Run! ESPERBABBLE!"
<@Koaway> I'd answer but I'm about to start playing the bassline for this.
<@Kobrb> ...
<@Kobrb> Hahahahahhahaa.
<@Kobrb> Dammit, I snorted soda out of my nose. Sec.
<Fujisawa> My evil knows no bounds.
<Fujisawa> Now, imagine if I didn't typo!
<DrunkenBri> It occured to me while drunk, so it must have been genius.
Edit: Fixed. Credit where it's due.
Quote from: Iron Dragoon on September 19, 2011, 12:14:44 AM<DrunkenBri> It occured to me while drunk, so it must have been genius.
Oh, lawd.
Someone's gonna post that idea later.
"Why is the sky grey? Why is the grass grey? Why is a rainbow grey grey grey grey grey grey and infragrey?"
"That's like the guy who looks at a sword-swallower and goes, 'Okay, now, battleaxes.'"
Some have made their way into the quotes.
"Give a hobbit a fish, he eats fish for a day. Give a hobbit a ring, he eats fish for an age."
"If you give a man a fire, he is warm for a day. If you set a man on fire, he is warm for the rest of his life."
<@Kotono> A cat just handed me a hover-jet. I'm about to have a very bad evening, aren't I?
<Yuthirin> Lay off the mescaline.
Both of them work!
"Text is totally visual."
"This is your thread on crack."
"You know how there's some people you wouldn't want to meet in darkened alleys? Yeah, we're not those people. We're the ones you don't want to meet even inside a well-lit law firm."
From a co-worker, and too long, but I laughed:
<gooz_work> you only need three tools
<gooz_work> 1) duct tape -- for when it moves and shouldn't
<gooz_work> 2) wd-40 -- for when it should move and doesn't
<gooz_work> 3) a big wrench -- for when the other two tools don't work
Excellent =)
<Zeph> Now you're trolling.
<Zeph> STOP TROLLING ME, SON.
* Quits: Zeph (~Zephylin@68-31-138-70.pools.spcsdns.net) (Connection reset by peer)
<Fujisawa> NOW I'm trolling you.
"On the other hand, he is probably the only person who I know for a fact can beat my casual knowledge of Ranma fanfiction. I'm ... not sure any of us should be proud of that."
Names and some details have been altered:
<Buddy> I don't even want to ask what'll happen when you leave.
<Pal> I'll tell you: It won't be my problem anymore.
Come on, guys, let's get some more quotetributions in here. :p
<Fujisawa> We went from voyeurism to exhibitionism.
...well played, Yuth. Well played.
"Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives."
-Tyler Durden
"I have crafted a code jenga. Figuring out which piece I pull out to cause the explosion. Each day truly is a different wild adventure."
'Code' could be replaced with almost anything. Brilliant.
"Being able to say 'I told you this wouldn't work' is always worth hoarding old email."
The spacebattles thread for "A Hero" (Madoka with a Dalek thrown in) had this gem:
"DA-LEK SCIENCE EXPLODES BY DEFI-NITION. THE TRICK IS TO MAKE IT EX-PLODE USE-FULLY!"
Or something to that effect.
<Slacker> What KIND of cheese slices?
<Fujisawa> It's like an endless spectrum of depravity and disappointment. A rainbow of failure!
Excellent quotage.
<Fujisawa> It's not a lack of dedication. It's a surplus of cheap.
* Kuyou has been assured that Yukari-sama's cans are MASSIVE.
<Kuyou> This is on record.
[22:51] <Yuth> Never before has socialism sounded so delicious.
<Fujisawa> Of course not, we're awesome.
<@Jaela> I guess a dragon can still be sold for scrap
<Fujisawa> Having a cell phone doesn't make you any more of a jerkwad than being a necromancer. Though it's true enough that the same proportions of people tend to abuse that power....
Way, way, way too long, but this is what greeted me when I came in to work and pulled up IRC:

That's what you get for not being on the cool side of the netsplit. =p
I had Drac with me, so enjoy the cool side -- I'll settle for the awesome one. ;)
That's pretty epic.
<Kuyou> "Buddy down -- hit 'Nakama' button to continue."
<Kuyou> "Damn, if it's always going to go this smoothly, I'm going to drink for every install I do!"
Keepin' the thread alive. :)
<@Ebiris> Stop going "Oh god, Hipstersssss!" Zombies are popular now because people subconsciously feel the world is nihilistic and mindless, just as alien invasions were popular back then because people were terrified of communist invasions. It's a sign of the times, not some 'in' interwebz meme.
Pretty awesome line, Eb =)
[13:22] <Ragnar> 1% of mollusks have 99% of the tentacles. OCTOPI WALL STREET
<Ithea> "If you can spot some unwanted yet strong minions for us to use as cannon fodder, that'd be peachy."
This one's especially great out of context, but was overhead from one of the crew working on the refit of our lab (on his cell phone):
"Won't budge? Alright -- bring me the rod and the clamps."
<Kuyou> Mmmmmmbaking. The most delicious coping mechanism.
<@Dracos> It's great to have a friend who bakes.
"To live each day as though it were your last is not to plan for the future, which is unfathomably stupid. Although such commentators assume we will all send loving messages to lovely people, it's just as likely that we'll go on a killing spree or use our retirement fund to hire 1000 prostitutes for the mother of all orgies."
From a freind's dad. Who is a baptist preacher, by the way. WHich makes this even funnier.
This is a test of the Emergency Dragon System. This is only a test. Had this been an actual dragon, you would have already been devoured.
=) *amused*
<Fujisawa> There's a phase of NGE-watching where everyone believes it actually means something.
<Fujisawa> (It does not.)
<@Shao_Koahn> At worst, I shall craft a fruit rollups golem.
* Yukari-sama puts away the dungeon and picks up the dream.
Putting away the dungeon and picking up the dream.
Hmm...
*ponders that one*
Literally, "Time to stop playing Dreadmore and work on that fanfic," but Hal's choice of wording was especially awesome. :)
Quote from: Brian on January 09, 2012, 09:40:09 PM
Literally, "Time to stop playing Dreadmore and work on that fanfic," but Hal's choice of wording was especially awesome. :)
Purely accidental, I assure you.
<Fujisawa> The vast majority of forums.spacebattles in a single line: "It's WRONG that that this thing I don't like is popular!"
[20:57] <@Tiny_Ko_Army> I'll still eat your lunch, don't worry. Hal just makes better lunches. Oh, Hal's kawaiier too.
I'm going to lodge an official whimper here.
I dunno why that makes you whimper when I could just post stuff like this instead:
<@Tiny_Ko_Army> Can you wave a magic wand and make us all cute magical girls?
This line probably belongs in Ko's sig, but he says it often enough:
<@Koaway> Gonna be one of these fics.
<Shao_Koahn> Didja wanna see the review I'm writing, Brian?
<Fujisawa> You know I live for that kinda thing.
<Fujisawa> "I dunno what the fics about, but I hear someone's writing an angry review about it~!"
I don't often quote myself (outside of the hatebot thread), but when I do ... I make fun of the site owner:
<Kuyou> Going to wander over to Drac's and beat him until cookies and co-op fall out.
I don't even know where to begin.
<Pavel> [Twilight] deserves attention in the same way that <POPULAR POLITICIAN YOU DON'T LIKE> deserves attention. It might have few merits of its own, but it affects a lot of people.
This came up in a discussion on Fox recently:
<Slacker> I just need to quote one thing: "I gave up a lot when I discovered my pony name."
Is his pony name a killing word, by chance?
We wish
I've got one I'm proud of: "The truth is stranger than fiction, but not stranger than fanfiction."
I like that one.
heh
<Ko-SERIFSARETHEDEVIL> I mean, I can deal with catgirl riding trolls. I can deal with pixie assassins. I can deal with profanity laced angels.
<Ko-SERIFSARETHEDEVIL> Targeting robots just break it for me, dammit.
"There are no grades given for goals or wishes. No matter how small they may seem to others, as long as I keep moving forward they will eventually come to fruition." ~Fate/Extra Player Character
<@Kuyou> The anime community loves to turn all of the characters from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Saga into teenage anime girls. So why don't we get them to apply that to WWII generals? I can't wait to see the waifu wars between fans of Churchill and Rommel-tan!
Better than Reagan and Gorbachev-tans. That was way scarier.
You guys are going to pay for my brain bleach once you're done with all the turning ugly politicians into Japanese schoolgirls stuff, right?
Just you wait, we'll get you and Agasa bad enough to churn out fanart of WWII politicians in seifuku.
Good timing! Guess what Jenna found while surfing DA yesterday~

...why does the the universe never do me favors when I joke about winning the lottery? But WWII leaders in seifuku? Suuuuure....
<Yuthirin> Try HARDER. Sex each other MORE.
<Music-chan> FINE
<Music-chan> Since you said so
<Yuthirin> Well I did.

"Hindsight is 50/50."
From the latest BHoC: "If at first you don't succeed ... use more fire."
Sage advice. If that don't work, make the fire hotter.
Monsters (and Ranma) in that story have a very... interesting type of logic.
<@FujiOhki> My pride as a man, lost in a tide of kitten spit.

<Midnight> Such sage words.
<FujiOhki> "Why won't you let me cast win!?"
* RagnarXIV is now known as Ragnar
<Music-chan> Ragnar 14? Who let that get out of hand?
<Luthorne> Ah, well, it's a long story involving an illegal genetics experiment, trying to create a human with an abnormally developed tactile sensory apparatus, allowing them to potentially sense things no other human could with just a touch of their hand. Sadly they were all grope fiends, and the experiment was dubbed a failure, and Ragnars I through XX were released into the wild.
<Luthorne> One scientist believed that perhaps the Ragnars knew something about breasts that conventional science may not have been ready to comprehend...but he was in a minority.
<Luthorne> Still, even to this day...he wonders. And squeezes his wife's breasts in memory of the Ragnars.
* Music-chan gives the story an A
"Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world."

We could use some Kang quotes:
"Well, it's much like the dilemma of the centipede. If he relaxes and lets things happen, he can walk naturally all day long, his hundred legs not missing a step. But, if he thinks too hard about the complexity of what he's doing, those legs might crash into the teahouse and kill everyone. A valuable lesson."
"Next time I hide something, I'm packing explosives around it. Explosives shaped like silver bananas! Stops thieves, monkeys and monkey thieves in one fell swoop."

Some of your favorites may have made it.
Some might not.

That is all.

Heh. Schlock?
Yup.
"It's not our fault; we were programmed with the most tragic back-story imaginable."
< MuForbis> Whatever the hell I write, it says my writing is 'Upset' and that I am concerned with 'Death'.
<Kuyou> Why damn with faint praise when you can damn with horrifyingly specific praise?
"Advertising is societal corrosion. It eats away at our experiences, it reshapes our thoughts, it homogenizes and neuters our culture, and it's all because people [...] see 'not making any money' as an inherent problem with all sorts of aspects of our lives."
