I Spoke Too Much - Conversation Topics!

we keep forgetting what it was we came to say

I'm not into progression. I'm not into fusion. I'm not into any of this shit... I'm just into doing what we do.

Shane MacGowan

~^~

There is no indignity in being afraid to die, but there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live.

Doctor Who

~^~

Get pushed, push back. The only way. No, not the only way. There was another way. Don't push to begin with.

Animorphs

~^~

It was as it had been in the beginning- all of his "NOs" had never been able to stop Life's I Am.

Young Wizards

~^~

If you needed your son to know that you loved him you should have told him when he was still alive.

Lost

~^~

I don't want to live in a world where the strong rule and the weak cower. I'd rather make a place where things are a little quieter. Where trolls stay the hell under their bridges and where elves don't come swooping out to snatch children from their cradles. Where vampires respect the limits, and where the faeries mind their p's and q's.

Dresden Files

~^~

Here's everything I know
about war: Somebody wins,
somebody loses, and
nothing is ever the same again.

Andromeda

~^~

Everyone can just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be... could be with the people they wanted... could live simple, no secrets.

Firefly

~^~

I'm afraid that God is speaking and no one is listening.

The X-Files

~^~

What kind of freakin' idiots live in this world? You don't kidnap a Louie Downtown. You ask, we give, no problem.

The Black Donnellys

~^~

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy

~^~

I spent so much time praying, I've run out of things to say. I'm having awkward silences with God!

Pushing Daisies

~^~

If I think I can figure things out, is that curiosity or arrogance?

Dollhouse

~^~

Those are just pieces. They could become spaceships or trains. The house was just an arrangement. The arrangement doesn't stay with the pieces and it doesn't go anywhere else. It's just gone.
xkcd

~^~

The opposite of war isn't peace...it's creation.

Rent

~^~

I want to sit down right now at my piano and write a song that people will listen to and remember, and do the same thing every morning for the rest of my life.

tick, tick...BOOM!

~^~

Was I really seeking good? Or just seeking attention?

Wicked

~^~

'Cause crazy is perfect and fucked up is perfect so I will be perfect...

Next To Normal

~^~

Can I do this? Can I feel this?

Zanna, Don't

~^~

You know how when you're sick to your stomach and you're like 'Please don't throw up' and then you're like 'I feel better! Why didn't I throw up sooner?' Well, I'm just sorry that I threw up on you guys.

[title of show]

~^~

One day, I'm walking to JFK and I'm gonna fly!

In The Heights

~^~

Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it...

christopher walken weapon of choice?

Now... Is this a weapon I would use against Christopher Walken in a fair fight (or if he was going to start a fair fight or if there was an oreo pie involved) or is this an actual "Christopher Walken weapon" that I would use in a fight against... Ninja Pirate Monkeys impersonating Chuck Norris?

Re: christopher walken weapon of choice?

I believe it is an actual Christopher Walken weapon that you would use in a fight against Ninja Pirate Monkeys impersonating Chuck Norris. But if you wanna talk about what weapon you would use against Christopher Walken, go right ahead! :D

Re: christopher walken weapon of choice?

Ah ha! Well then, I would use his mad dancing skills. They are very distracting and somewhat disconcerting and would confuse the Ninja Pirate Monkeys impersonating Chuck Norris making victory imminent.

Re: christopher walken weapon of choice?

Ooh. Excellent choice! Victory is yours, unless the Ninja Pirate Monkeys impersonating Chuck Norris have witness Christopher Walken dancing before, and have immunized themselves against it. Then what would you do, huh?

Re: christopher walken weapon of choice?

Bah! Foiled again. *ahem* Then I shall summon forth the power of Christopher Walken's fellow random old guy action stars David Carradine and Willem Dafoe! David Carradine will play his flute and lure the monkeys away (because nothing- not even ghosts- can resist David Carradine's flute), where they will find Willem Dafoe. This will, of course, cause the monkeys to spontaneously drown themselves in brain bleach... Those who find Willem Dafoe in drag hot will then be beaten to death with David Carradine's flute and then trampled by Christopher Walken as he foxtrots by dancing with John Travolta... Who is also in drag.
