As many people over the years have had their quotes turned into familiar and famous sayings, I thought I'd try one of my own.

This one is about war.

Quote: "Words are more powerful than bullets; a single bullet can kill a man, but a single word can send millions to their deaths.
~Evil Star"

"Were it that easy" is one I've started using a lot on the web.

Usually I just come up with sayings on the fly, though.

Giving relationship advice (B):
Quote: "Women: Can't live with 'em, taste like chicken"


Said once jokingly but taken far too seriously by the person recieving it:
Quote: "Dude, I'll chop off your weiner, stick it in a blender, and make you drink it. Then you'll need to pee because you had a drink, but you can't pee because you just drank your weiner."

Come on, how do you take offense to something so silly? Humans .

"Friendly fire always has the right of way dude!"

"Hey, you ever get the feeling you're being followed?" (love saying that in Halo just before beating someone round the back of the head hehe)

"I want to say this was too easy, but fate will beat me down if I do"

"You know if they're shooting at you, probably means they don't want to be friends."

"Anything too simple, is a trap.."

"Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in command!"

"Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" (personal favourite)

"No **** Sherlock!"

"That's so wrong.. on so many levels"

"You've got about three steps, before I beat you to death with whatever is handy" (i tend to say that to my bro alot when he's screaming at his console cause he reckons it's cheating; but also tends to come up whenever i get into an argument in a bar ^__^)

"Man, you have the memory of a newt"

"Did you know, smart-arses have a high mortality rate... just a friendly warning"

".. yeah, i know .. the couch, wish I got frequent flyer miles from sleeping on it; I'd be able to go to Hawaii like I want"

About the only ones that come to mind, but I tend to come out with quite a few more; usually spur of the moment things that I've picked up from somewhere.

LOL I could have used that one just on halo 3, some american dude assumed he had the right of way when I was clearly firing at a guy, then began to throw me some abuse until I hit him with a mute.

One of my most used is:
Quote: "If you don't succeed, give up"

used to say that in zombie games - multiplayer mode.

Extending Matt's relationship advice, the "Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" is pretty popular (everyone knows it), so I have my own variation of;

Quote: "Women; Can't live with 'em."


with an upward inflexion toward the end (so it sounds like I'm going to keep going), but then I just walk away. Works a treat.

I also use the upward inflexion toward the end of this one;

Quote: "Wow, this reminds me of that time."


So it sounds like I'm going to go on, but I don't

quotes from me:

(this one is always directed at the same person, but he never seems to get it)
Quote: "Do not talk to me socially! I assure you whatever it is you want to say to me, I don't care!""


(just general quotes)

Quote: "It seemed fairly reasonable at the time"


Quote: "As long as it wasn't your idea, theres always some chance you can weasel your way out of this""


(when faced with an unpleasant favor)
Quote: "Well since I don't have any glass to eat or a needle to stick in my eye, I might as well""


(Theres a certain theme to the ones below, hope they don't violate the AUP, but it's something i say all the time- If a mod wants me to edit it out, I won't argue)

Quote: "Jesus Christ!"

Quote: "Oh dear Christ!"

Quote: "Christ!"


NOTE: To properly say all the Christ quotes like I do, draw out the I sound about 2 to 3 times as long as normal.

"I admire its purity, a survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality"

If you are to crap to succeed the first time and survive, you'd be crazy to go again, probably better to take the hint and try another hobby (Yeah, that's me just trying to find away out of your contradiction and trying to say that's what I meant when I first posted, when we both know that's not true.)
