Where's that quote from?
We all have one. A quote we absolutely love, but can't think of what it's from. Mine is:
"Strong like bull. Smart like tractor."
Does anyone know what it's from?
Maybe you have a beloved quote but don't know where it's from?I still bear the marks of the old Legion.

Re: Where's that quote from?
"But what does it do?"
"It doesn't do anything, that's the beauty of it!"
We've been debating and searching this one at another forum I frequent for YEARS.

Re: Where's that quote from?
How about this?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Sorry, got no idea on the others.
A polar bear is just a rectangular bear after a coordinate transform.

"You Gotta Be So Good, They Can't Ignore You."

Re: Where's that quote from?
Tiberian, I don't have them handy but that very well could be from the Shadow series from Card (Ender's Shadow most likely). But yes, read Ender's Game first! I'm a long time member of OSC's message board, been a fan for a looooong time.
Thanks for the avatar comment, I made that one for the current contest. :)

Re: Where's that quote from?
I have no idea where this is from, but I would like to know.
"Oh, he's on the List."
"You do realise that's not notepaper? That's a piece of bark."
"You're on the list too, smartass."[This signature still in committee.]

Re: Where's that quote from?
Not a quote, per se, but it's been bugging me for some time and I don't want to reread the book to find it out, but who is Aramis's valet in The Three Musketeers. I know D'Artagnan has Planchet, Porthos has Mosqueton, and Athos Grimaud, but Aramis's eludes me. I'm fairly certain it starts with a B.

Re: Where's that quote from?
Thank you , Zophiel. I knew it started with a B. It really is such a good story; I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

Re: Where's that quote from?
Well, for "Who's your daddy," it's hard to tell, but I was told that the most likely point of origin is in the song Time of the Season by The Zombies in 1968. Not a movie, but I would hazard a guess at that one.
