Quote the Raven

[Darth Eggplant]

Gendo shoots he scores

so he is up to 32 points

 

*and the book is very funny

because it explains briefly

all the chapters that were omitted

from the original book and why

the modern publishing company

thought to do so.*

*in real life the man as a boy

had the story read to him by his

grandfather; who chose to skip

all the dull stuff, and because the

boy (now the man) never actually

read the book he did not realize

the dull stuff was in it,

and so when he became a father

and his son was ill he killed himself

to find a rare and out of print copy

and gave it to his son to read

whom by the way did not get past

chapter 2; and when the man found out

to his horror that his son did not

like his fav childhood book

and worse suddenly discovered

all the boring stuff

he convinced his publishing house

to reprint it adding the stuff

his grandfather use to tell him,

along with brief introductions

into each chapter omitted or replaced

and why the choice was made.

 

a prime example of this is when

the bride is chosen for the prince

the queeen sails to the girls home

to meet with her, well that chapter

consists of something like

26 pages describing in detail

the clothes and hats the women

of the time period wore;

and then for 19 pages or more

it described how the queen

went shopping with the girl

for hats and stuff,

not the kind of swash buckling

tale a young boy would like.

 

another great chapter was the

author's wife (supposedly)

going on in length another

40 odd pages about how clever

this story was

and how clever her husband was

and how lucky you the reader

were getting the chance

to read this book.

and this was right in the middle

of action chapters.

 

plus there was some funny stuff

that did not happen in the movie

which was a shame cause it was so funny.

 

anyways now you all know.

 

read the book if you can.

Hey, now that's not fair, my penalty and Gendo's points, coz I wasn't using that in the game!!! I wasn't actually Quoting a Raven. I was just saying something coz I was bored and I felt like it. I mean, who would be dumb enough to use a GF Raven Quote on the GF Forums??? It's insane!!! I wasn't Quoting a Raven!!!

[Darth Eggplant]

the fate of your points

is in the hands of the great one,

if he posts and says yes,

thaen you'll get the points back;

but if he says no,

well ....

we shall see

[GendoTheGreat]

No need for deliberation, I say: cull those points! The joke was very un-funny and all too obvious. However, if see another like it, I will not hesitate to take advantage. Perhaps a new rule is in order?

[Darth Eggplant]

in agreement

very much like Occam's Razor

the new rule will be

"Sanspoof Goof's"

that is when someone quotes

a Raven when it is obviously

a pigeon's egg from El Marrow.

and further protestation

of the the gaff,

will result in spinning

Ikarian's Wheel

where the Great One

will decide how many

negative bonus points

are lucky contestant gets.

 

so for the good idea,

2 more points for Gendo

bringing his score to

34

and Sanspoof only has

8 lives now:D

[Darth Eggplant]

"well at least

I didn't use a spoon."

[GendoTheGreat]

Title: Robin hood: Prince of Thieves

 

Char.: Sherrif of Nottingham

 

Actor: Alan Rickman

 

Director: Kevin Reynolds

 

A quip uttered by the Sherrif after offing his righthand flunky (who also happened to be his cousin) after yet another failed attempt by said flunky to usurp Hood's plans. The Sherrif previously been heard to discuss with his unfortunate former lackey his plans to remove Robin's heart with a spoon ("Because it's blunt you idiot, it'll hurt more!") after a run in with the wily Prince in which he came away the loser, sporting an impressive gash on his face.

[Darth Eggplant]

[GendoTheGreat]

It's just unfortunate for you I happen to be big fan Alan Rickman. Ha!

 

Here's one for y'all.

 

"Eleven out of Ten. Absoludle!"

 

For some it'll be a piece of piss. For others, much much less piss.

[JofaGuht]

that's a book called The Power of One. I read a while ago so I forgot everything else.

 

Hows this? "The only difference between Suicide and Martyrdom is press coverage."

[Darth Eggplant]

your signature could be

a wicked quote in itself.

as soon as Gendo chimes in

with an answer I'll update

any points coming to you.

 

in the meantime a second quote

to make things interesting.

Hey Gendo double or nothing

Trivia Master go for them both:

enhance 34 to 46

pull back

wait a minute

go right

stop

enhance 57 to 19

track 45 left

stop

enhance 15 to 23

give me a hard copy right there

[JofaGuht]

sorry if it's for gendo, but its Blade Runner. Forgot the characters name. It's directed by Ridley Scott. I perferred the directers cut of Blade Runner much better.

 

Oh, and thanks for the idea, eggplant. its a song if that is allowed

*it was actor Harrison Ford

"eat exuding oinks upon and bleed

decrepit broken bones at caustic

spells of hell!"

 

ah, yes the up beat song lyrics

of Mel Torme. so glad to see there's

another fan of the Velvet Fog out there.

[Sanspoof]

Cut me outta this game, okay? Remove me and my points.

[JofaGuht]

Velvet Fog? Sorry, I have never heard of them. When did Velvet Fog say this? We will see what was ealier to see who wins.

 

Mine was Residents Walter Westinghouse on the Fingerprince album of 1976. If yours was before '76, I'll consider myself stupid.

 

Was Mel Torme a Residents fan or was Residents a Mel Torme fan? We'll just have to see.

 

I have another quote, "BECAUSE THE OTHER THREE ARE FIGMENTS OF YOUR F*CKING IMAGINATION!"

[Darth Eggplant]

your quote sounds familiar

but my head is in velet fog tonight.

how about this quote

in lew of an answer:

"God's Holy Trousers."

[GendoTheGreat]

Give Jofa his well-deserved points for what I thought would be a head-scratcher for sure. I would also like to score some points off him:

 

BECAUSE THE OTHER THREE ARE FIGMENTS OF YOUR FUCKING IMAGINATION!

 

Title: Chasing Amy

 

Char: Banky

 

Actor: Jason Lee

 

Creator: Kevin Smith

 

Too easy, man. I hated that movie.

[JofaGuht]

Well, I wanted to give one away for all those who were so confused with my Residents quotes or my Palahniuk quotes(that reminds me his new book came out!).

 

I myself am a huge Kevin Smith fan, and I like Chasing amy. Dogma is my favorite though.....But I digress, I have some more headscratching quotes only known by people of underground music.

 

"Stand rigid for your next battle.

Peace means reloading your guns.

Love for life is all hatred in disguise.

A carnival creation with masks undone."
