Darth Eggplant Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 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.

Sanspoof Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 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!!!

GendoTheGreat Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GendoTheGreat Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 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.

JofaGuht Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 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."
