What is your favorite quote at the moment that you heard either a while ago, recently, or whenever?

Could be something from a comic, anime, another game, WoW itself, even a fellow guild member. Tells us all what it is!

I've a ton from Airplane!. What an awesome movie...the best, I think, are these:
Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

[reading newspaper headlines]
Rex Kramer: Passengers certain to die!
Steve McCroskey: Airline negligent.
Johnny: There's a sale at Penney's!

Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Considering where I am tonight, this one's doubly appropriate:

As I write this, Mr. Berra is receiving a lifetime achievement award from the Yankees at their annual homecoming dinner. I'm on showcall as a haze operator and across the room from the podium. This is my job :)

I live Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the original. With Gene Wilder.

Willy Wonka: So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

Willy Wonka: You lose! Good day, sir!
Willy Wonka: [shouts even louder] I said good day!

Mrs. Gloop: Don't just stand there, do something!
Willy Wonka: [unenthusiastically] Help. Police, Murder.

Mike Teevee: Look at me, I'll be be the first person in the world to be sent by television!
Mrs. Teevee: Mike, get away from that thing!
Willy Wonka: [unenthusiastically] Stop. Don't. Come back.
Mike Teevee: Lights, Camera, *Action*!

Mr. Salt: What is this, Wonka? Some kind of funhouse?
Willy Wonka: Why? Having fun?

I also love spaceballs.

I have a few from Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series:

-'The true way to a man's heart is six inches of metal between his ribs. Sometimes four inches will do the job, but to be really sure, I like to have six. Funny how phallic objects are always more useful the bigger they are. Anyone who tells you size doesn't matter has been seeing too many small knives

- "I felt like I needed a button that said, 'No, I don't want to have a bondage three-way with you, thanks for asking, though."

-"I'm your bodyguard. If you die under my protection, the other bodyguards will make fun of me." Edward to Anita

-"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read."

-"I decided to ignore it. If the poodle got loose, I figured I could take it. I was armed."

-"I hoped he was right, but one thing I've learned about vampires-they keep pulling new rabbits out of their cloaks. Big, fanged, carnivorous bunnies that'll eat your eyeballs if you're not paying attention."
