Murc Game - Speak only in quotes

... Er ... oh, yes ... and the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou
take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more,
no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the
number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count,
neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number,
be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.


A monk, Monty Python's Holy Grail

Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen, and I was three.
Billie Holiday Lady Sings the Blues (1958)

Mommy's all right!
Daddy's all right!
They just seem a little weird!
Surrender

But don't give yourself away!

what does that have to do with the LAST post

[Brian Ellis]

The trumpets came out brazenly with the LAST POST. We all swallowed our spittle, chokingly, while our eyes smarted against our wills. A man hates to be moved to folly by a noise.
T.E. Lawrence The Mint (1955) pt. 3, ch. 9

"I fart in your general direction" (Monty Python in relation to the aforementioned trumpet)

[Brian Ellis]

So dumb he can’t fart and chew gum at the same time.
Lyndon Baines Johnson, in Richard Reeves' A Ford, not a Lincoln (1975) ch. 2 (of Gerald Ford)

Just when I thought you couldn't do anything dumber, you do something like this... and completely redeem yourself!

Redeem thy mis-spent time that’s past,
And live this day as if thy last.

Monetary units - none.

In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altairian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flanian Pobble bead is only exchangeable for other Flanian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.

(Douglas Adams, Natch)

Bien haya el que inventó el sueño, capa que cubre todos los humanos pensamientos, manjar que quita la hambre, agua que ahuyenta la sed, fuego que calienta el frio, frio que templa el ardor, y, finalmente, moneda general con que todas las cosas se compran, balanza y peso que iguala al pastor con el rey y al simple con el discreto.

Blessings on him who invented sleep, the mantle that covers all human thoughts, the food that satisfies hunger, the drink that slakes thirst, the fire that warms cold, the cold that moderates heat, and, lastly, the common currency that buys all things, the balance and weight that equalizes the shepherd and the king, the simpleton and the sage.
Cervantes, Don Quixote (1605) pt. 2, ch. 68

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. - Leonardo Di Vinci

[Brian Ellis]

Notre aventure est finie. L’hiver de cette année est mort comme la tombe. Peut-être quand nous mourrons, peut-être la mort seule nous donnera la clef et la suite et la fin de cette aventure manquée.

Our adventure is ended. The winter of this year is as dead as the grave. Perhaps when we come to die, death will provide the meaning and the sequel and the ending of this unsuccessful adventure.
Alain Fornier Le Grand Meaulnes (1912) pt. 2, ch. 12

Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
