Houston, you have a problem. This is Guido, the back-alley street salesmen. I’ve got your pilot here by the neck with a knife and a .45 to his head. So you better give me 10 million dollars or you’ll never see the light of day again. Which would be about 5 minutes. So you have 4 minutes and 37 seconds before he dies in two ways...

Getting punched on St. Patrick’s Day is something that would never happen to me because people have me labeled as one of those guys who’d run through the halls at school with an M-16 shouting "DIE!!

Praise the almighty Martha Stewart who has too much frickin’ time on her hands.
She keeps the planets all it orbit around the sun so they all don’t crash into oblivion.
And she has enough spare time to make sure that everything works perfectly.
But she still sucks.
Amen.
--Tim being weird again.

They used to play Red Rover, but they stopped because there was a certified psycho in our class named Me.

--Tim

I got everyone in the cabin that could read English to read this book. Well, actually there were these two girls that didn’t read it. They were those popular snot types. You know, the kind that are like "I broke a nail" and "I just LOVE Dawson’s Creek" and "Dave Mathews Band is so great!"

--Me, Ender’s Game (an awesome book! You MUST read it!)

The day before I left, my parents were saying what would happen if I ruled the world. I’d probably start by taking over Kentucky and name it Timucky. Then I’d take over Tennessee and just nuke it cause Tennessee sucks.

--Tim. No offense to those who like Tennessee.

This is Mir. This is Skylab. This is Australia. This is a bunny. Australia. Bunny. Dead.

Rocket go boom. Rocket go down. Rocket hit bunny. Bunny go boom.

--Tim, Paul, and me.

Little rabbit foo foo hoppin’ round Australia.
Along comes Skylab and bops him on the head.

--Tim

There is a thin line between braveness and stupidity. I stand on this line.

--Tim

Jay: If we've already beaten the Russians in the Space Race, why do we keep going up?
Me: We want to rub their noses it it!

--During the "Why Space" lecture.

We burn through the ice with a minisub and we float around and gather information; probably put a big gun on it in case there are any Europan whales we have to shoot.

--Jay

I like this line. "To collect MEANINGFUL scientific data." Now what does that mean?

--Jay, talking about Deep Space 2.

Yeah. The water’s warm and all the fish are like "Who did it?"

--Jay, El Nino.

Yeah. Houses fall down, locusts invade the fields, and the Olsen Twins make another movie.

--Me, El Nino.

Watch the birdie. ::pow:: You’re a pokeman and your name is Nicotine. Your main attack is to exhale on people. The only way to kill you is to do a Pillsbury Dough Boy impression.

--Tim talking about Men in Black.

Doesn't hearing his name just make you want to eat guacamole?

Krycek does not "frolic"!

That was perfect! Now do it again!

Why do all the handsome guys have to be evil?

--Me

Amy: What are you doing?
Shauna: Committing suicide.
Amy: Ok. Just don't make it too smelly.

No! Not my laundry bag! If you want to strangle yourself, use your own laundry bag!

--Me

If you wake up tommorrow, hanging from the flagpole in a little ducttape cocoon, it's not my fault.

--Tara

Where's my hairthing? Dammit, these things don't just disappear!...except Mulder's sister.

--Tara

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
My throat hurts when I sing...

--Tara, to the tune of "My Favorite Things"

There are other things you're supposed to look for in a guy! There's looks, too! And let's see...what else? Oh! Yeah! Personality!

--Shauna

Oh, Krycek! My heart beats! Ya know, he's younger...it could work...

--Tara

Tara: But we have to do our fight scene!
Shauna: But I'm doing my hair!

I'm a really good pickpocket, so that means I'll be a really good neurosurgeon.

--Tara

Shauna: You gave us the window of opportunity. We just had to open it.
Laurin: Yeah, well I had to close it...and I hope that your fingers get caught in the way.

--Cabin talk

We're just going to do laundry. We're not going to pick up boys.

--Christy

I'm going to brush my face. It needs brushing.

--Christy, half-awake

I am a flying tortilla!

--Written above my bunk

Scully doesn't think of Mulder as a lover. She thinks of him as a kid...that occasionally saves her life.

--Me

This van is the "little engine that couldn't".

--Me

I sort of just put two and two together and got three and a half.

--Tara

I wish that someone would jump me from behind so that I could kick the living sh** out of them.

--Tara

You're alive. Quit your b*tch*ng.

--Christy

Well, he does kind of look like a Bertram...

--Me

Hey! That kid has a Star Wars t-shirt! Not that I notice things like that.

Don't look you son of a---gun.

Tara:Alpha, Beta, Kappa, Delta, Gamma...

--Shakespeare meets the Greek alphabet

Tara: Good quote! Put it in your quotes book!
Me: Actually, I got it from Star Wars.

--Cabin discussions

It's a hard knock life for us,
It's a hard knock life for us.
Listening to Shauna sing
Every noon, night, and morning.
It's a hard knock life.

--Laurin

You're disgusting. You're grounded.

--Christy

Gimmie your quotie bookie objectie thingy of insanity!

--Tara

You think he's cute? He looks like an ugly version of Langly!

--Me

I'm gonna name one of my stuffed animals Patrick. It has to be adorable, cute, and squishy. Just like Patrick.

--Tara

Tara: Guess who I really want to see right now.
Shauna: Patrick?
Tara: How'd you guess? You must be psychic. Or psycho.

Um...Daddy Warbucks doesn't have dreads.

--Me

Tara: You look like...
Me: Kenobi spice?

Bye, bye Mr. Anakin pie,
Drove my chevy to the levy but it was being used by another Jedi,
And 'em good old boys were using lightsabers to poke out their eyes
Singin' this'll be the way that I die,
This'll be the way that I die.

--Tara in a rather confused state

I'm confused. And I don't like being confused.

--Tara

Tara: Why should I be nice to you?
Laurin: Because time and again I have tried to be courteous to you.
Tara: Tell me why I should be nice to you.
Laurin: Because time and again I have tried to be courteous to you.
Tara: Wait, wait, wait. Why should I be nice to you?
Laurin: Because time and again I have tried to be courteous to you.
Tara: Do you realize that you've just said that phrase three times?

--Cabin talk

Can I nuzzle your feet?

--Tara

Ok, if I wake up dead tomorrow, I'm going to be pissed.

--Christy

Me: Woah, Tara! I don't think Daddy Warbucks is interested in Annie in that way!
Tara: If you only knew...

--Annie

I'm gonna get another puppy. I'll name him Patrick but call him Patch. Isn't that such a cute name? Patch? Perfect for Patrick.

--Tara

Cassie: I hate earrings on guys. But on Patrick, it looks cute. Laurin: You'd think Patrick would look cute with a paper bag over his head.

You really should curb those homicidal tendencies.

--Tara to Patrick after he tried to toss people out of the tubes attached to the back of the boat.

Patrick hugged me twice. I can die happy now. Of course, I'd like to spend more time with him before I die.

--Tara

Person: What time is it?
Sharon: 25 past 8. That's 8:25 for you Americans.

--What's the time?

Quiet! I need to dream about Patrick!

--Tara

I'm normal. It's the rest of the world that's strange.

--About every quote-unquote weird person in the universe

Woo-hoo! My shoes smell!

--Amy

I'm going to miss not missing my parents!

--Shauna

Have I told you about my love affair with bleach?

--Christy

Don't mind me. I'm just psychotic.

--Shauna

When I look this good in the morning, I don't know how anybody resists me.

--Christy

Melanie: What are you doing up there, John? Do you have a scene in the orphans' bed?
John: I'd like to!

--Annie

I'm sure she could sing really well if she actually knew the tune.

--Tara

Patrick is handsome, nice, cute, and all that other squishy stuff.

--Tara

I'm being extra evil with sugar on top.

--Me

The new PINESY 2000! Now with detatchable head!

--Me

She looks like orphan Annie on steroids!

--Me

If you guys are late, I will personally shoot you in the foot and bury you alive.

The throat is the narrowest part of the river. It's also the deepest, hence the name "Deep Throat".

Jeez! Langly looks like Darth Maul!

--Reflecting on one of my drawings

Please go away often.

--Outside a travel agency

HA! I can beat you! I have HAIR!

--Elisabeth, pretending to be Leia

It's destiny. I'm supposed to smack her or something.

--Elisabeth

Woman looking after man, is normal. Woman looking after woman...I can understand that. Woman looking after film? Not normal.

--Conny, regarding my Star Wars obsession

Dressing up for handsome man is good, but dressing up for film is not normal!

--Conny, regarding my attire for Star Wars. I dressed up as Qui-Gon Jinn

Max: Why are they burning the Jawas?
Me: I don't know.
Max: [Jawa] Please! No! I'm aliveeeee!!!

That's scary. You look like you're either going to kill something or have sex with somebody.

--Me

And how are they going to explain why Palpatine went bad? Or why the citizens of Naboo would vote for a 14 year old? Episode Zero?

--Me

Wow! My A Cappella class is better than my Espionage class! They didn't even THINK about getting to class using the thermal vents to get to class!

--Alex, my A Cappella teacher. He looks frighteningly like Byers.

::singing::
There's no more chicken nuggets
But I like fish nuggets
So that's no big problem for me.
Please give me a nugget
Any kind of nugget
I like every nugget, you see.

--Ciyran

He's the sexiest 41-year-old alive.

--Shane

Fie! Fie upon you and all you stand for! Except Star Wars. I don't fie Star Wars. As for now, Star Wars is completely un-fied.

--Me, to Qua'or

We need confidence! We need caffiene!

--Molly

Well, Mr. Spock the Egg says you're illogical. So there.

--Qua'or

I would rather chew on broken glass.

--Someone in Earth: Final Conflict

Excuse me...you do not have the Jar Jar.

--P.J.. We were in a Star Wars conversation, using a Jar Jar toy to see who could talk.

Strike out of anger, Luke. That's a way to not succumb to the Dark Side.

--Max

Leia is the überwoman.

--P.J.

It's really cool, but I don't get it.

--Me, regarding Tori Amos' "Spark"

You pot-bellied, cross-eyed, feather-bottomed excuse for a duck!

--Mattimeo

I'm on a strict seafood diet. I see food and I eat it.

--Lauren

I once knew a girl...who loved to put spice in her sauerkraut. Soon, regular sauerkraut wasn't good enough for her. She needed spiced sauerkraut. Then, she needed to put even more spice in her sauerkraut. She became a Spice Girl. This leads to chaos.

--Kurt

Did you wake up this morning and wonder if someone would diss the size of your ears?

--Me, to Qua'or. My earphones weren't working on her because her ears are small, and I was telling her that it wasn't my earphones' fault.

Kayo will eventually snap and eat you. I don't think you want that.

--Miriam

We are bridge women! Like goats!

--Me. Kayo and I sing the bridge in A Cappella, and so I was celebrating that.

My goal for the day is that if I make a mistake, make it loud.

--Kayo

I am eating my head.

--Written on a desk

YODA IS GOD

--Written on a desk. I then copied it to the SHEEP on the back of my notebook (If you don't get it, I'll scan the sheep and show you)

Qui-Gon could've used some Bengay.

--Me. Qua'or and I like to joke about Bengay, the choice of all camp and school nurses for fixing everything. This comes from the shish-kebab scene.

Joni: Go sit on a potato pan!
Me: Oh, go mash your mnm's.

--Insults inspired by A Cappella warmups

No one really understands the rap anyway, so does it really matter if it's unexplorific?

--Me, regarding the lines in "Waterfalls". Explorific stuff is basically stuff applying to EXPLO.

Sebulba is so cute!

--Rachel

When I'm done with you, you'll need 2 tubes of Bengay!

--Joni

Borg. Sounds swedish.

--First Contact

Normality is a sin. I'm an angel.

Aaah!! She's going to hurt us so bad we'll need 3 tubes of Bengay!

--Me

Stop cutting me in half. It gets annoying.

--Me

And now everyone's favorite Star Trek character...R2D2!!!

--Antony

Ok, I'm dead. Now give me the lightsaber.

--Anne

So Han Solo is basically a high-ranking housewife?

You get the idea that people a long time ago had a lot of free time on their hands?

If you can see Böotes the ice cream cone, you're thinking like me. I don't know if that's good or bad, though.

Looking at all the quotes that you've taken from me, it occured to me that I have a sense of humor.

--Joni

You've just eaten food I bought. I now own you...until you go to the bathroom.

You dance like a Jedi!

--This guy at a CD store

My head is full of chopstick! I don't like it!

--Shane

Can we please refrain from using such horrible language? You have to eat with that mouth, so what do you want it to be dirty?

--Katie

Well of course Marron doesn't like it! That's why we do it!

--Me

We drive crazy people insane.

--Joni

I'm obsessed with my book. It's not finished yet. I have a character based on you. She dies.
