“By Grabthar’s hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged.” Unfortunately, I really haven’t had to avenge anyone recently. ---

> [@DirkGntly](#): > > “I don’t have time to bleed.” And its corollary, “If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Actually I’ve used this one a couple times during RPG sessions, but it’s quite harder to drop in actual life. I’d also love to get an opportunity to say “Stop thinking X [where X is restrained and responsible] and start thinking Playstation: blow shit up !”, but short of joining the military I don’t think I’ll ever get a chance. Then again people in the military are all about blowing shit up, so even then the setup would probably not work… ---

I’m risking getting whacked with a decorative katana, an ice skate, or a living room lamp post, but I’m going to repeat what I said in the other thread, with some additions, since I don’t actually use these lines. I’m not spoiling anything with all these because they mean nothing out of context. To anyone else who loves the movie they’d get an instant glow of warmth with scenes flooding back into their heads and would probably want to go watch the movie again immediately. I’ll put them in spoiler tags anyway on the off-chance someone wants to see the movie without knowing any of the lines in advance. [spoiler] If I could, I’d use the words/phrases “Believe,” “Bruv,” “Fam,” “Trust,” “Plan,” “Allow it,” “Snitch,” “Murked,” “It’s raining Gollums!,” “Let’s get tooled up blood,” “No one’s ever going to call you Mayhem if you keep on acting like such a pussy,” “This is too much madness to explain in one text!,” “Alien GorillaWolf motherfuckers,” “Bully van,” “That’s blacker than my cousin Femi,” “See? Is that a dog? No, that is not a dog,” “You’d be better off calling the Ghostbusters luv,” “This is sick,” “You go out there and try feeding them some Pedigree chum,” “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy,” “Don’t give a fuck” (which if someone else says it, has to be followed by “brap brap brap”)" “What’s Ron’s Weed Room?”(and the answer which I won’t type) “Better get the next one,” “Go see what that is,” “There’s PoPo everywhere,” “I’m killin’ them, I’m killin’ them things!” “It’s an alien invasion” (if anyone says “Lovely fireworks”)[/spoiler]… and a few dozen others (seriously, there are tons more) in everyday life, if it weren’t for the fact that no one I know other than my dear husband would have the slightest idea what I’d be talking about. Wishing **Attack The Block** would hurry up and become a cult classic already so more people would get these. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by from this day until the ending of the world but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother, Be he ne’er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves acursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks, that fought with us upon St. Crispin’s day! I actually did paraphrase this on a hockey messageboard. I’ve always wanted to use “Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women” as my next year goal during my performance review. 😃 ---

I’m always avenging something… like the garbage. And, of course, I pledge: “I WILL convey this sodden bag all the way to the garbage can.

> [@Sevastopol](#): > > Point the gun at me, Yolande. Ha yeah, not much call for that one, or “Any of you fucking pricks move, and I’ll execute every motherfucking last one of ya!.” I often want to say “English, motherfucker, do you speak it?” but it’s kinda rude. I say it to my cat sometimes. Edit to add, love the Galaxy Quest references too. ---

I was always partial to Jack Sparrow’s usage of _Savvy?_ to say “You see what I mean?” and other similar phrases, but it just doesn’t work in real life. ---

But maybe I rescind my invitation if you’re that touchy! Ok, now I’m not eating and I can type with two hands instead of one finger. I do apologize. That response was a direct result of arguing with someone about how (to their mind) Attack The Block “glamorizes” hoods, thugs, chavs, whatever they’re being called today, and it’s unconscionable how the director is trying to make us sympathize with them and how said hood, thugs, chavs could never and should never be made the “hero” of any movie, it’s just irresponsible, blah blah blah. I was still in my defensive mode.
