I’ve thought of a few others I’ve said: **Quest for Glory V** [ul][li]“Well, I got back from Hades first.”[/li][li]“He’s the king _and_ the head of the thieves’ guild.”[/li][li]“You feed one of the dog’s heads a pizza, the next head wants chocolate, and I think the third one likes fruit.”[/ul][/li] **Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption** [ul][li]This area is a lot easier if you eat all your enemies."[/li][li]I think I’m ready – I have a good supply of rats in case I start to run out of blood."[/ul][/li] **Final Fantasy VII** [ul][li]“Cool. Having sex with that guy restored my life and magic. Better than safe sex – healing sex!”[/ul][/li] And adding _anything_ from Super Mario Brothers is just too easy. What were they smoking? 😛 ---

These phrases have permanantly worked thier way into my daily vocabulary. From Sonic the Hedgehog, BONUS STAGES! When something unexpected and unusually good happens. (I got an A on my math Quiz. BONUS STAGES!) GET A BUBBLE. Whan someone is being cluless on purpose. From ToeJam & Earl. GET A CLUE EARL. Again when someone is being purposefully dence. GET A BELT EARL. Especialy usefull on kids who insist on wearing the crothes of thier panrts at thier knees. OOGIE SHOES. (AKA Super hi-tops) When someone is running late. (Well, slap on the oogie shoes and get movin’) I’m sure there is more, but that’s all off the top of my head ---
