You know, the first time I heard the line I wasn’t expecing it.
At this point, I pretty much _do_ expect the Spanish Inquisition. Especially 'round here.

I see at least one person still doesn’t expect it. That’s refreshing, I guess.

See, I expect the comfy chair around here more than the inquisition itself. See, as inquisition-savvy as we are here, the inquisition itself is more or less foreplay. The comfy chair is the main event, and quite frankly, the part that I very most enjoy. Why, some of my best inquisitions (conducting and being a part of) were done ONLY with the comfy chair. I do have a fondness for it, that’s certainly saying the least.

Our weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Fear and surpri- … Our two weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency. Our three weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Ah. Amongst our weapons are fear, surprise, ruth… Amongst our weapony are elements such as fear … I’ll come in again.

Well, it’s good to see that we, acting as a group, are still capable of overloading a server.
