  • The floor wasn't opened. I blatantly stole embalmer42's turn if that is what you are referring to.

      48 hours seems better, but otherwise, yeah, that sounds good.
      You've just proven signature advertising works!

      • Ok, 48 hours it is.

        Anyway, I think Wezil's new one is Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump, though I don't recall him saying it twice.
        Unbelievable!

        • No (not Gump).

          Sorry if I confused people but BOTH quotes are from the same movie. I just provided an additional hint to foster the right answer...

          edit - I haven't seen Gump but from what I understand of the movie they were probably paying homage to the movie I'm quoting. That would explain the use of the "I'm walking here."

                Yeah, IIRC it was when Gump was pushing Dan (a double amputee) in his wheelchair through NYC and a taxi almost hit him. He smacked the hood with his hand and yelled "hey, I'm walking here!" It was definitely only once though, so I'm only half right.
                Unbelievable!

                • do you want another turn to keep it going? I'm actually about to leave work. Go ahead anyone.

                    Someone would have to know this:

                    I'm walking here! I'm walking here!
                    I wanna cheat - Google says : Midnight Cowboy.

                    Seedle is right - if it's googleable, people ignores it.

                    Since I'm right in my guess, here is another :

                    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                      • That homage makes it even better! I'm so unseasoned

                        Unbelievable!

                        • Well done.

                          Borat also did it btw.

                          He has a scene in his movie that is shot in New York in the Midnight Cowboy style (well, kind of anyway ).

                            Dammit Embalmer, you are supposed to ask a new question


                            He's a slacker.

                            I'll steal his turn. He'll understand.


                            I'm not sure what theme you're aiming for so here's a generic easy one:

                            Frankly, you're beginning to smell and for a stud in New York, that's a handicap.

                            I'm shocked! A friggin' Wezil stealing my hard won turn! Unfortunately, some of us have to work and can't spend all day at their computers, not earning their massive salaries. See if I ever try to help you out again you
                            If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

                                So I was looking at a pitchfork and torches electronic mob that would have taken my computer down unless you stepped in to save me? Well, if that's the case.....
