    How about Monty Python quotes? (Or do I have to bring you a shrubbery first? )
    "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
    "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

    2008 Presidential Candidate (for what its worth)

      IIRC, it's basically a Genghis Khan quote, but slightly adapted for Conan.

          You clearly have an inflated idea of how clever and creative the Poly denizens are, and no perspective on the fact that an all-Poly quote feature would be amusing to no more than a few dozen posters.

            I agree! No to Poly-only-quotes

            Don't make me wheel out the Doctor Who quotes. Then everyone ELSE would be suffering.

              and what about all the civ-related quotes?

                Short quotes are best. Even then they go by as a blurr due to the general speed up since the ads disappeared.

                  Markos: Civ quotes would be considered part of Poly quotes. If the civ quote in question is even halfway interesting, I can guarantee that someone has posted it on the site too.

                    How about corrupted Civ quotes? Like:

                    Get DanSed!

                    or

                    Sava is for the weak!

                    or

                    Hail to the Ming, baby!

                        This isn't a civilization site, Mark, it's an off topic forum with some smaller fora about stupid games.

                        • Pffft. I doubt there would be enough content to hold my interest were this only an off-topic forum.

                          • Plus many of those that ended up in the OT were drawn to the site through interest in one of the silly games.

                              Don't we create the content in an OT forum? It is only as empty as our imaginations.

                                That's why there isn't enough content to hold Skanky's interest.
