Who Said That?!
 

This is a quoting game. Example:
Person 1: ummmm............."A Handbag?!"
Person 2: ooh! The Importance of Being Ernest!
Person 1: Correct! Your go!
Person 2: ummmmm................."Oh, I'm so fatigued. I had to go to Bath to get cured of the fatigue. And now I'm so fatigued by the cure, I shall have to go to Bath again.To be cured of the fatigue..."

anyone not get it? Good.
First quote: "Oh, I'm so fatigued. I had to go to Bath to get cured of the fatigue. And now I'm so fatigued by the cure, I shall have to go to Bath again.To be cured of the fatigue..."

Hmmm. Is that The Scarlet Pimpernel?

If it is, heres my quote:

"What are you deeing man? This is hand to hand combat not a bloody tea dance!" (deeing = doing with an accent)

If its not, ignore it.

It is indeed that demmed elusive pimpernel! Well done!

Umm...is your quote from Kidnapped by RL Stevenson?

Nope. That is totaly along the wrong lines.

Seems to be from "Billy Elliott", but should be "man-to-man", rather than "hand-to-hand".

Who said this?

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

(Should be fairly easy.)

Damn, I checked it as well!

mudshark - Aristotle?

'Tweren't Aristotle.

Uhhmmmm . . . Twain? :D

Given my predilection for Mark Twain, that's not a bad guess ....

... but, no.

Think more in a science-fiction direction.

Well, here's a quote from me, which is also in my signature.

"Ye and God said to Abraham, 'You will kill your son Isaac.' And Abraham said, 'I can't hear you, you'll have to speak into the microphone.' And God said, 'Oh, I'm sorry, is this better? Check-check, check. Jerry, pull the high end out, I'm still getting some hiss back here.'"

For some reason, that cracks me up so bad. lol

You also get 20 extra points of you can tell me what it's in reference to.

Uhm, if you're going to put a quote up in this game, your kinda meant to get the previous person's quote right :wink:

I think it would be a good idea to have a rule keeping any one quote from dragging on too long. For example, after three wrong guesses, maybe the use of Google could be permitted. Just a suggestion. This is Valium's thread, so it's his call.

Funny quote, Ved. I don't recognize it (or mudshark's), but it reminds me of a couple of other things. (Believe it or not, that site was the most normal source I could find for the second one....)

Ummm.........I agree with Zeke.....except maybe make it 4 incorrect guesses.....

Sorry if I hijacked your little game, Valium, not that the rules are very clear, but...get over it. I didn't have an answer for his quote anyway.

From Foundation, by Asimov, spoken by Mayor Salvor Hardin of Terminus.
The latter has been one of my favorites since I was a kid, though this may be transcribed from a different performance.

We show respect to fellow members here, Vedra. It is Valium's game, and he wasn't criticizing you, he was clarifying how it works. Nobody has anything to be mad about here.

I apologize, Valium. I was in a bad mood and I took your message the wrong way.

I should probably go back to not posting here like I did before.

Sorry this is most likly me being stupid, but that all got a bit confusing for my pathetic mind. Wheres the actual game at now? Whos quoting?
