My husband used to play some game in which you could in fact poke another monster-like (ogre?) character, and it would repeatedly growl "Stop poking me!" We still use this line occasionally, along with early Bart Simpson "Ow! Ka-wit it."

Of course, we also still use "Svimvear! Veddy nice." Five points to anyone who knows that reference.

"Some game"? That was Warcraft II. I think you're referring to the Orc Grunt.

The poke sequence went something like this:
Argh?
Yes?
Argh?
WHAAAAAAAAAT!
Stop poking me.

The Alliance equivalent (Human footman) said things like "Are you still touching me?" and "Don't you have a kingdom to run?"

Mi amore goes through games pretty quickly. FPS, Civilization-type, space-based resources, they all look the same after a while. I'm sure he thinks the same thing about my various TV show crushes.
