Define Cynical Fan Forums

There's a topic like this over on the Homestar Runner forum, and I thought, hey, Ozy and Millie is pretty quotable, why not see.<br><br>So the question is, have you ever been in a conversation or situation that made you think of an Ozy and Millie quote, and then you used it? Me, I've probably done it a couple times, but I can't remember any offhand.

I do ti a lot. There are a lot of things in O7M that can be aplied to life. I see a situation that reminds me of soemthign in one of the strips or a poitn taht can be made that was made weel in oen of the strips and I don;t hesitate to use it. There are too meny examples to list.

Yes. Yes I do. How can you not quote it?<br><br>But I have an ingenious scheme.

I quote O&M on a very daily basis. 'Course, I happen to be famous as a double-talker, so some O&M phrases are much more common than others. I seem to find meaningless conversation much more fun than anything worth quotable value.

I love to, because nobody ever understands. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sometimes people quote the strip to me, then have to explain that's what they're doing. Apparently some of you know what I've written much better than I do. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I can't remember exact quotes, but one morning I did go downstairs to my kitchen when my housemates were hungover and tried to start the day with a song in my heart by singing "Enter Sandman" very loudly <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The only line I'm likely to quote is the one about ADD: "If you don't like the weather, wait ten seconds."

if I posted anywhere besides here I might

Actually, I seem to have developed the tendency to remark "Joy and rapture" in a thick layer of sarcasm when appropriate. Generally when I'm in a doctor's office, or when I'm told to wait for a not insignificant period of time.

Whenever someone calls me cynical, I reply with "Define Cynical" <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I picked up the phrase "same general ballpark" from Llewellyn.
