Weekend Discussion Thread: Riff or Line as a SloganYes, it’s another topic from Sue:
I’m expanding this to include anything they said on the show, including during host segments. Mine, for a long time, has been: “I’ve undergone a complex personal evolution wherein painful confusion has given way to what I like to think of as some degree of wisdom culminating in my current Zarasthustrian sense of self. Is that it?” What’s yours? 151 Replies to “Weekend Discussion Thread: Riff or Line as a Slogan”Commenting at Satellite News

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
“We have ‘E’ gallons.” – My wife, every time I ask her if I need to get gas while I’m out.
“Can I get a spot?”
When something is getting out of control, my daughter and I use “Nothing…nothing…” from the Movie.
Runners up are “We place our faith in Blast Hardcheese!”, “Nanu” as a gentle affirmation and “Pleased to Meechum”.
Non sequitur honors go to “Sting, Debbie Reynolds and God!” Popping out of my mouth apropos of nothing.
And actually got to use “don’t leave me with the Germans…!” with a bunch of Germans.
Potatoes are what we eat!
What, nobody’s suggested “I’M COMMMIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!” yet?
“Why don’t de look?”
“Coach will totally reem me if I don’t file my report…”
during work (and it has been a long day, like today)

Oh, #70 nailed a good one-“Kegs will be tapped, men will be used” is now my S.O.’s battle cry.
From Daddy-O: “gym policy…I’m gonna have to have that locker key , fella”
“You do it. I’m bitter.”
“Time for go to bed!”
“Does just walking through it make you want to kill yourself? Well then it’s a high school.”
The whole world is a circus if you look at it the right way. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand, every time you stop and think, “I’m alive, and being alive is fantastic!” Every time such a thing happens, you are part of the Circus of Dr. Lao.
I actually quoted this on my friend’s wedding video. He said he cracked up even though he didn’t get the reference at first.
This is where the fish lives. It literally applies to every situation.
I’ve had a surprising number of occasions to use the line ‘Can’t we just get BEYOND Thunderdome?’.
My nuts?
You make sun go away, you powerful.
A little bit obscure, from Girls Town, but it always cracks me up.
Apologies if someone else already cited this recurring line from the Joel seasons (although a cursory glance didn’t reveal it):
“Do what I…… do…”
I dunno why I didn’t think if this earlier: “Time for go ta bed” has been spoken in my home at least a few times a week for many years.
Wow. That story really needs to get back to Joel. :yes:
Well I’m from Wisconsin so every year for 4 months I yell “Go Packers!”, “Whoooo”.
“And no one will ever know Santa Claus was kidnapped by Martians!”
And the one that use far more often than I would like – ‘It helps if you’re stupid!’.
Eeeuuuk-uueeel!
Ah,my first impulses were for “Kegs will be tapped; men will be used” and “I must, but I cannot! How do you calculate that?” but I’m late to the party and you all beat me to it :-)
Not necessarily my own motto, but “That guy’s got a ball of pain inside” (from “The Crawling Hand”)comes in handy at least once a week!
This has been a great thread to read today–and reminded me of so many good lines! I’m going to start incorporating “You do it, I’m bitter” into my normal conversation now. Thank you, won’t you?
I often toss out a completely random “Hi-Keeba”, but nothing beats a “So won’t you, won’t you?”

# 12 Stoneman – thanks for that one, I never heard it and have used it twice a day ever since.
“So…Time For Booze” from the “HIRED!” short is a favorite of mine.
Also, my daughter and I will always say “That’s just for fun!” as Joel would often do when a really lame or obvious joke is presented.
So many great lines, it is hard to pick just one…
I agree with Pearl:
“Oh, just let me check to see if I care..(looking through piles of papers)…no, seems like I don’t” :-*
“He learned too late, that Man is a feeling creature…”
“What’s the easiest way to get this done?”
“Let you do it.”
Nobaody ‘gets’ me…I`
“Nobody ‘gets’ me….I`m The Wind, baby !”
One word (and if I can grab a fist full of air and bring it down dramatically, all the better),”Rockin!” Works even better if I am wearing my Castleton t-shirt. Also a convenient text.
Whenever I sit down to dinner with a nice cut of the other white meat I am sure to say, “Ah, ham. I love it!” It also serves quite well as my slogan.
“Yeah? well people bug me, too!” is another one that I often find applicable.
“Time for go to bed!” is used every night. I also use variations of it like “Time for type staff report!” or “Time for eat lunch!”
Rock n’ Roll Martian!
Something I’ve used every football season: PACKERS!!!
I wish I could have used “Packers won the Super Bowl!”
“Nobody gets me. I’m the wind, baby.”
“I can’t (…), I don’t know how it works!”
“I worship Cthulhu”
Can’t remember the ep., or if it’s MST3k (or Film Crew? I know it’s a Mike Nelson line), but I live my life by, “well, wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one fills up first…”
To Matty G:
I believe that one was “Once Upon A Honeymoon” (or something -something honeymoon..close, anyway). In this short, the housewife was wishing for better appliances.
“I’m the wind, baby!”
“It’s not his fault. He can’t help being creepy.”
“Everybody evacuate!”
“We already did sir!”
I say Servo’s “That really burns my toast when…”
from Terror From the Year 5000
So many- but the one my wife & I constantly come back to, from The Final Sacrifice:
“I sensed that with my hair. My hair is a complex network of nerves, constantly processing information”
“We’re getting into a whole weird area here.”
I will usually respond with Crow’s “I was abused as a zygote” line from “I Accuse my Parents” when asked what I think are pointless questions.
