I admit to being a pop culture geek.
GeekDad has published a list of
100 pop culture quotations that every geek should know. A few of my favorites follow:
“Spock. This child is about to wipe out every living thing on Earth. Now, what do you suggest we do….spank it?” — Dr. McCoy, Star Trek: The Motion Picture
“If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you
want… Well, that’s where you’re right. But – and I am only saying that
because I care – there’s a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market
that are just as tasty as the real thing.” – Chris Knight, Real Genius
“We’re all very different people. We’re not Watusi. We’re not
Spartans. We’re Americans, with a capital ‘A’, huh? You know what that
means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every
decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We’re the
underdog.” – John Winger, Stripes
“Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of
psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning’s
reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing
approximately six hundred pounds.” – Egon, Ghostbusters
“And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I
told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m
quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve
moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the
window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then,
they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my
Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the
staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take
my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…” – Milton Waddams, Office Space
