Quoting Scripture

[JohnW]

On too many mornings, standing in the kitchen as my brain boots up, I will find myself staring dully at the makings of my breakfast and saying,
'This is an apple. Say apple.'

By the same token, I'll identify roadkill with the words,
'It's a dead bird, Uncle Waldo.'

Once, in a job with which I was becoming steadily less enamoured, I answered my boss's inquiry as to when I was coming back from holiday with,
'Who said anything about coming back?'

These are just the ones that come to mind, and they're all early Alan Moore, but I wonder if ever, in the grip of despair, I might throw myself from a high building, would part of me be yelling, 'For freedom! For justice! For Mega-City One!' on the way down?

Surely I can't be alone in this. Surely there must be a few thousand middle-aged oddballs out there who go about muttering random quotes from 2000AD in unguarded moments?

No, but I think I might start.  Looking forward to going to the fruit aisle of the supermarket tomorrow so I can admonish Rackle to "Mind the oranges, Marlon"

[Barrington Boots]

I'm not sure about using these in public, but "Your mouth is full of wrong" is one that gets used a lot in my house. "Bojemoi!" too as well and of course, the classic '"Izzat so?"

There's a line in You are Mean Machine where Mean runs through a crowd with a Judge helmet perched stupidly on top of his head and says "Outta my way, I'm a stinkin' Judge". This is my favourite 2000ad to quote / bastardise of all time.

Not out loud, but I can never see a mentor death scene in a movie without mentally adding Judge Shmaltz's famous last words: "And another thing...uuuh!"

[JayzusB.Christ]

Very humble ones from me, I'm afraid.

Not out loud, when I'm making plans: 'Here's what we're gonna do.' (Ugly John from Button Man)

Not out loud: 'You will be.' (Dredd again,  but in my case I also have to pretend that the person who pissed me off said sorry.)

Out loud, when realising something: 'Wait a minute.' (Dredd, who also says it to himself out loud in a PJ Maybe story.)



None of them are exactly 'Gaze into the fist of Dredd', I know.

[Funt Solo]

I do sometimes use "one chance - [boot knife]", but replacing it with something innocuous like a stapler. And I just do it in my head, because ... they're watching!

The Judge Dredd figurine in our house does have conversations with mini-Solo where he's entirely in character and they entirely disrespect his authority.

 - "Is that sugar in that bowl, creep?"
 - "It's not illegal here, Judge Dredd! Now, let's put a dress on you!"
 - "Assaulting a Judge! 20 years!"
 etc.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

"I know lots of things. Cat's cradle!"

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

"I know lots of things. Cat's cradle!"

(PJ Maybe's first words to Dredd, I think)

I think that in future, anytime I have to class up my appearance, I will straighten my tie in the mirror and say:
"Stak! He wears a suit!"

I like it    Think I'll follow, er, suit, on the one or two days a year I don't dress like a Norman Rockwell hobo.

For when you're undoubtedly rocking the Max Normal look.

Not out loud, but in moments of hard decision and cold certainty – when I'm committed to what needs to be done:

"Gimme the pie, Charlie!"

(Like when I want that pie, for instance)

Well if that's the way this thread is going, then let's take it all the way and flog this (well-dressed) horse into the ground.

Guffaw!  Have to admit I read the title first and feared the worst but my fears were groundless
