Situations where you could quote "The Motion Picture"

[GeneHunt]

There will be one of these every week: next week it will be "The Wrath of Khan" and so on. Here is a couple:

When an asteroid is heading towards earth:
"An alien object of unbelievable destructive power is less than three days away from this planet"

When a word colleauge called "Decker" questions everything you do:
"STOP COMPETING WITH ME DECKER"

When you get a letter from the army asking you to come in:
"They drafted me!"

When you go into your local computer shop:
"Unbelievable technology"

add more people!

Tonight when I'm with my girlfriend I'll drop my trousers and say "What do you suggest we do? Spank it?"

Tonight when I'm with my girlfriend I'll drop my trousers and say "What do you suggest we do? Spank it?"

Shall this lead later on to 'tooorpeeedoes.... avayyyy!' ?

Tonight when I'm with my girlfriend I'll drop my trousers and say "What do you suggest we do? Spank it?"

Shall this lead later on to 'tooorpeeedoes.... avayyyy!' ?

Or maybe I'll say "I've successfully penetrated the next orifOMG I'd better stop now!

There are countless occasions where "This is how I define 'unwarranted'!" would be, err, warranted.

 

[Nardpuncher]

Whenever a guy walks into the room I'll say "Why...why it's Mister..." and let someone else say his name.

 

[Mr Silver]

I occasionly quote the movie...favourites tend to be

"I sense...puzzlement?" (usually during awkward silences, etc)

"Carbon Unit!" (just on the spur of a random)

"I suspect it may be necess...." (occasionly)

I had to ask someone twice to sit down at the beginning of a meeting once. On the third time, I couldn't help it: I said, "Will you please...sit down."

No one got it but me, but I giggled madly on the inside.

In our group of movie friends when someone says anything that has the word "thing" in it one of us always says: "Why is any object we don't understand always called a thing?"

 

[Smellincoffee]

"It's like working in a damned computer center!" when your job forces you to stay 'connected' all the time.

 

[LeadHead]

When people hit me up for a ride, it's easy to work in "Well wasn't it lucky for you that we just happened to be heading your way."

When I miss a golf shot and it goes to who knows where and someone asks where it went, you can say "Out there... thataway!"

 

[Potemkin_Prod]

I'm married to a Chemical Engineer. "I know engineers...they love to change things." comes up a LOT over 25+ years of togetherness.

 

[Psion]

When I'm sick I walk around saying "Malfunction. Malfunction. Malfunction." If it's a head cold and I've got vertigo, this becomes, "Emergency alert! Negative control at helm!"

I frequently hold up a single digit and hiss, "Isssssh!" when something needs to wait. If I'm coming up to a red traffic light, I follow it with "BaH!" as soon as the light turns green.

On occasion, I've had the opportunity to say to guests, "Would you please ... sit ... down?!"

And whenever I back my car into the driveway, to the great exasperation of my wife, as soon as I stop I announce, "Attention launch crew: Travel pod available at cargo six. Travel pod available, cargo six."

Hmmm ... I appear to be flawed.

 

[T'Girl]

Whenever you hand something to a co-worker, report, phone, stapler, doesn't matter, you say these words;

"You have proved yourself worthy to receive this symbol of pure logic."

And when faced with a new female, mentally push a button and imagine her standing in front of you in high heels, dress only in a very short white robe. Not exactly a quote, but still ...

 

[Basill]

At work, when an overly anxious computer colleague wants to show off some sparkling newfangled technology...

"This device serves no purpose."

 

[Solarbaby]

When I burn something in the oven or microwave I always say " what we got back didn't live long, fortunately"

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Not necessarily from TMP, but in our house we don't have gas. We "vent plasma".

 

[ClayinCA]

Forgot this one: if you're explaining something to somebody who just doesn't get it, say, "I sense...puzzlement?" (This works even better if you can arch one eyebrow.)

 

[sbk1234]

If someone's attitude, etc. is really pissing me off, I say something acknowledging their "continued predilection for irrelevancy."

I use this one on my father a lot. Not being a Trek/sci-fi fan, he sure as Hell doesn't get it.

It was even funnier when I was saying this in 1979 at 12-years-old.

If you're in a close match in HALO or Call of Duty, "It's borderline on the simulator."
