Also here are some quotes from the facebook page 'I hate it when you're with MC Hammer and he won't let you touch anything':

I hate it when you're with Lil Bow Wow and he keeps on asking you 'where my dog's at?'. Not only is it appalling grammar, he clearly isn't responsible enough to have pets!

I hate it when Madonna and Justin Timberlake are too busy standing on cars to save the world

I hate it when Bruce Springsteen dances in the dark and knocks things over. Idiot.

I hate that Aerosmith are constantly watching me because they don't want to miss a thing, it's unnerving.

I hate it when you're alone with Elvis and he's got a suspicious mind...

Latin Joke

I came across this on a friend's facebook page and looked it up out of curiosity. It's a rather bad joke, but brilliant under those circumstances, lol. Apparently it's quite an old joke...

"Semper ubi sub ubi"

(Technically meaning 'Always where under where')
There was also another one next to the explanation of this one:

"Ubi o ubi est meus sububi"

Though this was not explained, I think it is quite obvious when you know the first one...

"I can't believe I got cut by a duvet" - Harly

"This quiz is like the lottery, you have to pay a pound to play but you have to answer questions to get the money" - Matt

From 'Bumper Stickers'

They're not really bumper stickers because I found them on the internet, not on cars, but they're still referred to as that...

'Let's eat Grandma!' or 'Let's eat, Grandma!' - punctuation, it saves lives

There's a fine line between speaking with a British accent and sounding drunk.

If you noticed this notice you will have noticed that this notice is not worth noticing.

The fact that you don't understand does NOT mean that it doesn't make sense.


Oh yes, and here are a couple I had on my phone but hadn't got around to putting up...

Overheard at Tesco
"Can we get some of this?" - Girl
"No, you're not colouring your hair, you're seven!" - Her dad

101 Favourite Comic Poems

I recently got out a book of amusing poems (title above), and I decided to put some of my favourites on here :). Of these, I particularly like 'On Taking a Wife', 'Weather Forecast' and 'Limerick about Limericks'.

Engraved on the Collar of a Dog, which I gave to His Royal Highness

I am his Highness' dog at Kew;

Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
- Alexander Pope


A limerick about misunderstanding

There was an old fellow of Tring
Who, when somebody asked him to sing,
Replied, 'Ain't it odd?
I can never tell God
Save the Weasel from Pop goes the King.'
- Anon

A Case

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today -
I wish to God he'd go away!
- Anon


On Taking a Wife

'Come, come,' said Tom's father, 'at your time of life,
There's no longer excuse for thus playing the rake.
It's time you should think, boy, of taking a wife.'
'Why so it is, father. Whose wife shall I take?'
- Thomas Moore


A Limerick about Eccentricity

There was an old loony of Lyme,
Whose candour was simply sublime;
When they asked, 'Are you there?'
'Yes,' he said, 'but take care,
For I'm never "all there" at a time.'
- Anon


Weather Forecast

The rain it raineth every day,
Upon the just and unjust fella,
But more upon the just, because
The unjust has the just's umbrella.
- Anon


A Limerick about Health

There was a faith-healer of Deal,
Who said, 'Although pain isn't real,
If I sit on a pin
And it punctures my skin,
I dislike what I fancy I feel.'
- Anon


Limerick about Limericks

There was a young man of Japan,
Whose limericks never would scan,
When they said it was so,
He replied, 'Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many words into the last line as ever I possibly can.'
- Anon

Quote from ages ago...

Just found a quote that I wrote down but never put on here. It's from January-ish I think. Talking about our crazy temporary art teacher.

"Doesn’t she remind you of a dinner lady? Like, a really posh one" – Alex C
"Kind of like a dinner lady but Mrs Doubtfire all the way" – Neesha
"With some kind of massive drug intake" - Abbie

I also found a quote from one of the Twilight books, probably Eclipse. I'll probably note down more quotes from the Twilight series at some point, next time I read them.

“Does that mean that he’s a better kisser than I am?” Jacob asked, suddenly glum.
“I really couldn’t say, Jake. Edward is the only person I’ve ever kissed.”
“Besides me”
“But I don’t count that as a kiss, Jacob. I think of it more as an assault.”

From my trip to see Carol

"Yes, it's economically sound, but isn't it just a bit pointless?" - Simeon

From some of the quotes in a very cool t-shirt shop:

What if the Hokey Cokey really IS what it's all about?

I'm not bossy

I just have better ideas

I'M NOT TENSE

I'm just terribly terribly alert

I'm not weird

I'm gifted

nice person

wrong planet

Of course I don't look busy

- I did it right the first time.

The Liver is

EVIL

and must be

PUNISHED

Teehee, good stuff.

College quotes

These are mainly various quotes that I have found scrawled in margins of my pukka pad.

"Are you planning on being your usual self in front of the ofstead people?" - Robert, to Mills

"If I came in and said 'me saw the dog', you'd either think I was regressing or I thought I was Tarzan. I can assure you that neither of those is true" - Jason

Handing out class assessment thingies (I'm not 'officially' in the class)
"You don't get one because you don't exist" - Mills, to Hazel

"Be careful, you don't know where she's been" - Mills, about Max

After a conversation about how our college used to be a boys school - talking about girls:

"Is that your artistic skills up on the board?" - Robert
"Yes, that's my earthworm" - Mills
"It's lovely, but why has it got demonic red eyes?" - Robert

"Apparently" - Robert
"He didn't die" - Jelena
"Yes, I'm quite pleased, I think I should get a certificate" - Robert

"I sort of wish I had a twin 'cause I do think the world would be a better place with another me" - College student
I got this quote while walking from college to the train station - the person was behind me and I overheard the comment which I found rather amusing...

These are a few quotes that Carol has on badges, I saw them the other day and severly coveted them :P

"What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
"No more Ms Niceperson"
"Blessed are the cracked for they let in the light"
"667 - the neighbour of the beast"

The Swan Princess

"'What else is there?'! She says, 'Is beauty all that matters?' and you say, 'What else is there?'!" - Rogers
"It was dumb, I know!" - Prince Derek
"You should write a book, 'How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less'" - Rogers
I love this, though the language-obsessed section of my mind was still thinking 'fewer!'

"Think! You must see something other than Odette's beauty" - Rogers
"Of course I do, Rogers. She's like, you know, how about... and then... I mean right?" - Prince Derek
*Rogers raises his eyebrows*

Quotes off my phone

Whenever I don't have a pen and paper handy (generally, any time when I'm not in lessons at college) and I hear an interesting quote, I briefly type it into my phone. I usually then forget about it. As I have now remembered, I thought I'd better put the few quotes saved on my phone into a blog now, before I forget again.

12/02/09

In choir - we were singing a strange Old English thing (see bottom of post for lyrics).
"The reason I chose this is because it's Valentine's Day on Saturday and this is a love spell. So if you can find some oaken ashes and a mute... you know. *shrug*" - James

"Elvis has risen from the dead, in the form of my sunglasses." - Ray

11/02/09

"Do your friends all look like you?" - Amy
"No! They look normal." - Dave C


Right, I just thought it might be interesting to put the strange love spell song (I think it was based on a poem or something) here. I've just found a copy of it on the internet, not sure if it's exactly the same thing we were doing (I think we may have had another verse or something) but you'll get the gist. Note the weird spelling...

Thrice tosse these Oaken ashes in the ayre;
Thrice sit thou mute in this inchanted chayre:
And thrice three times tye up this true loves knot,
And murmur soft shee will, or shee will not.

Goe burn these poys’nous weedes in yon blew fire,
These Screech-owles fethers,
and this prickling bryer,
This Cypress gathered at a dead mans grave:
That all thy feares and cares an end may have.

Then come you Fayries, dance with me a round,
Melt her hard hart with your melodious sound;
In vaine are all the charms I can devise,
She hath an Arte to breake them with her eyes
