I should stop doing long quotes of Dylan before I get sued...
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.
I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
-Bob
Gots to love the Bob. Happy pre-emptive Thanksgiving. A couple days "off" which means I'm busy doing things I'm not getting paid for--which seem to coincide with my sleep schedule being messed with. Whee.
Anyway, apparently in the long line of horrible "100 Greatest" film specials, they're doing the 100 Greatest film quotes. Among the horrid choices are:

Mama says, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
--Forrest Gump
Show me the money!
--Jerry Maguire
Yo, Adrian!
--Rocky
I'm king of the world!
--Ti-freakin-tanic
Here are some from the list that are good... (keep in mind pretty much any Woody Allen or Marx Bros quote deserves to be listed, but for brevity's sake...)
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.
--Animal Crackers
Don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love.
--Annie Hall
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid.

And of course, the Joe-Mammy.com partial list of great quotes that apparently aren't good enough to be better than "I'm king of the world"... stupid list people...
Well hello Mr. Fancy pants. I got news for you, you ain't leadin' but two things right now: jack and shit. And jack left town.
