I used to say, when leaveing a place temporarily, "MacArther". When folks would say "Hah?", i'd say "I shall return."
....These days, i would use"Schwartzenagger" = "I'll be bach".
....Sure, hardly genius, but i was wondering...do you guys ever use B-movie lines and referances to sturr the pot, or just to see who "Gets it?"
....Ever get a plesent suprise, when someone smiles, and responds in kind?
....Well, with that i mind, here are some lines  i like to throw at my co-workers. Its not easy to befuddle them anymore, as they know me, and do not want to encourage me!
-----------------------
...."Hail, Freedonia! = Ready to start the day, boss.
...."No, mr Bond, i expect you to die." = Are you gonna help me with this project?
...."The door swung open, and a fig newton entered." = Good morning, boss.
...." To in-finity...and beyond!"  = how long is this stupid meeting gonna last?
...." Ants...they looked like giant ants!" = what did you think of my vacation pictures?
...."Keep looking to the skys!" = where can i find fred?
...." Good, bad, i'm the one with the shotgun." = Its not my job, and your not my supervisor.
...." Well, one things for certian...inspector clay is dead...murdered...and someone is responsable!" = Thanks for reitterating the obvious.
...." I love the smell of naplam in the morning." = aw, man...did frank do the coffie agine?
...." With great power comes great responsability." = yeah, i can get the copier fixed.
...." do you suppose i could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?" = Any questions?
and, finaly (yea).... " Can you stand the shocking facts behind...grave robbers from outer space!?" = So, how was the high school reunion?
....Hey, i'm easily amused...at least i admit it........

Were you drunk Flange when you wrote this??  There are so many spelling errors!  No offense but when I see this many misspellings in a single post, one of  two things enter my mind.....DRUNK or UNEDUCATED!!!!  Learn to spell!  Please!

In my martial arts class, sometimes our sensei (instructor) will want us to practice with our throwing spikes.  To my fellow classmates I will say "Hey!  If he wants spikes, give 'em spikes!"  I'm surprised how many actually get the reference.

A couple of months ago I got a new gi (that's martial arts uniform to those who do not study japanese martial arts).  Someone pointed out that my pants seemed new, to which I replied "Well hello Mr. Fancypants."  

A few more:
"This is my Shinobigatana (or Katana, or Hanbo, or Kasari Fundo, or whatever weapon you use)!  There are many like it but this one is mine!"

"God has a hard on for Black Belts!!!"  When practicing our throws, this would end with "...because a black belt throws everything he sees!!"

Yeah, it's nice being easily amused.

Yep, as someone who writes for a living, misspelled words always jump out at me. However, on the internet, where a disturbing number of people cannot spell, it's far easier to just enjoy the discussion, without picking on the spelling. Flange is not much of a speller, but he's obviously a smart guy who knows his movies, so I tend to focus on what he's saying. Cut him some slack.

As for the topic at hand, I wish I had something to contribute. Unfortunately, I can't think of any particular B-Movie lines that I use in daily life. I just make obscure references as the situation demands, and accept the puzzled stares.

Yeah, I do that a lot.

Me too.

I even had a chance to say :"Dry hair's for squids" recently :)

Sorry about the spelling, Ashthecat, but you should see it before i clean it up to post!
....Thank Andrew for the edit feature.
....Also, i'm so focused on what i'm saying, i often forget to watch closely at the lettering. Sorry. Just doin' the best i can on a high school education.

What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?   (To any of the clueless 'technicians' i'm forced to clean up behind)

Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife, doomed is your soul and damned is your life.  ( To the user who has forgotten his password for the 1millionth time.. how hard can it be to remember your own name?? )

Be faster to train a monkey.    

Que?  (in my best Manuel voice)

Keep watching the skies!

Hail to the King , Baby.  

I know your damn words!

This is my BOOMSTICK!  

Who has violated the sanctity of  my precious bodily fluids?  ( Who drank the last of the coffee and didn't refill the pot?)

I got a dragon and I Ain't afraid to use it!

but we only have 14 minutes to save the earth!

Clytus, I'm bored.. what plaything can you offer me today?  ( to my boss)

Flangepart is definitely not stupid and I highly doubt he was inebriated.  I think that he is often pressed for time, possibly not an experienced typist, and the computer he has access to does not have a spell check.  Any of those are common causes of spelling errors.

That being said, I also enjoy reading what he is thinking about.  The gentleman is never rude and often has things to say that are amusing or insightful.  Despite his spelling, that is a darn good example to set for an Internet message board.

"Negative Ghostrider" = No
most of my friends now know to follow it up with "the pattern is full"

Que? (in my best Manuel voice)

I speak English real good...I learned it from a book....

I whistle "Camptown Races" a lot.

As a regular lurker and infrequent poster, I'd like to vouch for Flangepart's mental abilities, regardless of any minor spelling errors (which we all make from time to time). He is one of my favorite regular posters on this and other boards I frequent.

To the OP:

I use Groucho's "fig newton" line on people from time to time when someone enters a room. You be surprised how many times I've been threatened with violence as a result. No one I know ever gets it, they know they've been insulted but don't know how, which sets them off I guess.

"Not the same Cord" I use this when someone is not acting like themself.

"Come on, my son" When trying to fix a piece of machinery or waiting for my car to warm up on cold mornings.

"Remember, wherever you go. There you are." For when I make my exit.

"You try it again, and I'll turn your head like a goddamn doorknob!" A favorite threat from "Fort Apache, The Bronx"

"She can't take it there" Borrowed from Chico.

"No cure for fools." When someone says or does something stupid.

"Oh no. Not me. Three men on a horse." = I'm going along with what you have in mind.

Although whenever someone uses the "major malfunction" line on me, I remind them that character got killed for pushing a guy too much with talk like that.

Flangepart's posts sometimes drive me nuts with the mispellings, but seeing as how I can't spell worth a damn myself (and I'm a writer) I just accept and move on.

Edit - I just read Flangepart's latter post on this thread.  God that's funny.

Don't take my response personal, Flange.  There not meant that way.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-

.................

Well, I don't know what to say Flange.

I'm totally with you, but I can't agree in the same way because I don't quote movies as a special part of my speech.  Nope, more to the point 20-30% of my speech is movie quotes and allusions to other things.  No reserve, I say these things whether other people get them or not.

Of course, it's always nice when other people recognize references.  Then I don't seem quite so crazy.

But if I had to pinpoint phrases, I'd say I quote THE SIMPSONS more than anything else.  In fact, here's my favourite thing to say.  Whenever I enter into the middle of a conversation where I don't really know what's going on, I always say "James Watt invented the steam engine."

Of course I expect someone to answer, "That's boring!  Quit boring everybody!"

This agression will not stand, man!

I know I use plenty of these, but damned if I can think of any right now. There are plenty of "call & response" phrases I can never resist; when someone says the first line, I usually have to bite my tongue from blurting out the clear response. A few examples:

"Who are you?" "I'm Batman!"
"What day is it?" "It's Christmas day, sir!"
"She's dead." "Wrapped in plastic!"
"Chief." "MCCLOUD!"

I whistle "If I Only Had A Brain" and The Looney Tunes Theme ("Merry-Go-Round Broken Down") an awful lot, instead of saying "da-yamn, you is so stoopid!!"

Favorite quotes used in conversations:
"God help us, in the future!!" (Criswell)
"Don't forget to bring a towel!!" (Towelie--and getting the voice right kills me)

"Who are you?" "I'm Batman!"

I don't know if you are refering to the movie or the commercial.  There was a comercial for some candy bar (Twix, I think, or Snickers)  where a football player gets hit very hard in the head.  On the sidelines, the trainer asks him who he is and in deadpan seriousness he says "I'm Batman"

Now it's a running joke with my wife and I.  If someone gets hit hard in the head, especially in a sports play when someone gets hit suddenly and violently, I'll turn to my wife and say "I'm Batman!" as a way of saying "He got hit so hard, he doesn't know who he is anymore"

I quote ALOT of heston lines. In fact I used to joke I wish I had a keychain that had every handy line I ever needed from a film on hand to just play at the right times. Numerous times at the post office "It's a madhouse! A MAHOUSE!" (i often say that out loud at wal-mart as well or shopping at christmas). I had a discussion about this awhile back with someone, I liked the idea of "select your own movie quotes" to have put in some kind of handy device for frequent use.

Then there's "So let it be written, so let it be done". That is my absolute favorite to say. The "I'm gonna make you a ____ you can't refuse" (i use this alot when cooking and replace "offer" with something like "pizza")

I also have a private joke with someone (not so private anymore). Instead of saying we gotta use the bathroom when we're in public we simply say "Miseour" (sp? sorry i can't spell french stuff). After seeing the really lame gibson movie "What women want" the funniest damn part of that film was a french poodle in the park thinking to it's owner "Miseur, i have to poo poo!" (of course we use the line to merely state we need to oui oui..which is usually the word we use to reply)

the "what we have here is a failure to communicate" I like to use alot. And carries's "There all gonna laugh at you".  Of course it's all about delivery, i'm no good imitator but i do many best. Then you realize when nobody else gets it and your doing it for your own amusement , they think your nuts.

These aren't b-movie lines, but I don't think in general too many people go around quoting movie lines in their everyday life to begin with so I thought i'd mention them. ;-)

You can be my assistant!
Would you like that?  Would you like to ride with Batman?

I loved this commercial.  The towl over the head was a nice touch.

>"What day is it?" "It's Christmas day, sir!"

 You should do Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon;

"What day is it?" "IT'S CHRISTMAS!"

 Of course it takes a little of the punch out of it if you don't have a high-powered weapon... :)

>I wish I had a keychain that had every handy line I ever needed from a film on
>hand

 My mother has a keychain like that, except that it only says 4 X-rated insults. I suppose a techie type could probably burn you a new Eprom with samples from movies instead of the normal phrases. Also, I've seen a replica of the original Star Trek comminicator that allows you to record several seconds of sound. Not the best solution, but you could still whip it out and play a general purpose phrase. :)

Manuel, you are a waste of space!

I tend to say.....

What're you, some kind of a Swede? You're talking to me in Swedish in Times Square!
(whenever I can't understand what someone's talking about--Frankenhooker)

Art's got a gun!
(whenever someone asks what's the matter--The Burbs)

Everthing's s**tty. The only thing that's not s**tty....is sleep.
(ditto--Cemetery Man)

Ah, you young people. Making the most out of life. While it lasts.
(whenever I want to be a dick to younger kids--Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein)

Oh God! I killed a hippie!
(that's from the Young Ones, so not really a movie, but nonetheless, I say that whenever I kill a hippie)

I'd like to know what you're doing with all that chicken in your pants. (whenever someone's trying to pull a fast one--Street Trash)

It's okay, it's okay!.....The rabbit's gone!
(when comforting someone--Night of the Lepus)

I like to say also....

"This is mass madness....you maniacs!" (from Network, I say it all the time)

and my all-time favorite that no one ever understands.....

"I don't know why.....It was parked outside ALL DAAAAY!"
(from The Burbs, whenever someone says they don't understand what I'm talking about)

"Contemplate this on the tree of woe."(You screwed up)

"You just Amtracked."(Lost train of thought, I came up with this one about a year or so ago)

"That'll scanner your brain." (I say this whenever I come across something confusing)

forgot about this one till i had a chance to use it this past weekend.  I took longer than the average person to finish college (5 1/4 years) so I like to throw this one out from Tommy Boy:
"a lot of people go to school for 7 years"
("yeah, they're called doctors")

Probably this has been mentioned but I don't have time to read through all these posts:

"I'm all out of bubble gum..."  From They Live, and the hidden meaning is that I'm about to kick someone's ass (not literally, usually).

"Flash Gordon.  Quarterback, New York Jets."

Being a Jets fan, I sometimes blurt this out when the Jets quarterback does something stupid.  Anyone who follows the NFL can imagine that I've been using it alot this season.

I remember that commercial, but the product escapes me too.  I never laughed so hard in my life.  Didn't it end with him getting up and flapping his arms around and running in a circle?  There are a couple of Jack In The Box commercials that are off the loop too - regulation football give away day, and their new ones where Jack is taking whatever product to the people to get their opinions of it.  The people just happen to have the names of or from competitors and their commercials - Jared from the  Subway, Wendy(Jack goes into her house and says,"So this is Wendy's.  Where's the drive thru?"   The Carfax commercial where the dog is driving the truck and chases the ducks in the pond all the while barking out the window.  It's so funny.  Sorry, bout that.  I got carried away.

I use a ton of quotes in my life.  My friends and I often sit around and have conversations of nothing but movie quotes.  Mine aren't B-Movies though.  Hope thats ok.

Touch it. C'mon, you need human contact.  -  When someone is staring at my chest.

Have fun with my wife, eh?  Eh?  -  When a guy and a girl are leaving the room together.

Come to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs. -  When someone calls after standing me up.

Its called reading, top to bottom, left to right.  Group words as sentences.  Take Tylenol for headaches, Mydol for any cramps.  - Works great in restaurants.  Someone always opens the menu upside down.

I'll drop you like 3rd period french class.  - When someone is talking noise.

I gotta go introduce Mr. Thick Dick to Mr. Urinal Cake.  - Restroom breaks.

Are you talking? - Tommy Boy is great for many occasions.

Can you hear me now?  Good.  - Voice mail.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass.  And I'm all out od bubble gum.  - I use it as a wild card.

You know you've got the brain of a four year old child, and I bet he was glad to get rid of it.  

Looks like I've got War and Peace here, so I guess I'll stop now.

A few more:

"See, I have this condition..." (Memento, said after forgetting something obvious)
"Atomic energy to power. Turbines to speed." "Roger. Ready to move out." (The Batman TV series, said as car starts)
"HULK SMASH!!!" (The two words that will end any dispute)

Also, my friends and I have developed the verb "randalling," meaning talking someone in circles and using everything they say against them (named after Randal from Clerks)
