If
you’re going to bring it to nationals, you better bring it on!
Ok,
this quote (or quote as I remember it) from the epic cheerleader competition
film
Bring It On was MUCH funnier when said in repetition while drinking
beer. Can be said in response when a friend asks what to bring to a party
(“oh sure, bring some beer, but if you’re going to bring it to nationals,
you better bring it on!”). Can also be blurted out randomly for no apparent
reason, especially to emphasize the importance of any given statement.
“I’ve got a big test tomorrow in class”Again, it was funnier when we were hopped up on beer. – Brody C.
“Yeah, well if you’re going to bring it to nationals, you better bring it on!”
What IS the fuck?
Met some french doods working
at Intel (supposedly working on robots, but I digress), one was particularly
funny, named Benoit. They all kept saying “what is the fuck?” to each other
so Stephanie and I asked what they were trying to say and it turns out –
they were making fun of a fellow frenchie working with them, who thought
he mastered engrish better than them. So instead of saying “what the fuck?”
he’d say “what IS the fuck?” emphasis on the “IS” part. He also was fond
of saying “I catch you” instead of “gotcha!,” but we don’t use that as
much as “what is the fuck?” which has worked its way into our everyday lingo.
Example: As we realize SOMEONE drank the last PBR, we’d exclaim “what
IS the fuck?” then trudge off to the likker store ... –

Are you an organist?
My girlfriend and I recently
made a pilgrimage to an English celebration of freakery – Biddenden, a
small village where siamese twins were born in 1100. They died together
and left their money and estate to the poor and to this day the local poor
can get a cookie in their image (along with bread, butter etc) at Easter
which is despatched from their old house. The village sign is great and
features the twins. Anyway – we went in to the local church and found
that it has all these knitted prayer mat covers – one of which features
an image of the twins. I was trying to avoid eye contact with the crazy
church lady who wanted to tell us its entire history – so I looked at the
organist who was practising. As we were leaving (and buying a mug featuring
the twins) the old church lady noted my interest in the organist and her
more withered accomplice piped up “are you an organist?” Probably one of
the more bizarre questions I have been asked. To be used as code to denote
crazy/crazy and old person in vicinity/ridiculous situation. –

Au-to-mo-biles may be-come death cham-bers.
I
recently encountered a much scarier cousin of the DECtalk weather robot
(see It was sunny, Macros2000 #7),
on AM radio in Delaware. This robot was talking about how hot it was going
to be, but he wasn’t only describing the weather, he was kind of preaching
about it ... “light co-lored clo-thing may be help-ful,” “drink plen-ty
of wa-ter,” that kind of thing. Naturally we inferred from this that somewhere
in the broadcast was the coded signal for “kill all hu-mans.” We didn’t
have to look very hard for it, though ... the last bit of hot weather advice
Mr. Robot offered was “au-to-mo-biles may be-come death cham-bers.” This
was terrifying, as we were in an automobile at the time, so we immediately
put on some Kraftwerk, in the hopes of fooling the marauding robots into
thinking we were family. “Au-to-mo-biles may be-come death cham-bers”
became a macro for the rest of the trip. –
