Metaquotes

stolisomancer  : I always love the Spidey formula from the '70s and '80s.

SPIDEY: This threat is completely out of my league! I'd better go find the Avengers/Fantastic Four/Dr. Strange!
THREAT: Oh hell no. You're going down.
SPIDEY: Okay, so I can't kick your ass, but I'm too fast and smart for you to kick my ass.
THREAT: Goddammit!
SPIDEY: Ah ha! You've made a critical mistake!
[*KER-POW*!] or possibly [*KER-SCIENCE!*]
THREAT: X_X
SPIDEY: Bitch.

[TWO MONTHS LATER]

SPIDEY: This threat is completely out of my league! I'd better go find the Avengers/Fantastic Four/Dr. Strange!
THREAT: Oh hell no. You're going down.

Repeat until about 1991.

skalja  : *KER-SCIENCE!* for the win!

I think my favorite variations on that formula are the ones with this addition:

Avengers/Fantastic Four/Dr. Strange: Sorry we're late!
Spider-Man: Jeez, where were you guys?! I almost died!
Threat: X_X
A/FF/Dr. Strange: Um, okay. If you say so.

Context is nostalgic.  And really has a point about that formula.  (I'm gonna keep finding threads I like from scans_daily , okay?)

Two quotes from vinnysbigmouth , because we haven't had enough political posts:

We’re at a dangerous juncture right now. If I may use a dating metaphor, this is the part of the night where you’re, like, 70% sure you’re getting laid. It’s not QUITE there yet, but you’re headed in that direction, and you’ve just got to hang in there. The monologue in your head is humming:” Okay, easy now, just let it happen. Don’t say anything stupid. Don’t tell her about your athlete’s foot, just stay cool, let it roll downhill from here. All the heavy lifting’s over, chief. Just let her finish that drink and then we’re outta here. Hmmm…it’s getting a little quiet. Say something witty!”

“Before we leave I gotta go poopy.”

DAMMIT!!!!

Context is winking at Joe Six-pack



P.S.: Wouldn’t it have been great if last night, during the V.P. debate, Katie Couric had suddenly jumped out at Sarah Palin from the wings?

“Well, you know, gosh golly darn it, Jahn McCain and I are gonna….”

“BOO!!”

“AAAAAAAAAHHHH!! Snow is made of angel feathers!!! I only read tea leaves!! I once saw an iceberg shaped like Jesus’ head!!! That old man said I was gonna have an important job!! I don’t know where Canada is!! I have a polar-bear-skin hat!! Eskimo kisses make babies!! Get away from me, foul witch!!


Context is an answer that's already been given, to a question that hasn't actually been asked.

Over at gratefuladdict's LJ Idol post, bodlon is telling it straight:


"Frankly, I don't care if there's a whole geographical region floating from a giant steampunk airship full of people who think that oppressed persons should "get over it." That doesn't make it okay. That just means there's a whole geographical region floating from a giant steampunk airship full of people who need to educate themselves about oppression and privilege."


Context knows how to turn a phrase. QWP.

I will destroy your existence anon. I will ball your concept up, ingest it, and shit it out with the corn I ingested last night. During your trip through my digestive system, you will experience a hell only known to Jehovah God himself. As he lambastes you with psalms and words of glories, you will writhe in your own sins. The white light will penetrate your skin, infest your blood, and drag your soul to the heights of premature recognition.

I, in turn, will gain nutrients and a satisfied feeling as I hear you plop in the toilet.

Context will enjoy anon with a nice Chianti.

In response to the question "What smell rocks your socks?", monkeypuncher replied:

Food, any food... Particularly with garlic.

I want to bone anyone who cooks for me. This makes my relationship with my mother awkward.

Context is delicious, QWP.
