You are invited to share the funny, the poignant, and the memorable quotes from your event. Please remember that what folks know OOG, they know IG, so its considered poor form to mention someone else's secrets, and its your own choice if you reveal your own.

I'll start us off with a high point for my weekend:

Grinner has a splinter, and Doc S is trying to get it out for him in the Med Center.

Doc S: Ya know, I bet if you come over here and sit next to me on the rez bed, Fawkes will come barreling right in.
Grinner: Huh?

Not three seconds later, Fawkes comes walking briskly and loudly in. Doc S and Grinner dissolve into gales of laughter.

Fawkes: Wait. What's so funny?

Grinner and Doc S cannot possibly answer him, for they are laughing too hard...

In the Utopia mod, a dead intern is found laying on the ground. All that remains are his bones and ID badge. Dr. Slate (Dan E) decides to clean up while everyone is updating the Utopia staff about th events since the bombing. Slate picks up a push broom and starts sweeping the skeleton into a pile in the corner of the room. Zack the Intern (Derek H) stops and looks sadly at the pile of bones and says:

"Poor Wes. He was a good Intern, but I guess in the end he would have wanted to be swept up."

Ali, as all hell broke loose Sunday :

"Really? REALLY? I hate you, colony!"

D-Trip is entrenched in some deep business conversation. Jeanne and Lola pick up the cat and hand it to him; without missing a beat, he puts the cat in his lap and starts stroking it evil-genius style while continuing his conversation.
Jeanne: (over both our helpless giggles) Don't you get a feeling like Arthur should be doing something about this?

The look on Arthur's face as he tries to interpret our gestures and finally realizes, in disgust, that we are making an Arthur P. Glass super-spy joke...

(As Tabur is yelping in pain from a treatment)
Maris: How did I know it was going to hurt?
Tabur: It -always- hurts.

Neely: Ooh, are we gossiping? Can I join?
Lola: It depends. Are you interested in other people's love lives?
Neely: AM I EVER!
Jeanne: (pointedly waving at the men lingering about) Okay, bye now!

Drinking at the bar (Aptly named "Good Timez") with Pockets (Dan E) and Sal (Chris K) we noticed Grinner walking by:

Pockets: Hey! Aren't you the guy that broke into our home and killed us?
Grinner: Yeah, sorry about that. I was getting paid at the time.
Sal: Well, that's understandable.
Grinner: If I ever find that room in Aleph complex again, I will let you guys know.
Pockets: You better, we were getting ready to put in some linoleum!

I am officially redoing all the menus to rename the bar "Good Timez".

sat night when the big bug came to town some one asks
"what it look like""
Reply: " ten pounds of pissed off in a five pound bag"

After the big bug encounter sort of killed the chance of the rave, Dominic was going to call it off, when Neely convinced him to give it a try in the commissary. So, Dominic, Neely, Diva & Dissent head out to Aleph Complex to get the required gear. The road looks clear, so Dominic gets cocky, and jokes about how quiet it is by screaming like a little girl at absolutely nothing as he walks past the commissary corner...

Only to get immediately shot in the chest, screaming even more like a little girl, as a lone bug scurries off.

I think the poor bug was more scared of screaming Dominic than we were of it...

While prepping for a run into Aleph Complex:

"So how will we know which ones we're there to rescue?"
"Simple, we just ask 'hey, who here is a complete idiot?' and shoot everyone who doesn't raise their hand."

After negotiating the use of the commissary bar for an ice machine, I'm walking away and I hear, "yo, dis is ours best first day outta prison eva!" I couldn't help but laugh.

Friday night Ali and Hannable are standing outside waiting for the next wave of cannibles to show up and Hannible mentions that there is supposed to be sausage gravy and biscuts for breakfast. Ali's eyes light up and she says, " Oh, i would do ungoddly things for sausage"

As the Disciple, I'm having a conversation with people regarding some future experiments, when TK pipes up:

Disciple: "It *should* work, but nothing's certain with quantum physics."

TK: "Quantum physics? I don't know anything about that!"

Disciple: "You've studied computer science, deep sea diving, artistic bungee jumping, Dima cuisine cooking, combat tactics, surfing and macrame, but you've never read a thing about quantum physics?!"

TK: "What?..."

The Disciple at the bar:

D: And in payment for this drink, some wisdom: (Derek starts quipping a wise Confucius-say type proverb)
Krystal: Honey, I don't take words. Why don't I just start you a tab?
D: (embarrassed) Yes, please.

Sunday morning, Josh Marcus dresses up as a Line LX soldier. Wearing shoulder pads under a too-too-small jumpsuit, I have to grab him from the front and shake him up and down, like one would shake a pillow in a pillowcase. As a result, he's crammed in there pretty tight (oh, the wedgie!) and can't quite lower his arms. He then walks into the cast area and whines:

Josh: "I CAN'T PUT MY ARMS DOWN!...."

At which point, some of our younger cast members pipe up, earning the ire of some of us old coots:

Younguns: "What? What's that about?"

"Older" cast: "A Christmas Story? The kid with the red jumpsuit? Ralphie's brother?! YOU CHILDREN!!!"

During the Saturday night bug fights. The raver girls were coming up to the comissary when I jumped them from around the corner. After a scuffle and a fall somone at the doors shouted "Who goes there! OH! The raver girls! Save them!!: And suddenly, seemingly, everyone's priorities shifted.

Nolan, at scattered times throughout the weekend: "You don't know me. You're not my real mom." (From what I heard, that's the only phrase he knows in sign language?)

And, of course, more random things I've heard him say: "This is Nolan-d! I've also claimed a bench and a field in the name of me."

"I found a field!" (after leaving the tunnels)

Wayland: "We should feed Nolan to the cannibals, but they'll choke on his bones. Wait, no! Let's feed Nolan to the cannibals!"

Entire Commissary that was still awake at 2 AM Sunday morning: "GO TO BED."

Wayland: (At dinner, shortly after the tampers attack) I wish I had an excuse so I could stay and eat.
Doc S: (Sitting next to him) Help! I'm a med tech! Protect me!
Wayland: Welp! Guess I gotta stay here then!


Sunday morning, during the assault by the nums.
Nolan: I reached for my sidearm and all I found was a banana!

Nolan: "Man, pissing off Wayland needs to be either harder or less fun."
Tabur: "The same could be said of shooting you."

I sense a theme...

Yuri (whispering): Here, you know how this goes, just pretend this hurts. (throwing Waylynd into a wall) DON'T YOU EVER CALL HER THAT AGAIN!
Waylynd: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

After the Cauchys get executed (at least once) in a barrage of gunfire :
Lt Governor Cape Ninja "Accidental weapon discharge, nothing to see here"

I liked it best whenever I went to go near combat I heard colonist say "Oh good the ravers are here to fight the bugs."

during the wolf raids:
Nolan: (On the second floor of this outpost building) it's like having my own club house...you know if I ever had a club house.

Nitzsche's character Chris walks in: "Sure have the deaf guy listen for wolves! thats a brilliant idea!"

From a random encounter in game (I've completely forgotten how this came about god help me) 'Grinner butter'.... take that as you will. Even I'm not too sure.

Is that like Grinnables?

You tell me, but grinnables sounds like a part of a balanced colony diet

Sounds more like something that'll give you the Grinnabeetus.

At Breakfast Sunday Morning in line, Nolan is holding a banana in his belt. Taber comes on up and snags it, Nolan's response was awesome,

"Now, now, there's a lot of tings I'll stand fer, apparently gross bodily harm is one of dem... but banana t'eft I can't let go."

After I sit down a couple minutes later, and start eating, I tell the story: afterwards we call for Nolan, trying to get him to say Banana t'eft again.

Oh, the banana story gets better.

Right around the end of game on Sunday, I find Nolan and Altaria attacking each other behind the commissary. I didn't have any Knockdown packets handy, but Nolan had left his banana nearby. So I grabbed it and punched them both out with a banana. I'm pretty sure that's the first time fruit has been used as a melee weapon at FI.

Pulse: SHOTGUNS FOR EVERYONE!!!

NOLAN: So Wayland, I want you ta say yes ta t'is no matter t'e actual answer because it'll make me feel better. Understadt?
WAYLAND: Yea...
NOLAN: So I got t'e impression from some peoples t'at you changed your hat because of losin' our little duel, is t'is true?
WAYLAND: Oh! No not at all. You see-
NOLAN: No! You were supposed to say YES! You're terrible at t'is!!

Ali after Wayland walks in dead: DAMNIT WAYLAND!! STOP GETTING SHOT!

Grinner: Have you eaten anything else besides cookies?
Cookies guy: Sure! Cake and danish and-
Grinner: Guys, I think he has diabeetus.
Cookies guy: Ok, Grinner, you can't just go making up diseases and saying I have it

Grinner: Guys! This is officially Grinnopolis! Rooster finally admitted that this is MY colony and I just allow you to live here!
Fawkes: Ginner, I don't think he admitted that was actually the truth, I think he just finally admitted that is what you wholeheartedly believe....

Franco: CATALYST! LISTEN UP! I have failed at diplomacy. Oops.

Will (OOG): Orion isn't the embodiment of Karma: The Skill, He's the embodiment of Karma: The Character Concept!

Friday night about 1/2 hour before game Derek comes walking out of the office into the main room of the Cast Center. He is clutching his head while holding his hair back and has a horribly disturbed and hurt look on his face. A number of us notice and try to find out what's wrong.

DEREK: I just realized something....our game was cancelled. @^&#!

At which point he burst out laughing. The jerk! A number of the cast laughed along and a few of us managed to get our anxiety under control enough to give him weak smiles.

Angst. It's not just for PCs anymore.

Its not a quote, but the inspired "manly voice" of Diva, and the girly giggle emitted by Cape Ninja as 'Shaula' during the radio play will stay with me forever.

Also during the radio play, the second commercial break was up, and it was for Jinjia... Having not been provided with a script of what they wanted said, Nolan looked around, found the closest Jinjia rep available, and thrust a live radio mic in her face. To which Morgan White rose to the challenge, erupting with "JINJIA! BUY OUR @#$%&!"

Also during the radio play, which was fantasy-sci-fi, I had to bite my cheeks to keep from laughing so hard I drowned out Nolan, who during his narration, kept referring to a 'weezard'.

<still laughing at the Radio Play adventures>

I have never wished so hard for a radio in my life.

CREEEEEE!!!!!!

Ali and Wayland eating breakfast sunday morning.
Ali looks down at her bacon and goes: "I wonder how Vos is doing..."

Quote:

Sweet jesus.

Also, "Why is my sidearm a banana?" was, I think, the specific anguished cry to the heavens I gave loose.

This particular incident is the one thing that Nolan has done that I am actually embarassed about. Because it wasn't just Nolan that strode bravely in to battle and tried to draw down on the enemy with a piece of fruit. That was me, Thomas Gordanier.

*infinifacepalm*

Also, it gladdens and bewilders me to try and see people type in Nolan-Dialect.

On topic:

Gregori (Derek's Russian Three-man player) on giving an inch: "If you give a mouse a cookie, it will think it can sleep with your wife."

After a fight outside the comissary:
Tabur: I'm just glad I can take care of my pack.
Morgan: "Pack" ... really? Really?
Nolan: Group hug!
Morgan: *blam*
Nolan: *gurgle, slump*

Not really a quote, but Morgan taught Zimri the "Secure" procedure. By taping stryofoam cups to bar during the Hole in the Hill's hours of operation. Which she then refused to remove.

I was around the corner, dead on the ground, and I started laughing helplessly at "why is my sidearm a banana".

Thank you, Thomas Gordanier, and deity-of-choice bless.

And hush. Space fantasy is a light hearted genre romp that all can enjoy.

In response to Ziggy trying to start a group science discussion:
Descent: "But they're so stupid"
Ziggy: "... yeah, can't really argue with that..."


In response to Descent getting distracted and running off for the third time:
Ziggy: "Wow, he has worse ADD than I do!"

I personally loved getting yelled at by doc sophie and Grinner when having a conversation with Franko as Terry.
Grinner:"If your gonna keep talking to her you better put a ring on her finger.....oh my bad I thought you were pulse."
Miscommunication followed by nagging of teasing.
Sophie: "Don't you have a different girlfriend?"
Terry: "Why yes he does, thank you for noticing"
Franko: "I hate you guys"
Sophie: -mutters something about how fun teasing people are-
Terry: "Oh yes I know have alot of sister, it's fun being on the side your on I'm quite jealous."
Grinner: "We're about to go into the woods on a walk if you hear screaming"
Franko: "I'm not going after you guys if you die, well accept for you Sophie."

On the walk back watching the bug and wolf do battle
Terry: "well guess we should tell grinner the bug won."

Wayland to someone (I don't remember) during the above situation: " are grinner and franco going on a double date with terry and doc. Sophie? Cause if so I'm terrified"
