Y is for Yada, yada, yada - A to Z Challenge

Do you use catch phrases from your favorite shows and movies in your everyday life?

Do you, you know, fill in a long story with "and if she does...yada, yada, yada...she'll be up for parole in about 3 to 5."

Do you say "Shiny!" instead of "Great/Awesome/Perfect!"?

Have you ever said "It's not logical" and then raised your eyebrow?

What about "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"?

Here are some family favorites:

"If those are my last words I can do better." F. Mulder

" Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" H. Washburne 

"I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!" M. Scott

"Who's scruffy looking?" H. Solo

"Spaceballs the flame thrower!" Yogurt

"Where am I going to get a piece of metal?... Out here in space?... At this hour?" T. Striker

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking." S. McCroskey

"If the apocalypse comes, beep me." B. Summers 

"You're fired! Everybody's fuckin' fired!" Lt. Mac

"The Inquisition, what a show. The Inquisition, here we go. We know you're wishin' that we'd go away! But the Inquisitions here and it's here to stay!" Spanish Monk Chorus


Got any you can't live without?

See you tomorrow for the Letter Z!!!!!

  7. In college we often went around saying stuff likd "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die" and "BabyRUTH." More recently, my mom and I are caught up in Steven Tyler American Idol quotes..."If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong." :D

  8. I have a tendency to not remember things like quotes so I usually don't use them. I may have said, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." (Wizard of Oz) and I remember the line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" (Apocalypse Now) but I've never had the appropriate occasion to use that one.
