I still use that on my husband--well the variant "were you born in a barn?" when he leaves the door from the house to the garage open.

This is one of my favorites to use if someone asks me to get them something if I am busy at the moment.

Do you have two arms and legs? Are they broken? If not get it yourself as I am busy. Or don't you see that?"

Hi shiningstar, Glad you like that one. I'm not a big Galbraith fan, but that is a good one. I'll have another good quote here as soon as I find it in my files...

Here it is, from a Science Fiction Master:

Thumbs up One more

OK, shiningstar, I'll throw down one more, but only because you asked.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Alfred Lord Tennyson, or his epic poem of Ulysses. But I have to tell you all, the close to Ulysses reminds me of Battlestar Galactica and also SO much of this community!! Take Tennyson's words and apply them to the TOS fans here. Consider his last four words, and how hope remains for a continuation.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Another one my parents used on me when I wasn't paying attention to a conversation and I happen to ask what was being discussed:

"Watt? What are you a light bulb?"

Default Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words, Muffit and shiningstar.

As I said, that close for Ulysses reminds me of the BG fans here. I can't tell you how many times it has come to mind when reading a thread on Fleets. Heck, you could even apply it to the Rag Tag Colonial Fleet fleeing the Cylon tyranny. They have not chosen to yield, either.

Ian, after such incidents as "Spock's Brain," I regard B5 as the "The Thinking Man's (or Woman's) Science Fiction." There were a lot of great quotes used in B5; Strazynski knows his history, and he also knows his Science Fiction. Heck, the episode with Sheridan captured by Earthgov is right out of 1984. Plus his use of SciFi greats like Michael Warner, Michael York, June Lockheart, Michael Ansaras, Walter Koenig etc, etc, etc, makes not only for good acting, but a great link to the sci-fi of the that paved the way for a show like B5. Even Harlan Ellison did a cameo!

Regards,

Gunstar Aries

I had a thought about this but, unfortunately, like the autumn leaves, it's GWTW!
