Metaquotes again!
As before, here are the rules:
- Say who you are quoting.
- You must link to the post you're quoting from.
- Quotes must originate on Snarkfest.
- Quotes must be original -- eg. no quoting someone quoting Mark Twain. When in doubt, Google.
- General consensus: quoting yourself is lame.
Rules generally stolen from the Metaquotes livejournal community.
This whole mess has been more than worth it for the return of Tsathoggua alone. Every post is a gem, but I'd like to single out this one as the grea-*test*-('") post in the history of any message board ever:

Is like asking K-Fed to protect you from bad rap songs. |
As I was driving home from my writer's group meeting last night, I found myself giggling about the exchange that was going on in the Keira Knightly thread. Various Snarkers had discussed the possibility of shipping Keira and Orlando, which devolved into speculation on the status of her relationship with Rupert Friend, and whether or not Orlando could take him.
I'm pretty sure it was MrI who knocked it out of the park with something like:

| Now there's a slapfight you could sell tickets to. |
Yes, Putli, that was my adorable self. I couldn't really envision any other type of fight for Knightly's hand.
I swear I'm going to be better about this, this time.

| Oh man, Green Card. Sweet God, as if the writing and "plot" weren't bad enough, there is no quarter. When the camera finally does pull itself away from McDowell, and she finally shuts up, then it goes straight to Gerard Depardieu. It's a litany of horrors. |
My very first metaquote! Punkin Cake, I adore you.
I get the impression
Tsathoggua going to be quoted quite a lot. Here the Wise One explains how to ensure that my
my profession is taken seriously| QUOTE |
People do not respect keepers of knowledge like in Tsathy's day. Is v. sad. If confronted by illiterate goons who think librarians are all like stupid simpering girl in The Music Man, best bet is to tell them of history of librarians. Speak of guardians of sacred texts in ancient Babylonian city of Kul, whose rites kept forces of oblivion from seeping out into world. Talk of librarians of Alexandria, who maintained all knowledge of civilization on many shelves of scrolls before burning of building. Teach of monks of Europe, who carefully transcribed texts of many cultures, spreading knowledge throughout land, helping to build what is seen today as Western Civilization.
Then, when they fall asleep listening, place hand in bowl of warm water. V. hilarious results. |

I was just coming here to rave about the Toad God. I am at WORK, Tsathy, I cannot be laughing like this!

| Just because Winslet's a much more realistic body image for society, doesn't mean her physique is okay to travel in. |
Note that I personnaly wouldn't mind travelling inside Kate Winslet's body (and I' m a straight girl for god's sake).
La G, while
asking the Toad God a question, comes up with this gem:

Skyblade has a point about the safety of cars modelled after curvy Brittish actresses :

I wouldn't mind either. But I find it interesting that she thinks the headlights are too small. Personally, I think the headlights are fine the way they are.
Poubelle explains why he/she(?) hates Gwen Stefani and Fergie:
| QUOTE |
I like to think that Gwen and Fergie are in a competition to see who could make the stupidest crackmusic that people would still actually buy/listen to--and neither of them has gotten to the breaking point in this competition yet. So they're still one-upping each other--("I'll see your Hollaback Girl and raise you a London Bridge!" "I'll see your London Bridge and raise you some yodeling!" "No way, bitch, yodeling will never stop the Dutchess--I AM FERGILICIOUS, SO DELICIOUS, DAMMIT!!")
