Catch phrase
« on: December 15, 2003, 03:49:54 PM »
Alright, I know there are a lot of these. And even some come with people. I currently don't have any on mind, but I do have one in mind for me. Tell me, how does this sound:

Worse than a public service announcement: It's Zak!

So?

If I ever meet, in person, a human being who has his or her own catch phrase, I will swiftly and brutally beat that person with a hammer. Or, if Tage is around and has one on him, a big metal baseball bat.

I've got your back on this one, fuzzy.

Catch phrases are not fun.

If I ever have to hear Gemm say that, I WILL have a big metal baseball bat.

Larry Boy!

It's less that catch phrases aren't fun, and more than catch phrases aren't fun for anyone EXCEPT you.  Unless you are a cartoon character, a catch phrase will just lose you friends.

Just say no, Gemm.

Might have had? That's kind of harsh, though I'm sure unintentional. We all love Gemm! Just the non-catch phrase version.

Sorry, I didn't intend for it to sound quite that mean.

EUOL, you are now being added to the List.

In fact, there was no actual "List" in a written format before now. But this encouragement has to be discouraged. You are added to the List.

In a short tangential story, the Hackmaster Character Portfolio actually has a panel devoted to "The List"

Factoid!

Hehe.  I just imagine the RL Gemm spouting out his catch-phrase whenever he enters a room.  What splendid fun!

And to think i actually like EUOL. Leper!
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
