Writer's Block: You Wouldn't Understand

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Most often, it's a Simpsons quote of some sort that no one gets but me, maybe Chris and usually Doug. I can generally quench the strange looks I get from saying something incredibly off the wall or just plain stupid by simply saying, "Simpsons quote".

Although, I've had to explain deadlicious to a few people, I haven't used it often enough (shame on me) to say I've used it "most often".

And for those wondering. . .

Deadlicious: Something that is delicious but deadly, like biscuits and gravy, lead paint* or anything from Hardee's/Carl's Jr. Thank you to the Lord of the Nethers himself, Michael Cook, for this little gem.

Now, go forth and spread the word deadlicious like butter over bacon!




*Simpsons reference: One of Troy McClure's educational films, "Lead paint: delicious but deadly." No, I've never eaten nor do I recommend the consumption of lead paint.

Deo volente! Only Reformed Presbyterians and Lutherans get that one.

Also, "Lead paint: delicious but deadly" reminds me of that skit from (I think) Kentucky Fried Movie: "Zinc And You!"

Me and my two Simpsons friends at work always use "Wizard!"

As in, "If you see something that doesn't make sense, a wizard did it."

Wizard!

:-)

We also use "Wellwisher" a lot for all kinds of opinion questions. (As in, "I'm more of a wellwisher, in that I don't wish you any specific harm.")

But we use it for things like, "Do you like carrots?" "I'm more of a well-wisher."

And yes, I often have to say "Simpsons quote".

We seriously need to get together. :-)

Lol. How funny! Awesome writer's block question!

I quote The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson pretty frequently, so people think I'm nuts.
