But if you want to be derivative, feel free. And I don't think you should worry about criticism too much. If people start bugging you I'll post something and they'll forget all their complaints while they gouge their eyes out with bendy straws.

BTW, thank yourself, SRu.

I should point out that the image of people gouging their eyes out with bendy straws was borrowed from some web-comic-drawing person. I can't remember where it was though.

The Tick, perhaps?

Bendy straws sounds like The Tick's M.O.

Hee hee, bendy straws.

SPOON!

No. No, not The Tick. I think it was "combustible oranges" or some name like that, and it was in the 'editorial commentary'/blog section that web-comics often have. Something about having gouged his own eyes out with a bendy straw after looking at the web site that some fan put up. (I looked too, and it was really really bad. Luckily I have a strong constitution and I still have the use of my eyes.)

It could, of course, have been The Tick originally with the bendy straw thing. Though gouging eyes out is not really his style, bendy straws definitely are.

"I really like the way you cut up the sausages to look like octopi. 'Oh please don't eat me! I'm just a harmless undersea creature!'"

Heh.

Actually, now that I think about it, I couldn't have been The Tick. I was incorrectly remembering an issue where he and Arthur are trekking across America. To avoid being overcome with ennui, Tick starts reading a comic book about this mysterious, dark hitchhiker name "The Evil Eye" or something like that (The Red Eye- Issue #8, a mini-comic named after the villain), whose MO is to suck his victims' brains out with a straw (and this concept creeps Arthur out, BTW). I distictly remember Tick and Arthur talking about it in a roadside diner and Tick turns to Arthur, puts a straw to his mouth and promptly goes, "Fwwp! Fwwwp! Watch out, Arthur, I've got a straw! Fwwwp!"

But it wasn't a bendy straw and there was nothing about stabbing one's self in the eye with it.

It's been almost a decade since I read that issue. Odd, the kinds of things which refuse to give up space in one's memory, eh? Why can't my memories of sex with past lovers be so vivid?

^^ As impact phrases go, that's pretty lame all by itself. I do believe that it requires contextualization in order for it to have any significant impact on the reader's psyche. Otherwise it just looks like a fairly pedestrian statement nearly every human on Earth has said once or twice.

You had to be there, and even then it wasn't that interesting.

something every person in the history of mankind has said at one time or another in their lives, one of the the few things in the realm of experience that every human has in their daily lives no matter what, is not uninteresting.

No, actually. I threw them out.

Ahem "I uh, can't take credit for that Mr. DisInfo"

"Excuse me? You did write that here, don't tell me... another quote of a quote right?"

"Well I'm sure you know that's from the show Sienfeld, but that's not who I'm paying homage to in that quote."

"Well then my enigmatic friend who pray tell who are you quoting?"

"This refering to this."
