TV Quote of... this half of the year?

Um, so it's possible that the last time I updated the 'TV Quote of the Week' was in July, so as Bron so helpfully reminded me, it's about time for a new one. I'm going back to the classics this time, with this beauty from the very first episode of The West Wing.

C.J.: Is there anything I can say except 'The President rode his bicycle into a tree.'?
Leo: He hopes never to do it again?
C.J.: Seriously, they're laughing pretty hard.
Leo: He rode his bicycle into a tree. C.J., what do you want me...'The President, while riding his bicycle on vacation in Jackson, came to a sudden arboreal stop'. What do you want from me?
C.J.: A little love, Leo.

Ah, old school season 1 West Wing, how we love you...

TV Quote of the Week

New TV quote! Over the last two weeks I've very quickly become very obsessed with the new series of Doctor Who. It's campy kitsch sci-fi comedy-drama, and it's fantastic! This quote comes from the series 1 episode 'Boom Town', and features everyone's favourite bisexual spaceship captain, Jack.

[As Rose and Mickey hug.]
JACK: Aw, sweet, look at these two! How come I never get any of that?
THE DOCTOR: Buy me a drink first.
JACK: Such hard work!
THE DOCTOR: But worth it!
- Boom Town

TV Quote of the Week

I was rather fond of the last tv quote of the week (uberscullys!), but once again Bron has goaded me into changing it. But at least this time she suggested a quote, which means that I don't have to do any work. Which always makes me happy. So! This week's quote is from the House season one episode 'Poison', and (she admits grudgingly) is pretty damn funny:

HOUSE: I suppose "minimally at best" is your stiff upper lip British way of saying "No chance in hell"?
CHASE: Actually, I'm Australian.
HOUSE: You put the Queen on your money. You're British.

Quote of the week

Time for a new TV Quote of the Week, thanks to the incessant demands of Bron. I've been watching a bit of X-Files recently, so this week's quote comes from the season 4 episode Home, a truly strange bit of television about an inbred family in the American South. I like this quote mostly because it has the word 'uberScullys' in it.

MULDER: Is there a history of genetic abnormalities in your family?
SCULLY: No.
MULDER: Well, just find yourself a man with a spotless genetic make up and a really high tolerance for being second-guessed and start pumping out the little uberScullys.
SCULLY: What about your family?
MULDER: Aside from the need for corrective lenses or the tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster.

New quote of the week!

Bron suggested that it was a time for a new TV Quote of the Week, and I had to agree. So today we have a classic from Debate Camp, one of my favourite West Wing episodes, notable because it doesn't come from season one or two. For those of you who haven't seen the episode, 'Team Toby' is the name Charlie gives to the 'project' to get Toby's ex-wife Andi to marry him again.

CHARLIE: Josh and Sam talked to me. I'm on board.
TOBY: With what?
CHARLIE: Team Toby.
TOBY: See, I lent voice to thought and that was my mistake.... I get it.
CHARLIE: Do you? Because this is about love.
TOBY: I think you have a different motivation.
CHARLIE: Laughs?
TOBY: Yes.
CHARLIE: Sure, but also as much love really as I think either of us would be comfortable with.
- Debate Camp

New Quote

A new TV Quote of the Week, although it's less 'of the week', and more 'of when I can be bothered'. This time something a bit different, with a quote from the episode Lessons, from season 7 of Buffy (crap season overall, but I still like the quote).

WILLOW: Is there anything you don't know everything about?
GILES: Synchronized swimming. Complete mystery to me.

Quote of the Week

New TV Quote of the Week! This time, from the classic West Wing episode, 17 People. This exchange is one of the quotes that has sustained those of us who truly and deeply believe that Josh and Donna belong together through seven seasons of in-action.

JOSH: I'm just sayin' - if you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for a beer.
DONNA: If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for red lights.

God, 17 People is a fantastic episode. I watched it a few nights ago, and fell in love with season two West Wing all over again.

Quote time!

New tv quote of the week! Some classic West Wing this time, from the season one episode He Shall From Time to Time.

LEO: Lord Marbury, under our Constitution, our President is not empowered to create maharajas.
MARBURY: Yes. Thank you for clearing that up, Leo. Having been educated at Cambridge and the Sorbonne, I am, as you know, exceedingly stupid.

I've also put a 'tag cloud' thing down at the very bottom of the page. Just trying it out really... if you have particularly strong feelings about it, let me know. I personally don't.

I know who you are, Veronica Mars

Everyone notice the new 'TV quote of the week' (although it's more like TV quote of the next 10 days, judging on my laxness in changing it) to the right, this time courtesy of one of the greatest shows of all time, Veronica Mars, from the episode 'Normal is the Watchword'. I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: if you're not watching this show, you are stupid. If you are stupid, but want to be smart, go to the wonderful Mars Investigations website and catch up. Now, dumbarse.

I could out-CSS you any day

My coding skills are not particularly bad-arse. At all. I may have just completely redesigned the IR Society website (change the window size! Watch it scale!), but it wasn't a particularly taxing job, and I managed to get it to validate properly without much trouble at all.

No, what I find really challenging is changing the damn template for this blog. Partly, I think, because it's not code that I wrote myself from scratch, but mostly because there's a crazy number of styles going on and, well, I get confused. But today: success! For today I worked out why there was a cool dotted little line after the profile and previous posts section in the sidebar, but not after anything else. This is probably of nil interest to anyone else, but I just wanted to write a wee post about my finally conquering the tricky problem of that stupid dotted line. Now if only I could work out why half of border around the top title is darker than the other, I could die a contented woman...

(Feel free to submit your favourite quotes for my new attraction: 'TV Quote of the Week'! Yay!)

EDIT: I may have put a link to the W3C validation page up there, but please don't go and try to actually validate the IR website (because I know you were all just about to do that). I swear all the pages (bar the photo album: filename issues!) validate correctly as HTML 4.01 strict, but the stupid ad thing that geocities ads to all of its sites stuffs the whole thing up. Stupid geocities. I change my above statement: I can die a contented woman when the IR society gets a real webhost, one that doesn't add stupid advertisements to pages, advertisements that stop my lovely hand-coded pages from validating, and from displaying properly on my tiny laptop screen.
