"A thought once crossed your mind, and what a long, lonely and uneventful journey it was..."
"I thought you had a glint in your eye, but it's just the sun shining through your ears."
"When you're near, life is line a fairytale. Grimm."

Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king.
Fun fact: the tap you put into a wine or beer barrel is also known as a cock.
So a barrel can have both a bunghole and a cock, and in some cases, a cock goes into a bunghole.
It's the Air Bud(dy Gator) Defense.

Don't you mean *hauce*?
I would rather drink stale urine from Norman Fowler's arse-pit than remain one moment more in your defiling company.
You're filth, you're cack, you're the ooze of a burst boil, I abominate you, you towering mound of corrupted slime.
Your every utterance is like the slithering hiss of a fat maggot in the putrid guts of a decomposing rat, your face is fouler than the unwiped inner ring of Satan's rectum!
I am afraid such information is at this time restricted under the official secrets act.
I suppose we COULD monitor a proposal to open an interdepartmental commitee to explore a possibility to release the information to the general publixlc.
But such a... courageous proposal, it has been argued, should only be pursued when the moment is right. At tge appropriate juncture. In the fullness of time. When all things have been considered, and on the whole, on balance, the occasion is deemed suitable
Translation: the prime minister is NOT there to run the country.
Nonsense. Larry is a civil servant.
The traditional allocation of executive responsibilities has always been so determined as to liberate the Ministerial incumbent from the administrative minutiae by devolving the managerial functions to those civil servants who's experience and qualifications have better formed them for the performance of such humble offices, thereby releasing their political overlords for the more onerous duties that are the inevitable concomitant of their exalted position.
The quote wasn't forgotten or cut off or changed.
The RETAIL INDUSTRY changed, until in the present day, the idea of The Customer is Always Right just doesn't work as a realistic policy anymore.
And in the end... it WAS just a store policy. It's not some venerable or magical written in stone rule. It's like trying to find some deeper hidden meaning in "no shoes, no shirt, no service".
Look on the bright side. The quote is actually an interesting look at just hos much the retail business has changed. The common axiom of the day was "buyer beware", i.e if you bought something, it was YOUR responsibility to ensure what you bought was what was advertised.
The policy was created because things were stacked unfairly AGAINST customers, and the handful of dishonest customers abusing the policy were a low price to pay for the to the returning customers pleased with the service.

Greatness is seldom appreciated in its own time. History will vindicate you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can play both sides of it, since there's a skin on either side. I think They're designed to be placed on a stand, allowing two drummers to play at once... so those are drums, even if he's only playing on one drum.
The way I see it, Pluto is to Goofy what a chimpanzee is to a human. By the same token, there are animal-like ducks and mice in Disney canon as well. Likely part of the sane genus or biological family, but not the exact sane species.
That is, if we have to rationalize the logic of cartoon characters.
But will it improve the taste of hard tack?
When Tarantino contacted him, asking if he was interested, Waltz told him that he'd take the role of Dr. King Schultz on the condition that Schultz, at no point, would do anything cruel or villainous.
Tarantino sent a hand written, four word message on the matter.
"Of course, Mein Herr!"
Waltz agreed to the role, sending a telegram message of his own.
"Mein herr, of course!"
The Jar Jar binks tongue lollipop is not just one of the worst pieces of merch, but conceptually one of the worst things ever sold for real, actual currency

Well, yeah, it's beer. That right there is Pißwasser.
In its defense, the whole story is told by Salieri, who is an unreliable narrator.
In the original play, it's made more clear that Salieri is deliberately lying, falsely claiming he killed Mozart because infamy as a murderer is better than being forgotten.
Salieri did actually get comitted to a sanitorium towards the end of his life, claiming (due to a nervous breakdown from decade dealing with the rumors, as well as possibly having developed dementia) that he did poison Mozart.
Salieri was dogged with rumors of him hating Mozart and being responsible for his death for decades after the fact.
In fact, the pair worked together on occasion, and by all accounts respected each other. Mozart even used a leitmotif of Salieri's in The Magic Flute, and Salieri tutored Mozarts son after Mozarts death.
"Might as well. Only other thing to do around here is catch a fucking bus!"
"Is it a particularly EVIL looking doorstop?"
"Now.. with the demon flames of this VOODOO CANNONBALL, I'll blast my significant other into the significant OTHER WORLD! HAHA! That'll show her how much I truly care."
"You may call me MURRAY! I am a powerful demonic force! I am the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!"
"'Stride'?"
"Alright then, roll. ROLL through the gates of hell! Must you take the fun out of everything?"
There was one fan theory that suggested Tom Bombadill was actually the Witch-King of Angmar.
No, it made no sense and no, I won't bore you with the details.
