Sick as dog, mad as hell

[angelophile]

Damn, I really hate being sick deadline week. I have a bad dose of the flu and haven't been well since Friday, but being ill isn't an option since, if I don't do my work, no one can and we end up missing our print slot, and we lose money. So I've dragged myself into work the past three days (including sunday) when I really, really shouldn't have. Not getting better at all, although at least I'm not being sick now. But I really need a day in bed to stop my ass being kicked by this virus and that's not an option.

Whine whine. just biding my time until my next dose of meds makes me feel human again.

Until then, there's a few quotes from my movie quotes quiz that haven't been guessed, so I'll throw them out there again, with clues:

4. "Suicidal paranoiacs'll say anything to get laid."
CLUE: Lydia, oh Lydia, oh have you met Lydia...

5. "The great state of Vermont will not apologize for its cheese!"
CLUE: Cheese isn't the only vice.

9. "I will have one mistress here... and no master."
CLUE: Who's Queen?

11."As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick."
"Where does the book say that?"
"Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken."
CLUE: A blessing on your head, mazeltov!

13. "Did you know, I never knew that the Third Reich meant Germany. I mean it's just drenched with historical goodies like that!"

15. "I hate the British! You are defeated but you have no shame. You are stubborn but you have no pride. You endure but you have no courage. I hate the British!"
CLUE: How about a nice Guinness?

Coreect! Accept no substitutes.

I've not even seen the new version of it. How can you top Gene Wilder?
You can't.


(One of the prime moments in my life is still going through a toll booth and the guy looking EXACTLY like Gene Wilder, ala Blazing Saddles... well, except for the modern clothing)

"My name's Jim, but most people call me...



Jim."

Yeah, the odd snippets of the new version I've seen have been embarrassing. I mean, the original wasn't exactly subtle, but everyone trying to out-do and out-ham the originals and doing terrible impressions (Will Ferrell particularly) is just painful. I imagine it's great fun on stage, but they should never have touched the movie.
