"The Horror! The Horror"



Slightly off topic, there's a website where the homilies of that Drill Instructor from Full Metal Jacket can be downloaded.
I had them on my machine in place of the default windows sounds.
They are priceless, but tend to get on ones tits after a while.

Drill Instructor: How tall are you private?
Cowboy: Sir! Five foot nine, sir!
Drill Instructor: Five foot nine? I didn't know they stacked sh!t
that high! You tryin' to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huhl

Where are you from anyway, private?Cowboy: Sir! Texas, Sir!
Drill Instructor: Holy dog sh!t! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down.

"Huey's Sir, lots of Huey's"

Probably also valid at ALS in the very near future...

[Dunhovrin]

Try www.kazaa.com (it's the new napster). There's loads of movie sound clips...and videos - all of course highly illegal.

Solotk: It's 'slopes' not 'stoats'.

To me the best line is not spoken...It's the shrug Robert Duvall gives after "Someday this war's gonna end".

Forkhill RUC helipad had "Paddy Don't Surf" written on it for months in '92-'93.
