I've just discovered that this is in fact not the first time that Neil's had his copyright infringed!

I thought I remembered seeing this happen before, although I couldn't think where, so I did a search for it and found this. Obviously we are indeed doing the right thing by impersonating (although the goal may be a little obscure as yet). Just keep up the good work; I'm sure we'll get rewarded eventually.

Impersonate on,

Yeah. I happened to spot your "Lyric Quote 'tag'" posts and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bring the subject up. As I'd also been listening to Dreamsleep, and remembered you saying I can't quote the songs unless I'd listened to them, I suddenly had the inspiration to impersonate you. Indeed, I was being sincere, so I'm glad you interpreted it that way; I enjoy reading your posts, and consider you someone I respect very highly. Also, you are a dev on the TCB team, and a moderator with unlimited mod points

Flatter on,

In general, sentences ending in a preposition are thought to be bad grammar, though that connotation is fading. So if every single post on a message board ends in a preposition, what does that say about you?

Onwards game,

On isn't a preposition in "game on", it's a particle (as opposed to the sentence "what did you game on?" where it is a preposition and prescriptive grammar would prefer "On what did you game?")

As long as "Carry on" is considered to be acceptable, then I think I should be okay too.

I never knew that such an award existed. Can I create my own award? I mean, if the
the forum recognizes it to be an award, I guess that it is one.

That’s Swivel, bringing the thread back on topic.

(And I was joking about the “Onwards game” thing. I’ve always thought that the “on” in “Game on” was an adverb.)

Jeez, audio now? If you want inspiration for an audio version of "Game on," try Wayne's World.

I found something VERY interesting.... notice what's missing:

Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons....

I'll come in again.

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=1598&page=0#10588 might interest you as well then. I am sure there are others, but with 4655 posts, I don't exactly remember them all.

Wow...4655...I think only Erik's ahead of me...he has 15 more until 5000!

Well, we are speaking about 1) Posts on an Internet forum 2) Monty Python 3) Confusing threads.

Therefore, the obvious follow-up is: "Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam! Lovely spam, wonderful spam! Lovely spam, wonderful spam!"

Well, perhaps not then.

It really isn't - Babs Windsor's chest and Sid James' dirty voice can only be stretched to, say, about 15 minutes of comedy in my book.

most Carry On is acceptable if it can fit in the overhead bin and doesn't vibrate, but you'll have to have it x-rayed.

Doh, sorry - read that as a fortnight-old topic (after following the link in the Thread De-ressurection thread).
