[META/OT] Favorite Quote? What's your favorite quote from the entire ILB ARG and why?
For me, it's Kamal's "For some reason, it's never Plan A." It just stands out to me, because that's exactly how I've been feeling for the past few months (almost word-for-word match on my thoughts), and then it pops up in this game. To me, it stands out as one of those "meaningful" quotes that some people enjoy all too much; as one of those little truisms of life.
A runner up would be the conversation between Kamal and Hiro about the chicken. Ketchup = Worcestershire Sauce?

"when you were a baby, someone took a needle and shot you full of miracles""
My favorite quote wasd actually one taken out of context, but I wont relate it since I may get strung up for it. Leave the next quote above as runner up....

"Creeeepy."
With a single word, Jersey manages to capture the feeling that crawls up our spine every so often throughout the course of this little adventure.

I gotta say, one of the first .wav files had this quote,
"As soon as I started talking about intestinal parasites, boom, gone!"
"I don't get it. That should've worked, it's right here in the book. Chapter Three, share your interests."
Watching the characters of Kamal and Hiroyuki develop over the course of the .wavs has always been fun for me, starting with this introduction to the .wavs.

butter_flavored was freaking hilarious, but for me it'd be both times Durga has said "I can do better than that."
I wish I had my very own Durga.

I can think of a lot of great quotes from the wavs. Some have already been mentioned, so I'm gonna go with this:
Jersey: Are you insane?
Durga: You know I'm not quite sure how we could test that.
...from taxes_suck.wav

As terrific as all the wavs have been, my fav quote thus far is from a fellow beekeeper. I think it was Krystyn who said "get all thin kinkle on your a$$" and for me, that has had me rolling on the floor with laughter for some reason.

Favorite quote.. bah, there's too many good lines! Kamal's quote about Payphones, his "It's never Plan A" quote, Jersey saying "Creeepy"...
I can't pin it down, but daboking reminded me of the "get all thin kinkle on your a$$" line and I spent another half a dozen minutes laughing so hard I wasn't breathing properly. And woke my girlfriend up. (Sucks having my computer in my room sometimes. Ooops... she's really starting to get annoyed whenever I start going "Bzzzzz" randomly..)
As far as favourite out of game quotes go: "poultry in motion" takes the cake for me. I gotta hand it to you, daboking, that was about the best piece of Haiku ever.
Edit: God, I can't believe I forgot the bit on winning.wav :
Durga and Jersey wrote:
Jersey: What is she doing?
Durga: Playing..
Jersey: Oh man.. is she winning?
Jan (From Durga's tape): "Kiss them... " *wimper* ".. and they fall in love."
Durga: ... she's winning.

Hmm, it's either this one from hey_toots:

Not sure if this counts as a quote, but both key_lime and candidate. I love the Professor's accent. As for a direct quote, I'm going to have to go with the Coral Dog "Not me, but another dog that looks just like me."
