There are those who mock me for my love of professional wrestling, but it should be noted that if mockery hurt my feelings, I’d probably never have survived knowing Stephen for the last 25 years or so. Besides, the occasionally masked warriors of the world of wrasslin’ have a lot in common with the superheroes and sci-fi types that Faithful Spoilerites love. Many of our heroes have their own catchphrases, from Han Solo’s “I’ve gotta bad feeling about this” to Spock’s “Fascinating” to Spider-Man’s “I have no idea what happened to my wife”. Heck, The Doctor has six or ten different ones, depending on the incarnation and season involved, while James T. Kirk has a method of speaking that turns EVERYTHING he says into something of a trademark, which in turn begs a query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) kinda favors “It’s King Cobra’s world… You just live in it”, asking: If you had to choose RIGHT NOW, what would be your catch-phrase?

If we’re going with things we actually say, then any variation of “I haven’t (something) since the accident”. Most often it seems to be “I haven’t shown up on film since the accident” and “I haven’t had any shame since the accident”.
I’ve had one for a while. It expresses my distrust of a group of people who invented chocolate (thus contributing to my obesity). They also have unlimited access to the Vatican, and put holes in cheese. Their supposed “neutrality” is in my suspicion a ruse for an impending attack of some kind. Therefore, with all these secret plots in place, they can easily be blamed for all the world’s problems.
(BTW, for those of you with a ridged sense of humor, this is what we call a joke)
My catch phrase is “I Blame the Swiss.”
There are a couple of phrases that pop up: “(Insert obscure reference)… nevermind.” eg around fellow students and I throw out for a more mainstream ref say Doctor Who.
Also “I can give you the long, medium, or short answer.”
Probably, “Let’s not make any decisions while we are angry.” With a newborn in he house, sleep deprivation gets the better of you sometimes.
everyone i know says that if you ask me what time it is, i’ll explain how your watch works so I’d have to go with “Do you want the long answer, or the really really long answer.”
Since I’m the real life Blitz, my catchphrase probably ought to be “Awwww, man…”
in last month the onle that has infected the office is “cool cool Cool”
One that I tend to favor is Adam Savage’s: “I reject your reality, and substitute my own.”
“What in the Wide World of Sports is a’going on here?” works for me.
