Good thinking Batman 1

[gizmo1973]

Where did this phrase come from?
Obviously the series/film Batman but I don't seem to remember this is a catchphrase as such, not like "gee willickers" etc
I have noticed a lot of my age group (30 something’s) use this phrase when a good idea is formulated.
Are my colleagues and I the only ones who use this phrase or has anyone else noticed this?


Regards, Phil.

Warning! Warning! Alien Approaching!

or the much more common

Danger, Will Robinson!

My friends and I tend to use that when describing something we know we shouldn't have done, but we did it anyway!

This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.

Q: Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws.

Ok, for Bond quotes, my favorite is:

(Bond examines a trap-shooting gun handed to him by the bad guy (Largo), owned by Largo's mistress)
Bond: Nice gun. Looks more fitting for a woman.
Largo: Oh really Mr. Bond. Do you know a lot about guns?
Bond: No...but I know a little about women.

jsteph, I'm with you.

Up In Smoke: best moment for me is when the motorcycle traffic cop has been following the dope encrusted van, all the while breathing in smoke from the dope burt by the hot exhaust pipe. Finally he stops the van and sidles up to the drivers window. Cheech or Chong winds down the window to hear the bad new and the cops says, "Hi, waddaya want?"

That film had me on the cinema floor in stitches... but hey, thats interactive audience participation for you.

Just be carefull when buying stuff from Labradore!

Cheech and Chong are responsible for my unbreakable habit of intoning "Dave's not here" every time someone calls out my coworker's name.

It also occurs to me that there are a couple of good ones from The Princess Bride...Peter Cook's awesome wedding ceremony (all about "mawage" and "wuv, twue wuv") and the wonderful, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Thanks!

Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Once, I shared helpdesk duties with a programmer named Dave. I was his backup, so, when he went to lunch or was off, I had the helpdesk alert sound a .WAV file of Tommy Chong saying, "Dave's not here."

Watching old copy of The Three Stooges, the 1949 pilot for ABC called "Jerk of all trades." "Hello, Helllooo, Hellllloooo!!!!" Classic. (Shemp, not Curly, still good.)

I never realized how many of these I used in ordinary conversation, but last night I found myself asking (sarcastically, of course) "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
Thanks!

I use this slight paraphrase regularly: "I'd like to buy a clue Pat!" (said of one who is clueless, obviously).

One that seems to be making an impact at the moment is

My wife was once in the habit of saying to me (when we disagreed), "I don't think so, Tim." (from Home Improvement).

[tsdragon]

Along the lines of sleipnir's:

"We are definitely not in Kansas anymore!"

"This is a 'no house falling zone'"

"And you little dog too!"

"Surrender Dorothy!"

The last one was spray-painted on an overpass on I-495 near Washington, DC. within sight of the Mormon Temple there. The people around DC call the temple "Oz" for it's fanciful construction. Needless to say, the Mormons are not amused.

A current phrase 'round the office, when answering internal phone calls, is:

[ignore][funny voice] "'Ello Moto" [/funny voice][/ignore]

I know it's from an ad, but thought it counted!
