What are some of your favorite lines from the book?

Well, "Let's cut her open like a prom date!" is a high ranker on my list.

For non-humor, I'd have to go with what Dr. Menace said towards her decision for an act of will. That was cool.

"I am rubber, you are glue. Everything you say bounces off me and PLAAAAZMA BEAM!" had me in stiches. Especially with Sparky's "You were meant to do a plazma beam and not just say it" afterwards (or whatever it is they say exactly). That was probably my favourite single line from a character.

That, or after Sparky finds KatKat with the mining tools and just makes loads of spluttering noises, Dr Menace simply says "I am surrounded by gibbering foolz" (or something to that effect). I found that unusually funny too.

Pretty much every line of dialogue, especially by Nuke, when they are driving to pick up Rachel and head to the beach. If I had to pick a favorite out of that though -- as the whole thing is more befitting the Favorite Issue thread -- I'd say it's this...

“Hands on the wheel!” Atomik Lad yelled.
“Gah! Where?!” Nuklear Man recoiled further from the steering wheel.
“No! Your hands on the wheel!”
“No they’re not, silly. See?” He waved his unoccupied hands in front of the sidekick’s face.
“Argh!”

Everything you need to know about Nuklear Man, Atomik Lad, and how they relate to one another is in that exchange.

I like this one: "Hmph, lousy overrated dayball." -Nuklear Man

Probably "Since when do you need a license to drive? What kind of elitist society is this?!" I'm an internal laugher, but that line just had me laughing out loud, simultanteously destroying my strict internal laughing lifestyle (damn you, Brian!) and my favourite kidney.

Oh, and seen as how this is my first post, I should probably say something deep and meaningful. But I won't.

I don't know why, but every time "Whisakey " was mentioned I was rolling.

I've only just started readin but this had me in stitches

"So dont you talk to me about fair!"
"you said that already."
"Don't you said that to me already!"

I don't really know. I havn't really found a book that I REALLY like so far. Because i've had to live with the Accelerated Reader program I can't really read any comedy book. My favorite quote period is probably "I KNOW LETS PLAY TOSS THE H-BOMB!" or "Why be different, when you cant be yourself".

I liked any conversation between Nuke and Danger: Computer Lady. Like:

"Hit Me!"
"That's Blackjack."
"Tsk. You shouldn't be discriminate."
Danger: Computer Lady desperately wanted to rub her optical receptors.

Then there's this that cracked me up.

His stamina at maintaining impressive poses--and this time without a cape mind you--never ceased to amaze him.
Neither did Scoth Tape. But we'll not linger on that.

And then my most favorite line so far:

"Beer, beer beer, beer liquor."

You mean you cannot read it for credit. Or are your guardians that mean?

On topic: Good job! You saved him!
For some reason Atomik Lad didn't believe Nuklear man was speaking to him.

Just 'cause of the credit.

Than read it for fun. It's worth it.

On topic: the spiders say a lot of great quotes.

Every time Nuke said something about his looks, the best of which, "Damn, I'm pretty."

I recently remembered a none-comedy quote I liked, which was "This is like a sinking ship, we're all in it together." and "But somebody has to be the first one to the lifeboats" (roughly) in summing up the world. I thought it was a good similie for explaing it, and Rachel's metaphor was a good comeback. And it explained the world perfectly.

If I got similie's and metaphors the wrong way round, don't point it out. I like to maintain the illusion in my head I'm good at English.

I liked the depressing-ish "Every love story with a happy ending is a lie. Real love can only end in suffering. In the end, it comes down to either betrayal or death"
But that's just because I feel that way at the minute :D

favorite quote? hmmm....

"Nuklear Age" by Brian Clevinger.


That one.

It's so hard to choose, but I have to go with Rachel's "On the second date? Someone's got a high opinion of himself."

Though being an overnight stocker the line "Does it have to be so bright? It's the middle of the day, people are out here, it's dangerous." does have special meaning to me.

For me, it would have to be '"You talk what?" This was no time for grammar.'

"There are no innocents, Sparky,' Nuklear Man growled with a sinister Plazma glow about his eyes.
"Okay, this is so not the time to bring that up again. I think the less the public knows about your proposed Cleansings, the better. All right?"
"But punishment must be dealt swiftly and-"
"Nuke."
"Oh fine. Lousy sinner, Nuke smash you later."

I liked alot of lines from Rachel yelling at the movie to speed up the ending. But my favorite is:

"Water + lungs = dead. It's a simple equation, people."

I like this one: "Hmph, lousy overrated dayball." -Nuklear Man

That one wasn't funny to me until I re-read the book. The ending makes that statement all the funnier.

Probably the ol' "The Prince of Darkness just hung up on me! What a jerk."
