Mine is from an advert for mushrooms from the 1980s, where animated mushrooms tell us to slice up their fellow mushrooms and "pep up a pizza".

Where is yours from?

[Chedney Honks]

Mine is just a list of all the people who inspired me over the years

[Buelligan]

From the heart.  Saw it sprayed on a STOP sign and thought, (almost) the whole of humanity should read it and be encouraged by it, so I thought I'd spread its message where I could.

My previous was the only survivor of the National Peoples' Gang but it felt too sad after something happened.

I remember that advert. Had legions of identical animated mushrooms marching along insisting we eat them, it was nightmarish.


Mine's from a BJ Novak short story. Wasn't even a particularly great story, it's just the line on it's own makes me laugh.

I thought you added it after Joey Bananaduck eliminated his own map. Mine is to remind people of that random GCSE biology fact that you learn about the pancreas without any context or detail whatsoever.

Keep meaning to change it to something else, but always forget.

ZURICHLIFE.IE because Viper Higgins is such an insanely quotable and funny guy

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Mine is from some useful, constructive criticism that dear old Plankton Sideburns gave me. Wanted to thank him for giving these inspirational words 'neath my picture ( they make a change from quotes from that actor lady), but when I tried to write him a " nice words, cheers" msg., it transpired he'd blocked me :(
Will just have to use this post to say " Thank-o, Plank-O!"

This fantastic piece of art. The way he screams it will never not tickle me. Just rewatching it as I post this will have me quoting it under my breath for a few hours.

It's a personal ad I've always wanted to put in a newspaper classifieds section but couldn't be arsed.

I was in a JPop chatroom and there was an online vote to choose someone to do a concert in their country and the choice was between Yoshizawa Hitomi and Fujimoto Miki (they wanted everyone to choose Miki).  The site was all in Thai and machine translation was in its infancy and when I translated some of the text on the page that was what I got.

Also, it's literally true about me. Literally.

In his deeply heart-rending capital punishment doc Into the Abyss, Herzog demands of a teary prison chaplain: 'please describe an encounter with a squirrel'.

[Pink Gregory]

just from Look Around You innit; also me and Lady Gregory just scream 'egg' at each other all, but not in a Histor and Pliny way.

Mine is from this, which gave me a guilty laugh.

It's not exactly obscure so I won't patronise anyone by stating the obvious.
