BALEETED.
So the Quote War got deleted due to a misunderstandency. Boo. Here I have transcribed (from memory ARGH) Octopus' interactions with carrioncannon and foxhoundmantis in that thread. (No way I'm going to remember all the Douglas Adams quotes he threw at crisiscontrol.)
Currently very poorly and hastily-before-I-forget-it-all formatted.
Raven: As the (Lakota?) say, "Bring it, bitch."
Octopus: I FUCKIN' CALLED IT. (First quote in thread was "Raven's gonna pwn us all." - Decoy Octopus, 2008.)
Raven: Some cultures call the octopus "devilfish". Others, "delicious fried."
Octopus: Bluebird of friendliness, like guardian angels it's always near.
Raven: To attract a bird, one must only hold that which the bird desires and hold very still.
Octopus: I, I who have nothing; I, I who have no one. [Deliberately does not quote further.]
Raven: Where there is life, there is hope. (ish.)
Octopus: Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.
Raven: Much of Emily Dickenson's poetry is written in ballad meter, and thus can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."
Octopus: [tries it in his head. to his horror, it works.] It has a look of serene incomprehension on its face that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything is all right, even though you know it probably won't be. (not quite, but can be looked up - Douglas Adams on kakapos) (subject line: CAN'T UNHEAR)
Raven: Even after the wind and storms, the swallow rebuilds its nest. (waaaay off) (subject line: it also works with Rime of the Ancient Mariner and the theme to Gilligan's Island)
Octopus: Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, though the way be cold and dark (no fucking clue, from You'll Never Walk Alone, can look up later) (subject line: Nah, I use Amazing Grace for Gilligan's Island)
Raven: We've known each other for so long, your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it. Inside we both know what's been going on, we know the game and we're gonna play it.
Octopus: ... As you wish.
Raven: As the ancient Babylonians said, NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP.
Octopus: [sigh, fine.] Never gonna let you down.
Raven: [be that way then.] As the (squid, cephalopod, kraken?) said to the submarine, would you like a hug?
Octopus: [Fuck it.] Quit playing games with my heart.
Raven: A man's heart is his own, and no one else may hold it.
Octopus: I may not have a lot to give, but what I've got I'll give to you.
Raven: ...the otter (or some critter) swims into the reeds, though it knows not what it will find there. (WAY FUCKING OFF)
Octopus: Believe me, you don't have to worry, I just want to make you happy, and if you say, "Hey go away" I will (uh...from "I Think I Love You", still too lazy to Google.)

Mantis: Cite?
Octopus: Probably whatever sites come up when he types "funny sig quotes" into Google. [oh snap!]
Snake: The Googles? Yes, I use that at my work on the Internets. (something like that) ...you're almost exactly right.
