Quotes from rec.arts.drwho
The
January-May 2002
Quotefile.
"Of course, if you had a quote file, you could look it up in the quote
file under quote file" ...
- Jason A. Miller 31st May 1995
Welcome everyone to the latest Quote File. The Quote File is basically
all the smartest, wittiest most entertaining stuff coillected off
rec.arts.drwho (though other Doctor Who newsgroups are also eligible
if
you want to send something in) filtered by trained primates and
presented
back to you in a sort of instant-nostalgia recycling exercise
curiously
reminiscent of Readers Digest only more enlightening and actually
funny.
Essentially, it is the funniest quotes to appear in the newsgroup as
nominated by *you*. To that end, if you see a quote you think
derserves an
entry in the Quote File, just mail Robert at
smithrj2@mcmail.cis.mcmaster.ca
(note that the < radwquotefile@geocities.com > addy no longer works)
and include the attributions and the quote in full.
Please don't be shy about nominating stuff directly to Robert via
e-mail.
Saying 'quotefile!' in the newsgroup may just be a way to express how
funny you think a post is, but it's also highly likely that, due to
the
sheer traffic of stuff round here, it won't find its due receptacle.
Even
if you only think it's mildly funny, or if you think that nobody else
might get the joke, Robert (and his humble minions) would much rather
have too much to choose from than too little.
I've tried to do my best, but if you spot any mistakes, inform Robert
so they can be corrected when put on the Web page.

Hmmm... so it was actually an airborne computer virus that rerouted
the
movement functionality to the automatic shaving circuits.
The real question is then why Daleks need to carry such a large supply
of
shaving foam. Do Dalek mutants constantly get mistaken for members of
ZZ Top

And where was Davros keeping his beard anyway?

Okay, you're talking about our Yanks.
But this is another universe, where we've seen time and time again
that Yankees talk in a cringe-inducing accent that makes us want to
avoid seeing/hearing stories in which they appear ever again.
Except that guy in Tomb of the Cybermen. He's hilarious.
For some unknown reason, this is how Yankees talk in the Doctor Who
universe. You just have to accept it. Since these Who-niverse people
have actually got very little over our universe, I can only assume
that this alteration in the accents is the SOLE achievement of the
combined intellect of the Daemons and Scaroth. Okay, two achievements:
Landing on Mars in the late 60s and annoying US accents. Two
achievements. And TOMTIT. That's three. Three small achievements, and
I'm not so sure that Micro-Monolothic circuitry isn't really behind
most of the advanced scientific stuff anyway. So ONE. One achievement.
What were we talking about again?

Hang on. There's 'novelette' !
I wonder if anyone's tied up the rights to start producing Doctor Who
novelettes?
Let me just give the BBC a quick call with my proposal, featuring the
following criteria:
1) Each 'novelette' will cost 100 pounds for the standard edition.
2) The standard edition will look very much like laserprinted sheets
of paper stapled together while my boss is on his lunch break.
3) The special 'duotang' edition will sell for 500 pounds. (Example
available here:
http://www.ordersuppliesonline.com/sku.cfm?mode=full&pbid=2035723&prod
uctname=Duo%2DTang%20Custom%20Report%20Covers%20For%20Dummies
)
4) Each story MUST take place within an existing televised Dr. Who
adventure, preferably in between two existing scenes.
5) Publication schedule: weekly.
6) I will write them all myself.

I've been thinking of putting a self-help group together for
webmasters who
gather no feedback. We can meet at mine if you like. Bring soup.
*two weeks later*
Reports have come in that Neil Perryman is residing comfortably in the
insitute for the criminally insane, after attempting to drown the
entire
world with soup last week. Police psychologists report that Mr
Perryman
was apparently driven over the edge when a self-help group that he
organised, for webmasters who gather no feedback, failed to illicit
any
attendence.
Mr Perryman then allegedly went on a rampage through the city,
attempting
to drown everyone with soup and scrawling "Visit my webpage, you
bastards!" on every available surface. Upon being arrested, he is
reported
to have sobbed into his soup and requested that the arresting officer
waive his right to a phone call and instead visit and comment on his
webpage. The arresting officer declined, whereupon Mr Perryman flew
into a
further rage. The arresting officer is recovering nicely, although
doctors
are slightly concerned for his diet, because he cannot yet consume
solids
and appears to have a pathalogical fear of soup.
The offending web page can be found at http://www.tachyon-tv.co.uk,
but we
didn't actually visit it to check, or anything.

They plan to use it to simultaneously push all the wine in the
universe to a delicious drinkable age, then while everyone is pissed
they sneak in and abduct all milk-producing mammals - ensuring
themselves a monopoly supply when the demand for Brie then skyrockets.
Charging exorbitant prices, they slowly spread their financial empire,
buying out the cracker, spread, biscuit and soft drink markets. This
gives them a massive base for further expansion, and by pitting their
own Coke and Pepsi products against each other, they fuel the real
Cola Wars (forcing up both demand and price at the same time). Nekros
was a testbed for the following stage of the plan, when they
spontaneously replace all food in the universe with a rather
suspicious-looking substance.
Had this occurred it might have continued like this until someone
could reincarnate Richard Branson, offering a cheap alternative, at
which point undercutting of prices would eventually force the Daleks
into liquidation. One of the strangest sights in the universe is the
TV commercial with a Dalek in silly wig and huge glasses, proclaiming
"I-HAVE-GONE-COM-PLETE-LY-MAD!" and "EV-ER-Y-THING-MUST-GO!".

True enough, but really, it's been a pretty impressive run. Most
newsgroups
need a couple of years to get the feel of all its characters and fall
into a
good rhythm before it produces any humour content of note. On radw,
the
characters entered fully fledged: Heer and Anghelides the wits, the
Dave
twins' surreal slapstick screamers, wry commentry from Orman......
Right
from the earliest days the Quotefile was producing cutting edge humour
which
was the marvel of newsgroups everywhere.
Over the years some of the central characters moved on, but the comedy
remained strong and the changing cast kept it satisfyingly fresh. The
acid
charm of Smith?, the drugged-out rantings of Daniels, the fnerkiness
of the
Foom Chronicles and the innocent pleasures of a dose of Banana. Under
the
guidance of the producer who hid behind a trademark "?", the Quotefile
has
built a proud tradition. It was amazing that it was so good for so
long.
Alas, nothing lasts forever. Perhaps, as some say, radw became too
caught
up in the cult of its own history. Perhaps we took our eye off the
ball as
we waited for the highly anticipated spin-off group radwm, which never
materialised. Perhaps it was the growing competition from other
humorous
newsgroups as the internet took off. Perhaps, as others would have
it, the
Quotefile maestro wanted to move on and farmed out the production
duties to
well-meaning amateurs. In any case, we are living in fallen times,
where
farce masquerades as humour, with thread-lines that would be an insult
to
the Golden Age of the Quotefile.
Don't be sorry. Be proud. The Quotefile was great while it lasted.
Perhaps we should cancel it now before it degenerates into pantomime
completely. Better to hold tight the glory days of radw humour than
cast
about for new forms on the various unauhorised chatrooms.
Any chance of an enhanced compilation on DVD, with commentary from
some of
the original posters?

Well, even back in the Good Old Days there were never actually more
than 9
posters on radw at any one time. All the rest were simulated through
the
clever use of mirrors and cardboard cutouts. And the horrendously
malfunctioning Yadsbot, obviously. But they were *good* cutouts, and
amusingly distorted mirrors!
These days we may all be clones created to feed straight lines to
Smith?;
but are we clones of actual posters, clones of mirrors or cutouts of
actual
posters, anti-clones of posters who never used to exist, an
horrendously
malfunctioning Yadsbot, or even clones of Grandfather Smith? himself?
Ultimately, it doesn't really matter. Created or no, our purpose in
life is
still going to be what it was in the Before: to provide material for
Smith?
I'd blame Anghelides for all the confusion except that I know for a
fact he
didn't exist until he wrote the pun that broke the Quotefile forever.

House 14 recently realised that while we'll pull apart Star Trek for
being
slightly off about cutting-edge physics, we'll happily go along with
Tom
Baker's plan to reverse the gravitaional pull of Adric using a teabag
and
an elastic band. This suggests to us that 'suspension of disbelief'
reaches a whole new level when you replace 'this is the future, in
which
we all live in space with Patrick "I'm Classically Trained You KNow"
Stewart' with something more outrageous. This activates the bit of
brain
which regulates plausibility, resulting in the message "He travels
through
time and space in a box, turning into a new actor every few years.
Let's
just stop asking questions, shall we?"
Then again, it may be the effect of childhood indoctrination by
McGyver.

I had the following converstaion the other day, and as I have nothing
better to do (housemates sleep till at least 1pm), I shall 'share':
Miriam: "So if Grace's ex's shoes fit Eight perfectly, does that mean
that
she chooses men based entirely on shoe size?"
Meself: "Perhaps she's some sort of freak who finds shoeless men and
entices them back to her lair of sin with the promise of shoes. And
she
has a vast collection of shoes from the people she kills at the
hospital.
Maybe that's why she killed Seven. He had quite good shoes."
Miriam: "Or perhaps she finds men _with_ shoes and redistributes them
as a
form of mind control?"
Meself: "She's certainly implied as a shoe fetishist of some sort."
Miriam:"Then again, perhaps they didn't fit perfectly at all, perhaps
he
lied to get the hell away fom her in case the bitch killed him again."
Meself: "Perhaps they were magic shoes, like those gloves that fit
everyone. Or perhaps the Doctor had travelled in time to set Grace up
with
someone with that particular shoe size to ensure that he would get
shoes
when he was Eight?"
Miriam: "Why did none of the Doctor's ever regenerate an go "Arggh!
These
bloody shoes are two sizes two small!" Because that would hurt."
Well? Why didn't they?

Death causes relaxation of the bowels. Thus if a Time Lord is dying
at the
point of regeneration, then his new incarnation might come into
existence
in
browned keks (that might be squeezing like buggery due to a new body
size).
I'm not sure that's a mental image I wanted.

Subject: Beltempest Dalek Death Ray Question
I've just struggled through reading Beltempest (not one of my
favourite 8th
Doctor novels!) and was surprised to read the Doctor saying "have you
ever
seen what happens to a Walls Dalek Death Ray when you pop it in the
microwave...?"
This seems a very strangle line for even the Doctor to say. I can't
imagine
how we can even try to fit that line into established continuity. In
the
"Who-niverse" I doubt very much if Dalek Death Ray ice creams did
exist.
Maybe they were manufactured to celebrate the Daleks defeat in 2167?
But
then this is like making suckable Bin-Laden ice lollys isn't it? Would
you
really want to suck on a Dalek after it has wiped out most of the
population
of your planet? (or suck on Bin-Laden for that matter...)
I do remember these ice creams quite well, but I'm also pretty sure
they had
long been phased out by Walls before the microwave oven became
popular.
I know Jim Mortimer was aiming for the "in-joke" here but it did
rather
spoil the novel a bit as it's obviously taking the piss.
Has anyone else got any ideas how we can fit the Dalek Death Ray into
established continuity and thus enable me to sleep at night? Then
again,
should I just write off Beltempest altogether as a rather boring book
and
not try and fit any of into the "real" Who time-lines?

Okay, it was really the 60s, as evidenced by the fashions, cars, etc,
etc. But people *believed* it was the 1970s[1] due to a long-term plan
concocted by the Master in league with an advance party of Kraals who
thought the whole 'pretend village' idea was a bit shit, and why not
do it for real. So Sarah thought she was from 1980, but wasn't really.
The whole thing was uncovered in the unseen story 'The Calendar of
Fear' in 1977/1982.
[1] With the exception of those in the DVLC, which was temporarily
taken over as the spearhead of the third Auton invasion, who thought
it was a type of plastic.
Actually, on reflection, maybe all the years were right.
Web - 1976
Invasion - 1980
Spearhead to Android Invasion - late 1980 to early 1980
Sarah from Pyramid - 1980
K9 & Company - 1981
Brigadier Retires - 1976
Mawdryn - 1983
You see in that time there were significant advances in technology
alongside
retro fashions and designs. The tech was probably Vaughns stuff -
SEVEN Mars
Probes, time devices, the Robot, the far flung astronaut in the
Android
Invasion etc etc. But in later years - Timeflight, Attack of the
Cybermen etc -
this tech does not seem to have advanced. In fact we've gone back.
So what happened? Well maybe they got caught in a time knot because of
all the
time fluctuations going on at the time - Inferno, Axos, TOMTIT, Time
Warrior,
Three Doctors, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Spiders, Timeflight,
Mawdryn, Arc etc
plus the Doctor pissing about with his Tardis (opened the eye didn't
he), the
return of the Mandragora energy 500 years after the original story. In
the end
everything got twsited at a point of time - a bit like a Groundhog Day
but
without the constant repetition.
So how can we understand it? We can't - yet. You see Timelords are a
species
who have harnessed the energy of a black hole and whose ultimate
travel device
is a Tardis. Whilst humans' ultimate energy device is rubbing together
two
sticks of radiation just before they explode and our ultimate travel
device is
a glider strapped to the back of a large bottle of turps.
It would be the equivalent of explaining the theory of relativity to a
banana.

Actually, I think he might have been an *excellent* Bombadil!
Old Tom Baker-dill is a funny fellow,
Twenty feet his scarf is, and his voice is mellow.
None has understood him yet, Tom's mind is never mastered:
His lines are the weirdest lines, and he's often plastered.
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! drink along! to the Lake and Willow!
Tom bomb, sozzle Tom, Tom bring a pillow!
Hey! Come merry dol! very droll! old darling!
Quick to a sherry binge, poor old Tom is barking.
Lying grave under head, stoned in the sunlight
Waiting on the pub step for the world to upright
There a pretty lady is, astral time Lord's daughter
Wanting for to marry Tom - I don't think she oughta
Our Tom Baker-dill lalla-maid's a-saying
Tirra lirra by the river lalla laid a-laying.
Hey! Come bonny doll! merry moll! he said
Romanadvoratrevorat....damn!...Fred!
Poor old silly man, tucked his roots away!
Tom's in a blue frock now - and now he's eating hay....
Tom's going home again, proprietor is moaning
Pushing back from the bar, a-wheezing and a-groaning.
Hop along with uncle Tom and out with Iris Wildthyme!
(this line's only here to give a silly mild rhyme)*
Down west sinks the Sun: soon Tom will be groping.
Iris' dreams come true at last, or no doubt so she's hoping.
Out of blue box window-panes yellow light will twinkle:
Tom will stop by open door to have a little winkle.
Fear neither root nor pinch! Tom goes on 'fore you now
Hey now! merry dog! Who's your daddy? Whoops! Oww!

Well, I turned up at the hotel, but shortly after I did, a whole group
of
Star Trek fans started invading the convention. Their leader finally
appeared, but he looked a lot like me, only a lot more 'armless. I
think he was actually my grandfather. There was a lot of confusion and
running about and the girl I arrived with ended up fleeing with some
computer technician.
Suddenly, out of the blue, my car from last year, which I thought had
been
destroyed totally when I went on that road trip to the weird Avalon
con,
turned out not to be destroyed after all. And for no reason that made
any
sense, an alternate version of myself was there, only he hadn't had an
accident I'd once had. Or something - it was a pretty confusing
convention.
What's more, it didn't seem very consistent with other conventions I'd
been to. All the guests were suddenly economists, for no real reason.
And
while we had been expecting to share the convention with some Earth 2
fans and had been dreading it, I found some secret files in the
program
guide that revealed that the other attendees weren't from Earth 2
after
all and it was all a big secret that didn't make much sense either.
Suddenly the Star Trek fans started appearing and overrunning the
convention. This was terrible, as you might imagine, only they weren't
the
scary Voyager-worshipping death cult Star Trek fans we'd met a few
conventions ago, but rather just a bunch of generic Trekkers, with
poor
motivation.
We fought them off for a while, but it became clear they were going to
take over the convention. By an astoniching coincidence, I found a
huge
lever that just happened to be wired in to the little known
self-destruct
button for the hotel. My grandfather tried to stop me, but I knew what
I
had to do, so I pulled the lever... and that's what happened to
Gallifrey.
Weirdly, it seems as though all the convention guests from all the
previous years now never attended, but that has me even more confused.
I
think I'm going to go somewhere on my own for a while and just forget
all
about it.

Partly cloudy, partly sunny, with a growing high pressure zone from
increased Telos output and a continuing deluge of Big Finish. Plus a
sharp ray of sunshine in the vicinity of the hardback script books,

What confuses me most about it is the inconsistency. You want
"Mission to the Unknown" to be called "Dalek Cutaway"? OK. You want
the first story to be called "100,000 BC"? OK. You want Pertwee's
second story to be called "Doctor Who And The Silurians"? OK. But
why do you _never_ see these people insisting that the proper title of
his THIRD story is "THE AMBASSADORS (ZWANG!) OF DEATH"? I mean, the
"Zwang!" sound effect is an absolutely integral part of the title, and
I for one am sick and tired of people talking about this story under
an incorrect and incomplete title.

So, someone gets this guy, right, four copies of him, from different
times in his life, and drops them someplace. Then we see a girl and a
"man on a boat", in this long lingering scene where she just lies
there talking about labourers and stuff. I think it was a clip from
the 70s. And the four guys all meet these girls they used to know
(except one whose with a guy, but after a while they meet this other
girl and guy they used to know). One of the girls keeps calling the
guys "grandfather", even the one who's younger than her. Then all
these guys covered in silver paper show up and start waving their big
guns around, and then there's these big hairy guys, and guys with egg
whisks and plungers. And then one of these guys meets this guy he used
to know, "the Master", who always carries around this black rod with a
knob on the end. Forget what it's called, something to do with tissues
I think. And then the four guys all come together in the climactic
scene. Yours for $50, money well spent, nudge nudge wink wink.

Dear Sir
Controller of BBC1 Ms Lorraine Heggessy has asked me to say that she
hates
Science Fiction and doesn't want any of that childish tat on her
channel.
It makes her vomit.
Besides, there is no room with the 24 hours of alternating
'EastEnders' and
'Casualty' which she is introducing from tomorrow. Everyone knows
that
these are her favourite programmes and wants them shown as much as
possible
in place of everything else.
The new 24-hour channels being introduced are as follows.
BBC-A: Animals (the Controller says we never see enough of Rolf
Harris)
BBC-B: Boring cookery shows (ditto Ainsley Harriott)
BBC-C: Casualty (well, dur....)
BBC-D: Bit of an arguament on this one, as Head of Drama suggested
bringing
back Dr Who but was demoted to Children's Programmes as a warning. So
this
has also gone to the dogs, as has the entire BBC. So more Rolf.
BBC-E: EastEnders: The cast have agreed to live in the sets on a
permanent
basic, making a soap as well as a documentary of life in the east end.
Cor
blimey love a duck van Dyke.
BBC-F: Fuck all worth watching.
Further plans for additional channels "BBC Quirke", "BBC Old Men in
Yorkshire Which Isn't Funny Anymore" and "BBC we used to have Sport"
are in
development.
Yours Sincerely
A. Bootlicking-Arsewipe
Groveller-in-Chief (Programming)

Johann Clues liked art.
He had discovered this some time in the 1960s, around the time the art
world was moving on from the mild but dull oddness of cubism and
futurism and surrealism, to the less mild but much duller oddness of
guys in suits standing around all day - but in an art gallery. But it
was all tremendously *intellectually* exciting, of course.
After several years of struggling through a degree in fine arts and
trying awfully hard to understand and appreciate it all, he had been
standing in a gallery in Soho one day in 1967, watching a still life
called "Nude in Chair" which, however hard he tried to analyse it,
just seemed to be a naked woman sitting in a chair, when a revelation
came upon him. Hardly knowing what he was doing, he found himself
turning to the attractive young flower child beside him, and
explaining, with great eloquence and persuasiveness, what it all
meant.
Afterwards he wasn't even sure quite what he'd said, and the little
that he remembered didn't make a great deal of sense to him. It was as
though his higher brain functions had gone to sleep, and some kind of
hitherto unsuspected art sense had taken over his mouth for a few
minutes. And it worked a charm. Because the chicks, as they used to
say in 1967, really dug it.
So here he was twelve years later, in Paris with Lenore Braun, art
critic for that French art magazine which fortunately he didn't have
to pretend to read, since nobody expected the English to learn the
Frog language just to read art magazines, not even leading art
academics. He'd had his eye on her for years now, after catching the
odd fleeting glimpse, trying but never quite succeeding in initiating
contact with an occasional awkward English nod and mouthed greeting at
various conferences and exhibitions, and now through a stroke of sheer
luck he'd found her entirely by chance in some obscure little gallery
and introduced himself as the great English art critic (not that he
said it of course, but in the art world in which she moved his name
was synonymous with the expression) and soon his tongue would be
working its magic upon her.
But there was nothing there. He stared long and hard, but... nothing.
He started to say something about a painting of coloured geometric
shapes, hoping he could kickstart it by getting his mouth moving, but
it went nowhere and he had to pretend it had only been a coughing fit.
Coloured geometric shapes. Seen it, talked it up, finished with it. It
was a problem he'd faced only a few times before. He had come up with
a theory: that whatever part of his brain was responsible for the
Gift, actually needed some kind of artistic stimulation to get it
going, needed to be fed. He had come to think of it as almost a living
thing, a thing that ate art and shat first-class criticism out of his
mouth. And it was getting nothing here.
He began to sweat. It had never been this bad before. Lenore was
starting to look at him askance, clearly asking herself if this tall,
dark, devilishly handsome Englishman's reputation was all it was
cracked up to be. If something didn't happen soon, he'd lose her, and
then would he ever have the confidence to bring a woman into an art
gallery again?
He turned away from the wall in despair, and there it was. A simple,
tall, blue wooden box. An old Police Box, in fact, like he used to see
a lot in the 60s, back when the Gift had come so effortlessly. And as
he looked at it his mouth began to move, and his higher brain centers
nestled warmly into their familiar cocoon, and it was good.

The BBC would only make a new series of Doctor Who if it involved
DIY and cooking. Perhaps if someone made a pilot episode in the form
of a
docu-soap?
"A Day in the Life of a Time Traveller" - follows a humanoid calling
himself The Doctor.
7:00 am - a terrific recipe for Altairian pancakes, with a glass of
freshly chilled ucca juice
8:00 am - bloody Daleks again, always trying to take over the
universe, run up some stairs then remember that they can now follow
(bugger!)
10:00 am - Master calls around, strokes his beard, chuckles evilly
for half an hour and accuses the Doctor of being naive. Proceeds to
take over
the universe by sending strange hypnotic signals via mobile phones.
12:00 am - foiled the Master's plan, time for lunch
2:00 pm - Cybermen try to break into the Bank of England, thankfully
a group of children visiting the bank as part of their school project
(all
gold star winners) helped to wipe out the silver giants...until next
time
4:00 pm - A little trip to Metebelis 3 for a special report on
environmental concerns.
6:00 pm - Some DIY tips: how to maintain the police box exterior of
your
TARDIS, put up some shelves for all those little mementos of visits
to other planets, and re-organise the cloister room with a few
herbacious
borders.
8:00 pm - afternoon tea - the Doctor shows us his special recipe for
dropped scones.
9:00 pm - someone from the Doctor's past turns up and threatens to
reveal all unless he goes on a rampage through history stealing art
treasures. The Doctor's companions, meanwhile, writhes in sexual
ecstasy with Lord
Byron for no reason other than to ensure the ratings go above 10
million.

Yes, they were considered by many fans to be among the best underpants
ever. In them, the Doctor underwent adventures with several cute girls
and a guy in a skirt.
Sadly, the BBC destroyed most of his underpants in a periodic purge of
the BBC laundryroom. Those underpants that remain aren't in the best
of shape due to the tendency of cotton to degrade even under the best
of storage scenarios. One particular lost episode (episode three of
"The Boxer Rebellion") was known to have failed to last out the week,
but this was due to a bleach accident at Mrs. Troughton's home rather
than any particular stupidity on behalf of the BBC.
In recent years, the BBC has made a concerted effort to retrieve and
restore any of the missing undies which may be held in private
collections. No doubt this is due to the commercial success and
intense fan interest in undies of the earlier Doctors. Thanks to that
effort, the odd t-shirt or set of boxers has materialized, but the
possibilities to be found in Hong Kong and Australian collectors are
quickly drying up. One pair of thermal underpants remains from The
Abominable Snowmen, but otherwise only private photographs are to be
found. However, a notable exception is the underpants *and* t-shirt
from Tomb of the Cybermen, which enabled the BBC to release the entire
set of skivvies to the public. It is one of the few victories in the
search for lost undies.
If you have any information about Pat Troughton's underpants, you may
want to let Steve Roberts of the restoration team know about them....
