I was about to argue that no-one outside Britain will understand that pun, but then I remembered: 2014. Select, right-click, google search...

Shakespeare, baby. The Bard is in the hizzouse.

I heard it used in many a British show as a joke. I did check the origin a long time ago, but even now I see Red Dwarf for some reason, even though I'm fairly certain it wasn't used there...
To the googles!

It's used in the opening of the first series of Blackadder, where Richard III is played by Peter Cook and Richard IV is Brian Blessed, but they twist it around to be the summer of sweet content, I went with the original which seemed more apt.

Aargh. My bad - never read Richard III, only knew "the winter of discontent" of 1978 / 79.Edit: fixed the broken quote to show Arantor's post and not mine.

Ah, sounds as a reasonable source.
Also, I checked, google doesn't find a confirmation of the whole line being used. There is that line in Marooned where Rimmer quotes Shakespeare. But, of course, the joke is that all he remembers is "Now..." so...

That's before my time and it didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it.

If you relied on the URL, it seems to lag quite a lot most of the time.

I don't even know what I relied upon... I blame Discourse, you can't be wrong with that!

No but they'll make a shitty movie about it.

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear Discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Jeff Atwood."
-
“Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black code as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Atwood “Nevermore.”
-
Once you finish this poem, I say we put Oedipus in the queue. We could have fun with that one. Or perhaps the tale of Icarus, flying too close to the sun and dying, etc.
-
For the meter, you'd need it to be:
Quoth the Atwood, "Nevermore"
-
-
I actually thought I'd removed the 'the'. Fail.
-
I kinda want to flag you for pendant for that, due to being right.
It's the first time I've ever done something pedantic enough to be flagged
-

It works better as "Quoth the Atwood" rather than "Quoth Jeff Atwood".

Yes, Your Pendantiness. It's a word. Yes. If you say otherwise: lalalalalalalalalala.
-
I wear a pendant, yes. It happens to be a dragon. Pendantic dickweedery doesn't qualify for badges around here though.

Bad luck for you.

Hmmm. Why are you single, again?
-
Trying too hard.
-
Hmmm. Why are you single, again?
Because the last one didn't want 'a project' and the one before that slept around with a bunch of people in an effort to figure out when to trade up. Next question?

requires permit A 38 to get a date with him.

In that case you should have the badge in no time.
-
You're also presuming I want the badge. I'm trying hard to be less of a pedantic prick in real life (yay Aspie)

I forgot about circular B 65. Sowwy.

Obelix would probably join you if he could find the way out.

Because the ember melted?
No, fuck, that's amber that could make sense...
Can we contact the devs so they rename the framework?

No, "Ember" is quite apt - think of this:"Rising out of the ember ashes like a phoenix, version 2.0, a complete rebuild, finally attained approval by the merry folks of TDWTF"

Yeah, that's fine, though I was going for the wax angle, seeing how often Ember fucks up when reloading stuff, loading new posts etc.
