Finished reading Gulliver's Travels. If I had to give it a grade, it would be a C. The general plot of each of the four parts can be summed up by that pattern I set up in my last post. The only major deviations come in the last two voyages. (In part three, he doesn't tick anybody off! Except me, of course.)
On to Don Quixote!
Take your best shot at my title quote. It's from a cartoon from within the last five to seven years. And before anybody asks, it is actually related to my new book. Windmills definitely do not work the way Mr. Quixote thinks they do.

Good luck with Don Quixote. It sounds like it would be really funny. I thought we were going to read it in Spanish last year, but, well...
Ha HA! Harris fails again!
This is a good book. He's totally insane, and this, so far, has resulted in him going around beating up anybody that does so much as look at him funny.
Also, it's probably a good thing that you didn't read it with Harris. It's extremely long, longer than even a Harry Potter book.
It's bad enough that we have to have her again. Is it too much to ask that we have a competent Spanish teacher (actually Mrs. Jones was good, but yeah)?
And the quote is from Futurama! Yay! It was that alien guy.
Time for my quote:
"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture."
It is from a horror game.
You insult me, Jake. That's BioShock.
Ha HA! I still have a GOOD foreign language teacher!
You are correct on my quote, by the way, and the guy is Morbo the News Anchor.
May I ask how you knew it was from BioShock? By the way, Andrew Ryan is cool.
Here is a harder quote:
"Kill me now! I will not kneel before you!"
Heath and I played this game a lot.
Wikiquote, Jake. It's a wonderful thing.
That, plus I knew the city in BioShock is called Rapture.
Would your quote be from one of the Halo games? That's all I can think of.
And now, let's see if I can freak a few people out with these quotes.
They are all from the same guy.
1: "Charge into the toothy maw! For now is the time for a glorious hindspanking!"
2: "This day shall be the greatest of days, unless tomorrow is even greater!"
3: "Let us whack mightily upon our enemy as the oaken staff assults an unwary pinata! All for the chocolatey treasures within!"
Jake, it worked. I'm freaked out.
Jacob, not Jake. The other guy is Jake. Unless he's not, who knows?
Those quotes still stand, but here's another one: "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"
Am I Jacob, or Jake, or Jakey, or someboody else entirely!? I DON'T KNOW!!!
I should seriously write for the movies.
Since you cheat, I will cheat.
They are all from Javier. Never played the game.
The other quote is hard...Batman?
And your Halo prediction is dead wrong, it is from Stronghold Crusaders.
Quote for you:
"Why do you keep calling me Bill?"
Also, be sure to check the quote on my page and try to guess its origin.
Also, Jarmen Kell, do not switch between our names interchangeably.
I'm sorry that you only gave it a C...bummer
Sorry that I got you guys confused. What was I thinking? And Jake, "Jarmen Kell", seriously?!?
Yes serially (guess who said that). Also, I had my wisdom teeth removed today...and God the pain is killing me (so much I cannot sleep). I'll be feeling this for a couple days.
Ok, gonna have to clear up a few things about my quotes. I don't look up other people's quotes on Wikiquote. If I don't know where a quote comes from, I'll either throw out a random guess or just come out and say I don't know. I usually only use Wikiquote to make sure I'm quoting my source correctly. That, or if I'm looking up something on Wikipedia, sometimes there is a box saying that there are quotes from the thing I'm looking up on Wikiquote. In short, I DON'T CHEAT AT MY OWN GAME.
Having said that, Jake, you did get both sets of quotes correct. Javier is to Advance Wars what Don Quixote is to Don Quixote. And the Batman quote is courtesy of our favorite psycho clown, the Joker.
"Jarmen Kell?" Seriously, what the *bleep*!?
Oh, and I don't know where your quote comes from, Jake.
Wisdom teeth removal, huh? Yeah brother, I feel your pain. Just remember to do your saltwater rinses, and it'll be all better.
The quote is Al Gore from South Park. And in case anybody cares, the removed post is mine. My computer got stupid and doubled my last post, so I had to delete the copy. Sometimes I hate this site.
The Bill one is from King of the Hill. I do not know if you attempted the one on my page yet. State if you have or haven't. Anyways...
You were right about Al Gore.
Next quote:
"These are my waters! You do not belong here!"
