Well after such a long time it’s time for the next installment of the ever fun and occasionally interesting NAQLAQ! If you are unsure of what exactly NAQLAQ is allow me to point you to the first one. For those of you who don’t click on links the short version is that I give you movie quotes
and you name them and leave a quote of your own.
Not too hard right? OK, GO!
1. Doctor, come quick there’s a problem in the cockpit!
The cockpit? What is it?
Well, it’s the room at the front of the plane where they fly it. But that’s not important right now.
2. Get everyone to Texas, or the parts of Florida that haven’t been flooded. Mexico would be ideal.
3. You’re not speaking the Queen’s English, Keith. You’re speaking Asperonto or some language twins teach each other.
4. Where’s he going?
Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go. . . oh man, I hate being right all the time.
5. Permission to have an opinion on the matter, sir?
Go ahead Jackson.
Well sir, it seem to me that this mission is a serious mis-allocation of valueable military resources.
Pay attention Ryvan, this is how you grumble.
6. This is not an occult science. This is not one of those crazy systems of divination and astrology. That stuff’s hooey, and you’ve got to have a screw loose to go in for that sort of thing. Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store.
7. I do nothing but work and work to preserve this family and what do I get for it?
A false sense of superiority?
Yeah, that is nice.
8. At ease, Ensign, before you sprain something
9. You must talk to him; tell him that he is a good cat, and a pretty cat, and. . .
I will feed him
10. You shot him! You killed the invisible swordsman!
How was I supposed to know where he was?
You were supposed to fire up, we both fired up! It’s like living with a six year old.
There you go. There are some pretty obscure ones this time around so put your remembering caps on!

I will give everyone a chance before I LIST ALL OF THESE and blow them out of the water.
I do enjoy your posts. I like the pretty cat one,….
growl….I will feed him

2 is Day After Tomorrow
9 is First Contact
10 is Three Amigos
And I don’t think it’s fair that the wife, who lives with and watches all the same movies as the author, gets to play. (Basically I lose and I’m bitter about it.)

All I know is #8: Cap’n Janeway to Harry Kim in the pilot for Voyager. I wish I was cool and knew more of these!
susantuma // November 20, 2007 at 3:21 am
1: Airplane
6: A Mighty Wind
And I TOTALLY know where #4 is from, but I can’t think of it right now. Agh!
susantuma // November 20, 2007 at 3:21 am
Um… and this is Refe.
Tracie Loux // November 20, 2007 at 9:18 am
I quit, immediately!
I have ZERO ability to retain movie lines, let alone place them in the appropriate movie!
Nick on the other hand has amazing movie line retention.

Megs. Nicely done
Jenn- That was a pretty obscure one I didn’t think anyone was going to get it.
Refe (if that IS your real name) also nicely done. There is a pretty significant event that happens during the “. . .” if knowing that helps.
Jennifer James // November 23, 2007 at 2:55 pm
hahahaah! I love that she got the Star Trek Quote.
And Meggers- I am not officiallly playing, because though I know the movies, I can never remember which one it is.
Hints though!
9: also star trek. Now who on a space ship owned a cat? ps. cat had best name ever.
6. This one is a mock-u-mentary about folk singers.
7. My favorite tv show ever. It’s canceled now.
Also, I want to know what 10 is!
Jenn S. (a.k.a. Ducky) // November 23, 2007 at 11:51 pm
I am a recovering Trekkie … what can I say. And thanks to Jennifer’s hint, I figured out that #9 is that one episode of TNG with Data and his cat Spot. Don’t know what it’s called.
Jennifer James // November 24, 2007 at 12:15 pm
You dont’ have to know the episode title. We aren’t cruel!
Recovering Trekkie you say? Recovering from what?! P.S. Wesley Crusher was on Numb3rs last night, awesome episode.
Jenn S. (a.k.a. Ducky) // November 24, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Recovering from thinking Trek was the bestest SF TV show ever and nothing could ever be as good. Which, Trek is good, but my horizons have been widened by the irreverence of Stargate and then the pure awesomeness of Firefly.
(I will confess to watching a season of Andromeda. It was horrible beyond words.)
Jennifer James // November 26, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Do you like Battlestar Galactica?
Andromeda was atrocious. Not even hardcore wearing vulcan ears in public fans liked that one.
Jenn S. (a.k.a. Ducky) // November 26, 2007 at 4:16 pm
I think I need to get into Battlestar Galactica. But I don’t have cable or anything; my TV only gets three channels. Perhaps I will persuade my friend who has satellite to TiVo old episodes for me. (I am too poor to do the Netflix thing.)
P.S. I think we do need to meet sometime.
Jennifer James // November 26, 2007 at 4:19 pm
You should come over for dinner?
You can rent BSG at Blockbuster, 4 episode discs at a time. Four hours of tv for about a buck an episode. Cheaper than cable, and an awesome show.
Jenn S. (a.k.a. Ducky) // November 26, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Thanks for the invitation! That’s pretty awesome of you.
Dinner is generally not a good time for me, since I have prayer room or martial arts most evenings, but I’m occasionally free on weekends. Coffee works too (although I don’t actually drink coffee … but you know what I mean).
P.S. I love how we have totally hijacked this thread.
