I was isnpired by the post at Wizards.com and was curious some of the oddball things said in your campaign.

Both from our Sailor Moon game:

"I hug my mother. How much damage do I take?" (My character's mother was temporarily possessed by something-or-other. I knew this, my character didn't.)

"She's at that awkward age. Too old for romantic misadventures, too young for mystic kung-fu powers."
 

In a MERP game, an evil army sacked a town while a great festival was going on. A player's character emerged from a building and saw orcs chasing drunken townspeople down the street. He said, "Well, looks like this party's over."

Well, yesterday (in our Rolemaster Scarred-Lands game) after amazingly killing their first Purple Worm in Rappan Athuk the party members were arguing over who's going to search the various piles of purple worm fecal matter, the party's Rogue refused to do it saying:

"No! [the paladin] can do it, sh*t wont stick to him!".

Sure, its a well recycled line but still...

On the old boards, about a year ago, somebody posted a link to a web page full of GREAT quotes.

One was something along the lines of

[after losing a battle to a group of trolls, who then began marauding the countryside]

"If WE had won that battle, it could be us down there pulling up trees and raping cows!"

Anyone remember what the link was?
 

So funny, we had to take a break!

Our group had been fighting in a battle where the opposition had a ballista. Afterwards our strong male cleric was trying to figure out how we could use the ballista in our next fight, which was going to be in another location.
After much thinking he cries out "I got it! I've figured out how to take it with us and us it!" He turns to the male barbarian and proceeds to explain his plan.
"We can strap it to my back!(he was pretty strong not sure if he could carry it or not), then when we meet the enemy I'll bend over and you start cocking!" The reason he picked the barbarian was that it is very hard to wind up the ballista. It was so funny we killed or selves laughing. The best part was he had no idea what we were laughing about. It dawned on him a few seconds later. It still comes up every now and then (it happened over a year ago)
 

Running Gag:

Original Context

Me (Paladin): I smite it. +8 damage, he's dead.

New Dm: It's been smitten, but it's still alive.

All the Players: Did you just say smitten?



Finality:

Every time I smite something... somebody has to echo in with "smitten." It's unavoidable. One of the party members took my shield to have it engraved with the word... that bastard... and it was a +3!
 

Heard from a 30' hole, where a halfling rogue had recently descended alone:

"Woo hoo! I'm in COM-bat!"

Let's just say a slight level advantage isn't good enough to make up for a fact that it was one halfling (who failed his stealth rolls badly) versus three ogres.
 

Player: "F*ck, dude, your dog just took a sh*t on my foot."

DM: "Yep, he sure did."

Needless to say, that was the end of the game for the night. All focus was lost. It's still brought up to this day, some 9 years later.

God, I miss that dog.

An ancient elven stone of magical property is missing and the PCs are trying to find the thieves and return it.

A dubious NPC is boarding a ship to leave the elven lands for the human lands across the sea. The PCs suspect, but are not 100% sure, that this guy is the one who's got the stone. He carries a sack at his side that radiates magic. The stone could be inside...

They're more than willing to pummel the thief to get the stone back, but are afraid to pummel the wrong person. Confirmation is needed.

The Paladin PC in the group strides bodly up to the NPC as he is boarding the ship and demands he empty his sack and show him the contents. The NPC is outraged and refuses. The Paladin is at a loss for words....he can't convince this guy to open his bag. After repeating his demand often and after the NPC continues to refuse, the Paladin lamely comes up with an alternative. The Paladin knows the stone is roughly the size of an apple. So he thinks that if he's got something in there shaped like an apple, he's gotta be the one....

So he says, "Can I feel your sack?"

Needless to say, we all busted up laughing (including the Paladin). Now, when any PC is at a loss for words when talking to an NPC, no matter what the context of the conversation, the players just say, "....well......can I feel your sack?"
