Lots of new references, and finally added the three new quotes Illidan has in TFT. Wouldn't have noticed them if it weren't for El Sabotender and EndlessInfinity. Anyway, a brief edition of You're a Moron, standard e-mail updates, corrections, and we're good to go. Also, since I've had a lot of people ask me about why some lines are not included in the FAQ, I figured I'd define what a "Pissed Quote" is. This is a quote spouted by the unit only after it has been clicked upon multiple times in succession. In other words, under normal play, you'd only hear attack confirmation quotes or those said when the unit is finished training. And since you're likely to hear any of these lines during a standard game, I only list the Pissed Quotes, which you'd otherwise have to go out of your way to hear. Eventually, within a few months when the FAQ just has nothing more to be added to it, I might go about and added the notable confirmation/creation lines. But until then, please don't e-mail me about them. Expect the next update within the next two weeks. Version 2.6 - July 15th, 2003 - Well, I said I'd update next when they gave the Sea Witch a soundset... but then when I finally picked up TFT, I noticed that she didn't have one still. In any case, fully updated the guide with the Pissed Quotes of all the Campaign Heroes and units. Also, for easier reference to those who've just come across the guide, since it should be in the TFT section soon, I've inserted a marker next to all units, heroes, and characters new to the expansion. To find these fastest, use Find (Ctrl+F) to look for *NEW TFT* . This was even added to all quote sets added to this guide during the Beta. Most notable would be the new section given to the Naga race. Did I miss anything? Please, feel free to tell me. Special thanks to Arrlaari who went through the effort of sending me a fairly lengthy list of quotes from TFT units, but I had already prepared this FAQ with my own research by the time I had checked his e-mail. Sorry, but thanks. Went through the usual e-mail updates and I'm preparing for another huge hit when this FAQ is added to the TFT section. Top 10 FAQs List = Headache. Next matter of importance: My inferiority.org e-mail has been down for a while now. But it was only a forwarder in any case. Send any e-mail to me at firstname.lastname@example.com from now on. And finally, inaugurating a new section finally to the guide. After arguing over the title for sometime, I've decided to settle for "You're a Moron". You'll find it in as the first part of the third section of the guide, Contact, Etc. After having to deal with the occasional raging idiot for the last year with this guide, I figured it was finally time to vent a little rage. I'll keep this updated with every new version, unless I just can't find anyone stupid enough to bash. And trust me, I'm hoping I can't. In any case, next update will probably becoming within a week or two, or else I'm going to fall behind like crazy and let my Hotmail box get filled up again... Version 2.5 - April 17th, 2003 - With the 308 build of Beta comes another update. Didn't even think to check for anything new this patch until I noticed "new media for some units" listed among the changes on the Blizz forums. And from what I've gathered this far, they've redone the Faerie Dragon and Pit Lords sound sets and added a set for the Beastmaster. So, aside from the addition of the Beastie and Pit Lord qutoes (Nope, Faerie Dragons still only shriek), added some more sources, notably for the Spirit Walker, which I forgot to add in before sending in the last version of the FAQ. So sorry to those of you who sent in credits for them, but I already had them. You'll still be added to the thanks list at the bottom. And that's that, for now at least. If you happen to notice any other units aside from the three listed above whom have had their sound sets updated as of 308, please inform me of it. Expect the next update by the next major patch, as that seems to be the next time any media updates will come. Version 2.4 - April 8th, 2003 - Back once more for a fairly large update. Tons of new Beta references this time around. And, by the way, yes, the Orc's Tauren Spirit Walker now has his own sound set, and it's certainly worth checking out. Blizzard keeps up its high standards of actually making me laugh at fart jokes. The new Neutral Hero, the Naga Sea Witch, lacks a sound set as of yet, but I'll obviously update once she gets one. Also of note this time around is that I was recently contacted by a person far more credible than anyone else when it comes to the pissed unit quotes. I'll leave this person's identity anonymous, as they requested, but I will be using the nickname "Deepthroat" for them when it comes to creditting source additions or quote corrections. And no, don't bother e-mailing me asking for this person's identity, as I wish to respect their wishes. Next update? Probably when the Sea Witch gets her sound set. Until then, I'm going to make a more direct attempt at getting this guide listed under the Frozen Throne FAQ section. Version 2.3 - March 10th, 2003 - Standard updates, for the most part. Immediately after uploading the last version, I noticed my most obvious fallacy; calling Spellbreakers Spell Stealers. I felt rather idiotic for that, but c'est la vie. Anyway, the update worth noting is the addition of the Pandaren Brewmaster's pissed quotes, in the neutral heroes section. He's not yet available normally as of this FAQ being written, but he can be used in a few custom maps, including an FT Hero Arena. As always, if you sent something in and you do not notice your name listed as the credit for the source, then someone likely beat you to the punch, and your name is instead listed in the Group Thanks at the bottom of the FAQ. Next update will likely come within 2 weeks. See you guys then. Version 2.2 - March 5th, 2003 - Guess who got the beta? Obviously, Blizzard has recognized me as the only person on the 'net willing to waste hours of his life to transcribe the pissed off quotes of their units, and have rewarded me justly. No sir, had nothing to do with blind, dumb, incredibly random lucky. Not at all. In celebration of this event, it's time to update this guide. First up, I had a handful of large e-mail updates to add to the guide. A lot more clarification, and a few mysteries finally solved. Secondly, I've added all of the Frozen Throne units currently available in the beta to their proper sections. This covers the following: Neutral - Dark Ranger Human - Blood Mage, Dragon Hawk, Spell Stealer Night Elf - Warden Orc - Shadow Hunter, Batrider Undead - Crypt Lord Obviously, this is not every unit available in the beta. However, as of yet, the Orc's Spirit Walker has the same pissed sound bite set as the standard Tauren, and also the Obsidian Statue, Black Sphinx, Faerie Dragon, and Mountain Giant only make noises. The Dragon, I should note, sounds much akin to a pair of Zerglings hatching. Only several thousand times more shrill. Quite the nuisance. If I've made any mistakes with the FT quotes, please drop me a line, since I jotted down many of the shorter quotes after only one listening. Anyway, that's that. See you guys next time. Version 2.1 - February 23rd, 2003 - Haha, alright alright, an update. I had one prepared in October actually, after going through nearly 500 pieces of mail, which was then lost when my rebellious computer decided to freeze. After that, I was somewhat discouraged from updating again, despite my Hotmail box (to which all my inferiority.org mail gets sent) being completely backed up. However, in an effort to finish what I've started, I'm picking this FAQ back up again. However, as implied previously, my Hotmail box, for the most part, has flushed out most of my mail, and I accidentally wiped out the entire first page of my box the other day, which has resulted in utter chaos. Anyway, this update isn't so much an ACTUAL update. Aside from a few outstanding typographical errors made, there is no new content here. However, if you've been dissuaded from e-mailing me due to the lack of updates, let this basically be the notice to start sending mail again. However, I've something I intended to say a while ago, when I actually had the multi-hour update prepared. Many people have gone to great lengths to try and attain sources for some of these quotes which are, to say the least, rather silly. Trying to credit an old saying to an Austin Powers movie, for example, is not advised. Use your brain and better judgment when sending something in. Again, I apologize for the ridiculous delay, and sincerely wish to restart this once more, and try to make this FAQ as complete as possible before the expansion pack is released. -Munki Version 2.0 - July 10th, 2002 - Damn, in one day I get about twice as much mail as I'd get in a month for my old FAQ. Anyway, I should point out that a) I'm not a Star Wars fan, and b) I usually overlooked very obvious ones, so I missed out on a large load of those references. Secondly, I checked my mail starting with the oldest letter, so I simply credited the first person with their addition, and anyone who reported the same thing later was added to the Thanks list. Oh, and in the future, try to give me your GameFAQs alias, if any, to credit you with, for simplicity's sake. Sorry for not responding to the great bulk of the letters, but I wanted to try and get this updated as swiftly as possible. Next update, I'll probably add other various unit quotes (ie. not quotes activated by multiple clicking) along with the standard additions. -Munki Version 1.0 - July 8th, 2002 - First version obviously enough. Finished the entire FAQ up in about three hours time. There'll still be a bit of work ahead, but this is really more of a one or two update FAQ anyway. Now back to wasting time on B-Net -MunkiBleedsGreen II.--FOREWORD ____________________ The best way to enjoy Warcraft 3 is to click EVERYTHING many many times. Warcraft vets should be used to the units yelling back at their infernal masters in the skies, but WC3 really takes the concept to the next level. More phrases, more humour, lots of insanity. And so, since I was quite bored this morning, I've decided to compile every "Pissed" quote every intelligible unit says. In other words, the units that just growl were ignored. So, read away, but remember that many of them are infinitely more entertaining when being spoken by the units. The easiest way to get access to the sound files is through World Edit, by the way. I've also provided, just to show off my massive amount of useless knowledge, whatever sources some lines may be lifted from, like a movie or some such. There's a few quotes that are partially unintelligible though, so if you want to help out, wherever you see a <?> throughout the FAQ, try deciphering that line. I haven't placed a few of the sources for quotes either, so if you know any, feel free to report that too. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll be sure to credit you in the Collection. Lastly, a source marked with ~ is an exact quote, while > is either a reference to the source or a modified quote, and ones marked with ? have unknown sources, if any source at all. Why did I bother with this? Because there's nothing good on TV. Without further ado, darkness calls. Over and over again. He abuses speed dial apparently. ______________________________________________________________________ -_-_-_-_-_-_ _____________ |Section 2 \______________________/ Collection \____________________ --Again, if you supplied me with info, but your name isn't listed-- -with the quote, it's in the ending thanks section- I.--CREEP ___________________ Bandit -"What we have here is a failure to communicate." ~Movie: 'Cool Hand Luke'. -"I usually work alone." -"Roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond; call me what you will." ~Music: Metallica's 'Wherever I May Roam' Thanks to A Reys -"I don't want FOP! I'm a Dapper Dan Man, dammit." ~Movie: 'O Brother Where Art Thou', George Clooney's character. -"And this one time, at bandit camp..." >Movie: 'American Pie', Alysson Hannigan's character. ----- *NEW TFT* Blood Elf Peasant ?-Why is this in the Creep section? Because Neutral doesn't sound right and it's sound files are found in the Creep folder. Happy? -"Look, I'm an Engineer. My time is valuable." -"Why don't you bother someone else with your incessant clicking?" -"If it's really THAT urgent, why don't you do it yourself?.' -"It's simple. Just take the hydraulic phase shift emulator and attach it to the trans-dimensional photon emitter. Bam, new tower." -" 'I'll have it up in no time.' is an official term of the United Blood Elf Engineers' Union and should not be taken as a reasonable actual estimation of the actual time it will take to complete a task in any way, shape, or form." -"Hmm... Tower Defense? No, that's a silly idea, it'd never work." >Other: Works as both a reference to the mammoth amounts of TD custom games created for WC3, and as a in-game reference to the hidden Tower Defense mission in the Human Campaign. ----- *NEW TFT* Draenei ?-Why is this in the Creep section? Because I thought that "Campaign Units" would be a stupid section for the Scourge to have. Also, they CAN be found as creeps... >Correct me if I'm wrong, but all Draenei units share these quotes. -"Our blood shall mingle on the battle field." -"I'm too old for this... ugh." -"I remember when the ale was strong and the wenches were fresh." -"I can fight just like a.... *snores*" -"It's cold! And there are wolves after me!" >TV: Famous quote from the ever quotable Grandpa Abe Simpson, of course from 'The Simpsons'. -"Better hurry... before I die." -"Who's that guy with the sickle? Why's he beckoning? Why is my grandfather with him?" ----- Forest Troll -"Say hello to my lil' frien'." ~Movie: Al Pacino's 'Scarface'. ~Other: Tu Cuc notes that this was a line of the Troll Axethrower's in Warcraft II. -"Hassan - CHOP!" ~TV: Line from the Bugs Bunny short "A-Lad-In His Lamp". Thanks to Brian Kern for the spelling correction and the title. -"Oh, just like that, you filthy swine." >Other: Crimson Hellkite has this as a quote of Lothar's to Zul'jin in Warcraft 2, but I can't confirm that. ----- Goblin Sappers -"Are you our daddy?" ~Movie: 'Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood'. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com. -*fart* -Goblin1: "Wasn't me!" -Goblin2: "Wasn't me!" -Goblin3: "...Sorry." -Goblin1: "Where's the mini map?" -Goblin2: "I threw it in the lake!" -Goblin1: "Are you crazy?!" >Movie: Blair Witch Project -Goblin1: "Got a match?" -Goblin2: "Your face, my ass." -"Candygram." ~TV: SNL Chevy Chase skit 'Land Shark' from the earlier years. Thanks to Corkscrew for pointing it out first, and writing up a lovely little summary ^^ ->firstname.lastname@example.com also credits this to Mel Brook' 'Blazing Saddles'. -"Package for Mr. Rizzum...flizzum *mumbles*." ~See above. -"Flowers for Mrs. Cockantoestinder... *mumbles*." ~See above. >Movie: firstname.lastname@example.com says this is approximately one of the names Chevy Chase used in his movie 'Fletch', which coincides with Chase being in the Land Shark sketch. There's some trivia for ya'... ----- Goblin Zeppelin -"AHHH! You scared me." -"They all look like ants from here." -"Mmm, shiny buttons." -"Where's the Equator?" -"You worry about the towers, I'll worry about the mini map." >Movie: Play on Luke's line from 'Star Wars' during the Death Star scene. Thanks to Brain Stew. -"I'm going... to die." ----- Harpy -Three different shrill screams. -"Ohhh... whack me." ----- Ice Troll -"I'm... too cool." -"I shoulda' brought a sweater." -"Chill out." -"Oh we gonna' get along jus' fine." ----- Ogre -Head1: "So angry!" -Head2: "So hungry..." -Head1: "That way!" -Head2: "No, that way!" -Head1: "I'm with stupid." -Head2: "Me too!" -*belch* -Head1: "He did it..." -Head2: "No! He did it!" >Other: Tu Cuc notes this as a quote of the Ogre's from Warcraft 2. -*fart* -*Beavis and Butthead like giggling* ----- Satyr -"I await the Legion's coming." -"The Night Elves shall suffer." -"For Zamfir." ~Other: Reference to an 80's artist by that name who played the pan flute, the traditional instrument of a Satyr. [Deepthroat] -"DON'T TOUCH ME!" -"Ouuuuuch." ----- Wind Serpent -"I shall ride my bird to victory!" -"I don't use my lance a lot." ->Since Flaggle took the time to shiver in pain at this horrible pun as well, figure I should as well. Note the Lancelot pun. Now groan in pain. -"Tell Blizzard I'd make a great action figure!" -"I'm going for an even BIGGER role in the expansion pack!" -"We're currently hovering at a comfortable altitude of 15 feet." ----- II.--DEMON ____________________ Chaos Warlord -"Hey, you want to hear a joke?" -"Sorry, I got nothin'." >TV: Derek K. credits this as a Seinfeld reference. ----- *NEW TFT* Demoness -"Hmm, do you work out?" -"Mmhmm, you're so... deviant." -"Wanna... buy me a drink?" -"Oh, that's naughty!" -"We could talk more in the champagne room." -"Sorry, time's up." ->Every other Demon unit only growls and grumbles. ----- III.--Naga ____________________ //Campaign Characters *NEW TFT* Lady Vashj -"Soon we will reclaim the surface world and take vengeance upon the Night Elves." -"Illidan will show us the path to power!" -"Keep... tripping over this damn tail." -"Damn sea water, I'll never get these coils out of my hair." -"It's far too bright in this surface world and this... *sniffs* fresh air is irritating my eyes." ----- //Units *NEW TFT* Myrmidon -"After 10,000 years, our revenge is at hand." -"I think I just slithered in something..." -"I can't smell, I bit my tongue." >BILL NYE FACTOID #1: SNAKES SENSE SCENTS THROUGH THEIR TONGUES. -"COOBRAAA!!!" ~TV: The battle cry of the Cobra forces from the 80's cartoon GI Joe. And now you know. And knowing's half the battle. -"Ahh... going... into... torpor... *snores*" >BILL NYE FACTOID #2: TORPOR IS THE INACTIVE STATE OF A HIBERNATING ANIMAL. -"OOOOH, it's kind of... cold... in... *snores*" >BILL NYE FACTOID #3: TORPOR IS INDUCED IN SNAKES THROUGH EXPOSURE TO LOW TEMPERATURES. -"My next plan for world domination is... *snores*...*gasp* MY HAIR!" >BILL NYE FACTOID #4: KAY, LOST ME ON THAT ONE. ANY HELP? >Movie: Noah Lombardo mentions that George Clooney's character in 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' gasps "My hair!" everytime he wakes up. Not positive if that's what the Sound Team was shooting for, but worth a mention. ----- *NEW TFT* Royal Guard -"A tide is rising..." -"In the depths, no one can hear you scream. Well, they can, but it's really muffled." >Other: Since I know I'll get e-mail about it, a play on the ever so played saying of "In space, no one can hear you scream.". >Movie: Outlaw01 also notes that the phrase was the tagline of the movie 'Alien'. -"I think I have swimmer's ear!" -"This world will be mine, and I'll start with the swimming pools." -"No sink shall be safe from world domination." -"Ice Tea is part of a two-pronged offensive." -"The day of our invasion shall be known as 'Bidet'." >Thanks to Joseph Szepelak, who first corrected me on this one. A Bidet, of course, is the bathroom fixture which squirts water upwards for uh... cleansing purposes. More popular in Europe and super upper class yuppie homes, I'd imagine. Water Rising Up -> Naga Invasion should be obvious, which is why I must be an idiot to have misheard it. ----- *NEW TFT* Siren -"I'll sing a requiem for the land-walkers." -"Don't be so shallow." -"Did you do that on purpose, or was it a fluke?" >David Jensen points out that I missed another cheesey fish pun. >Other: JC also notes that a Fluke is a water born parasite, which links well with the Siren's own Parasite ability. -"Do you find me a-LURE-ing?" >Bless the Blizzard Sound Staff and their love for cheesey puns. -"My cousin was killed in a swim-by." -"Would you like to feel the ocean spray in your face?" -*SPITS* ----- IV.--NEUTRAL ___________________ *NEW TFT* Dark Ranger -"I hate what I've become." -"The living haunt me." -"Men are from Mars. I'm from the grave." >Literature: Obvious play on the title of the craptacular 'guide' to love, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". -"I went on a job interview the other day and they were like 'Ohhh, what's that smell?', and I'm like, 'Oh, sorry, it's me.' And then they figured I wouldn't be able to fit in with the other employees because they're living and I'm, y'know, dead, so I wouldn't be a team player. But then I said that I could work 24 hours and they were like 'Alright, you can work the graveyard shift!'" ----- *NEW TFT* Pandaren Brewmaster -"Ale is my bear necessity." ~Movie: Although it could just as easily be written off as a bear-pun Da Dinictus convinces me to also list the reference to Baloo's song "Bear Necessities" from the Disney movie "The Jungle Book". -"Last call before closing!" -"Come drown your sorrows." -"This'll put hair all over you!" -"I'd kiss you, but I've got puke breath." >Movie: A line from the Rick Moranis/Dave Thomas film "Strange Brew". [Deepthroat] -"My dad, he was bipolar." -"I can't breed in captivity." ~Other: Da Dinictus decides to clarify this for the uninformed. Simply put, Pandas have been documented to be terribly reluctant to mate when not in the wild (and not even terribly inclined to do so IN the wild). Scientists refuse to give up on the asexual teddy bears though, and have gone as far as showing the pandas videos of other pandas humping to try and give the would-be couples an idea. Not much success with that, surprisingly. -*belch* "Sorry." **The Following Are Classified As Attack Quotes, But Too Good To Pass On -"This will be GRIZZLY!" -"Now YOU'RE endangered." -"I bring PANDAMONIUM!" -"Prepare to get TRASHED!" *Man, does Blizzard love bear and alcohol puns or what? ----- *NEW TFT* Pit Lord -"You know what burns my ass? A flame about this high." -"Eh, I think I have someone stuck in my teeth." -"HEY HEY HEY!" >TV: The catchphrase of the main character from the old Bill Cosby cartoon "Fat Albert". -"I think a certain... finesse is called for here. GUWAAAHRAAGHAGHAGHAGHA!" -*cheesey talk show theme music plays* -Announcer: "Welcome back to 'Jaina In the Morning'." -Jaina: "We're here with Malvindroth, Hunter of Night, and his girlfriend Kim. Now Kim, you think you're here for a makeover, right?" -Kim: "Umm... yeah?" -Jaina: "Mal, why don't you tell us why you're really here." -Malvindroth: "Well, Kim-cake, I love you. But I have something to tell you. Uh... I'm a Demon." -*audience gasps and boos* -Malvindroth: "Actually, more of a Pitlord." -Kim: "What? I don't understand." -Crowd: "HE'S A BUM, THROW HIM OUT!" -Kim: "I thought you said you work for the post office." -Malvindroth: "Well... I moonlight." *Just remember kids, Blizzard always goes the extra mile. Genius work here. ->Thanks to Some Guy for correcting me on mishearing "Jaina", and Shaoron the Wolf for clearing up another typo. ----- *NEW TFT* Beastmaster -"Where I lay my head is home. See that rock? That's my pillow" ~Music: Boerampen points out the Metallica lyric in this quote. Go ahead, just guess where. -"The beasts around me are nothing compared to the beast within." -"I will now summon the Efeet Dwantoar [wtfsp?]." ?> Source Unknown -"I summon the... ACHOO!" _*beast roar* -"Don't have a cow." -*cow moos* -"Oh, dear." -*deer yelps* -"Oops, please, bear with me." -*bear roars* -"Oh rats..." -*rats chatter* V.--HUMAN ___________________ //Campaign Characters Footman Captain -"I should have been a farmer like my father wanted." -"Lousy pay, constant danger." -"Well... at least I get to hobnob with royalty." ----- Jaina Proudmoore -"I'm no warrior." -"All I ever wanted was to study." -"The currents of magic are in upheaval." -"I pray my father is safe." -"Things are starting to get a little weird." ----- *NEW TFT* Lord Garithos ?-Why is this here? Although he is used in the Scourge missions, he first appears in the Human campaign. He's in the Creep folder for sound files anyway. -"These inhuman dogs must be slain." -"The _lesser_ races must be purged from the kingdom." -"The only good Non-Human is a dead Non-Human." >Movie: Curt Rapala notes this as a play on General Ursus's line from 'Beneath the Planet of the Apes'. >Other: Kenny also credits this as a play on the line of the pig's from the novel 'Animal Farm'. -"If you want something done right, leave it to a Human." -"NEVER TRUST AN ELF!" ~Movie: Rune998 was the first to attribute this to the character Gimli from the first 'Lord of the Rings' movie. >Okay, so it's quite clear Garithos is a bit.. racist. Please do not send me e-mail about what common bigoted-phrase each of these is a play on. ----- Muradin Bronzebeard -"My older brother Magni is King of the Dwarves." -"My younger brother Brand is a reknowned explorer." -"If I didn't kick so much ass, I'd feel a tad awkward." -"I'll play your game, you rogue." ~TV: SNL Celebrity Jeopardy Skit with Sean Connery. Corrected this myself :P But thanks to about 20 people who pointed out that I didn't credit this one. -"I'll take 'The Rapists' for 500." ~See above. -"I'm onto you Trebek!" ~See above. -"Heh heh. Come on, you nancy boy!" ~See above. -"You wanna' get the Undead? I'll tell you how to get the Undead. One of their men pulls a knife, your man pulls a gun. They send your man to the hospital, you send their man to the morgue. That's how you get the Undead." >Movie: 'The Untouchables' - Sean Connery's character, of course. ----- Prince Arthas -"It isn't easy being the Prince." -"I will bring honor to my father, and my kingdom." -"Light, guide my path." -"Light, give me strength." -"I should be in command..." -"I know what I'm doing." -"There's no need to bow." ----- *NEW TFT* Prince Kael-thas -"Nothing of my homeland remains... but ash, and sorrow." -"My hunger for magic is clouding my judgment." -"All I feel is hate and rage." -"The Alliance has failed my people." ----- Uther the Lightbringer -"I'm getting too old for this." ~Movie: The 'Lethal Weapon' series. It's practically Danny Glover's catchphrase. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for the reminder. -"As if the Orcs weren't enough." -"My church is the field of battle." -"My strength is the holy light." ----- //Heroes Arch Mage -"Don't you have a strategy?" -"Your prattle begins to annoy me." Thanks to Knightmare for clearing that up. -"You'd best stay clear of me, or I'll turn you into a mindless sheep" -"I don't waste my magic on just anything." ----- *NEW TFT* Blood Mage -"The blood of the High Born is my birth right." -"The ghosts of Quel'thalas cry out for vengeance." -"I find your insolence... disturbing." ~Movie: Garou1982 gets this one in first, crediting it properly as a play on Darth Vader's line from Star Wars Episode IV. -"If you don't master your anger, your anger will master you. I should know." ~Movie: Kulsakidis and Matt Bruce almost simultaneously point out that this is a possible reference to the (in my opinion) god awful Ben Stiller movie "Mystery Men". Wes Studi's character repeats a similar line to Stiller's. -Blood Mage: "Hi, my name is Roy. I'm a Magic-Addict." -Magic-Addicts Anonymous Crowd: "Hi Roy." ~Other: For those unaware, this is basically a parody of how new AA members (Alcoholic's Anonymous) introduce themselves. -"My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood, which can only be repaid with twice as much blood! Or maybe three times as much blood! Like, if you went to hell and it was full of blood, and that blood was on fire, and it was raining blood, then maybe THAT would be enough blood. But, uh... probably not." ----- Mountain King -"Could yeh' put some bonus points in mah' drinkin' skills?" -"Any fish and chip shops about here?" -"I think it's time for a... nippy sweetie." -"What the bloody hell are you playing at?" -"There's nothin' more motivating than fightin' with a bad hangover." -"Where's the pub?" -"LET'S GET PISSED!" ~Movie: Mike Myer's 'So I Married An Axe Murderer'. Thanks to UnSub for that. ----- Paladin -"It's hammer time!" >Music: MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This', of course. -"I want to be your sledgehammer." >Music: 80's track 'Sledgehammer' by Peter Gabriel, not Michael Gabriel as I originally said, who may or may not exist. Thanks to Hoblin for the name edit, also Chris Coffee and Jason for further convincing me that Michael Gabriel does not exist and that I'm clearly an idiot ^^ -"Touch me naught! I am chaste." ~Movie: This one was apparently grazed over by most for a while, however, firstname.lastname@example.com notes that this is a line uttered by Sir Gallahad when he enters the lusty maiden's chapel, a scene from the commonly quoted 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. -"No? Is that your final answer?" ~TV: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, obviously. -"I have bad brethren." ->Thanks to HappyHamster for a spellcheck. -"Is that a sword? LUXURY! Is that a horse? SLOTH! Is that a helmet? VANITY!" >TV: UnSub credits this to a 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' skit, with the crew as coal miners complaining about how having a house (and other necessities, etc.) was LUXURY since in their day, they lived in cardboard boxes. I remember seeing the very same skit but neither of us are sure on this one. ->Brian Kern validates our assumption, and credits the reference to a skit entitled "The Four Yorkshiremen". ----- //Units *NEW TFT* Dragon Hawk !-Note, the Dragon Hawk was originally the "Wind Serpent" unit in Reign of Chaos. This was a unit from the original planning stages of WC3 that inevitably went unused for the release. The Hawk shares two pissed quotes with the Wind Serpent from the original, but the voice is completely different. -"I'll hit the brakes, and he'll fly right by." ~Movie: A line of Tom cruise's in 'Top Gun'. Thanks to Ed Fu for the source and correcting a typo. -"Tell Blizzard I'd make a great action figure!" *One of the original Wind Serpent pissed quotes. New voice. -"That's right Pal..adin., I am dangerous." >Movie: Altered 'Top Gun' Tom Cruise quote.

Drop it! Drop it!" -*dragon roars* >Movie: -Chimera- has this as a reference to the Sean Connery-as-a-God-Damned-Dragon movie 'Dragonheart'.

Thanks to GV for that. ->Josh credits this to 'Catch-22', which I've yet to see >< -"I will now demonstrate the doppler effect." -*echoing* "Doppler..." -"There's, something, on, the wing." ~TV: Twilight Zone Episode, William Shatner's character. ->Brian Kern points out that this episode was reenacted in the 80's Twilight Zone movie, with John Lithgow in Shatner's role. -"I'm on a different PLANE of existence. Get it? PLANE!" ----- Knight -"My favourite colour is blue. NO! YELLOW!" ~Movie: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. -"Victory for Lor" *helmet's face piece falls* -*muffled* "daeron." >Movie: Bo Koch points out this could be a nod to a similar scene in 'Spaceballs'. -"Dost thou speak unto me?" -"By the GODS you're annoying." -"I never say Ni." >Movie: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. -*muffled* "Damn... helmet.

How's that for crafty, a Simpsons reference while crediting a Simpsons source. I'm so awesome. -Thanks to Martin Lee for pointing out a typo here. ----- Priest -"Scalpel. Sponge. Magic wand." -"There is peace and serenity within the light." ~Movie: Vlad Divac credits this to 'Poltergeist'. -"CLEAR!" -*zap* -"Cross over children. Cross over into the light!" ~Movie: Vlad again says this is from 'Poltergeist'. -"I have been chosen by the big metal hand in the sky!" >Movie: Originally I passed it off as a reference to the metal hand icon used by the humans, but A Reys reminded me of the crane machine scene from 'Toy Story'. -"Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, and halitosis.

HAHA!" >Other: Jim Phillips credits this to the slogan which adornes so many bumper stickers, hats, t-shirts, etc. of crazy mountain people. Boba1213 also spotted the phrase on a shirt worn by Richard Kiel's character in the Adam Sandler movie 'Happy Gilmore', and any Richard Kiel reference is always worth noting. -"Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me!" ~Music: The Violent Femmes 'Add It Up'. -"I shot the sheriff, and the deputy, and your wee doggy too!" >Music: 'I Shot The Sheriff', still not sure of the original artist, and it's been reported as either Bob Marley, or Eric Clapton. Thanks to email@example.com and Negs for those though. ->Brian Kern clears things up for us. The song was originally written by Marley in 1973, and brought stateside by Clapton in '74. ->And lastly, Logan agrees with everything Brian just said. -"You'll take meh' blunderbuss when you PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!" >Movie: Possible reference to Edgar's line in 'Men In Black'.

I got magic hands." >Music: A lyric from Heart's 'Magic Man'. Thanks to El Sabotender. -"I never stole any buffs. I got receipts for everything." -"I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecque." -"I stole your precious." >Literature: Reference to the Gollum character from the Lord of the Rings series and overproduced action film super hype movies. -"Yeah, you'll get a nickel for boosting Starfall, but jacking Heal's a ten day stint in county.

What are we saying, is this Diablo?" >Other: Another in-Blizzard reference to their other series, Diablo. -"Bah Weep Granah Weep Ninny-Bong! It's a universal greeting." >Movie: Thanks to El Sabotender and EndlessInfinity for also creditting this as a reference to 'Transformers: The Movie', and to Google for giving me the correct spelling. ----- *NEW TFT* Maeiv -"I watched the barrow prisons for over ten thousand years." -"Yet I'm the one who feels caged." -"I feel hollow inside.

[Deepthroat] -*spoken backwards* "I love green trees." -"YOU WILL PERISH IN FLAMES... *cough* *cough* Ahem, sorry." >Movie: Corkscrew credits this to Rick Moranis in 'Ghostbusters'. -"Darkness called... But I was on the phone, so I missed it. I tried to star-69 Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled 'PICK UP THE PHONE, DARKNESS!', but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls." *Best. Quote. EVER.* ->Amanda pointed out a 'Fifth Element' connection, as Gary Oldman's character gets called by one Mr. Darkness, but I think it's just a general play on words of the generic "Darkness calls" line. Much thanks anyway for reminding me of the movie though <3 ->Nail in the coffin on this one that I forget to put up but was reminded of by Ted C. The character in 'Fifth Element' is Mr. Shadow, not Mr. Darkness. ----- Keeper of the Grove -"My father was mounted over someone's fireplace." -"Feel natural! Nature's way!" -"Don't let the doe hit you on the way out." >Other: Just because explaining everything now is my way of things, this is a play on the phrase 'Don't let the door hit you...'. Thanks to Jason. -"'When I Attack! Part Three'" >TV: A play on 'When Animals Attack!'. -"Free rides, for the ladies." -"Herd up!" ----- Priestess of the Moon -"We always land on our feet." -"My tiger was trained for war!

I recall seeing this sent in from someone else previously, but I simply dismissed it. My apologies, as it has been confirmed. [Deepthroat] -"What we have here is a failure to communicate." ~Movie: Exact quote from "Cool Hand Luke". Also used as a pissed quote from the Bandit creep, without the impression. Lazy Blizzard! -"I hold you in contempt." -"He's no good to me if he's dead." >Movie: Apparently my lack of 'Star Wars' knowledge has led to me missing yet another. Alex Quayle attributes this to to a line of Boba Fett's in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. ->Chris Watson sent this same reference in soon after Alex, however he then disputed his own claim when he said that Boba does not in fact say this exact line. I checked in, and he's half correct. The precise quote is "He's no good to me dead." ----- //Units Archer -"Oooh, I'm all aquiver." -"Pheer my leet skillz." -"Let's move. Five meter spread, no sound." ~Movie: 'Predator', Arnold Schwarzenegger's character. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for that one. ->Brian Gates credits it to 'Aliens'. ->Brian Kern definitesly credits it to 'Predator'. -"I'm more than a ranger. I'm a Night Ranger." >Music: Reference to the hair metal band Night Ranger. -"I'm not just some plucky girl you can string along." ~Movie: 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', so sayeth UnSub, but it's still also some silly bow and arrow humour. -"My release date's been changed!" -"Shot through the heart, and I'm to blame." ~Music: That damned Bon Jovi song. -"I said a BOW string, not a G... Ugh, nevermind." ----- Druid of the Claw (Morphed version only growls) -"Only you can prevent forest fires." >Other: Smokey The Bear, silly. -"I'd rather be hibernating." -"He wasn't Fuzzy, wuzz he?" >Other: You better know Fuzzy Wuzzy, dammit. -"Da Bears." ~TV: SNL Super Fans skit. -"Got any gummy humans?" -"Can't... stop... dancing!" -"Quit clicking on my bear ass." ----- Druid of the Talon (Morphed version only caws) -"This outfit is for the birds." -"I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you." ~Movie: SirStrudalPants points out that this is another line from 'Top Gun'. -"I am the Dark Knight... elf." >Other: Batman of course. Thanks to UnSub. Thanks to Negs for the quote correction. -"ACHOO. Ah don't tell me I'm allergic to feathers." -"I ride on the great wings. I am silent... but deadly." >Other: Silent but deadly, a notoriezed category of flatulence. Tee hee, fart humour. Thanks to Derek K. -"Talon.

Thanks to Macolio for turning me into a completist who must list everything <3 -"How about if I just stand over here?" ----- Dryad -"I'm not the Dryad you're looking for." >Movie: Star Wars quote changed up. -"D'oh!" >Other: Thanks to Adrian Acuff for pointing out the wordplay here. D'oh, Doe. Get it? Good. ~TV: Again, if you don't know this one... ->Oh boy... well seeing as I've received about a dozen e-mail thus far actually asking about this one, for the uninformed, those without televisions, or people living on Mars for the last decade, in a cave, with their eyes shut and fingers in their ears, this is Homer Simpsons trademark interjection, from the animated TV series, "The Simpsons". How's that for crafty, a Simpsons reference while crediting a Simpsons source. I'm so awesome. -"Fear the fearsome fury of the forest fawn!" -"You communicate by clicking on me, I communicate by doing what you say." >Movie: -K- credits this to 'Full Metal Jacket', I'll watch it later to check >< ->Never actually got around to remembering to listen for it, but both I and Brian Kern deny the FMJ allegations. ->And for those of you who continue to tout that this is an FMJ line, take a breeze through the script with IE's Find command. http://www.krug.org/scripts/fullmetal.html Go ahead, just try. -"I'm not in season!" -"I got a few bucks set aside for later..." Thanks to Negs for the correction, but I think I still prefer the pot reference I originally heard >< -"FALL LIKE LEAVES! ... In fall." -"I don't reveal much on the mini map... It's all my fault." -"I'll attract the enemy with my human call." -"I'm so wasted! I'm so wasted!" ----- Huntress -"I can blend." -"Give a hoot.

Thanks to Vlad Divac for that. -"Fly Bubo!" ~Movie: 'Clash of the Titans', Bubo being the mechanical owl's name. Thanks to Lord Loren Soth for that. ->Thanks to Chris Bailey for the correction on the spelling. -"I'm not given to flights of fancy." ----- Hippogryph Rider -"Born to ride." -"Look at the rack on this thing..." -"Who's a little fluffy wuffy?" -*hippo roars* -"The hippogryph is an amazing creature rarely seen outside of the wild.

Let's see what happens when I stick my hand inside..." -*hippo roars and snaps* -"ACK!" >TV: Parodizing Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. Thanks to Negs for persuading me to point out the obvious <3 ----- *NEW TFT* Runner ?-The special campaign unit used early on to deliver Furion a message. -"Don't shoot the messenger." -"When it absolutely, positively, has to be there in one Day/Night cycle." >Breaking the fourth wall is always cute. >Other: Gordon Michael notes this as a play on the Fed/Ex slogan. -"I was running through the Tauren Lands and traffic was horrible. There were horns everywhere." ->Thanks to Agent Pickle, among others, for fixing my foul up. -"When you care enough to send the very best, send someone else." >Other: Agent Pickle notes that this is a play on Hallmark's slogan. -*clock ticking* -"Hmm, a delivery from ACME Industries..." -*BOOM* >Other: A reference to the fabled ACME Industry of Warner Brothers Cartoon lore. Makers of fine explosives and other contraptions of destruction and anti-coyote devices. -*gasping* -*hurls* -"Ugh, I hate these running gags." -*chewing* -"Sorry, I'm out to lunch." ----- *NEW TFT* Spirit of Vengeance ?-This is the unit produced from the Warden's Ultimate. -Spoken Backwards: "Illidan is out there somewhere." ----- VII.--ORC ____________________ //Campaign Characters Cairne Bloodhoof -"Will these troubles never cease?" -"The warchief is burdened." -"My tribe is proud and strong." -"I pray this old body does not fail me." -"The Earth Mother smiles upon us." ----- *NEW TFT* Drek'thar the Far Seer -"I've been concocting a special potion that will aid our warriors in battle." -"We allied with the Humans at the battle of Mount Hy'jal." <sp?> -"Our two races have been at peace ever since." ----- Grom Hellscream -"The Warsong is supreme!" -"Destiny is at hand." -"I can see clearly, now the rain has gone." ~Music: Zhiva Sorrow, among others, credits this to Jimmy Cliff's 'I Can See Clearly Now'. ->Andrew Gray credits the song to Johnny Nash, as do a few others... ->ShadeMagus has the Nash album with the song, apparently, but the number of 'Cliff' responses still outnumbers Nash. Yay for confusion. ->Yay for Brian Kern. This is definitely a Jimmy Cliff song, but it's been quite the cover whore over the years, as it can also be accredited to Johnny Nash, Johnny Mathas, Gladys Knight, and others. ----- *NEW TFT* Nazgrel the Wolf Rider -"I spoke to Thrall about the humans encroaching on our lands." -"I don't trust them at all." ----- *NEW TFT* Rokhan the Shadow Hunter -"I be spear-headin' dat right away." -"Sadly, the name 'Pink Spear Tribe' was already taken." -"I've lost my head! It was about, eh, yea-big. I was keeping it on my spear. If you find it let me know." -"I made a collage out of some of our little native friends. I call it a Pygmy-Up Bouquet." ->Thanks to Nicholas Lubbers for first clearing this quote up. -"What do you mean what kinda' accent is dis? It's a TROLL accent. I swear jamaican' meh crazy." ->In case it wasn't clear, listed it as "jamaican" instead of "jah' makin'" purely to make the wordplay more obvious. Thanks to Greg Harris, among others, for pointing out it being vague. ----- Thrall, Son of Durotan -"My people... are strong." -"I will lead them... to their destiny." -"The spirits will guide me." -"I may have been raised by humans, but I'm no fool." ----- //Heroes Blade Master -"Snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper." ~TV: Line of the Sensei's from the 'Kung Fu' series. -"My blade can cut through armor, and still cut a tomato." >TV: Referring to the Ginsu Knife commercials. I'll credit myself here since this is the first thing I added after I sent in the FAQ, but Derek K.'s addition reminded me so :P -"Twin blade action, for clean close shave every time." >TV: Gillete razor commercials, thanks to email@example.com. -"Waasaaabiii!" >TV: That OTHER idiotic Budweiser commercial. Negs and FC said so, and email@example.com finally convinced me. Just call me stubborn <3 ----- Far Seer -"I see dead people" ~Movie: 'The Sixth Sense'. Also an in-game cheat code. -"Touch your tongue to mine." ~Other: Reference to 'Thumb Wars', a Star Wars parody. Stephen Hall gave me the heads up on this one first. ->email@example.com lists this as a reference to a scene from 'Cruel Intentions' with Sarah Michelle Gellar teaching another girl how to kiss. Which only makes the Far Seer saying it, followed by the wolf's whimper, far more interesting. ->Let's let Brian Kern field this one. "In Cruel Intentions, the closest that they get is this line: `Let's try it again, only this time I'm going to stick my tongue in your mouth. When I do I want you to massage my tongue with yours." --http://www.geocities.com/annete_hargrove/script.htm The clever movie watcher will note that Cruel Intentions was released in 1999, March 5th, while Thumb Wars was released on November 2nd, 1999 at the Tokyo Film Festival. It was then pushed to DVD in 2001. Given that Thumb Wars is a parody of Star Wars and other films, it's quite likely they're parodying Cruel Intentions with `Touch your tongue to mine'. But the line itself is in fact from Thumb Wars. A quote of a parody of a remake of a good movie." And if any of you can demerit that, I'll eat my socks. -"Concentrate and ask again." >Other: Magic 8-Ball Answer. -"Outlook not so good." >See above. -"Reply hazy. Try again." >See above. ----- *NEW TFT* Shadow Hunter -"Keepin' it real up in the field." ~Other: A Howard Stern gag reference. [Deepthroat] -"Call me for your free readin'." ~TV: Everyone remembers Madame Cleo, right? -"The commander is a foo'." >TV: Da Dinictus swears that he recalls Mr. T's 'A-Team' character B.A. Barrachus quipping this line in an episode. And until someone can disprove it, mentioning Mr. T is enough proof for me. >Movie: Andy Groth has this listed as a reference to 'Apocalypse Now' said torwards Marlon Brando's Commander Kurtz. -"You da' baddest soul in town, mon." -"Humans. Dey' tink dey' know everytin'." >Movie: Azadeth points out the similarity between this Hunter line, along with his accent, to a line of Sebastian the Crab from 'The Little Mermaid'. And of course, animated caribbean sea crabs and voodoo witch doctor trolls have everything to do with each other. >Movie: Agumon09876 has this as a line from 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace', uttered by one of the Gungan leaders. ->Thanks to HappyHamster for fixing my flubs on the quote. -"You lack discipline." ~Movie: Exact line from the Schwarzenegger 5 star comedic classic, 'Kindergarten Cop'. Thanks to El Sabotender. -"Stop whining!" ~Movie: Another line from 'Kindergarten Cop'. Once again, El Sabotender is to thank. -"Look at me, I'm happy." ~Movie: Gary Mann notes that this could also be a 'KC' quote, but I couldn't manage to find the script online to double check. Sounds fairly likely though. I'm just curious as to why they chose a rasta witch doctor to emulate Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes from a movie about an undercover kindergarten teacher... ->Simple follow-up here, as Gary Mann has found this to be a quote from another Schwarzenegger classic, "Jingle All the Way". -"Ooooh baby." ----- Tauren Chieftain -"Pass the peace pipe." -"Hey... 'puff, puff, give', that's the rule." >Movie: Chris Tucker's character in 'Friday'. Thanks to FC for that. -"Wooooa, I can see my ancestors." -"Back in the old days, we didn't have plural." Thanks to Daniel Greenberg for the correction. -"Only two things come from Texas, and I've got horns." >Other: 'Only two things come out of Texas, steers and queers.' ->The phrase is also in 'Full Metal Jacket', as Jason Chae notes. ->Ted C. points out that while it was present in FMJ, the line originated in 'An Officer and a Gentleman'. -"Steer clear." ----- //Units Grunt -"Why you poking me again?" >Other: Thanks to Bo Koch for pointing out that this is indeed a follow up to the Grunt's "Stop poking me!" in WC2. -"Why don't you lead an army instead of touching me?" -"Poke poke poke. Is that all you do?" -"Ooh, that was kind of nice." -"Me so horned. Me hurt you long time." >Movie: Play on the prostitute's line in 'Full Metal Jacket'. Much thanks to Chris Hall for the correction, your ears are working fine. -"Me no sound like Yoda... Do I?" -"It not easy being green." >Other: Kermit the Frog's signature song. ----- Head Hunter -"Washu' botha' me for?" -"Leave it to meh', I taka' big weight off his shouldas'." Thanks to Hoblin for the correction. -"'Chu wanna' buy a cigar?" -"Luuucy..." ~TV: I Love Lucy. -"Say hello to my lil' frien'." ~Movie: Al Pacino's 'Scarface'. ----- Kodo Beast -"Here comes the beast again!" >Music: Derek K. has it as a reference to The Eurythmics' 'Here Comes The Rain Again'. >Music... Sorta: Byaggha clears this up by creditting the quote to the song 'Bad Dreams', as performed by the mock British rock group, Bad News. ----- Peon -"Whaaaat?" -"Me busy, leave me alone." -"No time for play!" -"Me not that kind of Orc!" ----- Raider -*wolf barking* -"Down boy!" -"You're annoying my dog..." -"What's that smell? OH BAD DOG!" -*wolf whimpers* -"I'm hungry like the wolf!" >Music: Duran Duran 'Hungry Like the Wolf'. ----- Shaman -"You ever got hit by lightning where the sun don't shine?" -"Back off, pup." -"The sky, is falling." -"Raindrops keep keep falling on my head." ~Music: The song... -_- -"No time for play, we have war to fight." -"Electrifying!" -"Blame it on the rain, buwhahaha." >Music: Milli Vanilli song. ----- *NEW TFT* Spirit Walker -"Death... is not the end." -"We're all spirits in the material world." >Music: Precise refrain from The Police's song "Spirits in the Material World". ~Music: Could also be credited as a play on the lyrics of Madonna's "Material Girl". -"I say ya'll gonna' make me lose my mind, up in here." ~Music: From DMX's song "Party Up". -"My hoof and your ass have an appointment." -"Fear my moo of fury!" -*emfeebled moo* -"Yes, the spirits are talking to me. *fart* Oh yes, they're coming in clearly. *fart* Now they're forming into a gaseous material. *fart* I can actually see them now. *fart* The spirits are very powerful today." >Other: Alex chimes in with this: "The final annoyed quote of the Orc Spirit Walker is a reference to the "Farting Preacher," a kooky televangelist who some geniuses decided to spoof by inserting fart sounds into his sermons at the most opportune times. You can download a few of the brilliant clips here: www.religionisbullshit.com/fpreach.htm" ----- Tauren -"Do not push me, or I will impale you on my horns." -"Da Bulls." ~TV: SNL Super Fans skit. -"Got milk?" ~TV: American Dairy Association's slogan. LightPhoenix noted it first after I decided to start listing the more obvious ones. -"There's a lot at steak here." -"Hey, what are these letters burned on my ass?" -"Ole!" -*glass shatters* -Sorry. ~Other: Haven't you ever heard the "Bull in a China shop" saying? ----- *NEW TFT* Troll Batrider -"What ja' want be burned?" -"Ya, ya, what is it?" -"Hey, shut up! The bat can't hear where it's going." >Other: Thought I had this listed, but, thanks to Adrian Acuff for noting that bat's have poor eyesight and basically "see" where they're going by using high pitched noises and echoes. Warcraft 3 teaches you science!!! -"I can see your house... BURNING!" -*sung to the old batman theme* -"Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana... HAH, me!" -"Meh' balls are burnin'!" -"TELL MY WIFE I..." _*crash* ~TV: While not a guarantee here, Alex Quayle points out that these are the final words of Arnie Pie as his chopper crashes in the "Mr. Plow" episode of 'The Simpsons'. A bit commonplace, but the Blizzard Sound crew references them enough already so I'll stay openminded here. -"The ends justify the means!" *Not a pissed quote, but his kamikaze quote. Worth noting anyway. ~Other: Might as well get this out of the way. Tundra mentions that this concept is a quote from Machiavelli's book "The Prince". ----- Witch Doctor -"Achum bokum." <?> ~Other: Daniel Greenberg has this as one of the sayings of Mumbo the Witch Doctor from Banjo Kazooie. -"Do ya' be feelin' well?" -"I may have sumtin' for ya'." -"We be jammin'!" ~Music: A Bob Marley song. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for that. -"It's a cook book! A cook book!" >TV: Twilight Zone Episode 'To Serve Man'. -"Soylent Grey is made from trolls!" >Movies: 'Soylent Green' reference. -"Fukui-san" -"Yes, go ahead." -"What the Iron Troll is doing right now is putting heads into a pot. They have to boil for twenty minutes, so the eyes can be used in the second dish, an Eye and Raspberry Sorbet!" -"Mmm, sounds good." >TV: Iron Chef parody. Thanks to Matt Leyendecker for the name correction. ----- Wyvern Rider -"Peter! I can fly!" ~Movies: Peter Pan. -"I can see my house!" -"The ONLY way to fly." -"I'm getting a little dizzy..." >Other: Knightmare points out that the Gnomish Flying Machine in WC2 had this line. -"Flash!" -*wyvern roar* -"Ah hah!" >TV: Apparently a reference to the 'Flash Gordon' theme song. Thanks to email@example.com for that. -"Fly the friendly skies." >Other: United Airlines' slogan. Thanks to Corkscrew. -"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's me." >Other: Play on the old Superman line. Thanks to Macolio for turning me into a completist who has to list ones well known like this <3 ----- VIII.--UNDEAD ____________________ //Campaign Characters *NEW TFT* Akama, Draenei Chief -"The Orcs slaughtered my people." -"And their demon magics consumed our world." -"We that are left will reclaim what we can." -"Of life and honour amongst the ashes of our history." -"We follow the Ancient Path." -"I'm too old for this... *sighs*" -"At my age, you see death everywhere. DEATH!" ~TV: Another potable quotable from Grandpa Simpson, of course from the series 'The Simpsons'. -"I can fight just like a.. *snores*" -"TO BATTLE! ... Hold my teeth." ----- Arthas, Death Knight -"I was a fool to trust in the light." -"The Lich King has given me true power." -"I'll be twice the king my father ever was." -"Lordaeron will be reborn." -"Who is this... Darkness anyway?" ----- Kel'Thuzad (Necro and Lich forms have same quotes) -"The Cult of the Damned! ... I need to print more brochures." -"I always wanted to start my own religion... so I did!." >Other: This, and every other quote of Kel'Thuzad's is a tongue in cheek reference to the pseudo-religion Scientology, referenced again in this guide later. Alex Quayle, though, specifically links this line to a quote of the "religion"'s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, former trashy sci-fi novelist turned Jesus. "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." Check out the rest of the Scourge quotes for more. -"I will await my eternal reward." -*grumbles* -"This... horn... thing... on my head is... killing me." -"50,000 gold a year in child care and they call it a cult?!" ----- *NEW TFT* Sylvanas Windrunner -"My will is my own." -"I have my own reasons for seeking vengenace." -"Arthas murdered my people and turned me into this... monstrosity." -"What are we if not slaves to this torment?" ----- Tichondrius -"Dreadlords... do it in the dark." -"I get cranky when I haven't been fed." -"I must feast on souls." -"THE LEGION NEEDS... a better dental plan. These fangs are killing me." -"DARKNESS... needs to get DSL. His line is always busy." ----- *NEW TFT* Varimathras -"I love it when a plan comes together." ~TV: Renfield was the first to attribute this to George Peppard's character "Hannibal" on the 80's tv show 'The A-Team'. -"Sorry, I don't do interviews." >Movie: Thanks to RedRaccoonDog for pointing out the play here. Variamathras is of course, vampiric, making this a reference to the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt flick 'Interview with the Vampire'. -"We're not a cult, so much as a maniacal group of fanatical, blade-wielding zealots." >Other: While also another jab at Scientology, the "blade wielding Zealots" phrase can be taken as a reference to the Protoss Zealots from Blizzard's Starcraft. Thanks to Wiebbe for that. -"I'll take a huge, juicy, bloody bite out of... what were we talking about?" -"I'm always on the winning side." -"Join me, or die." -"Don't worry about the fine print. The soul consumption clause is never exercised." -*screams, stabbing, blood splattering* -"And that concludes our demonstration... any questions?" ----- //Heroes *NEW TFT* Crypt Lord -"The scourge will devour all!" -"The strands of destiny weave only a web of death." -"It was good to be the King." >Movies: Reference to the line "It's good to be the King." from Mel Brooks' "History of the World, Part 1". -"Humans check-in. They don't check-out." >Other: A reference to common catchphrase for bug traps, such as roach motels. Of course, Crypt Lord is in fact a giant beetle, so I suppose this is a bit out of left field. And come to think of it, why is the lord of the Nerubian spider race a beetle anyway? El Sabotender points this one out first. ~Movie: Kenneth Chu credits this to one of the closing scenes in 'Men in Black', and until I have a chance to check, I'll take his word for it. -"And they say Blizzard games don't have bugs!" *Haha what a horrible lie. Farm bug anyone? -*in an english accent, uncommon for a monstrous insect* -"I'm the fifth Beatle." ----- Death Knight -"Has hell frozen over yet?" >Other: Logan likens this to a pun from the "Preacher" comic series. written by Garth Ennis, comparing it to the "Saint of Killers", whose arrival litteraly freezes hell over. It's a bit of a stretch but he gets points for bizzare effort. >Other: Apparent Master of the Obvious, Optimus Prime, goes the low road and makes the obvious connection of it being a play on the spiteful reply of "When hell freezes over." Normally, I wouldn't list it, but I just wanted to deduct points for lack of originality. -"I am the One Horseman of the Apocalypse." -"I hate people. But I love gatherings." ~Movie: Line of Randall's from Kevin Smith's 'Clerks'. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com. -"I'm a Death Knight Rider. Muwahahahahaha." >TV: Knight Rider reference, you know, with the talking car. -"Blucher!" -*horse neighs* ~Movie: Referring to a gag in Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein', where whenever a character said the name of Frau Blucher, a horse would neigh. Thanks to Daniel Greenberg on that, and Agent Pickle for clearing up a typo. -"Don't touch me. I'm evil." >Movie: 'Time Bandits', as firstname.lastname@example.com explains: "This little kid was warning his parents not to touch a piece of Pure Evil, which had broken apart. his line was, 'No, don't touch it! It's evil!' They did, however, and exploded." -Of course, the one Gilliam flick I haven't seen >< ----- Dreadlord -"If I have wings... why am I always walking?" -*phone rings* -"Yes? Agh, for the last time. I'm a DREADlord, not a DRUGlord." >TV: Jason Chae also reminded me of the Geico Auto Insurance commercials. -"This is not a dress, it's the standard Dreadlord uniform." ->Rich Burr passes along a bit of info about this one. The original Dreadlord character image, from Alpha, was basically wearing a "gown" similar to the one the Lich wears. The quote makes little sense accompanying the current image, but is more suited to the old. And for the curious, you can spot the old Dreadlord in this image http://www.infoceptor.com/gallery/war3/gameshots/screenshot20.html ~Movie: A play on an Emilio Estevez line from "The Breakfast Club", in response to Judd Nelson poking fun at his wrestling tights. [Deepthroat] -"Dressed to kill. Bleh!" >Music: After outright refusing to list any of the many deranged or completely idiotic credits sent in by some people, Mattias Sossna finally sends in something listing. 'Dressed to Kill' is an album from the band KISS, which is good enough of a reference to me, and far outweighs in intelligence and relevance any of the claims previously made about the Jackie Chan cartoon. -*phone rings* -"Darkness! Hey, what's up? The Demon Hunter left you a message? No I don't have his number." -"And then, after I overthrow this fool... Oh hello! I didn't know you were there!" -"Imbecile." ----- Lich -"Could you chew that up for me?" -"I'm so poor, I don't even have calcium deposits." -"I am the Ghost of Warcraft Past." >Other: Reference to Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'. Thanks to Flaggle for that. -"I hear the Banshee's a real screamer." -"You should see the skeletons in my closet." -"Imhotep..." >Movie: 'The Mummy'. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for the spelling correction, and Tasadar24 for further correction of an oversight. -"All the ladies dig rigor mortis." -"You are the weakest lich, goodbye." >TV: Catchphrase of the host of 'The Weakest Link'. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for the correction. ----- //Units Abomination -"We come in peace...s." -"Happy entrails." >TV: email@example.com noted that this is a play on the song 'Happy Trails' from the Will Rogers television show. -"You got us in stitches." -"Us dead sexy." >Movie: Referring to Fat Bastard's catchphrase from 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'. Thanks to Stephen Hall. -"Chunk!" ~Movie: Azadeth both pointed out the existence of this quote and properly creditted it as a reference to the memorable scene from "The Goonies" where Sloth and Chunk share a tender moment of getting to know each other. Can't believe I actually MISSED a quote like that for so long. Much thanks again to Azadeth. ----- Acolyte -"This is the hour of the Scourge." -"Death shall cleanse the world." -"All I see is darkness... Oh my hood's down." ->Thanks to Ian Alexander for clearing up a mistake. -"Let blood drown the weak." -"My life for Aiur! ... Uh I mean Ner'Zhul." >Other: Starcraft Protoss reference. -"The living be cursed!" -"Would you like to know the secret to eternal happiness? Page 246." >According to Trellin "That is most likely a play on those Dianetics commercials of that damned Scientology religion by that bloated ass L. Ron Hubbard." And I'll have to agree with this above all, since I do recall those pompous commercials. email@example.com and Jason noted the connection between the Cult of the Damned and Scientology, so I'm further compelled to believe it. By the way, I have a semi-lengthy little hate rant about Scientology on my site <plug>www.inferiority.org</plug>, as well. Now, just for completist sakes... >According to firstname.lastname@example.com "There is a Simpsons book in which on the first page it says to find the secret to the meaning of life turn to page so and so and it says on that page to go to another one eventually you go back to the page you started on and don't find out any secret." >And next, Matt Hylan credits this to 'Bart Simpson's Guide To Life: A Wee Handbook for the Perplexed', which may be the title of the book optimus referred to. To this one's still up in the air. ->And lastly, email@example.com wasn't sure of this and ran a search at google.com. He just noticed a very odd coincidence at this site: http://www.holybible.com/resources/doctrine1/p246.asp Check the question on the bottom. Strange, no? -"Once you head down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny... And you get dental." >Movie: Apparently a play on a 'Star Wars' quote during Luke's training. Thanks to email@example.com once more. ----- Banshee -"Let this torment end!" -"How long must I suffer?" -"U-N-D-E-A-D, find out what it means to me." >Music: Play on 'Respect', by Aretha Franklin. -"There is no Banshee, only Zuul." >Movie: Zuul being the ancient war god from 'Ghostbusters'. ->Thanks to Chris Bailey for the correction on the spelling. -"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! ... Call me." ----- Crypt Fiend -"What a tangled web we weave." >Other: '...when we practice to deceive.' Derek K. reminds me here. -"Spider Sense... tingling." ~Other: Spider-Man reference. -"Last week my top half was on the Discovery Channel." -"And my bottom half was on Animal Planet." -"My ass always gets bloated during my spin cycle." -"I like chicks who are into bandage." Thanks to Negs for the correction but I think we both know the other was a better <3 -"I'm stuck on bandages 'cause bandages are stuck on me." >TV: The Band-Aid commercials, damn well better know them, freak. ----- Ghoul -"Me eat dead people." >Movie: Play on 'The Sixth Sense' catchphrase. -"Me scary." -"Me eat brains." -"No guts, no gory." ----- Necromancer -"Every man lives. Not every man truly dies." >Movie: Play on Mel Gibson's line in 'Braveheart'. Thanks to email@example.com again. -"I love the dead. Frequently." -"I see undead people." >Movie: The THIRD 'Sixth Sense' reference to the same line. -"Do you smell something? Oh, it's just the troops." -"Right click for hot undead action." ----- Shade -"I'm but a shadow of my former self." -"What I do in death echoes in eternity." >Movie: Play on the line "What we do in life echoes in eternity." from 'Gladiator'. Thanks again to A Reys. -"Death is its own reward." >Other: Darklance credits this to a game by the name of Warhammer: Dark Omen, but it's also a play on the phrase 'Life is its own reward.' So enjoy whichever you like. -"I'm having a mid-death crisis." -"I ain't got noooo body." >Music: David Lee Roth's 'Just A Gigolo'. Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for the song. ->Achariyth also points out the nod to a gag in the Mel Brooks movie 'Young Frankenstein'. ->Louie Brennan clears the situation up a bit, crediting the song original to Louis Prima ->Your friend and mine, Brian Kern, bombards me with link after link, going at length to prove, in fact, that this song was written originally in 1931, in a basic form, by Louis Armstrong. Louis Prima would later adapt the song and take it in as his own in 1954. Unless you believe Prima's former band member, Sam Butera, who claims that he was the songwriter. So take that all as you will. -"I'm invisible, gaseous, and deadly." ______________________________________________________________________ -_-_-_-_-_-_ ______ |Section 3 \____________________________________/ Etc. \_____________ I.--YOU'RE A MORON ____________________ 7/24/03 The second entrant into these illustrious halls is... Jason Malashevich <email@example.com> Admiral Genius brings this to us... "The quote from the death knight, "I am the One Horseman of the Apocalypse." actually has to do with the Marvel X-men comic series. The Apocalypse had four mutants called "horsemen" who were his chief liutennants." Okay, so I'm not religious. However, if you're tracing the lineage of "The Four Horseman" to Marvel Comics and not, say, the Bible, you should probably re-think sending me any e-mail. Of course, as we all know, 'The Bible' was printed only months before the first Apocalypse story arc in the X-Men, so I can see how he'd get confused. 7/15/03 And the first inductee to the You're a Moron hall is none other than... "The Night Falcon" <firstname.lastname@example.com> And our new hero drops me this delicious bite of insightful information. "According to your FAQ, the Lich hero said this: -"You should see the skeletons in my closet." Since you have posted info on where phrases come from, I just want to tell you that the phrase was taken from Eminem's song: Cleaning out my Closet. Here's an extract of the song: I got some skeletons in my closet And I don't know if no one knows it Just letting you know." Well thank God for that. Never had I known that Marshall Maters infact invented a phrase dating back to tales hundreds of years old now. Truly, Eminem is a timeless artist. This is the basic equivalent of acrediting for the invention of inhaling oxygen. He's using a cliched phrase, he's not weaving a poetic wane for the eons. And as a special "stfu", the album on which the song appears was released just days before WC3 was. Good to see the Blizzard sound crew burning the midnight oil, slaving into the wee hours of night, and halting the production presses just to make sure that Eminem gets his "mad propz, yo". Look guys, all I need here in this guide is some well thought out references. If a quote seems FAR too obvious as a play or reference to a TERRIBLY well known, common phrase, don't bother. You're either going to just bother me with trivial obviousness, or make yourself out to look like a jackass, like our friend here. Unless the play is TERRIBLY clever, you should usually stick to referencing some types of media, like television, movies, music, literate, or even world events. Thanks a lot. And Night Falcon, congratulations. You're a Moron.

Lancaster – Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis expressed thanks to supporters of the Lancaster Campus and Pickerington Center Thursday while meeting with alumni, donors and community leaders who have given their time, talent and financial support to the campus.
One of the stops during McDavis' visit was Fairfield National Bank (FNB). Many Ohio University Alumni work at the bank, and last year, FNB made a corporate contribution of $75,000 to the Fairfield National Bank Scholarship at Ohio University Lancaster. Many FNB employees and board members also made personal contributions to the campaign, which led to a cumulative gift of more than $100,000.
The Fairfield National Bank Scholarship allows students to meet their college requirements, get the real-world experience they need to get a job and make money at the same time. The gift was one of the largest corporate gifts in OUL history.
The gift supports Ohio University's The Promise Lives Campaign, a $450 million campaign to support scholarships, faculty, the student experience, facilities, and community outreach. So far the Campaign has raised more than $438 million in support of these priorities. The local goal is $3.5 million. The Campaign ends in June 2015. FNB President Steve Wells is the campaign committee chairman for the Lancaster Campus.
"First, I want to thank you, Steve, for your leadership during this campaign. You have done a fantastic job," said McDavis to Wells. "I also want to thank Fairfield National Bank and its employees for the scholarship contribution. We are thrilled that corporations like Fairfield National Bank are supporting our students and helping them to succeed."
The Fairfield National Bank Scholarship is given to full-time, undergraduate students with financial need. Preference is given to students who are pursuing a degree in applied management, finance, accounting or related fields. The scholarship helps to fund the student's college education at Ohio University Lancaster | Pickerington while also granting the students an opportunity for a paid internship at the bank.
"So many people in our community have benefited from attending the Lancaster Campus," said Wells. "The campus is such a valuable community resource and we are proud to support a scholarship which helps people in our community further their education and enrich their lives."
Wells met with McDavis, Ohio University Vice President of Advancement Bryan Benchoff, Lancaster Campus Dean Jim Smith and Lancaster Campus Development Director Mandi Custer during the visit.
"The Lancaster Campus really appreciates the support of Fairfield National Bank, its employees and their president, Steve Wells," said Smith. "This is an example of how corporate support can not only help the Lancaster Campus, but change the future in Fairfield County. A scholarship like this helps students transform their own lives and in turn, use their degree to help and transform their own community."
On the Lancaster Campus, funds are being raised to support scholarships, arts and culture, facilities and future endeavors through planned giving. Ohio University's Lancaster Campus and Pickerington Center are a critical gateway to education and opportunity for students and the community. Fourteen associate's degree programs and nine bachelor's degree majors are offered, along with four master's degree programs at the Pickerington Center. The Lancaster Campus has experienced tremendous progress since its founding in 1956 and continues to provide a high quality university education within a small-college setting at an affordable price. Ohio University regional campuses create the opportunity for students to imagine unlimited possibilities because Ohio University inspires students to transform themselves and their community.
To learn more about The Promise Lives Campaign or to make a donation to the Lancaster Campus and Pickerington Center, contact Mandi Custer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 740-654-6711 ext. 234.

As a child with leukemia, Trevor Coe said he was never sad in the hospital because of the fun the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life brought children. Now he is giving back.
As a child with leukemia, Trevor Coe said he was never sad in the hospital because of the fun the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life brought children. Now he is giving back.
The 18-year-old West Henderson High senior said the only thing he wished he had more of during that time was physical activity. Inspired by his love of martial arts, Coe is partnering with local businesses to bring a fitness village to this year's Relay for Life, which runs from 6 p.m. May 16 to 6 a.m. May 17 at the WNC Agricultural Center, for his senior project.
"I was diagnosed when I was 6, so I knew back then there wasn't a lot to do with fitness," Coe said. "You had a lot with medical treatment and everything, but there wasn't things for kids to do within the hospital (that had anything to do) with fitness."
Coe recalled getting to play video games, air hockey and watch TV, but said he wished he would have had more opportunities to move around.
"For my senior project, I wanted to do something spectacular," Coe said. "I am a cancer survivor, and I wanted something to give back for everything the American Cancer Society and Relay has done for me."
For the past month, Coe has been visiting local businesses related to physical fitness to encourage them to become involved with Relay, whether they want to donate, make a team or set up a table within the fitness village.
"With this fitness village and everything, I really want to inspire kids that there is life after cancer, and one of the main things to have is hope," Coe said. "You're not different from any other kid, you know; live your childhood even though you have a bump in the road, live this childhood because, I mean, I think that is one of the biggest things that really helped me. My parents kept me as a normal kid and they didn't treat me any differently. I had fun and I enjoyed every moment."
Coe said there were quite a few sad moments during his battle with cancer, but overall the goodwill always stands out in his mind.
"I want to inspire cancer survivor kids, or kids dealing with cancer, that a laugh can go so much more than any treatment out there, and that's what I want to do with this Relay for Life," Coe said.
The American Cancer Society's Staff Partner for the Henderson County Relay Erica Palmer said Coe's fitness village is a great way to bring prevention into Relay.
"The American Cancer society is talking a lot now about prevention with nutrition and physical activity, and so we're trying to bringing that mission into Relay a bit more and let folks know how they can help themselves prevent cancer by being physically active," Palmer said. "Basically, Trevor is a leukemia survivor who works at a martial arts studio who is very active himself, and so he really wanted to do something that dealt with cancer patients and survivors and that kind of thing. Also, he wanted to incorporate his love of martial arts, so that was kind of how we together came up with the idea to really bring fitness aspects into Relay the night of the event."
This year's Relay entertainment will include live music from the Joe Lasher Jr. country rock band, a Jazzercise performance, a belly dancer, Asheville Cloggers, a square dance team, the annual Mr. Relay fundraising competition and the Relay Olympic Games through the night, including limbo and musical chairs.
"We've got a (new) event called Little Prince and Little Princess," Entertainment Chair Tina Watson said. "Any child that is under 10 years old right now can start raising money, and the girl and boy who raise the most money up until the night of Relay will be crowned by Miss Asheville Little Prince and Little Princess."
Palmer said she has seen a lot of people come together through their shared bond of being a caregiver, a survivor, someone who has watched a loved one experience cancer, or someone who wants to help make sure that their children don't experience cancer.
In January 2014, Henderson County Relay for Life joined forces with Fletcher Relay for Life to hold one county event, instead of two.
"You have an amazing group of people with a range of talents and a range of experiences that have come together," Palmer said. "Some bringing experiences of different styles of Relays together because they have the same mission, and it is just a really rewarding experience and really fulfilling to be around people who are so focused on making this world better, and making it better for people who unfortunately had to experience cancer either themselves or for a family member."
The Henderson County commissioners and Henderson County City Council have declared May 11–17 as Relay for Life Week, during which local businesses and residents will show their support in the fight against cancer by displaying purple bows.
"One of the great things about Henderson County is that so many of our survivors participate, so you're able to see all of these wonderful folks from age 2 to age 102 who come together and who are excited about celebrating life," Palmer said. "And I think that it is a thing the community as a whole needs in order to heal from the things that they have gone through with this terrible disease, and I think that by doing it together as one whole Henderson County, instead of doing it where there is a split in the county, I think that we're adding to that feeling of unity of 'we are one community coming together for something.'"
Bows are available for a suggested donation of $10 to the American Cancer Society's research, education, advocacy and patient services programs. For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on this year's Relay for Life of Henderson County or how to get involved visit www.relayforlife.org/HendersonNC.

We oppose the change you have made to the process for exempting otherwise prohibited substances (such as synthetics) in food that carries the "organic" or "made with organic" label.
Since 2005, the rule was that exemptions were made for a five-year period, in order to encourage the development of natural and organic alternatives. The exemptions were required by law to expire, or "sunset," unless they were reinstated by a two-thirds "decisive" majority vote of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) and after public review.
This is no longer the case. Now, the burden of identifying exempted materials for removal is on consumers.
Under the new policy, exempt materials are permitted indefinitely unless a two-thirds majority of the NOSB votes to remove an exempted (synthetic) substance from the list. The new policy allows USDA to relist exemptions for synthetic materials without the recommendation of the independent board and outside of public view, as required by current law.
This is wrong. The change places us on a slippery slope towards an anything-goes policy where non-organic and synthetic substances get a free pass!
Please reverse this ruling and protect organic standards. Thank you.

Under pressure from the Organic Trade Association, representing some of the largest players in the organic and natural food segment, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has once again weakened the standards for organic.
Tell the USDA National Organic Program: Save organic standards! Reverse the NOSB's new rule that weakens organic standards.
Without any input from the public, the USDA changed the way the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) decides which non-organic materials are allowed in certified organic. The change all but guarantees that when the NOSB meets every six months, the list of non-organic and synthetic materials allowed in organic will get longer and longer.
The USDA's new rule plays to the cabal of the self-appointed organic elite who want to degrade organic standards and undermine organic integrity.
For consumers, farmers, co-ops and businesses committed to high organic standards, the USDA's latest industry-friendly move is a clarion call to fight back against the corporate-led, government-sanctioned attack on organic standards.
For consumers, this also means that the list of synthetic and non-organic ingredients allowed in organic will just get longer and longer, making reading organic labels and choosing among organic foods more complicated, confusing and time-consuming.
The USDA didn't give the public an opportunity to comment on the change, but that doesn't mean they're immune to public outcry.

I had a post by Dirk Stanley, MD recently pointed out to me where Dirk discusses the challenge of deciding which information an HIE should pass. Dirk is the CMIO at a hospital and also a genuinely nice guy. He frames the answer to the HIE data passing question really well:
And after a rousing discussion, the answer I heard was this :Everyone has a different opinion.
I guess it's entirely understandable… ICU docs, PCPs, surgeons, specialists, hospitalists, and everyone else has a common goal – making the patient healthier – but they have different training and thus they all have different needs. This is why when I hear docs say "I just need the important information!", I smile because ultimately, all of the information in a chart is important – It just depends on your context and clinical needs.
So I'm left with the ultimate Informatics challenge – How can we get the right information to the right person in the right place in the right time in the right way? Especially when everyone has a different opinion on what the right information is?
He then offers this zinger which describes the real core of the problem: "Looking at the current buffet table of documentation, it's no wonder that every doctor has a differrent opinion of what they need. There aren't really any hard standards for clinical documentation."
Dirk then goes on to describe his solution to the problem which essentially revolves around the idea of a new type of note that can be transferred. You can read all the details in his post.
Reading through Dirk's thoughts on the subject I'm reminded of the conversations that surrounded the creation of CCR back in the day. They seem to have taken a very similar approach to what Dirk describes. I wonder what Dirk thinks of the CCR (now basically merged with CCD) standards that are already out there. Do they not cover what he has in mind? Are their gaps in the CCD standard that don't cover his "new note?" Could we just improve the CCD standard to cover those gaps? I'll ping Dirk and hopefully he'll join the conversation.
The real challenge when looking at what data should an HIE pass is that computers aren't very good at understanding context. I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts about this and how we'll solve this problem going forward. My gut feeling is that we need to start with something that will solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. We don't need something that will solve all things for everyone from day one. We can incrementally improve the exchange of data as we go forward.
