Ok so Reading all the games everyone participates in, and me basicly sticking to them with the exception of a few other common posts, I decided to make one.

So basicly you write a quote and get the next person to guess where the origin is from and then they post thier quote. in the end we might have more inspiring things to say among friends, or just some new halarius catch fraze you and friends will say till the next comes up.

I will start

oh and please keep all the quote talk and leasure randomossity that steams from the very pores of this forum to an appropriate level.... not that we havn't broken so many social boundries already lol
