Quotes
 
Is it possible to add quotes to the main page because I don't see how you can edit it. Can only WikiSysop and bunni edit that part? Because I'm an admin., I figured I could do that. Anyone know how? :confused:

Looks like Orca has figured it out. I saw him edit it earlier today, using this page:

But yeah, let's get more quotes added.

So how does this work again? Wiki isn't my strongest thing to edit

I added some quotes (really good ones :) ). Some of the ones on now I don't really like though. They should be good quotes in that they are gun related and memerable. The SWAT quote isn't memerable. And the one from Aliens about nuking the site isn't gun related (no one has ever IDed a nuke on IMFDB.)

"Easy to pick up, hard to put down." That's a good qoute relating to guns

Is it in a movie? Because it has to be a movie quote to pertain to both guns and films.

Excalibur 12-20-2008 06:57 AM

Yes it is. It's from the movie Hard Boiled. I forgot which character said it.

I'll look into that.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. The quote should be firearms related and memorable. Lest we just turn into another IMDB trivia site, and not a dedicated site to guns in films.

That's why we shouldn't let everyone know how to access quotes. We wouldn't want some anonymous user adding pointless quotes. Maybe just the serious players like the admins, moderators, and devoted users.

Nah, that's from "The Killer", when Tsang Yeh brings Ah Jong a new shipment of guns to use on his missions, Ah Jong picks up the Beretta 92F and makes the comment.

Both "The Killer" and "Hard Boiled" have LOTS of really awesome quotes related to guns. My all-time favorite is the one from "Hard Boiled" where the chief inspector is talking about Tequila and says, "Give the guy a gun and he thinks he's Superman; give him two and he thinks he's God."

Totally agree with you. Let's ditch 'em. Unfortunately, I haven't quite figured out how the format works just yet.

One of my favorite quotes is from the Simpsons.

Homer: "When I hold a gun I feel just like God does when He holds a gun...."

Gunmaster45 12-22-2008 08:04 PM

Just so you know, I had added that quote from Hard Boiled already.

Here's a one from Snatch.
Turkish: Fuck me, hold tight. What's that?
Tommy: It's me belt, Turkish.
Turkish: No, Tommy. There's a gun in your trousers. What's a gun doing in your trousers?
Tommy: It's for protection.
Turkish: Protection from what? "Zee Germans"? What's to stop it blowing your bollocks off every time you sit down?
