This is a list of things I like to hear people say. If you want to get on my good side, one of the things you can do is say something from this list at an appropriate time. It will make me smile (at least on the inside).

But, be warned, if you are not artful at this, you'll annoy me to no end.

• Are you being sinister?
• You use that word a lot. But I do not think it means what you think it means.
• You can only get so far by being a smart-ass.
• Who is a warrior?
• Do you bite your thumb at me?
• Do not stand amazed.
• Evil is bad.
• I completely appreciate it.
• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 fingers!
• For every truth there are half a million lies.
• Who's better than us?
• It's not something you can do just by thinking really, really hard.
• It's in the book. (Or, the book says ...)
• The smart money is on me.
• It's impossible, but I'm going to do it anyway.
• It's beauteous!
• Wunderbar!
• I've seen bigger circuses than this go broke.
• I am Sparticus!

• Nobody likes a whiner.
• I haven't done anything, yet.
• You're playing with fire, scarecrow.
• Again it is the legend!
• These aren't the droids we're looking for.
• Fight fire with fire.
• Shall I be angry now?
• Buh bye.
• What a clever monkey you are!
