[For fun] Best quotes

[Whitehart]

Just for fun, what are the best quotes you’ve heard in your Traveller games. My favorite, which I’ve used online occasionally, is:

“That ended about as well as an Aslan/K’kree diplomatic dinner.”

 

[AndrewW]

“That ended about as well as an Aslan/K’kree diplomatic dinner.”

With the K'kree being the main course.

 

[GabrielGABFonseca]

“The K'kree are K'koming to K'kill you...!”

And while perhaps not as 'funny' as the above nor directly Traveller-themed, “It was a whole thing™” became our table's motto.

 

[G'Naakbusters]

“The K'kree are K'koming to K'kill you...!”

K'kould K'kretinous K'karnivores K'kuibble K'korrectness K'koncerning K'kancellation? K'kuite K'komprehensively K'karnivores K'kannot.

This is my moment! Please indulge and forgive me:

• "...and so the android says, 'Well, how do you think the xenomorph got knock-kneed?'"
• "...and the captain looks the android in the eye and says, 'Quick, go get my brown flight suit.'"
• "...and the Vargr pilot looks at me and says 'Yeah, and that runway was a lot wider than I remember it, too."
• "...and that's why you never let an Aslan cut your hair."
• "...and that's why you never let a Hiver near your upgrade port."
• "...and that's why you never trust a hologram to drive your spaceship."
• "...and that's why you never challenge a Virushi to a game of rock-paper-scissors."
• "...so never order groat east of Regina, and that's why I'll never get another tattoo in the Spinward Marches".
• "...and so the doctor says 'Never trust a Venusian shanghorn with your perigosto stick.'"
• "...and so the marine says, 'Either take off your vacc suit or put on your underpants'."
• "...'and the Vargr says 'That's not a groat, and you're not milking!'"

These are the punchlines I've devised for in-campaign jokes. It amused us at the time. Ha.

I will be here all night, people.

I might steal some of these punchlines

Meta: “Let’s play a game. It’s called old-school Traveller character creation. If your character dies, so do you.”

When my players rented an air/raft on Tktk to travel into the outback, one of them said to the rental agent:

"And we'll take the extra insurance because there's no way this thing is coming back in one piece. "

Another fave from the same player. After the heist in Treasure Ship, during Pirates of Drinax, the Harrier was hunted down by a Close Escort from the adventure, which the Harrier destroyed over Asim. The Close Escort crashed, tumbling through the atmosphere, and burning up on reentry.

One player asked, "Shall we go see if we can get some salvage from the wreckage?"

The response from the other player, "That close escort is now a one-trillion-piece jigsaw puzzle."
