(referring to the one-of-a-kind Polish copy of Full Thrust Jon T brought with him) Jon Tuffley: "English and Polish...I'm thinking of doing an American edition."

Mike Hudak: "And Jon's your roommate." Jon Tuffley: "If he looked like her I don't think I'd worry." [Found Me A Sheep] Adrian: "What we need is a nuke to attack Cthulu with." Laserlight (as Honest Abdul): "Ahh, effendi. What value would you put on such an item?" Adrian: "Well, it is pretty valuable." [looks at character sheet] "How about TomB's soul?" Laserlight: [blinks] Lasterlight: "You got it. The nuke is in the mosque..." ..moments later... Adrian: "Poor TomB" Jon Tuffley: "He's not going to need it. He's Canadian." [Found Me A Sheep] Laserlight: "I hate to tell you this, Indy....actually, I'm not going to tell you. Jon can tell you." Jon Tuffley: "You're being groped by a tentacle." (referring to the roller-blading, gun-toting chick representing Indy who was currently ensnared by the green spongebob wannabe) [Found Me A Sheep] All FMA Sheep players, as the Narn Baa Squad, surround Tom Barclay menacingly: "BAA! BAA! BAAAA!" Tomb: Now, I'm not only not associated with this game, but I'm the innocent victim of a drive-by sheeping."
