Best Line in an FPW Book - The Mad American - 11-17-2010
webby Wrote:Does a line from DRACULAS count? If I remember correctly from the Kindle bonus materials, it was Paul's suggestion to include it...
"That's not a clown. That's just a guy dressed up to look like a clown!"
Yes! That and the flamingo line that I can't recall exactly, "Is that...a flamingo?" but that only works if it is in context, and I think it was credited to Konrath not FPW so maybe it shouldn't count.
But yeah the clown line is one I love.

"The printer was an old high-speed dot matrix that printed each line with a scream like Sam Kinison with hemorrhoids."
From Sibs.

Oh, but it gets better. Obviously I am reading By The Sword right now and this is from the scene where Jack is trapped in Gerrish's apartment:
"Desperate, he tossed off the only Japanese he knew to throw them off balance- maybe.
'Arigato. Konichiwa. Kyu Sakamoto. Gojira. Gamera. Rodan.'"
Gamera was my favorite as a kid! I remember this scene where the little Japanese kid looks to the sky and yells "Look! It's Gamera!"
You have to hear him say it to appreciate it but that had me and my sister in stitches. I still bust that out on her once in a while.

i would have to vote for CONSPIRACIES. Any of Abe's lines as he refers to SESOUP by using different types of soups or whatever. Maybe the Jewish one he uses is the best. i forget exactly, but i remember it being something like fish yoich, or something like that

If you wanna quote Draculas then you have to quote the soon-to-be-legendary, "Fuck you, brain."
That killed me.

Wow. How about all of chapter 4 & 5 on Tuesday in All The Rage?
I mean...come on...
"You know very well who i am. I am Moreau. Dr. Moreau. Dr. Jack Moreau. I created you."
"Lay-deeee! King of the Road to lay-deeee! Listen to Joan Hamburg in another lane!"
"Eat hot flaming air bag, Deputy Dawg!"
