The August-December 2002 rec.arts.drwho Quotefile!
(Guest editor: Benjamin F. Elliott)
"Of course, if you had a quote file, you could look it up in the quote file

- Jason A. Miller (doctor8@jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu> 31st May 1995
August 2002 - "If you need a volunteer to do the Quotefile, I'd be happy to
help out."
December 2002 - "Here's the quotefile."

January 2003 - "Er, Benjamin - what happened to the Quotefile?"
Well, it's a trifle late, but it's ready. Sorry for the delay. Here's hoping
it's worth it guys ...
Welcome everyone to the latest Quote File. The Quote File is basically all
the smartest, wittiest most entertaining stuff coillected off rec.arts.drwho
(though other Doctor Who newsgroups are also eligible if you want to send
something in) filtered by trained primates and presented back to you in a
sort of instant-nostalgia recycling exercise curiously reminiscent of
Readers Digest only more enlightening and actually funny. Essentially, it is
the funniest quotes to appear in the newsgroup as nominated by *you*. To
that end, if you see a quote you think derserves an entry in the Quote File,
just mail Robert at smithrj2@mcmail.cis.mcmaster.ca
(note that the (radwquotefile@geocities.com> addy no longer works)
and include the attributions and the quote in full.
Please don't be shy about nominating stuff directly to Robert via e-mail.
Saying 'quotefile!' in the newsgroup may just be a way to express how funny
you think a post is, but it's also highly likely that, due to the sheer
traffic of stuff round here, it won't find its due receptacle. Even if you
only think it's mildly funny, or if you think that nobody else might get the
joke, Robert (and his humble minions) would much rather have too much to
choose from than too little. I've tried to do my best, but if you spot any
mistakes, inform Robert so they can be corrected when put on the Web page.
Disclaimer: The copyright of all material contained herein remains with the
original poster. No attempt is made to supercede any copyright and the Quote
File maintains its impartiality under Fair Use for purposes of Comment or
Review. The quotefile is updated whenever anyone can be arsed, and past and
present quotefiles can be found at:

It creates a quotefile loop, pulling the whole thread out of normal
usenet and into Q-Space.
The quotefile can then only be reached through a special link known as
a Charged Thread Emboitment (CTE) directed to a negative IP address.
We should be safe though, so long as nobody posts anything about dwarf
star alloy.

This was one of my very fave bits of "Seeing I". The point is that the

the Seventh Doctor would have been unable to outwit DOCTOR7.

Apparently, for many years he has been the victim of a hate campaign

Int. Mothership. Day.
DAVROS is sat at a PC terminal. He has at least one arm. The DOCTOR can be
seen on a right big telly nearby.
DAVROS
...I think I am quite capable of handling the technology.
DOCTOR
I sincerely doubt that.
*(Pause)*
What's it saying?
DAVROS
It's still booting up. Give it a chance.
DOCTOR
Surely it's about time you ditched that crappy machine.
DAVROS
Hah! I will teach you the folly of those words. Just give me a moment. Ah,
here we are. What do I click on?
DOCTOR
"InstallHoOWin95.exe".
DAVROS
I knew that, I knew that! Leave me alone!
*(Long pause)*
DOCTOR
What's up now?
DAVROS
I'm reading the licensing agreement.
DOCTOR
Just click on OK, they're all the same.
DAVROS
All right then.
Cut to:
SCREEN that reads: "Do you want to customise your installation?"
DOCTOR
Just click on "Minimal settings".
DAVROS
Is that what I want?
DOCTOR
You can always change it via "Tools/options" later.
DAVROS
Okey doke.
Cut to:
SCREEN now says "Hand of Omega successfully installed with minimal settings.
Would you like to launch the Hand or read the readme file?" and there are a
couple of tick boxes.
DAVROS
Shall I read this readme file?
DOCTOR
Just launch it, I never read the instructions.
DAVROS
Are you sure?
DOCTOR
It's what Omega always use to do. Not that I was around then, of course...
*(looks shifty)*
DAVROS
OK.
Cut to:
The SCREEN now says: "Hand of Omega launched. Estimated time till extinction
of Dalek race: 4 seconds"
DAVROS
What?!
DAVROS frantically jiggles the mouse about, trying to click on CANCEL but
the mouse pointer is an eggtimer and it doesn't work.
DAVROS
Bugger! Doctor!
DOCTOR
Oh, what is it now? You did tell it to channel the energy towards your time
experiments, didn't you...?
DAVROS
Well, I... wait a minute! You just told me to click on launch!
DOCTOR
Well yes... but you selected "Custom installation", didn't you? So you must
have seen the options to avoid blowing up the system.. Oh and the one about
feedback...
DAVROS
You told me to just do a minimal install! Wait... what feedback?
Cut to:
SCREEN says: "Skaro star system vapourised. Estimated time until your death:
7 seconds."
DAVROS
Doctor! You tricked me!
DAVROS
Well, duh. Goodbye, Davros. Give my regards to Adric.
DAVROS
Aaaargh! Have pity on me!

No! Oh, go on then. Double-click on "Microsoft Escape-Pod Emergency

"And in crime news this evening, police arrested Phil Newton on four felony
counts of assault and battery on a pair of Female straws. The straws were
relaxing in a field at their university around 1PM when Mr. Newton suddenly
started clutching at them. Phil Newton claims that the clutching was
consensual and a traditional metaphor of English literature. Civil rights
advocates claim that such retrogade ideology is responsible for much of the
discrimination against straws today, and that action must be taken to ban
such thought and hate speech. Mr. Newton is being held on $10,000 bail and

Further to that, what about the Zygons? They spent centuries in
Scotland, so they must've absorbed some of the dialect, especially
since they impersonated so many locals. Did we once hear one of them
say "Jings! Crivens! Help ma' Boab!"? No. And, just imagine Broton
composing Scottish Zygon poetry:

The Fourth Doctor, Harry and Sarah Jane are plucked from time by the CIA and
given a most dangerous mission indeed-travel to the planet Earth in the
early 1990's, and stop the Mad Scientist Flavros from completing his most
diabolical experiment yet-mutating a mild mannered computer operator into
the most fiendish brain-cell killing machine the universe has ever scene.
THRILL! to the Doctor agonizing over the moral ramifications of wiping Yads
