Mr. Burns anitquations

I discovered sound boards the other day online, which are a convenient listing of favorite quotes from a film or show by one or various characters. You click a link and get the audio. Yesterday evening while becoming a host for a deer tick in the woods (and I was afraid of the cougars,) I decided that I really must have access to all of Mr. Burns dated sayings. Alas I couldn't come up with the right Google query to recover a collection of such goodies. I asked a work friend who is a trained linguist and search engine guru. He suggested I find a quote by Mr. Burns and then rummage around the contexts in which it shows up on the web. I quickly came across a great archetype: "Damnation!" That failed me though, as did further furrowing along the same lines. I'll have to try again tomorrow, but it's comforting to know that I will have few peers if I manage to track down a list and learn some old time language.

I often write when I read great writing, and Tom Robbins always puts me in the mood. He also makes me wonder how much his characters inspire people of the world to try to be someone extraordinary. His characters often relish life, and are usually bigger than it. They explore the arcane, question the law, and generally have a pretty good time. Psychedelics and pedophilia aside, there are positive gleanings to be had from the books, and I wonder how many people drop their day job and tramp off the woods, or Istanbul, when a reading and stagnate life circumstances collide. I suppose it's time to formulate another tricky Google gaggle of quoted words and newspeak and look for anecdotes.
