I will never quote Zevon's Werewolves of London around Billy or Georgia, again.

If anyone asks me if I'm hungry, I will not intone, 'The red wizard needs food badly.'

OMG--Gauntlet!!!

Singing "The Lusty Month of May" will not endear me to Lily.
--or Fix.
--and especially NOT Titania.

The Mothers do not need new knitting needles.
--or yarn.
--nor do they work-for-hire.

I will not write up my last romantic encounter with Susan for Hustler.
--not even to see if it gets a reaction from Mr. Bland.

I will not refer to Susan's partner as "Jack's complete lack of surprise."

I will not suggest that the first rule of the White Council is that you do NOT talk about the White Council.
--ditto the Black Council, vampires, the Fae, etc.

I will not suggest Molly investigate whether her veil stops UV rays by wearing a Fan4 Invisible Girl bikini.

I will not suggest I fought at the battle of Jericho Hill.
--nor will I hunt for Randall Flagg, the Crimson King, or anyone named "Walter".

I will never again run around naked except for my wardens cloak and pretend I am invisible.
-- especially where Murphy can see me.
--or in front of those construction guys near Housted.

I will not brag that my staff gets 53.8 DPS and gives a +57 intellect bonus

Nor will a comment on my Epic Robes.

One does not simply "parkour".  One shouts it aloud as one performs the act!  PARKOUR!

My Bathrobe does not Qualify as Epic robes, no matter how unique they are at council meeting. 
Nor will I claim they are "of the Magi" in any way


I will not sit on the porch whittling a new Blasting rod when Carlos comes to pick up Molly for their first date

Oh yes I will.  Michael needs backup, and he'd be too nice anyway.

When taking a #2 on someone else's toilet and they complain about Harry taking so long, he is not allowed to comment back with the phrase, "And this too shall pass"

a. Unless it really IS about to pass...
b. Unless I want to be hand-delivered to Mab by pun-wearied former friends, who have trussed me up like a suckling pig with an apple in my mouth and bound my limbs tighter than Morgan's attitude.

Too subtle for Harry. He'd be more along the lines of: "Hey, 'Los. You see that pretty girl there, the one you're about to take out? She's the daughter of my best friend, the apple of his eye, and that means if you even THINK about touching her, or kissing, or anything like that, I got no problem getting the Doom of Damocles again. Capisce?"

Two Issues with that, Bill

First He is under the Doom NOW and,
He is not really the kind of guy to use New Pop culture lines.

Yeah, he wouldn't recognize a pop culture reference if one skittered up and implanted an embryo in his esophagus.

Psst - I first heard a variant on that one about 30 years ago...

Given where I am thinking the reference is coming from (The Godfather, if I am not mistaken) I would hardly call that a "new" pop culture line.  :)

We already have a Richard, so that's why you're Bill.

Also, my daddy says I'm a princess.
