Picard: "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew her, Data: a Borg Queen of infinite assimilation, of most excellent futility of resistance: she hath borne me on her back a thousand times..."
Data: "Erm... Yes, sir..." *walks away slowly*

At least, I THINK that's what DeadCujo was talking about... =]

"And lastly, good news: the QuoComs will return. . ." - yours truly, March 12th.
I found this picture, and I scanned it. It's not a very good scanner. I was going to use this as a CapCom, but then I got to thinking. "What if," I asked myself, "this was used as the basis for something like that disastrous QuoCom idea of Adam's? What are YOU looking at?" (this last addressed to someone on the train who was staring at me for talking to myself).
"Furthermore," I continued, ignoring the urgent whispers that same staring person was directing to the conductor, "rather than have someone come up with the obvious 'Alas poor Yorick' line, I use that as the jumping point for people to complete this famous quotation?"
So that's what I did, and that's the thread you're reading. If I'd thought the person who'd long ago conceived of this failed competition would then get all territorial over it, I'd never have bothered. I posted this competition, I judge it. End of story. Maybe I'm wrong. Please let me know, all of you, if you think so. Now, unless anyone really objects, can we get on with havning fun?
"Alas, poor Yorick. . . gone, and never called me mother!"

Before this develops into a massive spat over who has the right to judge this, I'm going by the word from on high - "who posts it, judges it" - and terminating this thread. No-one's posted to it for 3 days, I think it's dead (the competition, not Yorick). . . 8)
The winner is . Runners-up are The Shadow and Xentrick.
Picard: "Alas, poor Yorick..." Lee: "Er, the contest is over." Picard: "Oh, good." *tosses Yorick into a junk pile*
