OK, time to try something a little (very little) different.
Rules:
1) You have to supply a quote. 2) This quote must have at least one word in common, or a common source. Words such as "the" and "and" and "I" are not acceptable. 3) Quotes must be at least two words long. 4) Quotes must come from an identifyable, confirmable source.
*modified*
5) If the source for your quote is someone you know, or is anonymous, you must provide a link to another page with the quote on it. 6) You can under no circumstances quote yourself.
Enjoy, everyone.

Omega, this is really a great idea. One proposed amendment, though: what if the quote from the person you know is itself identifiable & confirmable by way of being posted on a website?

Well, otherwise, you could just say something, and say, "That's a quote; from ME!"
I thought about that, Shik, though it might make things a little too restrictive. Some people probably wouldn't play if they had to to actual work in the process.

My bad habit of reading too quickly has once again bitten me on the rear. I misunderstood your suggestion. Rules have been appended.

Thanks, Omega. I know that at some point I'll probably want to quote Rykja or Burke.
