The government does not have the power to change the dictionary.  –  Justin Pearson

The best parody is very close to the truth; this video (from a dude we’ve seen before) is an excellent example.  The video was provided by Annie Sprinkle, and the links above it by Franklin Harris (“cosplay”), Dave Krueger (“imitation”), Nun Ya (“literal”), and Jesse Walker (everything else).

I think I’ve drawn almost everyone in Hollywood.  –  Mort Drucker

This 1933 cartoon version of The Wizard of Oz only resembles its source material in that it features a little girl, her dog, a tornado, and an animated scarecrow and tin man.  It was provided by Jesse Walker, who also gave us “Heyerdahl”, “Drucker”, and “fireworks”.  The other links above the video were provided by Angela Keaton (“puritans”), Clarissa (“Blackman”), Kevin Wilson (“surprises”), and Brooke Magnanti (“Cthulhu”).

I don’t have any money!  –  Jose Villalobos, to disguised cops

Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even.  –  Kenny Rogers

Country music legend Kenny Rogers died late last week after a long, successful career which started as a doo-wop singer in the late ’50s; this was his most famous song, but he was known for many which told the stories of hard-luck characters (such as “Lucille” and “The Coward of the County”), plus his duets with Dolly Parton.  The links above were provided by Dave Krueger, Brooke Magnanti, Zuri Davis, Mistress Matisse, Phoenix Calida, and Furrygirl, in that order.

All shall love me and despair.  –  Galadriel

Have you ever considered the allegorical meaning of the One Ring?  Because it’s apparently beyond the comprehension of most humans, especially authoritarians, that nobody can be trusted with that kind of power, not even a Galadriel.  And in those moments when I feel myself being tempted by even the concept of power, I rewatch this to remind myself…and to pray that in similar circumstances, I would have the strength to reject it as she did.  The links above the video were provided by Anarras Ansible, Walter Olson, Franklin Harris, Election Babe, Cop Crisis, Robby Soave, and Cop Crisis again, in that order.
