It all started with me trying to clean up my hard drive, remove some movie files taking up precious space. Then I started watching
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I wrote down one quote that I thought was cool (the one about "I have many leather bound books..") . Then another. And another. After about two hours I decided I'd better just post what I have, then do another post later. I wonder if there's already a Ron Burgundy quotes app on Facebook? The world needs one!
Yes, I realise this has probably all been done before, and I this is all wasted effort and I should've Googled it first... but what can I say? I felt the urge! It was a labour of love. :P

where he would've gotten hold of German pornography."

Brick: I love lamp.
Ron: Do you really love the lamp or are you just saying it because you saw it?
Brick: I love lamp. I love lamp."
You stay classy, Information Superhighway.
