Do ye Ken, my cully? Yar!
Anyone get really into the Dark Tower series and notice yourselves using phrases and words from the series in conversation?
Nothing like trying to explain a huge landscaping project and you realize you've said "do you kennit (ken)?" about a half a dozen times. Our everytime you make a promise, you follow it up with, "I set my watch and warrant on it."
Anyone else?
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Whenever someone asks me "what do you think?", I usually take a pause and respond with "May I be brutally frank?..."
I say "thankee" and "thankee-sai" a lot
and
"long days and pleasant nights"
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I routinely say "[...], say sorry". I am afraid my students are beginning to use it, too...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe this but yes, I have said "I'd set my watch & warrant on it"
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I also say "Hear me, I beg," but only here or at TDT.net. (At least I think so)

Sometimes, but usually just intentionally when I'm goofing around. I use the lingo online often though.
I have ocassionaly caught myself using ken and kennit. Erin and I used to throw a few back and forth when I was first reading the books.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I do a little "cry your pardon" to people every now and then.
Its actually really easy because I have always tried to use "pardon me" when I didn't catch something
Instead of "what?" or "huh?"
I know its two different things but there you go.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I like to say thankee and thankee sai all of the time (most peeps don't seem to notice)
I also say Do ya kennit? and such quite a bit heheheh

Has anyone ever used cully in an actual conversation?
i've caught myself saying sai or kennit or cry pardon a few times. i've had to try explaining ka to a guy at work because he said i'd mentioned it so often. i didn't know i'd ever said a word about ka to anyone.
I've only used cully twice. And, I used it on purpose almost quoteing it from the book, with a "yar" included. Since I finished re-reading (well 200 pages left in the Dark Tower) and I've started to listen to the series (book on tape, er..MP3), it slips more and more.

A couple of years ago I may have used "say sorry" or "mahfah" in conversation. But nothing recent.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I said Thank-sai to a check out girl ..... ( it just came out ) I must have looked surprised because she gave a weird look....
KIT
Today at work I asked a co-worker to palaver.

No, I tend to not use made up words when conversing with other adults as being perceived as a retard isn't one of my priorities.
(anymore)

It's alright though, Josh is a homie, he won't take it up the ass...although he's quite used to that (rimshot). There I go again.
I'm just kidding -I heart you Zone!
