Ok, the 27 characters is a rough estimation. Sometimes you can cheat it a bit by grouping the words closer together, but if you do it too much it becomes unreadable by a car driving by. I have Princed out the letters a bit (2= to; 4=for, & = and, ect.) to fit one in or, in the case of "A Naked American stole my balloons" , it is not only grouped tightly and slightly misquoted, but I had to misspell balloons (baloons) as well. But that quote is funny!

Ok, today I did the "We just Melvined Death" quote- thanks to those who submitted it.

BTW, three have submitted "There is no spoon" but I already did that one. It is pretty great; It's short, specific, and quasi-philosophical. Those are good because even if you don't exactly recognize the quote, it is fun to read and intriguing or enigmatic and creates a mystery or mental image.

I have no problem repeating a film, but want to keep away from repeating specific quotes (Heathers has been done to death, BTW). We did that once or twice and a surprisingly large number of people noticed.

Oh, and I didn't site the origin of the quotes in my last response, but I need to know what movies these come from because customers always ask and we need to be able to tell them (if you really want to know the origin of the ones I posted, ask and I will tell you).

Thanks again and keep them coming!
