All right...
I'm starting this thread for us because I find it amusing, and it might provide some sort of either a) entertainment value, or b) inspiration in the middle of November when we're all sweating for words. I got this idea the night of the planning party and just have been too incredibly lazy to put it up.
Since no one beat me to it (not that I figured they would), I'm going to start it now. This is the thread for you to post your best NaNo One Liners, which can be anything from your crappy villain's hilarious one liner to that thing someone said at the last write-in that had you in tears because you were laughing so hard. (Even if it was only because you were exhausted and half-hysterical from a much-needed word count boost.)
I'll start us off with a one liner from the planning party that had us all cracking up...
"Last year, I gave this guy AIDS."
(Granted, when you take it out of context, it's hilarious. Ask me if you want to know the story or check it out with one of the MLs.)
Feel free to add any one liners you think will help us all get through the November days of word count frenzy!

This is a snippet from the story I was working on last year. It's my main character musing to himself about the risks involved in his line of work, and it always makes me chuckle a bit.
"It turned out that transport work payed very well if you weren't particularly picky about who you work for. It also helped not to be nosy. Being excessively nosy in this business can result in you eating all of your meals through a straw, and nobody wants to be that loser."

Okay, I'm going to add to this because I nearly cracked up tonight at the kick off party.
To set the scene (and I apologize for not remember names!), I sat at the table with a group where one person began mixing random things in her glass. This included: the remnants of Sprite, water, creamer packets, sugar, syrup, ketchup, salt, pepper and a number of other random items. She was, in fact, drinking this magnificent concoction... without making too many disgusted faces!
One of our members sat across from her, staring and telling her how awful it was for her to drink whatever you want to call the drink...
She distinctly told our drinker, "Dude, every time you drink that, puppies are skinned alive by mermaids."
(On a random side note, our little group at the table decided that was something we all needed to find a way to include in our NaNovels... jokingly speaking, of course.)
So there you have it... another one liner with the story to go with it. It might be one of those "you had to be there" moments, but we were all cracking up. *shrugs* Just thought I'd share... perhaps this should be the funny stories thread as well.

"Stop," lighting muttered rolling over so he was facing Demetrius.
"Stop what?" He asked.
"Stop thinking so loud, it's causing me not to be able to sleep."
"I'm sorry, but I think your inability to sleep is more a mental one."
"Too many big words. My brain just blew up."
"I doubt that," Demetrius scoffed twirling his long red hair between his index finger.
