gothikmaus started this madness, and now I'm blaming her for it. You all should, too. ;PI want to hear you talk!
You see, what I want you to do is:
1) Think of a quote you've particularly liked, and find it
2) Pick up the book/file in question
3) Read it aloud, recording your voice in the meanwhile
4) And then, of course, post it all on lj.
"Whooo-eee," said Crowley. "Where have you been?"
Good Omens, page 335.
(if you haven't read the book but intend to, don't listen to it. It could very likely spoil the fun.)

The complete quote behind lj-cut, because it could spoil the fun for those who haven't read the book. I did the whole page, because.. well, the single line on its own wouldn't have made much sense. But that was one of things that had me almost laughing the most. Oh, yes.
Also, I've still got the cold, so don't expect it to be who knows what. (not that the without-cold-me is that better... but if I have a plausible excuse, I use it. ;P) I could have waited, but I didn't really want to. :D The idea sounded like too much fun. (And it was!)
"Excuse me," said the angel.
The trio looked at him.
"This Great Plan," he said, "this would be the ineffable Plan, would it?"
There was a moment's silence.
"It's the Great Plan," said the Metatron flatly. "You are well aware. There shall be a world lasting six thousand years and it will conclude with-"
"Yes, yes, that's the Great Plan all right," said Aziraphale. He spoke politely and respectfully, but with the air of one who has just asked an unwelcome question at a political meeting and won't go away until he gets an answer. "I was just asking if it's ineffable as well. I just want to be clear on this point."
"It doesn't matter!" snapped the Metatron. "It's the same thing, surely!"
Surely? thought Crowley. They don't actually know. He started to grin like an idiot.
"So you're not one hundred percent clear on this?" said Aziraphale.
"It's not given to us to understand the ineffable Plan," said the Metatron, "but of course the Great Plan-"
"But the Great Plan can only be a tiny part of the overall ineffability," said Crowley. "You can't be certain that what's happening right now isn't exactly right, from an ineffable point of view."
"It izz written!" bellowed Beelzebub.
"But it might be written differently somewhere else," said Crowley.
"Where you can't read it."
"In bigger letters," said Aziraphale.
"Underlined," Crowley added.
"Twice," suggested Aziraphale.
"Perhaps this isn't just a test of the world," said Crowley. "It might be a test of you people, too. Hmm?"
"God does not play games with His loyal servants," said the Metatron, but in a worried tone of voice.
"Whooo-eee," said Crowley. "Where have you been?"

on 2005-10-11 08:48 am (UTC)Look, I was listening to Mars in the bathroom this morning - don't ask :P - and at the track number 4 I couldn't stop smiling/laughing/mouthing it. At the third reaction, I realized I have to learn the lyrics so I can
shoutsing it aloud. :D :D :D(Don't know which one it is... the first one, I think. It has [insert name of the femal protagonist here] on the cover, though. :P)
