Heh, reminds me of the time I cast polymorph on something and didn't even get to move again before I died. It went something like this:

You cast Polymorph on the monster.
It turns into a Chaos Vortex!
The Chaos Vortex breathes chaos at you.
You feel your life draining away.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You feel reality warping around you. (several monsters appear)
You feel weaker than you used to be.
You feel clumsier than you used to be.
You feel more sickly than you used to be.
You feel dumber than you used to be.
You feel less wise than you used to be.
You feel less charismatic than you used to be.
The Chaos Vortex breathes chaos at you.
You feel your life draining away.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.

You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost a level.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You have lost knowledge of <insert spell name here>.
You feel reality warping around you. (more monsters appear)
The <insert monster here> changes!
The <insert monster here> changes!
The <insert monster here> changes!
The <insert monster here> changes!
The <insert monster here> changes!

And so on, finally culminating with one of the summoned polymorphed monsters finishing my (now level 1) character with one blow. When I cast the initial polymorph that set it all off, I was somewhere around level 20-30, and at full health. Needless to say, I did not experiment with Polymorph again for a very long time, and I was extremely careful about it when I finally encountered a chaos vortex as a normal spawn for the first time.

'Dear friend, Today I memorized explosive runes!' - D&D joke. Not exactly a quote, but probably has been used in more than one game.

And my sig from another forum: ' 'I ready the picnic lunch! I ready the picnic lunch the dark forces of sauron made us...' - Dork Tower #1013'

Hehe. Wonder how many quotes involve nukes.

Wash: River is a psychic? That's a little too science fiction for me.
Zoë: You live on a space ship, hun.

Wash: Oh, my God. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing? Oh, right, that would be me. Back to work.

Mal: You've only got to scare him.
Jayne: Pain is scary.

River: Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Commander Harken: Seems odd you'd name your ship after a battle you were on the wrong side of.
Mal: May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems.

River: My food is problematic.

Jayne: What'd y'all order a dead guy for?

River: If the snow on the roof is too heavy, you see, the ceiling will cave in. His brains are in terrible danger.
Book: River, please, why don't you come on out?
River: No! Can't. Too much hair.

Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Book: If you take sexual advantage of that girl, you're going to burn in a very special level of Hell, a level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

All of course from Firefly. I think there's also a very special level of Hell reserved for the git who cancelled this show.
