I started the Quotes without Context thread in the Mission Monitor board and while posting to it, I thought it could also be a great game.
The way it works. The first poster posts a quote. It should be from a famous person or a popular movie/TV/comic book/etc. (nothing obscure) The next poster to correctly guess the source gets to post the next quote.
Starting with the quote I posted today:
"As a small child in England, I had this dream of going to Africa. We didn't have any money and I was a girl, so everyone except my mother laughed at it. When I left school, there was no money for me to go to university, so I went to secretarial college and got a job."

No takers? Hint: this is a quote from a person (as opposed to a movie, tv show, etc.)

Good guess, but wrong. Africa is a major clue. Also this woman is still (as of this post) among the living.

I was going to let it go, but I guess we can try it again:
"That's the same character analysis you got from your last Chinese fortune cookie!"

I remember and that's not it. Think animation.
