Quote Advent Calendar: Day 25

"It's because of the Christmas spirit."
- S.A.

Story behind quote:
At the Elf screening, this was the get-out-of-jail card to get around any plot hole.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 24

"No, you don't." *spoken in Doncasterish*
- H.W. J.C.

Story behind quote:
The only explanation I have for this quote is that Doncasterish is just so infectious.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 23

"Are they making a film?"
- Man in [insert name of fast food chain]

Story behind quote:
When Sharah, Wicks and Master were at Nine Worlds ('Geekfest'), they went out for lunch at a nearby fast food chain. At one point, most people at the convention were piling in for their lunch as well. Given that everyone was in a costume of some sort, a man turned around and asked Wicks, "are they making a film?" to which Wicks simply replied "No." It seemed like a strange thing to ask as all our costumes were of different genres, so what sort of film would we supposedly be shooting...?

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 22

"If you start getting excited, refrain."
- S.A.

Story behind quote:
Sharah explained to us all that when translating the word 'excited' into French, there is often more than one meaning. So the best thing to do is just to steer away from excitement altogether.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 21

"I only go for my favourite ham."
- A.T.

Story behind quote:
ANT on a certain supermarket chain endorsed by a certain celebrity.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 20

"We like to think that the fat tinsel has been losing weight throughout the year."
- S.A.

Story behind quote:
Every year, the Slickens family like to bring out the 'fat tinsel' (a long-haired tinsel, as opposed to a shorter cut, more sparse tinsel) however this year it was nowhere to be found. This is Sharah's explanation.

Quote Advent Calendar: Day 19

"It's like cancer in audio form."
- A.T.

Story behind quote:
There's just some types of music that ANT can't stand. Master found this description particularly chortle-worthy.
