This is my first post here and I figured this was as good as any a post to reply to. After reading your post, the thought occurred to me that I could make such a site. If there really is interest in such an endeavor, it could be done.

Right now there isn't anything there. It would be wonderful to have it there as a reference tool.

Possible to expand it to cool phrases as well? There are so many . . .

It would take a while to compile it, but it's certainly something that could be done. As for actually doing it, what I'd ultimately like to do is create a database for it with all sorts of information about each quote (such as who said it, to whom they said it, when, etc.), maybe a quote rating system, make it searchable, etc. When I do things, I tend to overdo them, so all that may not be needed, but that's my vision, anyway. As for putting it here on fireflyfans.net, I think the easiest way to do such a project may be to run it at its own site and link to it from here if it ends up being a good resource.

Cool phrases? Yes. Dictionary? Sure. Any quote that's funny or good in any way? Heck yeah. I see this as a giant database. Something to ponder, anyway.

I love your plan. Go for it, I say. It will inspire me to finish my wee project.

Here are the two places I've used to access quotes for my guerrilla marketing efforts (it's cool that they're already typeset and attributed--but keep an eye for errors on imdb):

I think I'm probably going to do my own research for the database. That will take a huge bit of time right there, but it will be worth it. Then comes the matter of designing the database, populating it, and coding the site. This could take a while :)
