does anyone else use movie sound-bytes for answering machine msg.?
as i mentioned in the other movie-line thread, i used the "...pussy galore/i must be dreaming" clip as my amswer message for awhile. and during the summer after the Borg/Locutus cliffhanger on star trek: tng, i had Picard's 'resistance is futile' speech as my message...
but one of my ALL-TIME favorites was using strother martin from Cool Hand Luke as my outgoing message-

"what we got here is failure to communicate- some men, you just can't reach..."
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

1. I used to have a bit from 2001: A Space Odyssey on my machine
Given my first name, I just couldn't resist . . .


Me: Take a message, please, Hal.

Hal: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

2. When I had a landline
I used the same outgoing message. :)

what we got here is failure to communicate- some men, you just can't reach

I just use the default message on my cell phone.

3. I used Super Milk-Chan, but no one got it...
So my wife made me erase it.

4. We used the "You talkin' to me.."
"... 'cos I'm the only one here...?" bit from Taxi Driver. Excellent
