I thought the line about LucasArts' policy with regard to a character dying
mid-way through the game was the funniest (so far)...

Very mild, cryptic spoilers below.
Not sure... The funniest *sequence* involves a premature rolling of
the credits (those who've seen it will know what I mean).
The big evil-doer-explains-his-plot bit is good too.

"And you're far too nice a zombie pirate for me anyway", Elaine to

(Ok, so I haven't got that far...)

Did anyone catch the Myst reference when GB is talking to the flying Welshman?
Gb: I like mist. I think it's pretty.
FW: Well, sure mist is pretty, but egad is it dull.
I think this is a Myst reference. Maybe I'm just insane.

Paraphrase, when Guybrush is talking to Minnie:
"By the way, what might you be?"
"Floor polisher."

I didn't catch it the two times I've played MI3 so far, but now that
you mention it, it has to be a Myst reference. Of all the common
adjectives used to describe mist, "pretty" isn't one of them. Myst, on
the other hand....

She says the ring will never leave her hand until she has a wedding
band to replace it. Is that subtle enough?

HINT ALERT!!
This should do.
Okay - remember about that chap that she wouldn't mind shagging if it
wasn't for the groom-that-never-was? When you do find him - how will
you re-introduce him to her? Think spring.

Wow, I got it. Thanks! I had a feeling that was going to happen when I
first encountered the skeleton in the bed, but had forgotten about it hours
later after doing everything else.
Now I'm stuck in the Carnival of the damned. I HATE being on one screen and
not being able to leave! Argh!
But I loved the fact that LeChuck gleefully explains the entire plot to you
with no sense of impending urgency. It was hysterical.

One of the funniest lines is from Murray the Skull. After you've messed with
his arm a little, the one you fished out of the water at the beginning of the
game (I won't get too specific--don't want to give away any hints.) you can
show it to him when he's in the swamp. After a couple time he says:
"Get away from me you sick freak!"

One of my favorite (being a software development type) was when Guybrush
was talking to the sun-bather. The guy said something about exploiting
other people and using them to make money and Guybrush replies:
"Oh, so you're the project leader of a game development team?"
It still makes me chuckle... :)

My opinions are probably not those of my employer.

My current favorites came at the beach. Guybrush says:
If I bleached chalk, it would be tanner than you! and
You make snow look tan!
I laughed out loud with those.....

"That's right..."

Murry is funny, but i still groaned/laughed at the
That shot could have come from the grassy knoll!!
Also,
I loved poking that paper voodoo doll with the pin,ember..etc..."Ohhh

Actually it is
"You shot my banjo!"
GT: "You don't know that. The shot could could have come from the grassy
knoll".

What was this line referring to? I missed its significance.

History major, right?

Evil Homer, hopes the youth of today will NEVER be in charge.
Dares to present alternate opinions to yours. Because, face it, you're
wrong.

You're in a U.S. college? <g>
"grassy knoll" refers to the controversy over whether there was
a second gunman in the John F Kennedy (he was a U.S. president....)
assassination. The theory is that the second gunman was on a grassy
hill near the motorcade.
The comment has become pretty much a universal cultural reference
these days. I've heard the reference European plays.

God. I feel so old. It is referring to the theory that Lee Harvey
Oswald, the assassin of John F. Kennedy, wasn't the lone gunman as
there were some witnesses hearing a few gunshots coming from the
grassy knoll (front of the street where JFK was killed). Oswald was
shooting from a tall building at the time. Hope this helps.

Major university? Yes. But I'm majoring in
Star Wars quotes and adventure gaming.
