I thought that one was, "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou
art crunchy and taste good with ketchup." (spoken to a knight, I don't
remember where I first saw / heard it).

Do not meddle in the affairs of Joe, for thou are flammable and easily
charred.

Bwahahahahaha! :)
Somewhere on the net there HAS to be a canonical list of "Do not meddle in
the affairs of..." quotes. Back when I as a lurker on alt.callahans
2 years ago, there was a WONDERFUL thread that listed DOZENS of parodies
based on the this quote - AND i FORGOT TO SAVE THEM!! Waaaah!!! :(
If anoyone has the list, let me know.
In the meanwhile, I will create a B5 one for you guys:
(This one originally talked about computer programmers)
"Do not meddle in the affairs of Kosh, for he is cryptic and will confuse
you beyond all understanding."
How about: "Do not meddle in the affairs of <your fave B5 character> etc..."
Get creative.
What *I* wanna know is what would be a good one for Joe??? :)

The only ones I seem to be able to find online are:
Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and
will piss on your computer.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Vorlons,
for they are angry and too quickly subtle.

If you ask so politely, how can I resist?
>What *I* wanna know is what would be a good one for Joe??? :)
Well, the generic one is, "do not meddle in the affairs of
writers, for they will base their next villain on you." But given that
Joe seems to dislike clear-cut villains, I guess that doesn't really
apply.
How about, "Do not meddle in the affairs of Joe, for he will
spoil your enjoyment by telling you how it all ends, including the
throw-away bits."

>("Do not meddle in the affalrs of Elana, for she will talk about progressive

Do not meddle in the affairs of Centauri, for they will rise
again and strip-mine your world.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Narns, for they are vigilant
and will cause your past to come back to haunt you.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Earthforce, for... well, the
rest is on a need-to-know basis, and you don't need to know.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Vorlons, for eternity.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Minbari, for they know many
things, and will show you things about yourself best left hidden.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Shadows. Just don't.
Do not meddle in the affairs of politicians, for they will
slash your budget. Besides, that's the press's turf.
Do not meddle in the affair of the Thenta Makur, for you will
know pain, and you will know fear, and then you will die.
(BTW, if anyone out there wants to make up some baseball caps
that say "Thenta Makur, Earth Division" I'll buy one.)
Well, I think that's it for now. If anyone wants to turn any
of these into buttons, t-shirts, .signatures or whatever, go right
ahead.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Londo, for he is being nibbled to death by
cats.

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE RANTING ABOUT????? Don't you know that humans
(read Americans - after all it IS an American staffed, written and
casted (as well as much watched by) series) are the biggest, baddest,
bestest (?) meddlers in the GALAXY??? We meddle in everything. If
there is nothing there, we make something happen that we can meddle
in. It is our God (or whatever deity - fill in the blank) given
right to meddle in the affairs of others. An I'm not even Jewish
(although I've played one on stage).

The pair of quotes I've always heard was:
Go not to the elves for council, for they will say both no and yes.
Go not to the USENET for council, for they will say both no and yes, and
no, and yes, and no, and....
How about, "Go not to JMS for council,
for he will say both "eep!" and "eep eep!"

Really minor spoilers through Long Dark, but I'm not wanting any
complaints...
Do not meddle in the affairs of Psy Corp, for they are already in the
meddling business, and everything will get really confusing.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Soldiers of Darkness, for you have a
bunch of internal organs, and you need them.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Vir Cotto, for he works for Londo, and he
really doesn't need any more problems.
Do not meddle in the affairs of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, for,
well, they have no clout, so go ahead and meddle away.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Green Drazi, for one day they may
actually get a change or two through the rules committee, and that purple
shirt you wear sometimes will make you a target.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dr. Franklin, for he will put you on a
specialized food plan.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Jason Ironheart, for he will rearrange
your atoms with just a thought, and turn you into a duck. ;)
