The Glade 4.0

Ok, I have a minor hobby... I usually put declarative statements (usually an attempt to be humorous ) in idle messages, status updates. I've done it for 15 years now, I started back with MUD's, MUSES and MUSHs. I started saving mine, and I figured I'd share. 99A% of them are not original, most are just a reflection of my mood that day--usually a Song, Line from a TV show, play or movie

I'm wondering how many people actually 'get' the references... Do you? And if so, which?
