faldage quotes: "We don' need no steenkeeng badges"I finally gave up and googled it, and found this: http://www.insectdissection.com/badges/badges1.wavF, are you saying that there is doubt as to whether this was the original source of this oft used phrase? I've certainly heard the "We don't need no steenkin' [insert name here]" sentiment used (and not just in this forum, by mavarch not to be confused with plutarch), but its roots've always been greek  to me. shoulda figured it was a movie quote.

Humphrey Bogart and his companions in Treasure of the Sierra Madre were accosted by some Mexican banditos claiming to be Federales. He asked them to show him some badges. They repiled:
¡We don' got (or maybe have) no badges!
¡We don' need no badges!
¡We don' have to show you any steenkeeng badges!
Somehow the addition of steenkeeng obviated the double negative (perfectly legal in Spanish) but when quoted the double negative and the steenkeeng always seem to stay together.

the .wav that gymk linked to sounds like a bit from the actual® soundtrack, to me.

Didn't Cheech and Chong riff on this, too? I seem to have some sort of memory of a co-worker that knows all the C&C dialog by heart saying this one.

Did anyone else have trouble going to this url(for the spoken phrase) a second time? When I did, it went into perpetual load and froze. I had to shut down computer with it still on the screen (ouch!) to get rid of it.

Unless you are using a Mac, windows 3.1, or Windows NT, there is an other solution. at once, press contol + Alt + delete. It will open a window, showing all active programs. One, usually the hightlighted one, will be labled "Not Responding" there are three buttons on the window, End Task, Shut Down and Cancel
(Actually, now that i think about it, it might have different choices, since i did it with out a frozen machine.. but in any case, the choices might be wait and End Task but End Task is the one to push.
Select end task. Machine becomes un- frozen. sometimes the url even opens!

Our film society is screening this film on 20 November so I can check the actual quote for you. (As the projectionist, I get the print a few days in advance for preview purposes.)

Thanks, Helen! I never knew that. I've had freezes, plus I've gone to a couple of sites where, to my dismay, their window takes my entire screen, including the bottom bar where my Start button is (which I have managed to move to the side of my screen twice, and I have no idea how).
My computer gets discombobulatated (Hi, Aunt mav!) when I turn it off the same way I turn it on. Why is that, can anyone tell me? Is it just too logical, or something?
