Komiyan. My advice is same as Nero's.

Come to think of it, the Welcome topic seems kinda pointless now. Not a lot of people are introducing themselves there anymore.

Now I really feel like I gotta reread the books again (need to find more insults from Bart :D)...but I'm too lazy.

Ascobal I think...
dunno.

I think that's right.
Got that new computer Dansariki?

PS3 (Christmas), TV, Keyboard.
And a Sofa.
:D

Comfortable?

Amulet of Samarkand, page 259:

"As he blundered about, roaring with discomfort, setting fire to the leaves about him, the little girl squealed and ran. It was good thinking: I did the same.

Only without the squeal. Obviously."

That's one of my favs too. :D

Just randomly felt like resurrecting this topic :)
I loved the part where Bartimaeus and Queezle were talking about their masters, right before the Golem made an appearance.

wrote: Bartimaeus: "Oh the same. Worse if anything. He'd have girl and bottle in the same hand."
Footnote: Manifestly untrue. Despite his crimped shirts and flowing mane (or perhaps because of them) I had seen no evidence as yet that Nathaniel even knew what a girl was. If he'd ever met one, chances are they'd both have run screaming in opposite directions. But in common with most djinn, I generally preferred to exaggerate my master's foibles in conversation.

Only Bartimaeus can get away with making comments like that about Nat. ^_^

lol i like when Bartimaeus says:

"Hey, we've all got problems, chum. I'm overly talkative. You look like a field of buttercups in a suit."

I WAS LOLING AT THIS!!!! :D

Amulet of Samarkand, Page 156

wrote:"Woken up, have you?" the woman said. Her voice was like broken glass in an ice bucket.

Footnote: Unexpectedly sharp. And cold. No one can say I don't work hard describing things for you.

There are countless others, but this is just one funny one I found while flipping through the book.

Tell that stubble-headed pipsqueak that this breaks no ice now buddy! I'm liable to perish doing his shopping!

lol thats ptolemy's gate

Bartimaeus did so much of the insulting, I thought I'd tossed one in of him being insulted:


"A name?" I cried. "I have many names! I am Baritmaeus! I am Sakhr al-Jinni! I am N'gorso the Mighty and the Serpent of Silver Plumes!"

I paused dramatically. The young man looked blank. "Nope. Never heard of you. Now, if you would just--"

"I have spoken with Solomon--"

"Oh, please!" The afrit made a dismissive gesture. "Haven't we all? Let's face it, he got around."

"I have rebuilt the walls of Uruk, Karnak and Prague--"

The young man smirked. "Prague? What, these ones here? The one it took Gladstone fives minutes to break down? Sure you didn't work on Jericho too?"


Hey, has anyone ever left Bartimaeus fumbling before? Patterknife aside, that is.

"Hey, we all have our problems in life. I'm overly talkative, you look like a <some clever insult I can't remember what he said exactly>."

not a quote, but the funniest thing in all the books was when nat summoned barti the first time in GE. :D

i'll post back later when I've found it *shuffles off*.

"What's with those skin-tight pants, anyway? I can see the label on your underpants right through them~".
Awkward -for those who hate yaoi of course. Barti sees London, Barti sees France...
And, obviously... It had to be toilet plungers.
Oh, I love you, Barti.

I loved when Barti and Nat were running around in Prague. :D

"I've said it before, but humans are simply useless when it comes to getting about. The time it took that boy to climb those measly two hundred and fifty-six steps, the sheer number of huffs and puffs and gratuitous pauses for breath he needed, the remarkable colour he went - I've never seen the like."
Then:
"Appalling lack of condition," I commented.
"Yes. They should...knock them all down...and start again."
"I was talking about you."

I love everything Bartimaeus says and does. :wub:
