Arrgh, beat me to the punch, you!

I have frequently used this quote when referring to other topics "You can have my (Insert topic here) when you pry it from my cold dead hands!" The most recent use was over getting upgraded from XP to Vista

Well, you can have your vista, I'll keep my XP.

XP was what they had to pry from my cold dead hands. Vista is more of a virus than an operating system.

The actor playing Heston's son in Midway died last year (Edward Albert I think he was called).

Eddie Albert was in charge of a landing craft in the Pacific. I forget which battle he was interviewed about - IIRC either Tarawa or Kwajalein - but he gave a very memorable account of what he witnessed the Marines going through that day.
