Sometimes, even favorite lines have to die:

Awww. :( What a visual line to have to kill.

I really think that line could have new life as a Bulwer-Lytton Contest entry...

Hey, it takes real talent to come up with something like that. I'm sure, in context, it's perfect. Out of context, it's brilliant. As an opening line, with no other context, positively stunning.

That's a BLFC winner, IMO.
