Go for the eyes, Boo!

If you've ever played Baldur's Gate, you'll probably recognize this as the finest quote since "ass monkeys". This big brain-damaged guy with a massive sword and an imaginary hamster always screams, "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes! AaauuuuughhhH!!!!".

Okay, now that I've said it, I realize that this is strictly geek humor. A thousand pardons :)

The funny this is, in his inventory, he really does have a hamster, and if you try to move it out of the slot it's in, he gets really mad and yells at you from the inventory screen. Some other quotes:

"Squeaky wheel gets the kick!"
"Butt-kicking for goodness!"
"You point... I punch!"

Voters may want to read the other writeups.

The character's name is Minsc, a ranger. He's in Baldur's Gate 2 as well. He believes Boo is Minature Giant Space Hamster. He keeps the old soundbytes, but gets some new ones:

"A den of stinkin' evil! Cover your nose, boo; we will leave no crevice untouched!"

"Cities always teem with evil and decay... Let's give it a good shake and SEE WHAT FALLS OUT!"

If you get a high reputation, he says: "Ah, we are all heroes! You and Boo and I! Hamsters and Rangers everywhere! Rejoice!"

He's quite a useful fighter, one of the few people in the game who can use a composite longbow, and he comes with about four 'charm animal' s every day.
