Line 27:
* ''[[Dave Barry]] Slept Here'' describes the years between 1963 and 1968 as "A Long String of Bummers," starting with President [[John F. Kennedy]]'s assassination, followed by the election of goofy-looking President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], the Vietnam War and its associated controversies, more assassinations and riots, and ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' being canceled. The same book describes [[The Great Depression]] as "an era of unemployment, poverty, social turmoil, despair, and--worst of all--Shirley Temple movies."
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'''s Gilderoy Lockhart: "Order of Merlin Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and Five-Time Winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award."
** And he thinks that last one is his greatest achievement ( {{spoiler|it actually is}}), which of course makes Harry's detention in that book all the funnier. "Thought you'd make an entrance, didn't you? Well, it's not quite the Most Charming Smile Award, but it's a start, Harry, it's a start!"
