NOT 1001 Knights. This has nothing to do with chivalry per se but a length of time; hence 'nights.'
The Book of One Thousand and One Nights - also known as The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night, One Thousand and One Nights, 1001 Arabian Nights, Arabian Nights, The Nightly Entertainments or simply The Nights - is a medieval Middle-Eastern literary epic which tells the story of Scheherazade, a Sassanid Queen, who must relate a series of stories to her malevolent husband, the King, to delay her execution. The stories are told over a period of one thousand and one nights, and every night she ends the story with a suspenseful situation, forcing the King to keep her alive for another day. The individual stories were created over many centuries, by many people and in many styles, and they have become famous in their own right. Notable examples include Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.

Mitch: -- in a wannabe, I am a lit sophomore manner -- "If this continues we are going to have to call in the 1001 knights; to quote the title of a book."
Scott: "Wrong again guy; it is '1001 nights' as in 'the evening.' This is not a reference to guys in armour on the backs of horses!"

Get the waste of electrons mug.Beautiful cottage country in south-central Ontario, Canada. Made 'famous' by such Hollywood stars as Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and Tom Hanks and others.
Once a place of peace and quiet, respectfully tainted with the noise of summer-fun including boating, water skiing, tubing, and just about any other outdoor activity - other than HUNTING!
The original cottages were a place to escape to from the rat-race of the stinky city - mainly the city of Toronto.
Once this land was 'discovered' by certain high-profile people, rich pricks decided it was 'trendy' and 'necessary' to purchase land or a cottage there so as to look upwardly-mobile. This has degraded Muskoka by making it unrealistically expensive for the average layman to purchase; and unmanagable for those who first set their cottage roots there, due to higher taxes and anal newcomers.
Like the white-man raped the Native Americans' lands, so has the yuppie/rich prick raped Muskoka.

New Muskokan cottager:
Franchini: "Are we taking the Bentley and the Bichon to Muskoka this weekend Elsha?"
Elsha: "Well we may need the Bentley because Arthur is flying in from Eton. I think we should have Ramon watch the Bichon as you know Arthur just won't have anything to do with her shedding!"
Franchini: "Fine..fine..fine..Let Ramon watch the bitch and we shall enjoy Cognac with Arthur in Muskoka...I do hope the central air is on when we arrive and that the plumbers have installed the three 'bidets' in the main washrooms."
TRUE Muskokan cottager in the 70s:
Merv: "Did we get the coolers and sleeping bags all packed kids?"
Kids: "Yes daddy, and mommy made us some lunches 'cause we're hungry now and can't wait till we stop for our mid-trip snack. I hope the bunny's are there at the stop. Can we get our allowance now so we can buy some blackballs and bottlecaps daddy?"
Merv: "If you are good. Remember, its a long drive but at least we have this wagon now. Too bad we can't afford a plane to fly up and avoid the traffic." - laughing
Kids: "Yea, but at least we have a boat so we can ski and fish and stuff."
Merv: "That's true kids, good attitude."

Get the marital aid mug.Used while ordering a beverage - alcoholic - to be consumed straight; without ice; accompanied only by the glass which surrounds it. Often used by men wanting to impress a woman - or another man. Often used by those who think they are better than others. Used by those who know nothing special - other than this unique word - around average to above-average folk who don't need to use such words because they don't flaunt their knowledge. Used by wannabe bartenders or egomaniacal bartenders when ordering - even if the drink tastes like piss 'neat' - just to impress another bartender, or waitress/waiter, with their flashy bar grammar.
Josh: "I'd like a peach schnapps NEAT please."
Bartender: "Would you like it in a glass or over your head putz?"

Get the neat mug.This is the first of several films featuring Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, a modern day urban equivalent of Robin Hood, Zorro, and the Lone Ranger. When initially released, Death Wish was immediately controversial as was Dirty Harry (1971). Audiences tended to be divided between those who were offended by what they considered to be excessive violence and those who (like Harry Callahan and Paul Kersey) had lost confidence in society's willingness and/or ability to respond effectively to violent crime.
When we first meet Kersey, he is in all respects a gentle man. A successful architect who is happily married to Joanna (Hope Lange) and a proud father of his beloved daughter, he is carefully positioned as a law-abiding citizen. After his wife and daughter are brutally attacked by thugs who escape punishment, Kersey commits himself to ridding the city of such crap. In fact, he seeks them out in the most likely areas (e.g. public parks and on subways), coldly and systematically killing as many as he can. Of course, other law abiding citizens are wholly supportive of his efforts but law enforcement officials fear the possible implications of such vigilantiism.

"I watched 'Death Wish' and after turning off the DVD, I wondered why there weren't more heroic vigilantes out there." Good work "Kersey!"
