That's a direct quote from the movie Animal House, where the somewhat dimwitted Bluto is trying to give a rousing speech. The next two lines from onlookers:
"Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."
It's kinda sad that you had to explain that, don't you think? I thought you couldn't get out of high school without seeing Animal House--let alone college...

The gales of November came early, man. The gales of November came early. Infamously.
Gitche Gumee never gives up her dead. Infamously.
