Mohtalim MOTD 2008

[quantus]

From the magical Republican money fairies!

Ah, so that's where the Republicans get their money from... or maybe you're just talking about your economic stimulus check.

[quantus]

Helping sand realize its full potential

Are you referring to the wet lady from yesterday's MOTD that I missed recording who lives in a lake and hands out multi-core processors to establish a government of some sort?

Speaking of which, I should watch Search for the Holy Grail again. It's been a while since I've seen Tim or the Black Knight or the killer bunny with "nasty, pointy teeth" (don't forget to use your fingers to pantomime the fangs) in action.

[quantus]

The hardest thing should be organizing enough trucks to take all your money to the bank every day.

I think that is pretty much the hardest thing for me at the moment since if I hired a truck, I wouldn't have the money to haul to the bank... It's a bit of a conundrum.

[quantus]

fail in interesting ways

ooo ooo, I'm awesome at this. I am also good at failing in really stupid ways too, although I guess there's less demand for this.

JOE WEDDING

Thank you everyone who came. Special thanks to VLSmooth and especially Dwindlehop.

For those of you who didn't come and didn't have a good reason, well, you suck and miss a good party.

[quantus]

you can't revolutionize an omelet without terrorizing a few eggs

Yep, the honeymoon's over... for now.

[quantus]

Keep it smooth. Keep it VLSmooth.

[quantus]

Did crap and no longer care what it was.

Heh, yeah, that's about sums up my previous job. Ah, facebook. Good thing only friends can see that!

[quantus]

It's hard out there for a quasi-literate bug-machine.

The question is, can the bug machine talk? Then it can at least try to reason with the bug squishers out there.

I wonder if Bhuddist monks would also sweep bug-machines out of the way instead of stepping on them since they're not really alive...

[quantus]

It's as though YouTube grew up and got a job.

Man websites these days... They just don't know responsibility. Back in my day...

[quantus]

Beer isn't everything. Sex must also be involved.

Yeah, if beer (or any alcohol) drinking were the only thing required to be considered an adult, Vinny'd never grow up. However, if sex must be involved, I'm a bit worried about half the rest of this board's active members as well. I guess I'll get one of these or thesefor those that don't have by Christmas, especially those that didn't come to my wedding!

[quantus]

gonna lose net connection when i activate the faraday cage, bbl

That must be handy during lightning storms...

[quantus]

Andrew Mellon, in early 1930: "I see nothing in the present situation that is either menacing or warrants pessimism."

Seems similar to what people were saying up until yesterday... Is there any company left that is bigger than AIG even that might fail? Several smaller ones still taking a beating, but who's larger?

[quantus]

just because this is Massachussets doesn't mean you have to same-sex marry

Also $MOTD =~ s/Massachussets/California/;

[quantus]

Hanks.

huh?

[quantus]

like a country of Daniel Craig impersonators.

Bond. James Bond.

[quantus]

INNOVATION through OVERWHELMING INTIMIDATION

This must be a more Teddy Roosevelt Republican than F. D. Roosevelt Democrat...

[Jonathan]

???
What kind of innovation do you expect from your elected representatives, anyway?

It's from Nodwick, but is actually a Microsoft joke.

[quantus]

???
What kind of innovation do you expect from your elected representatives, anyway?

None directly. But which will provide a better environment for innovation to occur? My bet is not the Big Stick policy.

I was being oblique because I think it's amusing how both candidates claim to be a Roosevelt <insert party here>. I wonder how many Americans know what that means for even one party, let alone the distinction between the two.

[quantus]

ATTN: Everybody: Never take lessons from Dwindle

What'd you do?
