  1. When EVER… someone asks me… “Do you have any questions?”…

    “What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?” ALWAYS pops out of my mouth.

    It so utterly saddens me the amount of blank stares… or vague guesses at the answer I get.

    Many years ago I was active in the SCA. At fighter practices we’d be flinging Holy Grail quotes left and right (generally starting with “tis only a flesh wound”). One guy finally asked what we were talking about; I had to explain that they’re movie quotes, he’d never heard of Monty Python.

    The next week I brought him my copy of the movie.

    The week after that, he brought it back. “You didn’t tell me it’s a comedy.”

    “And how far into it did you get before you figured that out?” I’d have thought our quotes were clue enough.

    Nah, that guy wasn’t too bright. Once he showed up at my house wanting help with his computer (a desktop, so he didn’t have it with him).

    “What’s it doing?”

    “Nothing.”

    “Did you make any changes recently? Install or uninstall anything?”

    “No, it just stopped working.”

    Me, dubious, “Are you sure?”

    “Yeah. Well… Is command.com important?”

    Surely he didn’t… “Why do you ask?

    “I was deleting crap to make room on my drive, so I deleted it.”

    That and about half his other system files, it turned out.

  4. There should be no debate surrounding the A/C vent. The answer should always be “Bacon” unless you have to email someone to bring more bacon…

  5. I just have one question: why is Jared Fogle pimping Sudafed at a pharmacy in the 1970’s?

  7. boneman–I get saddened as well. Such a classic movie. Quotable goodness!

    Gary–She turned me into a newt!

    Slliest–Bacon always make it better!

    Bear–Definitely not the brightest bulb in the lamp…

    BRD–Looks like him but isn’t. He wasn’t born until the late 70’s.

    WDS–Truly fun to do it! And yes, it is. The reason that a whole generation will not go into the ocean….

  10. MWC, I figured it was just a freak resemblance, but that’s truly unfortunate for the guy holding the Sudafed.
