I envision this thread primarily for print media, multi-media, and movie quotes (not song lyrics 'cause of the "Favorite lyrics." thread)

ya, ya, ya kawayama, you and I have been through that little discussion before.

Thankfully, as finals draw near and my presence here becomes less and less, I take comfort in the fact that Word comes with spellcheck.

oh, and I'm not a Troll. "it is definitely a case of unrequited love." My record here on the WGB since February 4, 2004 when looked at dispassionately, clearly shows greater or lesser degrees of positive contributions.

Have I pissed off some members here. Yes.

Fine, but I'm convinced (perhaps delusionally, err, DP/FP) that my presence here is in fact appreciated, if only at times, by some members.

and KC, i mostly meant that my comment was trollish. or perhaps besserwisserish.

Isn't that from Office Space?

ya know,
i don't think so, but now you got me wondering...

I'm still thinkin' it is.

I know Peter says almost the exact same thing when he sees the hypnotherapist... Perhaps it's in Fight Club as well?

are you still workin' w/that nut?

A couple of the many quotations printed and posted around my cube at work:

And Splitcoil, what did wind up happening with Charles? I take it that he didn't actually go postal.

Changing day jobs, fathering another kiddo, and having a massively self-indulgent artistic crisis of epic proportions. Not necessarily in that order. Glad to be back...

Charles went away a long time ago, only to resurface in a place where I end up dealing with him from time to time. He's much better suited to the new job. Happier, more productive, and a more interesting person there. It was a happy ending all around, actually. And he still hasn't shot anyone, at least as far as I know.
