Quote of the Day - 1 March 2010

From Tam, remembering her office's first Win95 install:

"You mean all the machines in the office have a browser icon on the desktop?"

"Yes," she replied.

"And a fat pipe right to the Web?"

"Uh-huh."

"And this seems like a good idea to you?"

If only we knew.

Quote of the Day - October 14, 2009

From Weer'd Beard in comments on a Gay adoption post at SayUncle's:

Being from Mass our state has a LOT of problems, Gay Cooties from letting the homos get married isn’t one of them.

I couldn't argue with that, even if I wanted to.

Quote of the Day - Tam Strikes Again

I love Tam. Her mastery of the ancient arts of snark and verbal vizualization seems to be unparalleled in the blogosphere. Even in a short, simple post about a bike ride, she manages to bring her artistry to bear yet again:

So we pressed north on the Monon, some eleven or twelve miles from Roseholme Cottage to the workface of the trail mine, where jets of high-pressure tax dollars are used to hew bike path out of raw native railbed.

Like I said, an artist at work.

Quote of the Day - 3 September 2009

From Roberta X:

Somewhere around here not too far away, there is some person or entity big enough and mean enough to have depantsed a giant and made it stick.

Yeah, that would worry me, too.

from DMFA webcomic.

"Friends don't let friends become zombies."

Quote of the Day

...courtesy of Tam (of course - she's always good for that).

"If you have a T. Rex running loose in the Jurassic, damned skippy you've got some peril; somebody's lobbing theropods across millions of years to where they don't belong."

"Lobbing theropods across millions of years." Now there's an image I'll take with me 'till my dying day.
