My boy Scotty, who I lost two years ago today. But he's never far from my heart or my memory.

I've had people in my car use the term "musical whiplash" when I put my library on random.

I'm an astronaut. I got sucked through a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy. I'm on a ship - a living ship - full of strange, alien creatures. And I'm hoping my next leap will be the leap home.

640GB of RAM should be enough for anyone.

Just ignore people telling people to ignore it Matt.

And then all the libraries closed, and they had to send a ship back in time to find a breeding pair of libraries and bring them to the present before the aliens destroyed the planet...

I have 128GB RAM in mine. It's my retirement plan at the moment.

I don't trust you or Sam Altman. But I trust your judgement in not trusting Sam Altman.
(Note, this is a joke and I have never been given a reason not to trust you. Sam Altman, on the other hand...)

I have wiring looms coming out of my ears, but I'll have to craft the magnetic resonators for you. I'm sure I have some tritium around here somewhere...

Musical Whiplash is when you go from Air Supply to Godsmack to Garth Brooks to Third Eye Blind to Canadian Brass to Dave Matthews to Phantom of the Opera to Clint Black to Will Smith to Guns 'n Roses to the Eagles, with Jimmy Buffett and Rush sandwiched between each song.

I have always loved the Carpenters. Karen's voice just always sounds like she's smiling, even in the sad songs. Tragic what happened to her.

That satellite's attitude is almost as bad as mine.
There, you happy now? Sheesh.
Replying to

(Please note, that while my attitude is not actually the best, I am just doing a bit. In case that wasn't clear. You're awesome.)
My attitude might be better off there weren't all these mirrors showing me how out of control I look. Jerks.

T-Mobile crashed because of all the pixels you keep squeezing out of those poor overworked cameras. And it's sad because they're all black and white, while T-Mobile's official color is pink.

Finally know what the Whale Probe was saying.
Probe: "WheeOOOOOOwoooow..."
Whales: "No, you don't need to destroy the planet. These assholes will probably do it to themselves through some Borg transporter virus, some kid crying, plugging three warp cores together to turn a star into a torus, or some dumb shit like that."

That'd last me a decade the way I drink. But since I like variety, I have so many options in the liquor cabinet that my wife thought I was an alcoholic when we first met.
