Anybody who reads here and actually cares already knows that DS has, in Godlike fashion, caused the old Tonto forums from days of yore to rise from the dead.
Thus providing us with endless Marechal quotes, of course. One of which I will relate to you momentarily, as I am too preoccupied with fixing my laptop and trying to make my desktop not shoot blue flames from the fan port upon the release of Oblivion, which I guess has specs so high only about five people are going to be able to run it. I garuntee to you that Whir, Samson, and I will be among them. Save your spot now.
If presented with a choice wherein the HD on your laptop dies or does not die, I urge you to pick the "does not die" option, because the "dies" one is just all kinds of bad. Let's just leave it at that.
Anyway. Quotage:
[18:37] TontoMarius: Quoth Marechal: "Simfish, I order you to desist using big words. Now."
[18:37] PxcTNK: Hehehe
[18:37] TontoMarius: So true. So true.
[18:38] PxcTNK: One of us needs to make a book of Marechal quotes
[18:39] TontoMarius: I did show you that great big .doc I made of Marechal ICQ quotes, right?
[18:39] PxcTNK: I think so
[18:39] PxcTNK: See? You don't need to go back to school!
[18:39] PxcTNK: You can just sell those!
[18:40] TontoMarius: Ha.
[18:40] TontoMarius: And probably do better than my crappy paycheck now.
[18:40] PxcTNK: You can split the money with Marechal, which, after he gets through seminary, will spend it all on a mega-church where he can give sermons to the masses. Then he'll get his own television station.
[18:41] TontoMarius: And then it'll start getting really funny.
[18:42] PxcTNK: Yes. And then you get to publish the sequal, involving his sermons.
[18:42] TontoMarius: He needs to get elected, too. Since I'm taking over power from him in a coup.
[18:42] PxcTNK: What if he just ends up getting elected Governor of Wisconsin? Do you really want to start your empire in Wisconsin?
[18:43] TontoMarius: Well, I could conquer Michigan easily enough. But I've been to Michigan. I don't really want it.
[18:44] PxcTNK: You better stick with Oregon. I mean, who doesn't want to start an empire in a state whose main colleges' rivalry is called the "Civil War" and involves Ducks and Beavers?
[18:47] TontoMarius: Buahahahahaha.
[18:49] PxcTNK: As opposed to New Jersey, which apparently has no colleges of note
[18:50] TontoMarius: Doesn't everyone flee from New Jersey given the chance, anyway? Since it's that state that all the other, more popular states make fun of?
[18:51] PxcTNK: Pretty much
My sophomore/junior history teacher grew up in New Jersey, and all her life has had to suffer smirking guys asking her, "You lived in Jersey? Which exit?" Her perennial response: "From the Turnpike or the Parkway?"
That flattens most of 'em.
