Remember when Bowser was CEO of Nintendo? Fun times.
“What did you say her name was?”
There’s something going on in Data’s breeches
Well, he is fully functional.
Still better than Superman i guess.
Which English-speaking country has uniforms that look like that? That looks Russian or Spanish or something.
Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.
- Catch-22
Edit: man, I just need to reread this book huh? It’s insane that the entire novel reads like this, and it’s hysterical. Joseph Heller was a madman.
If you haven’t read Catch-22, do yourself a favor. It’s so goddamn funny.
I LOLed so much at that book. Also, in similar vein: A Confederacy of Dunces.
When I was in school, I was in the habit of reading a novel instead of listening to the teacher whenever I found the lesson boring (as I often did). I attempted this with Catch-22 and was immediately busted because despite my best efforts I laughed out loud halfway through the first page. Decades later it remains one of the funniest books I’ve ever read.
and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.
He also looked so much like Henry Fonda that it was a significant problem:
" Long before he even suspected who Henry Fonda was, he found himself the subject of unflattering comparisons everywhere he went. Total strangers saw fit to deprecate him, with the result that he was stricken early with a guilty fear of people and an obsequious impulse to apologize to society for the fact that he was not Henry Fonda" 😂
It’s such a fantastic book! Literally can’t recommend it enough if I live to be 120!
Just wait until you turn 121 and recommend it one too many times.
That’s a problem for “has been dead for decades” me, so not that worried rn tbh 🤷🏻
reminds me of the classic 90s joke “who is this General Failure and why is he reading my drive?”
Don’t get me started on that motherfucker Peer who always reset my connections.
I’m not even in the army, much less a squad leader. Who exactly is this Private Parts of mine that you want to see?
I assume you heard about that from Gen. Consensus. Don’t mind him, that ol’ fossil’s always acting like he speaks for everyone.
Colonel Oftruth is often at odds with him though
The last time they got into it, Cpl Punishment had to get involved.
He was out sick, Major Pain took over for him.
Thankfully, Cpl. Punishment’s still in solitary. 😶
My first thought was, who the fuck names their kid “Data”.
Then I realized there is a local radio personality named Oedipus, and I always thought what kind of parent names their kid that.
But then I remembered that that, is in fact, a stage name.
But I don’t think you can use stage names in the military?
So maybe they are NB and this was their chosen name? But I don’t think thd military would really go for that, let alone put them on TV (though I have no doubts that the best cyber security researchers out there are, in fact, queer).
So now I’m just more confused about everything.
We don’t know this persons name, the tagline is the news headline not this persons name, it’s about an actual data breach
It’s actually a combination of post-op opiates, weed, and me being a smartass son of a bitch.
I won’t lie, I did read it and think this is what I would probably comment if I was stoned, so I get that aha
But I don’t think you can use stage names in the military?
Probably the closest thing to this point that exists, would be callsigns for pilots. But yeah, the image is a joke about a news headline.
She got the job after Colonel Failure was promoted to general.
dontcha mean Colonel Panic?
Well, if she’s in the offensive cyberwarfare division…
Sheep in the Big City was a great show for puns. There were two Generals in that show. General Specific and General Lee Outrageous.
…and Private Public.
I didn’t realise Olivia Coleman held an officer commission.
I can see sister or cousin for sure.
The one from Austria?
yes but the opposite.
but I’m glad you’re spreading the word
They didn’t learn their lesson after Reality Winner.
