Now I remember why I like you... We hate the same types of annoyances..
Condoms! Kindergarten Drama teachers! All have standards.
Voice mail systems? Nooooo.

Bob: People are complaining the VM is too hard to use
Larry: I don't want to reprogram it, Spore just arrived and I haven't finished Warhammer yet.
Bob: Have you seen those giant walking ***** on YouTube?
Larry: Seen them? Check out what I made.

Bob: But there's only 9 choices... that's not much security
Larry: Shhh. You say security and they will swallow anything. Now check out this Spore, I call it BoobARella....
