"The only reason the furry movement has grown so big on the Internet is 
 because nobody has invented an effective method to punch people in the 
 throat online. "Shame" is no longer in our vocabulary, and this lack of 
 embarrassment has led to the exponential growth of groups who would 
 otherwise be too humiliated to speak of their zebra cock-loving fantasies 
 in public. Thank you very much, Internet!"

"QuickTime. It's the Mac version of RealPlayer, which means not only is it
 crappy, but it is crappy and has a snotty attitude."
					-Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka

"Before I continue let me explain something about women in porn in the 
 early eighties as they compare to contemporary porn actresses. Women were 
 just as beautiful then as they are now, but nowadays women are actually 
 made for porn. Today there exists an entire species of surgically 
 enhanced, shaved, oiled, and bleached women who naturally sprout tribal 
 tattoos above their ass crack and form belly button piercings the same 
 way a clam forms a pearl. These women inevitably soar to the heap of the 
 porn pile. Back in the 1970s and 1980s women in porn were basically good 
 looking women who were willing to fuck men on camera. Their vaginas were 
 covered with thick (even by normal standards) mats of hair, their breasts 
 were able to sag, their nipples could be too big or too small, and they 
 didn't always have perfect rows of teeth. Porn has evolved to such an 
 extent that these women have more in common with obscure 1920s 
 pornographic photos than they do with today's startlets. Many people 
 prefer this look to the sculpted and sterile porn of today, but it does 
 have its downsides."

"We here at Something Awful share a love/hate relationship with the good
 folks at Fark. It's not that we really hate Fark, it's just that we think
 the site is dumb, the people who post there are dumb, and the people who 
 read it are dumb. It is in our professional opinion that the most 
 pressing problem Fark users face each day is a pop quiz on U.S. capitols. 
 I hope that this little section doesn't soil any diplomatic ties we 
 have with Fark. In fact it's kind of like insulting a retard. They don't 
 know what you're really saying but they're just happy you're talking to 
 them. Everybody wins!"

"In Japan, bishoujo games (aka hentai games) are so popular, at least 50
 new titles are released each month."

"I am the new Number Two. You are Number SUCKS."

"The only thing worse than a Star Trek themed wedding is a Star Trek
themed Honeymoon."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons

"...Dr. Who, which played continuously for 75 years in England without
 commercial interruption."
					-Josh "Livestock" Boruff

"To call something so tame, boring and conventional 'gothic' is an 
 illustration of just how far our culture's standards have slipped. I'd 
 imagine it takes every ounce of Peter Murphy's willpower just to get out 
 of his coffin at dusk and face such a world."
					-Dr. David Thorpe, on Evanescence 

"Final Thoughts: Japan, we need to talk. I know you've had years and years
 to think about dick-girl porn, rape, tentacles, and giant clitorises, I
 just don't think the conclusion you have reached about it all is the same
 as the conclusion I have reached. Your conclusion appears to be that 
 these things are all wonderful, erotic, and acceptable forms of 
 entertainment. My conclusion is that all artists responsible for these 
 games, everyone who buys the games, and all the clueless fatheads who 
 e-mail me asking for the games should be herded into Hiroshima. The 
 zombie corpse of Harry S. Truman, re-animated through Voodoo magic, can 
 then re-drop the atomic bomb and turn all of you into shadows on 
 concrete. If only the original atomic bombs had managed to hit only 
 Hentai game designers instead of thousands of innocent, non-crazy 
 non-perverts."

"Better luck next time, and please pay me $5,000 since I suffered whiplash
 jolting my neck away from my monitor when your picture popped up."
					-Josh "Livestock" Boruff

"What I don't get is why include all of the midgets in one scene? If I had 
 been making this movie I would have sprinkled their miniature mirth 
 throughout every shot. Actually, if I had been making this movie I would 
 have intentionally overdosed on sleeping pills and then simultaneously 
 hung and shot myself just to ensure I didn't have to film it."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons 

"What the hell is with the Japanese and their obsession with ocarinas? The 
 only assholes to ever play an ocarina are retarded Zelda and/or anime 
 fans with too much time and money on their hands. Do you see an ocarina 
 seat at a concerto? Does the hottest new ocarina artist to ever come out 
 of Philly have a new duet with Puffy? No, of course not, because ocarinas 
 are the equivalent of kazoos for pasty-faced white virgins who want to be 
 Japanese and have fucking anime wallpaper on their Lain sticker covered 
 laptop."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons 

"This is a very delicate issue that can only be solved by me not caring 
 about it."
					-Zachary "Spokker Jones" Gutierrez

"On the internet there are two seperate and equally important groups, the 
 porn makers who create smut, and the uptight mothers who are continually 
 bitching about it. These are their stories."

* I have a gambling problem.

"It took me over 6 hours to play through this game. If I live to be 80 - 
 and that's really being generous with my lifespan - I will enjoy 700,800 
 hours of fresh air and beating heart. Thanks to this game I can now 
 revise that number to under 700,794 and that is fucking inexcusable."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons

"Here's a little hint for all you up and coming aspiring game developers
 out there: just because you've included a button which makes your
 character jump doesn't mean that us gamers necessarily enjoy pressing 
 this button. There are many other non-jump buttons that human beings 
 would prefer to smash instead of the 'jump' one, so perhaps you should 
 entertain the idea of using these keys instead."
					-Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka

"I've seen opium dens in 19th century Hong Kong with fewer suspicious 
 characters than this particular grocery store."

"No matter, it's not like a softcore porn movie devoted to honoring the 
 holocaust needs to be particularly historically accurate."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons

"The Nazis can't even cut through red tape in a sex-torture hospital."

 he died."

"Back in the 1800s people used to sit around and talk for hours. You can 
 try that if you're really desperate, but honestly after TV, the Internet, 
 and ShavedSamoanGrannies.com you're not going to find a whole lot worth 
 talking about with the dullards around you."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons 

"As if dressing up as a raccoon for sexual purposes wasn't retarded 
 enough, now people can do that and play a retarded card game at the same 
 time. If human beings can possibly sink to a lower level than this, then 
 it's high time we collectively call it quits and go ahead and detonate 
 all those unused nukes we were saving for a rainy day apocalypse."
					-Josh "Livestock" Boruff

"At this point, I really don't think I could tell the difference between
 checking my e-mail and getting stuck in an elevator with science fiction
 writer Harlon Ellison. Both are intensely painful, grating, and
 soul-shattering experiences."

"I would apologize for turning Something Awful into my own little 
 LiveJournal about my dumb pets, but to be quite honest, this is the 
 Internet and if you're expecting some cutting edge intelligent humor 
 here, then you're sorely confused."
					-Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka

"The final boss is a knight who throws beer mugs at you. It's one of those
 bizarre 'Is this ironic or just stupid?' moments that would probably make
 an internet hipster's giant head explode."
					-Jedidiah "Jed" Kirchner

"...but thankfully the specifics of its use are left to the imagination.
 Normally I would assume my imagination could dream up worse things than
 what is actually going on but given the involvement of the Japanese I
 seriously doubt I have the creativity to trump them."
					-Zack "Geist Editor" Parsons

"For those of you saying that I'm wrong in this brilliant theory, consider
 this: No I'm not."
					-Taylor "Psychosis" Bell

"Now maybe I deserve some of this because I've been too lazy to upgrade
 from Windows ME, known worldwide as Windows 98's retarded cousin, but my
 XP-using friend had all of the same problems so XP can't be all that hot.  
 Maybe I should install Linux instead, as that would make me inherently
 superior to all other life forms and make my cock grow to the size of a
 small fire truck."
						-Taylor "Psychosis" Bell

"Speaking of things I like, this segue isn't one of them."

"Fuck you, Imagineering Inc, for breaking the sacred bond of trust between
 gamers and developers that no more than 1/3 of a level will take place
 inside an air duct."

"Video games have been proven as an effective means of turning people into
 soulless killing machines and can therefore be rated by how well they'll
 prepare you for trekking across a post-apocalyptic wasteland where you'll
 need these primal instincts to fashion makeshift clothing from the skins
 of mutant bikers."

"No matter how much effort went into the interface it can't be saved
 thanks to what seems to be craziest fetishist on all of Geocities turned
 loose on the game's plot."

"Were all the good game ideas used up in 1990, or did Nintendo just have 
 an unplayable crap quota they had to fill every year?"

"They want to play strip poker, but the girls want to bust out the ol'
 Ouija board. The compromise is strip Ouija, where the board tells them
 which article of clothing they have to remove.  Honestly, that's probably
 the best idea in the entire movie. I don't think it's exactly what the
 Parker Brothers had in mind when they mass produced a conduit to the
 netherworld, but it's still a pretty decent compromise."

"Enemies: It's the Olympics, so the only enemies are those damn communist
 Russians. But I don't know if I'd really want to pick a fight with the
 Russians. On one hand we have the most powerful army in the world, but on
 the other hand they have Zangief. It's a tough call."

"It's our patriotic duty as god-fearing Americans to protect Israel 
 because we know, in our heart of hearts, that if America was suddenly at 
 war with Canada, the entire Israeli army would come to our aid within 
 hours, assuming they have boats."

"One glowing difference that separates Iraq from other rogue nations such
 as Iran or Texas is their leader, Saddam Hussein, who is simply the most
 evil man since Hitler or Satan or the guy who writes "Family Circus."
 Saddam Hussein, from what I can gather, is intensely evil because he has 
 a silly mustache and encourages his citizens to burn American flags when
 they can't even afford to buy them."

"Naturally, North Korea is the country we pay the least amount of 
 attention to, despite the fact that they are constantly making the news 
 on a daily basis by calling us mean names and claiming to nuke the entire 
 planet unless we hand over Captain Planet and his inpet squad of 
 Planeteers."

[from Cliff Yablonski's new year's resolutions:]
"2) BECOME THE CEO OF THE PTA - Before any of you assblasting nerdcenters
 once again whine, 'wah, but Cliff, you don't have any kids so you can't
 become the CEO of the PTA,' let me make one important point: SHUT THE 
 FUCK UP."

"Congrats on the date; I hope that a beautiful relationship completely 
 devoid of Star Trek slash fiction will soon follow."

"Sure, you won't get anything done, but that at least means you won't get 
 anything stupid done."

"I consider myself a pretty middle of the road person who happens to side 
 more frequently with less-liberal Democrats than he does with more-liberal
 Republicans. For those of you who read that sentence and just got 
 slightly annoyed with me; you are fucking retarded. The same goes out to 
 anyone on any side of the political spectrum who thinks one party is 
 pretty much always right and the other is pretty much always wrong. To me 
 the 'middle of the road' represents reason and rationality, and the 
 farther you go in any direction away from that road the closer you get to 
 having a doctor put a helmet on you because you're so stupid you keep 
 trying to stab your brain with a fork."

"Do you understand how bad this game is? I would rather you eat bread made  
 out of my flesh and blood than have to spend any more time playing the 
 game."

"I admit when I began reviewing Hentai games I greatly exaggerated my 
 disgust at many of the scenarios. It's not that I found them arousing, 
 it's that the Internet had me so jaded that creepy sex and cartoon rape 
 just don't offend me anymore."

"To anybody out there who is actually turned on by looking at blurry
 British broads who are all either now dead or rotting in a retirement
 home, I've got two words for you:  porn newsgroups. I originally 
 shortened that down from the three word phrase of "get a girlfriend" 
 because that's far too unrealistic for anybody who runs a Dr. Who erotic 
 fansite."

"Driving in Chicago is similar to having sex with a mummy; you're probably
 going to get where you want eventually but it's incredibly abrasive and
 not at all pleasant."

"I doubt anything like this has happened, but if you haven't noticed I'm  
 so neurotic I make a Chihuahua undergoing KGB interrogation seem 
 nonplussed by comparison."

"The mob is more or less the Voltron of society. Each person, while
 unique, eventually sheds their individuality to become a faceless part of
 something greater. The mob is a vehicle for humans to get the job done, 
 no matter what that job is. In most cases, mob formation is intended to 
 help eradicate a threat, scare the holy crotch out of someone, or to 
 build unity by giving many people a united voice, which is then used to 
 spew delicious hate or anti-anti-mob propaganda."

"Angry mob gatherings allow you to meet all kinds of folks with the same
 shared interests and hatreds. If being a part of the same angry mob as
 another person isn't a solid foundation to a lasting friendship, I don't
 know what is!"

"The idea of a web log isn't new, and more often than not they are only 
 successful in the hands of pretty girls who can attach their cutesy 
 smiles and almost-nude webcam to their dull words."

"As I said above, the basis of this website is to take a small number of 
 jokes and drive them into the cold, cold ground."

"Really though, I think the CD launcher is a beautiful idea because if I
 really hated someone I'd probably want to throw an Aerosmith CD or two at
 them, thus killing two birds with one 74-minute episode of aural sodomy."

"Due to various circumstances, one being the fact that I am an idiot, I 
 had gotten to sleep at about 5:30 AM and thusly was hitting the sleep 
 doubly hard as usual. If sleep were a battered wife, I'd be some genetic
 recombination of OJ Simpson and Mike Tyson in a perpetual drunken rage."

"...which you couldn't even predict with the help of John Edwards or Miss 
 Cleo. Even if they made the sex and had a baby, their offspring wouldn't 
 have enough clairvoyance to see these events coming, although the hideous 
 creature would bring its own brand of horror into the world."

"These were all incredibly exciting and wonderful concepts that were
 predicted to revolutionize the Internet industry just like how Dale
 Earnhardt revolutionized the "dying in a NASCAR race" industry."

"One time I was walking home through the park and I saw a UFO in the sky
with "GOODYEAR" written on it so I got home and wrote to Goodyear telling
them unless they gave me fifty million bucks then their dirty little space
secret was out. They never wrote back so now you know what they're up to
and if you buy some of their tires you'll be funding Martian death fleets
and guess who will be laughing when your corpse is frying like bacon on
the hood of my Chrysler? Me, that's who. I'll be the one laughing, not the
dead one. That will be you, you the dead guy, and me the one laughing. At
you."
					-Cliff Yablonksi

"Plus if you get radioactive and you're near an insect or animal, you gain
 the strengths of that particular creature. I guess that also means that
 the animal receives your weakest traits, so be on the lookout for lazy
 spiders or pumas that really suck at parallel parking."

"America is the ultimate example of this. It absorbs these cultures,
 swallows them into its bloated girth, and regurgitates them onto the rest
 of the world; a soulless parrot god puking trends down the throat of
 Western Europe, shilling Big Macs in sub-Saharan Africa."

"To tell the truth, I really had grand ambitions for this analogy but none
 of them materialized, and for that I apologize."

"Actually, I really have no idea why anybody visits this site at all. I'm 
 leaning towards the theory that a lot of you lost a lot of bets and had
 to come here as punishment."

"So when you see a mummy wandering around, undoubtedly towards the
 nearest, most attractive woman, you're going to try to stop it. As an
 American, I consider it my civic duty to smash democracy into the gullet
 of any theocratic undead monstrosity I see. And so should you, provided
 you're an American. If you aren't American, contact your government and
 ask them their policy on mummies."

"But choosing where to live isn't like choosing a store that has the best
 discount liquor at low, low prices. Selecting a home is a long-term
 commitment, like murdering a man but less illegal. Unless you murder a
 man and take his house. Then it's just as illegal."

"Now I don't like to make sweeping generalizations, but everybody in the 
 Internet ad industry is a retarded lump of rotting roadkill. Their
 solution to any problem is to 'become more annoying.'"

"Now I know that it's terribly clichéd of me to write something along the
 lines of 'oh, the Internet was much better five years ago' since that's
 the type of thing only Star Wars fans and critics of this site say..."

"As time progresses, Internet ads grow more obnoxious and tiresome while
 simultaneously generating exponentially less income for the people
 running them. Webmasters live in a failed environment, a world that is
 rapidly traveling into the sun, and nobody anywhere has any answers. In
 the meantime, everybody aboard is burning alive and looking for a way
 out."

"Most English slang is the equivalent of the blank tile in Scrabble; it's
 a wildcard that can be substituted for absolutely anything whatsoever,
 and it usually is."

"The only way to stop a Bigfoot is to beat it in a race around the world.
 First one to reach Luxembourg wins, and winning will instantly crush the
 beast. Well, his spirits anyway. Those damn cocky bigfoots need to be put
 in their place."

"However, I don't think I need to point out how terribly excited I was
 when I received this glorious email message today. I felt like a kid in a 
 toy store... only the toy store is full of delicious candy! And it's on
 Mars! And the kid has X-ray vision. I felt that my calling in life had
 finally manifested itself in the inbox of my soul, sending bytes of
 digital hope to the CD burner in my brain and allowing my SCSI drive of
 my colon to burn a CD-ROM of joy. In other words, I was drunk while
 writing this."

"I don't want the cops knowing about my website or they won't bother
 looking for my corpse."

"You see, a human being's intelligence level is inversely proportional to
 their fashion sense. This is why you never see Playboy models working on
 cold fusion projects or Carl Sagan doing strip shows. Well, that and the
 fact that he's been dead for over half a decade."

"Wait, I just reread this whole article and I am a fucking moron. Oh well,
 I may be a moron but I make up for it by being too lazy to start this
 article over from scratch and not make an ass of myself."

"Nothing says 'I want to defile you' like a set of extremely risqué
 lingerie."

"Shiny things impress the ladies, I know this from a long history of
 trading trinkets to the Native Americans for vast tracts of land, and
 Native Americans are basically like ladies only bigger. From my dealings
 that went awry I know that you must carefully choose the jewelry or
 you'll end up with some serious tomahawk wounds to the head and neck."

"This page just goes to show that it doesn't matter if you're male,
 female, trans, or furrie: celebrity worship pages are still scary and
 creepy. And no matter how unattractive or untalented you are, somebody
 out there wants to knock you up. Or have your baby. Or your werewolf. Or
 all three, in a four-way with a panda and an alien with fifty tentacles."

"That's how Scientologists operate. They are like really pushy and
 persistent vampires, who constantly try to infect people with their
 special brand of cash vampirism. Sites like "Operation: Clambake" and
 news groups like 'alt.religion.scientology' are the Van Helsing to
 Scientology's Dracula. And L. Ron Hubbard was like those two hot vampire
 women who were getting all sexy with Keanu Reeves and then Dracula came
 in and fed them a baby. And Dracula is Xenu, I think. Shit, I've confused
 myself again."

"They also like to tell you about how good various products are. Even when
 talking about the ones you can tell they think suck, this site still
 reads like ad copy for morons by morons. They rattle off product 
 information like they're reciting a press release while a crazy 
 Vietnamese guy holds a pistol to their temple."

"Helllooooo ladies! Keith is an eligible bachelor looking for Miss Right!
 Unfortunately Keith has the grammar skills of a 14-year old AOLer, as
 well as a page to match."

"Once again, let us all thank the Internet for not only allowing things
 like this to exist, but actually encouraging them and uniting together
 all the messed up freakjobs who would normally only meet inside prison!
 Thank you very much, Internet!"

"The whole site is like some Ritalin-deprived disaster area."

"No, I fear stalkers. Celebrity stalkers. Even though I'm not a celebrity.
 I'm also not an early 20th century archaeologist and I'm still afraid of
 fucking mummies so back up the rationality train because it doesn't
 belong in my station."

"Also, I believe most programming executives at the various networks
 constantly trip on LSD and have never met another human being, preferring
 to make their programming decisions based not on demographics, but on the
 opinions of the talking phosphorescent lichen that populates their
 horrifying hallucinations inside their cave hideout."

"I like how the site encourages horizontal scrolling, a characteristic
 that makes sites these days seem to lack, probably for a good reason.
 This site absolutely boggles my mind, like that once scene from "House"
 where the guy fought the embalmed fish on the wall."

"Everybody loves fan fiction! How could you not?! It's taking celebrities
 or characters and placing them in incredibly retarded situations or just
 placing them in a scenario with the author of the story so he or she
 doesn't feel the crushing emptiness of their life quite so much."

"Think back to the times when you were a child and woke up on Christmas
 morning. Do you remember the feeling you would experience when rushing
 down the steps and laying eyes on all the festive and large gifts wrapped
 with your name written across them? Do you remember how fast your heart
 started beating, the sheer happiness you experienced, and the tingling
 sensation that ran down your back? Now think back to the time when you
 opened the first gift and realized that it was one of the most retarded
 presents ever, like a bunch of tubesocks or an educational puzzle. This
 Flash movie is the equivalent to experiencing that while simultaneously
 having an adult mule kick you in your genitalia."

"I lost all respect for zombies when I was a kid. I caught my dad making
 out with one on the couch. Oh calm down, it was a girl zombie."

"The room was practically crackling with really fucking stupid erotic
 energy."

"Taking away guns and trying to convince your children that guns don't 
 exist won't stop the violence in the United States. If someone can't
 shoot you with a gun they will shoot you with a knife, if you take away
 the knife they will shoot you with a truncheon, and so on until people
 are being shot in the streets with pillows and kittens."

"Now I've never professed to being an English scholar, but you'll notice
 that I have never tried to speak a foreign language like Japanese or
 Canadian on this page. Why? Because I would fail and my site would look
 like I slipped and knocked over the Babelfish webserver. Stick to your
 native language, folks; bad translations are for Japanese videogames, not
 Internet pictures."

"The human body is an incredible machine. To best understand how it works,
 it helps to think of it as a car with flesh and eyeballs and hair. Now
 this car needs fuel to go anywhere, and it can only accept certain types
 of fuel. This fuel is provided by large metal blocks with pumps that are
 shoved into a certain orifice. When the car is being fueled, it has to be
 turned off or else an Arab guy will yell at you and switch off the pump.
 Also, you're not supposed to smoke while fueling either, which is yet
 another reason to quit right now. So, as you can see, the body is a lot
 like a car, at least in the sense that it isn't anything like a car
 because it has more flesh and eyeballs and hair, which was my original
 point."

"Like a case of full blown AIDS, 'Gran Turismo 3' will destroy your life."

"The mere title of this page provides us with enough information to 
 instantly assume the following:
	1) The webmaster has suffered a critical series of 
	   life-threatening blows to the skull with a fireaxe,
	2) The webmaster has mistaken his keyboard as a flyswatter and has
	   been smashing it against nearby walls and tables, thereby
	   accidentally creating this page,
	3) There is, in fact, no God."

"Russia and China basically denounce ANYTHING the US wants to do,
 regardless of worldwide impact or function. They're like the two cranky
 aunts your parent made you stay with when they both simultaneously went
 out of town to cheat on each other. Er, the parents being the ones who
 went out of town, not the aunts. If your aunts were cheating on each
 other, I think you've got bigger problems than worrying about what Russia
 thinks of you."

"This resounding support for the National Missile Defense System has
 caused other groups to adopt similar strategies, such as MADD (Mothers
 Against Drunk Driving), which is now creating 'Drunkard Unit
 Interceptors' (DUIs) to cut down on the number of alcohol-related 
 accidents. They hand pick a selection of college students, buy them each
 a 12-pack of Milwaukee's finest, and wait for them to get completely
 loaded. Once the college student begins talking about 'how really fucking
 talented Dave Matthews is,' they are carried off and shoved into a 1989
 Honda CRX. These students then take off, hunting down drunk drivers and
 attempting to ram their car into them before the enemy drunk driver can
 hit an innocent civilian minivan. Tests have not been encouraging so far,
 as the students appear to mistake large trees and trash dumpsters as
 'drunk drivers.' I think the main obstacle is keeping the DUIs from 
 'rocking out' to The Grateful Dead every time they get in the car."

"To make the best omelet you have to tie a few eggs to a post and flay
 them in front of the villagers."

"If you have any complaints, you should feel free to email them to Andrew
 Stine, who will more than willingly laugh at them and subscribe you to a
 Hello Kitty mailing list."             

"The key to any successful online RPG lies in the fact that it merely 
 exists; you're marketing the game to a demographic that will buy any 
 goddamn thing with elves in it."

"The sheriff proceeds to go on a tirade, saying such fabulous quotes as,
 'Ahhhhhhhh, you kids! You kids get my goat! I remember both of you from
 high school! Troublemakers!' Matt tries to stick up for them by replying,
 'but we're not in high school anymore!' to which the sheriff cleverly
 replies, 'Well maybe you should be! Ahhhhhhhhh!' Folks, you can't write
 dialogue like this. I think it's illegal."

"IM NOT INTRESTED IN PROMOTING YUOR AGENDA SIR"
                                        -JeffK's Levelord interview

"You'd think that 300-year-old robot suits would be in pretty bad shape by
 now, but that's just because you're dumb. Ancient robot suits, just like 
 ancient swords, ancient pyramids, and Bob Dole, are super-strong and
 impervious to laser beams and nuclear explosions."
                                         -the ROM Pit review of
                                         "Gundam Wing: Endless Duel"

"Knowing that a lot of people across the world with Geocities sites
 absolutely despise me is about the only thing that can add a positive
 spin to this situation."                

"Life is not a Steven Spielberg movie. You will never meet a magic alien
 that will cause your bicycle to crash land on the moon or discover a   
 buried pirate ship in a secret underground cave. Instead, you will only
 scrape your knee on a broken piece of wood and make awkward passes at  
 girls who totally despise you."

"To be honest, I sort of liked the theme song, but as I'm writing this
 review I'm listening to a full orchestral version of the Super Mario 
 Brothers theme, so I may not the best person to be judging music."   
                                        
"If this whole novel thing doesn't work out, I am pretty sure I can just
 learn Japanese and go script episodes of 'Gundam Wing' or 'Dragonball Z.'
 If anything, I am overqualified for that position."

"Of course I'd hate to make a cheap joke based off human death, pain, and
 suffering, but this news item is simply too important to pass up. Also
 I'm kind of an idiot and these kinds of tasteless articles are the only
 crap I know how to write short of 120-page dissertations on why I want to
 buy a robot monkey bartender. Besides, this site is named "Something
 Awful," so you knew full well what you were getting yourself into when
 you clicked the link to come here. Don't blame me - blame society. Nah,
 society doesn't run a half-assed, moronic webpage. Blame me."

"okay you just keep not knowing you sexy smart piece of fucking worthless
 shit"
                                        -the drunken horror banner

"I'm not exactly sure why Dean Koontz is convinced that the world's
 economy revolves around mutating people into a cross between Ted Bundy
 and a panther, but hey, it's not my place to question writers who earn
 more money in one day than I'll ever see my entire life. Maybe it has 
 something to do with NAFTA."
                                        
"Uh... I think I've said too much."     
"I think I spot a reoccurring theme with you."
                                        
"After I had slowly finished weeping and praying for death that night, my
 mind naturally progressed to thinking about this website, which often   
 causes the same effect."

"I mean, it's not like they give webpages to just anybody. Think how big a
 cesspit the Internet would be if any random slackjawed cretin could sign 
 up and instantly get webspace!:

"Things like this make me wonder if the Japanese have some sort of special
 inner eyelid (like a shark or Mr. Spock) that can open and close really
 fast to compensate for the blinding strobe effect that 90% of their
 cartoons and video games employ."      

"The story starts off fairly foreboding and spooky, which is just how I
 like my women."

"For God's sake, this kind of money is ridiculous! Many people hate
 baseball because the players get paid so much while schoolteachers and
 carpet salesmen make paltry sums of cash, but I don't give a rat's ass
 where the cash goes as long as it's not to somebody who earns a living by
 throwing a ball. I would have no problem if the New York Yankees simply 
 bought a wheelbarrow, hauled out a couple million dollars every game, and
 proceeded to light it on fire while flipping the middle finger to the
 cameras and crowd. I would love to see that. I would pay money to see  
 that. However, knowing that such an ungodly amount of cash is going to
 BASEBALL PLAYERS just makes me sicker than a dog who just found "dinner"
 in a hospital bedpan. I can't even attend a general admission game  
 anymore because the tickets are over $25. The sheer boredom of baseball
 gave people reason enough to stop attending games; having to take out a  
 second mortgage just to purchase a single ticket is going to make it even
 worse. Screw baseball and the cash cow it rode in on."
                                        
"The lesson here is that when dealing with loopy sci-fi like Star Trek
 lazy really is better. I always watched it assuming that any plot holes
 could be easily filled in by robots. Handicapable transporter? Robots. 
 Holodeck? Robots. The Robots? Robots. It makes watching this crap a whole
 lot more fun."

"I graduated from the University of Geocities! I majored in 'Enabling the
 Community!'"

"Today's incredible tale revolves around the exciting antics of the 1980's
 superhero team the SilverHawks, who fight for justice and truth by
 dipping themselves in metal and beating up on a guy flying around in a
 giant squid spaceship. Hey, I didn't make up the cartoon, I just write 
 about it."

"I dare you to find one example proving me otherwise. If you can, don't
 bother emailing me about it, because I really don't care at this point."
