Did you all know that... →[More:]

The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on the Google search page is actually trademarked? I just noticed that this morning.

So now I can't go around saying I'm Feeling Lucky anymore without threat of copyright infringement.

So, I'm going to go ahead and trademark my newest kick-ass catchphrase, "What the fuck is WRONG WITH YOU?" so the next time you got the itch to throw that one out there, you're gonna be talking to my Phrase Police, Google-san.

Yeah, that's right. You have beef? Well then,
What the fuck is WRONG WITH YOUUUUUUUUU?"

ladies love the scent of power.

Oh man, No - don't do that! I need those! Can't you just lease some for me, just until the end of the year?

Sure, we'll do that, Whelk. We'll just pool those resources and then just what? Buy all the vowels?

Who gets to use which letter, Whelk? Sure, at the beginning, it's all champagne and horses, but then in the middle of the night, someone never makes it out of the warehouse. Isn't that right, Whelk? ISN'T IT?

You know I care about you, Whelk, and we've been through a lot, but I..just don't trust you.

To a thing baring a tag, moonshin. You cannot try to stop this guy.

No individual of any standing has to stoop to such lows. This proud nation was not built from such folk.

This alpha-conundrum will not intrinsically foil our strong moral stamina.

You, sir, with your crass appropriation of this "sound", will find your days small in this world.

Others will understand that, and shun you.

As a pariah.

As a cut-throat, a brigand, nay, a tiny pork rind floating in a bowl of cold, rancid soup.

Stop this now and all is forgot. Stay your hand, sir.

It is your play now. Your trump card will out, or you will.
