Hahahaha.... I love KOTOR. HK47's so awesome.

If you knew my team's drive team motto, you'd know why it wouldn't catch on...

In postable terms, it's "Don't screw up."

It's the motto of our coach's F1 team, and it just stuck during one of our regionals amid a flurry of really stupid mistakes (forgetting to turn the robot on during a practice match? Check!). Surprisingly, it did its job and our new drive team has really sharpened up. It's almost a mentality now that we carry to competition.

that's what she said.

Who would have thought that that stupid phrase would become such a large part of everyday conversation?

Going back to "quotes that won't catch on":

"This couldn't possibly be a hardware problem. As a responsible programmer, I know it is far more likely to be a problem with my code than with the computer, so I'm going to thoroughly test and debug it before blaming the hardware."

Re: Quotes that won't catch on

From work a few nights ago: "You may notice that your car slowed down only after you bumped someone. We do assist physics around here." -- me to a customer who said his car slowed down during a race. He got the point pretty quickly.

(I work at a go-kart track. We do have ways to slow a kart down when we need to.)
