Title: Contest! Be a Winner!
Post by: worker201 on 15 August 2006, 22:28

The first person to correctly identify the movie from which each of the following quotes was taken will be sigged by me.  No shit!

1. "The president of the United States is Ronald Dickhead Reagan!"

2. "On the run from Johnny Law ... ain't no trip to Cleveland."

3. "3263827!"

4. "Your ass looks like a hundred and fifty pound wad of chewed bubblegum!"

5. "That's how you become great, man. Hang your balls out there."

I consider 2 of those to be dead giveaways.  The other 3 might be a challenge.

Remember, you have to list all 5 in your post to be a winner.  And yes, these 5 quotes are from 5 different movies.

I only know that one... but I remember the second from somewhere. Unless we got some movie buffs here I'll be the motherfuckin' winner!

Perhaps Google should expand into the common phrases and movie quotes market.

Relatedly, I heard reports about the Linux that Google uses internally, nicknamed Goobuntu.  It's doubtful that it would ever become a real distro, but you never know.

Why would they call it that?  Google's Linux is a customized Red Hat.

Of course, Ubuntu does have one corporate user. A very high profile one, in fact

I thought this was about movie quotes, and isn't #4 from Full Metal Jacket?

Oh, you meant their desktop system.  Yeah...but their servers run a modified Red Hat.

Google Inc. confirmed on Wednesday that it is using the Ubuntu desktop Linux internally, but it wouldn't give specifics about how it is being used. The Internet search giant denied a widely circulated report that it is secretly developing its own Linux distribution.
