Oh, Gods, he said it.
Don't worry about it. If Sandgorgon Herbst's speed is representative of his species, Nom won't get here for at least 35 years.
(Nooooooo! A mildly obscure in-joke! Let the self-flagellation commence! At least it's a Watch-based joke...)
Sweet. By that time I might have enough cash to buy my own sandgorgon and have it save me.
Hey, the stores give a whole new reason to do otherwise irrelevant character matchups and whatnot in TC! YAY!

"Good to go" should be permanently deleted from the universal lexicon.

"Like"
Should be a shooting offense.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on Linden's face -- forever.

I'm ready for "paradigm shift" to go away.

I use this term on helpdesk in tickets all the time. But I realize I need to stop.

*Sigh* The computer application I teach has color coding, and when I'm teaching I say, "It turned green. . . what does that mean?" and about two-thirds of the time someone answers "It's good to go!"

I think you're taking that sentence too literally.

Seriously, I know there are people who misuse this word. But can't it also be used facetiously for exaggeration purposes? Perhaps, paradoxically, they know full well what "literally" means but they are
using it figuratively. Not to mean, "figuratively," but for ironic figurative
usage.

It's something I was taught to shout when I think I'm about to buy a piece of the farm, 'cause no one in their right mind would ever shout, "I love you, Lieutenant!"

Hey,
I never really watched the original. But CSI Miami is a lot of fun, the criminals AND the detectives are bat shit crazy in that.
