The symptoms my diminish, but you never know when there’ll be a flare-up.

This time, he’s written a letter to Take-Two Exec’s mother. ‘Tis classy stuff, but, then, Thompson is a a class act, what with his witty comparisons to the Hitler Youth, bible quoting (in the midst of hateful rhetoric, no less) and quotes such as:

The pornography and violence that your son trafficks in is the kind of stuff that most mothers would be ashamed to see their son putting into the hands of other mothers’ children, but, hey, your son Strauss has recently assured the world that he is “a Boy Scout, everybody knows that.” I’d love to see the merit badges that Scout Troop handed out. Is there a Ted Bundy merit badge? If so, your loving son deserves one now. It should be red and green, for obvious reasons.

Yes. Class act, indeed. It makes you wonder when a cure for Herpes will be found. None too soon in my opinion.

I love it when a company has a bit of fun with their products. It’s part of the reason why I love Blizzard’s games so much.

funny air traffic controllers quotes and amusing aviation conversations

There’s a lot of them on the site, but these two have to be my favorites:

A huge C-5 cargo plane was sitting near where a small plane was waiting to take off. The private pilot got a little nervous because the military plane was closer than normal, and asked the tower to find out the intentions of the C-5. Before the tower could reply, a voice came over the radio as the C-5’s nose cargo doors opened, saying, “I’m going to eat you.”

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): “Ground, what is our start clearance time?”
Ground (in English): “If you want an answer you must speak in English.”
Lufthansa (in English): “I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?”
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): “Because you lost the bloody war.”

“in order to accomplish his plan, the government must have the ability to read all the information crossing the Internet in the United States in order to protect it from abuse.”

Yeah, I think he sunk his chances with the following statment:

“Americans will have to trust the government not to abuse the authority it must have in order to protect our networks, and yet, historically the government has not proved worthy of that trust.”

So, remind me, why am I supposed to give you this power again?
