I found the battle cry options in the poll a little constraining (granted, they'd have to be given the limits of a webpoll), so what's your REAL battle cry? For me, I'm quite fond of the Tick's... SPOOOON!!!! IP: Logged |

I alternate between "No guts, no glory" and "This time for sure". I'ld be sort of pleased if the first were my last words. IP: Logged |

Mine tend to vary with "oh boy", "fun is" and "joy" (all voiced in a resigned tone) being among the most common. IP: Logged |

The obvious: "This looks like a job for... Super Flippy!!!" I once made a Super Flippy game for a multimedia class. I got my friend Camille to do the voice of Flippy and when I added some reverb to the recording of her doing the battle cry it sounded way cool. I wonder where that AIFF is now? (geek side note: all sound recording/editing done on a Mac IIsi. yeah!) IP: Logged |

One that i've used is "For Aiur!" , "Blast that Zerg!" or "It is a good day to die..." (from Starcraft, go play it), or in case i'm fixing something in a windows computer and the owner isn't close "Work, you stupid thing!" But don't forget the classic: IP: Logged |

I read _The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit_ recently, and Tom Rath had a great set of lines that I just can't remember now.. part of it was "Here goes nothing." Of course, I put the book back into storage recently.. so whatever it was, that's mine! Help me out here guys, someone must know! =) IP: Logged |

The Tick has got to be the coolest cartoon ever. I used to watch it every time it came on. Unfortunately, I can only remember one episode clearly--the one where Tick is sick and he gets cloned from one of his used tissues. I also remember the "speed of lint". I'm still trying to figure that one out. ----- If I'm driving, my battle cry is a long string of obscenities, thrown together as creatively as possible. Extra points if they rhyme. If I'm working on the computer, it's usually a chant that goes like this: "work work work! Work WORK WORK Dammit!" Not very original, but it works for me. IP: Logged |

Especially when someone tells me I can't do something after I've already done it (I met a guy acouple summers back who did that all the time - either it was impossible or wrong, and always after-the-fact). Usually I say nothing, and go do it anyway or show the proof that I'm telling the truth. ------------------ IP: Logged |

My battle cry depends on what stuporhero persona I'm using at the time... For example, since it's been cold around here lately I've been wearing my brown Carhartt coat and hood a lot. Therefore my battle cry is "This looks like a job for... BAKED BEAN MAN!!!!" But usually when given a coding project, I just say "Consider it done!" IP: Logged |

Baked Bean Man, I hate to think about what your super powers might be! My battle cry when anything goes wrong here at work is, "To the bathroom!" IP: Logged |

Here's something of a post-battle cry:

Super Flippy: Actually, Baked Bean Man's super powers seem to be limited to super-embarassing those around him. I will never forget the look on my younger brother's face as he pleaded with me "Please... Don't be Baked Bean Man!" He had a hot date coming over, and for some reason thought that the presence of Baked Bean Man might not be the best of all possible situations. Go figure. My other battle cries include: "Stand back! I have a lemony wet-nap!" "GIVE ME CHOCOLATE!" "Are you going to eat all that?" And of course, I have to quote the Yoda to my Luke... Red Green. "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy! Words to live by. IP: Logged |

- Miles - Here's something of a post-battle cry: "It is not the critic who counts {...}" Indeed, that quote hangs on my wall. Quite helpful for relaxing after having to listen to 13th-hour armchair generals. (or, Miles, in the case of Columbus -- especially if you listen to 610AM -- 5th-quarter armchair quarterbacks who, on every Saturday in Autumn, will gripe about one of two topics: (i) OSU didn't win, or (ii) OSU didn't win with a large-enough spread) ------------------ IP: Logged |
