For me, I'm quite fond of the Tick's...

Best Story: "Night of a Million Zillion Ninjas"

(I might have to verify the title.)

In the particular case of a coding marathon,
for some strange reason, a couple Star Wars lines tend to come up on occasion -- if some quirk has been giving me a headache for a while and I suddenly have a flash of insight on how to fix it, I've been known to mutter "I have you now!" Similarly, if I'm pleased with something, whether it's because of something I accomplished by design or accident, but it's particularly beneficial to the coding session (and this is the really wierd one), I'll mutter "bo chuda..."

Or I just go in silently, with an evil grimace on my face. Scares 'em every time.

But don't forget the classic:
"I have a bad feeling about this"

Eponine... you can't convert your life savings into unmarked bills of small denomination with non-consecutive serial numbers and send it to me in a plain brown envelope!

If I'm driving, my battle cry is a long string of obscenities, thrown together as creatively as possible. Extra points if they rhyme.

I HATE that. 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.

But usually when given a coding project, I just say "Consider it done!"

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself for a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

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.

"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)
