Re: Favorite Quotes of DEFCON 17?

Our little Defcon group adopted this really awesome guy who was in the USA for the first time from France and hung out with him all weekend. We were talking politics and law, and this guy busts out in full blown french accent and broken-ish english with,

"I have never been to a prison in the United States. ...could be fun."

I think I about broke a rib. It was hysterical.

Old guy in the elevator- "What are you here for?"
Me- "Uhh, a computer security conference."
Old guy- "I thought you guys were a bunch of hackers"
Me- "Kinda"
Old guy- "Well just don't fuck with the ATM!"
Me- "I won't mess with the ATM, but I wouldn't use the internet."
Old guy- "I don't even own a computer!"

Riding up in an elevator at the end of DC & the start of GospelCon:

random talking, joking

Me: So what are you guys here for?
Two nice ladies: It's a Gospel Music conference.
Me: Kick ass!
...
Me: Shit, sorry
...
Me: SORRY! I'm sorrysorrysorry
Them: (laughing) It's ok! You're fine!

hehe, longest elevator ride. They were very nice, though :)

Re: Favorite Quotes of DEFCON 17?

Best quote in years, from Pappy screaming in a crowded party:
"ADVANCE! ADVANCE! PLOW THROUGH! I'M TOLERANT, NOT BLIND GODDAMNIT!"
(ya kinda had to be there, and have seen the look on Pappy's face)

Next best one:
Gospel lady: "What are all these odd looking people doing here?"
Me: "Obama youth retreat"

(Response stolen from Arclight's quote of last year..but it worked well)

As more start coming back to me through the recovery process.

GospelCon Lady: "Hallelujah!" as I stumbled more than half drunk through a crowd of Gospel folk saying "Can I get a hallelujah, anyone?!"

Conversation between two business types.
Guy one: Did you see that email Robert sent out?
Guy two: Yes, sure did
Me (just passing them in the opposite direction): So did I, stop checking your email on the TV.
Guy 2: Huh? (followed by a look of confusion and borderline horror)

The gospel people were awesome. :) All of the ones I ran into anyway.

They were indeed, I didn't hear one snide comment from any of them. Can't say the same for some of the Riv's other clientele who weren't attending DEFCON.

Okay... so who DID fuck with it? I'm going to assume someone must have

See Joe Grand's slide-deck about the badge.

"Delay beyond our control" - overloaded plane and we lied about it - FedEx
"Minor delay" - two months to clear parts - UPS
"1940" - when we landed on the moon - Joe

Lots of other pearls in that talk. :)

"Well, you sure shouldn't have used your convention pass for that, then" - Riviera official after denying me entry into the vendor's area, with me trying to explain that my badge was at that time part of a larger contraption (the blimp badge hack)
