Memorable Quotes?

Re: Memorable Quotes?

As I walked through the hotel (and then security at the airport), in reguards to Lost's mystery box:


Security gate people/hotel staff/etc: What is that?
Me: a mystery box
Them: what's in it?
Me: it's a *mystery*.....inside a box
Them: Is it a bomb
Me: .......it's a thing for a competition at this security conference
Them: Is it the prize?


Now, they deviated slightly depending on who stopped me, but eventually they let me take the box as a personal item along with my carry-on.

Dark Tangent at closing ceremonies
"She's preggers"

Got a kick out of that.

"
if you cant go goon go tke
if you can't go tke go home
"

Then the frat boys got kicked out of the pool with a confused look on their face. Why were they, the beautiful people, standing with oiled up same-sex compatriots while we, the dorks of the world laughing at them and playing catch with half naked women? This will surely require many cases of coors light to come to terms with in the tke houses of the country. ROCK!

Re: Memorable Quotes?

This actually happened last year, but I don't think I've told many people about it.

We were riding in the elevator with the lights turned off. Somebody had a boom box playing techno. We got in and pulled out pen lasers and led lights and started dancing. Doors opened up on another floor with non-DC people standing there. Remember the look Dr Gonzo got from the tourists in Fear & Loathing when he's faux-stabbing LaCerta? Same look from these people. Drop-jaw and the doors closed.

From this year:
"I found the main mirror and all I got was banned from Bazooko's Circus"

After getting trashed in the carousel bar and trying to find my way back down, yelling loudly:
"Why should I fuck with children? They're too small!"

got at least 3 _really_ dirty looks for that one

I was in an elevator with a random Defcon guy, an old guy, and a hangover. The old guy turned to the other guy and asked:

"Are you one of them computer people too?"
"Yup," replied the random Defcon guy.
The old guy sighed and shook his head.

I wonder if there are rules in etiquette about talking to strangers at urinals in men's bathrooms.

You mean these?

Re: Memorable Quotes?

My friend A and I were taking the Deuce to another casino while a family of Minnesotan women sat behind us, and an OLD school Vegas native slumped in the seat in front of us.

So we all get to talking and finally they ask what we're in town for, and these people seemed nice enough, so I figured they wouldn't get too weird about it, but still:

Me: "It's a computer security convention...well, it's a hacker convention..."
Minnesotan: "DEFCON!?"
Me: "Uh...yeah, you've heard of it?"
Minnesotan #2: "Yah, she's really into computers..."

Turns out one of them actually wanted to go. hehe.

Me: Hello sir, may I take your picture?
frat boy: Uhhh... where's it going to end up?
Me: can I take your picture sir?
frat boy: ....yah. I'm not sure about you hacker-types...
<picture, including badge>
me: Can I take a picture(closeup) of your badge?
brian the frat boy: No. <turns it around>

I had a long good conversation with the older frat-dude standing next to us. He seemed genuinely interested, but I had to scamper off to a talk.

Re: Memorable Quotes?

Some random lady at the Riv after seeing my badge:

"What's a Human"?

I've never wanted to slap somebody so badly in my life.

Re: Memorable Quotes?

"What's a Human"?

On the plane ride home i was looking at defcon pics on my computer and got to talking to the couple next to me. The subject of the conference comes up and I tell them it's "just a computer conference." The woman of the couple sees the badge in the photos and says "So, what do you do at this Human conference?"

Re: Memorable Quotes?

While walking around a crowd Erik, Z and I found it quite amusing to say

"Then I donkey punched her."

While very misogynistic, it seemed to make people crack up at the randomness.

Anyone at the marshmallow war of 2007 (thank you deviant for supplying ammo even if you left to early to partake) will remember that being tossed around at any lull in conversation.
