Say what?

You know who's in Say What in the December issue? This guy.

I have been quoted twice, it is quite an honor. Enjoy it.

Some day, I may say something witty. Until then, I'll stick with useless turbo theory.

I know that glorious feeling. Best part was one of my buddies clued me in on it. Its cool to be mildly famous.

Fame is over rated. Before you know it someone will try to beat you with a golf club and you will crash in to a tree.

One day I may be cool, but not today.

I made it again for a total rip from Talladega Nights. I wonder if I need to acknowledge my sources?

I have dreams like Tiger's nightmares.

My whole goal in life is to get quoted. I need to start saying more interesting things. Aw crud that means I have to be interesting.

I've been quoted twice: Once with my old screenname (ArtOfRuin), once with my current one! Now all GRM readers know I'm too broke to afford a Porsche Cayman S and that there ain't no such thing as a free Fiat.

I got quoted about helping someone paint a Chevette. I thought I said way funnier stuff than that.

Depends on what you used to paint said Chevette.

I made it to "Say what?" once.

A piece I submitted on buying/selling online was used once too.

Best I can ever claim was a reader letter for SCC that I had submitted. I was about to get a car (not mine) into Readers Rides there too, but then they went belly up. Sad thing too, as AFAIK, it's the only DISI swapped regular 3 hatch, anywhere. And it was swapped into an SP23 chassis, already a really rare car. Oh well. Maybe I should go back to trying to get on the 10pm news.

My old C.O.M.M.A. spridget became a challenge car after I sold it, and it sprouted T-bird turbo drivetrain.

I only ever really talk about Saturns or beer on here. Guess those topics don't include many opportunities for witty remarks

my one comment in "say what?" was wittier than all the other banter Ive ever uttered...thats not saying much cuz I tend to drink a lot

This post is clearly fishing for another spot.

By the way, i can't believe nobody's done a 'Say What" leaderboard yet.

A "Say What?" Leaderboard would rock!! I've only been in twice, and also some quotes in the online buying/selling article. I still can't get any of my damn cars into the Reader's Rides, IHROTM, or Stuck On You portions... I even sent back an accidentally included Poison CD and never even got any swag for it...

How about letting the message board users nominate and pick one of the Say What quotes every issue?

Kinda like letting the inmates assist in running the asylum.

Isn't that just Wally and Poopy?

I've been in there at least three times that I know about. I think the last one was something about iPhones and puppies...

TJ, isn't that what the "vote this comment up" button is for?

"the only people who don't like iphones are the kind of people who flush puppies down toilets. You don't flush puppies down toilets do you?"

Or something like htat. Just FYI, I've been using that about 3 times a month since then. And not crediting you. Ever. And you never will. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

but seriously, I have been using that a lot.

I think the rule is that when you steal someone's witty quote, you give them credit the first 3 times you use it. After that, it's in the Public Domain.

I will now be using this principle in casual conversation, using the proper citation for the principle of proper citation, possibly causing the world to implode.
