Re: What are the odds?

In Response To: What are the odds? (Jordan117)


: There's another site I read a lot, Metafilter , which like HBO has a
: tradition of making up satirical taglines for the site when it's germane
: to the topic -- usually by quoting something in an article or in another
: comment (i.e., "Metafilter: Wikipedia totally says I'm right.").
: Somebody recently asked where this came from, so I answered them and said
: it was a pretty common thing on sites with a rotating motto, citing HBO as
: an example. Lo and behold, the very first topic on the forum when I came
: to link to it was about the site's tagline jokes! Bizarre.

: So, thanks for adding a little serendipity to the world, Arithmomaniac. Oh,
: and: HBO: Speak of the devil

Utterly bizarre.

And as for Arithmomaniac's gold - I liked this one a lot:

HBO: Now would be a VERY good time to leave!
